"Spring" imminent?
i once had a game i was plotting out on papper but never was developed, it was called 'isotope...' (55?) something or another. and it was basically a simple but strong engine with modular like settings not so unlike spring. isotope was choosen as you know an isotope is an element that changes very much in its state by the different number of neutrons in it, but never theless it always remains the same element. i dont think isotope 55 would be a good name but its just an example of using a name that describes the game well, kind of how the name 'total annihilation' describes the total mayhem which is loose on the battle fields of the old game. i geuss 'heavy metal' or 'spring' kind of describes the game as well, but avoiding catchy non descriptive names is a definate.
sorry just some more things
1) answer from the site admins autorities, did you guys want an original name, ala no spring in it? i saw you mentioned no TA.
2) just an idea but lets stay away from 'total' and 'annihilation' synanoms. i mean 'blah blah blah obliteration' its just a cheap and obvious ripp off of TA, no offense to all those old mod and developing teams with similar names.
3) any thing with dreams or awakening or other stuff liek that, almost hints for rpg or a game with some plot. if im not mistaken spring is going to be a mutliplayer RTS only, no campaigns right?

Total Retaliation, I've always had a thing for the word Retaliate
Last edited by Justin Case on 05 Nov 2004, 12:45, edited 1 time in total.
I've always called this game "total construction"
(is what u gotta do to win a multiplayer OTA game.).
a friend of mine did this interesting suggestions
unlimited annihilation (annihilation unlimited)
i like this couse is what sping is becoming to be, unlimited expandability, (uh thats a nice one too)
total expandability, (expendability...) (everything is expendable in total)
another ones of mine are:
total steel control
total control
spring: total control (stc) (construction)
(this is nice)
steel forge, metal works, steel works (spring: steel works) or TA, still works!
lol, that's nice.
TA spring: Steel Works
:D

A new name
A new name for a new game that is BASED on TA, thats a tough one because you got to know the lawyer will be all over it. So like the man said nothing with "Total Annihhilation" in it .. or CORE... or ARM or any other references.
SO my picks
"Battle For Control"
"Broken Peace"
"End Of Peace"
"Universal Unrest"
"Dogs Of War" (stretching reference to "Cavedog")
"Artifical Conquest"
That my .025 cents
p.s. <the name "Death" was given to me by a bunch of newbie TA player, they told me to put it up, it's not an ego thing>

(Rise of the) Metal Mind
Steel Forge or Spring: Steel Forge (or another name with Forge in it) gets my vote.
Metal Spring (the harshness of metal with the freshness of the new engine!)
Melted Legions (to symbolize the uncountable number of armies that have been melted and burnt in this war)
Recycling Reincarnation (mainly a joke, but it sounds cool, and could refer to the fact that the same metal must have been used for many war machines, since ARM and CORE are always reclaiming wrecks!)
IMO, Spring should stay as the name of the engine, and the different name we are looking for should designate our new, free version of TA, with new names, and a similar storyline and units.

those names are really boring. Not innovative at all.
Though, as far as i understand, the game will not have missions, I still think the game will/should have a story.
And as long as that story is not written down, this whole discussion is pointless.
So my suggestion would be: Open a thread about the story, and then decide upon the chosen story, what name the game will have.
And since this post won't be read by all those kids, who drop in post their meaningless infantile super dupa mega ultima game names here, i still see a purpose in writing this post: It is good to kill time, in times when you are bored
peace, and roger that
