"Spring" imminent?

[ephillips]

How about

padsua

(Please Dont Sue Us Atari)

Or someone suggested something similar, how about:

Spring: From man to machine

[K-man]

I put my vote for:
"The Spring Project"

That would make a perfect title on a official site. After all, that is just what's it all about; A project - without solid deadlines, economic interesst, or any such. Just a ongoing project trying to create and improve on what we love most...


I everyday-chats well known as:
"Spring"

And with the default installation together with OTA known as:
"TA Spring"

(I guess you could help me fill in the list... "XTA Spring", "SW Spring", etc...)

[ephillips]

you are right, project spring is good, aditionally it is top of google for 'TA spring', which is always handy

[clericvash]

nice one k-man!

[Anonymous Joe]

The Forever War.

Or

Annihlation Springs Eternal

Or

TA: Eternal Spring

SINTA

Spring Is NOT TA.

(self-recursive GNU type name)

[Anonymous Joe]

Techno Army Spring

So the TA != Total Annihlation anymore.

Still would be called TA Spring for short

Or
Terminus Ares: Spring

Final War, The Last RTS you will ever play.

[Pxtl]

The Forever War.

Or

Annihlation Springs Eternal

Or

TA: Eternal Spring

SINTA

Spring Is NOT TA.

(self-recursive GNU type name)

Yeah, I already suggesed SinTA. Forever War is a name of a very popular classic science fiction novel (think Starship Troopers meets Full Metal Jacket).

[Guest]

I like "The Spring project", but "Total Spring" would be not too illogical.

[Storm]

Why is the guest option enabled?

So gits like me dont have to log in to post from college/public libraries etc.


As for names

Generic Name for RTS? + A name meaning one....

Straticic Combat Commander One
StraComCom-1

Tactical Assault Prime Commander
TA:PC :) thats a good one considerin the SYs arnt making a linux or mac port for spring. Though as a minour point, if it runs in windows, it should run at an ok level for mac..... shouldnt it?

[Blackliga not logged in]

More names -

Terminal Army - Spring
(TA-Spring still, and its close to Total Annihilation in meaning)

Tactics And Stratagy PRimary INcarnation Game
Using the capitalised innitials TASPRING :)

[Guest]

who says that the game will have a TA story? Can't you come up with something new, something original instead of just copying TA?

No offense, but i think the effort to find a name for the game before the story-line is written down will be futile.
(Mayb i've missed something, and there is already a story... let me know!)

btw stories, something like the holy grail is always good for a war-story.
Mayb some kind of foreign artifact that is found, and one faction that is scared from games like UT and DOOM dont want to mess with it, while the other faction are evangelists who pray to george w. bush and think that the artifact is the artifact named in JOS 320.1 that promises eternal peace, or something....
And they are so sure about it, that they will fight for it... And in the end it turns out that the artifact is....
OH well, just ranting, im sure you will come up with a better story than TA, hehe, and then you can decide on a name.

Ain't my suggestion good?

[gregzenegair]

What do you think about "Totaly Annihilated"

[Neuralize]

I can't think of calling Spring anything other than Spring. I guess all computer games have original beta names though. :/

"Fray."
"Autumn's Machines."
Or just..
"Autumn" (What? It rolls better than "Spring.")
"Remnants"
"Intrepid"

[Beowulf]

/* non serious suggestions
Swedish Yankspankers New Exciting Revolutionary Game Engine (it nearly looks like synergy)

Spring of the Armegeddon (you know, like dawn of the dead)

Well its taking too much time to name this thing. We are naming the engine, right? Realtime Adaptable Tactical Strategic Engine. Moddable Opensource Omnipotent/Overpowered Strategy Engine (MOOSE!)

*/
Ok, real suggestions: Who cares? Everybody already loves it, and it won't matter too much. Since there is no plot (it has been stated that this engine is MP only), we just need something that won't get people confused. I can list some interesting things, but I say stick with TA:Spring

Dawn of Spring
End of Wars
Metallic Soul (M$!!, or maybe Metallic Consciousness)
Metal Dreams (or Steel Dreams, but MD can be nicknamed Doctor)
Zero Tolerence
Steel Soldiers
Cyber Ethics

Anyway, My ideas are as good as anyone elses.

:edit: sort of on the autumn line, with Fall = Autumn:
Fall of Man

[Coydog]

Steel Soldiers is the second game in the Z series. I'm thinking plain old "spring" is sounding better and better.

[zzz]

since it's supposed to ba a work of art name it
"Opus No. 16"
like all great composers gave numbers to their work and not some phoney shitty names.

[Gabba]

Combining some above ideas:

Spring: Steel Symphony (I like the alliteration, and it has the letters SY in there! )

Spring of Consciousness

Terminal Obliteration

And one more:

Exhausted Galaxy

[sp1der]

I like "Spring" as the engine. As for the game name,

World Master or World Mastermind
Eternal Conflict or Future Conflict
World Armegeddon or World Annihilator
Supremacy
Destiny or Spring Destiny
Springdom or Sping Kingdom
Springaloution or Spring Revolution
Terraspring
Magmaspring
Springalator
Planet Spring
Exospring or X-Spring
Spring into Battle

For me, the name is important, but is more important the storyline and the game modes. I would like to see new game modes (a Campaign, or at least, a very few missions; a Skirmish mode; a Multiplayer mode and something else, like a mode where you can only use aircrafts and instead of being strategy, it's a flying simulator (TA:S is a RTS/flying simulator game)).
The storyline could start after the Implosion Device, in TA:CC, and the Arm Commander has to recuperate his troops and begin again the war against the powerful Core Commander. Also, about the music, it would be nice to put some TA tracks and also new tracks. And it would be very very nice to put some new units and a race, or two!! :D
