Help me name this!
The name "Scenario Editor" obviously has to go.
I tried doing some creative thinking on my own and came up with Scened, but that apparently isn't a name according to FLOZi.
So I'm back at stage one. My new idea is something using the word play with "ascension", e.g. aScent or aScend, but seeing how that's not much of a change, I'd like to hear other ideas too.
PS: I'd like short names and it would be good if it's related to one of it's main functionalities: scenario editing, map making and game editing.

OMFG Just saw the video. That looks really!
What the heck is wrong with "Scenario Editor"? Very clean - you know exactly what it does from the name.
Why the heck is "Scened" not a name? It isn't any less a name than "SCSI", "CPU", "RAM", "RTS", "ETC", etc.

Spring {something} (so it is clear it is related to Spring)

Architect
Engineer
Engineering
Drama Queen
Choreographer
Choreography
Mission Impossible
Mission Possible

My favourites are:
- Scenario Editor
- Spring Architect
- Scened
- Spring, Mission: Possible

Re: Help me name this!
Could just call it Spring Content Creator, one day it might do everything.
Re: Help me name this!
Spring SDK?
Re: Help me name this!
After another program that "does everything", i would suggest naming it FoodMixer or K1tchenCombine.

(or just "springboard", for obvious reasons)

Re: Help me name this!
Springboard is clever, but I'm not sure if clever or 'totally in your face brutally obvious what this software is for' is the better option.

I liked ScenEd...
Re: Help me name this!
It was never ScenEd though. The original name was Scenario Editor, and I tried to rename it to Scened where my thinking was something in the lines of:Forboding Angel wrote:I liked ScenEd...

I really did mean to call it "Scened", not "ScenEd". Along with it being a "Scenario Editor", it's supposed to also suggest Scene/"to scene" -> "scened", or whatever
[/quote]
I then realized people would still call it ScenEd and that'd just be annoying, hence this thread
Of the things people said I like:
1) {Spring} Architect, Content Creator, SDK and similar, e.g. DevTools/DevKit, Editor. The only issue is that these lack originality, sound dull, and are a bit presumptuous.
2) SpringBoard/springboard: sounds good but there's that existing iPhone app it would seem. Not a huge issue but maybe not ideal.
I'm now also considering names such as "{Spring} Mason", which I thought of from Picasso's "AshesToClay", and I like how it still gives an idea what the tool would be used for, doesn't sound extremely generic, and happens to give a shout-out to Spring's TA roots.
Re: Help me name this!
I decided on the name SpringBoard, so victory goes to kloot! I also like that it has a neat acronym (SB).
To celebrate, here's a DNTS editing prototype (still uncommitted and WIP) that I wrote today: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3hDYUdQoIAo

Re: Help me name this!
Scened is fine, but most of all, changing names is bad.
Re: Help me name this!
It's only bad if your product has reached any meaningful level of fame. SB has no users outside of me really.
