Why not call in Underground Wars.

The name has 3 parts. One, it takes advantage of the levels take place with dirt in it. underground implies that the game has something to do with dirt.

We also are a small community, the term underground can also be used with that.

Another large part of the game is clan wars.

So in a sense the name is catchy, the name is free, and it will come up with hits on the term "underground".

I like your argumentation, even the name sounds nice to me, but it's damn long. Imagine yourself typing www.undergroundwarsalliance.net in the browser  Also the logo in game would take too much space.

Game names don't have to be short. I thought it was stupid when I read that.

Every game I know of, has a short named version. But just to name a few.

World of WarCraft - WoW.
Metal Gear Solid - MGS.
Final Fantasy - FF
Breath of Fire - BoF
OpenLieroX - OLX

You don't need to have a short name, you need something catchy that connects with the game in many ways, the url link for this forum is "LXAlliance", why would we not just use "UWAlliance" for that. Seems kinda pointless to go pay for a domain name that is like, 20 letters long.

But anyway, Underground Wars is not that long of a name, also the name is very catchy because it's something someone would search. Underground itself is a definite catcher. And War Games. Well, duh.

The name itself is kinda flashy as well.

I'm not trying to fight or anything, but a nice rebuttle would be interesting.

I like this one a LOT. Probably the best thing said in either thread, just because it doesn't stick to the "worm" type name and it gives some insight to the game.

I think 'Underground Wars' is definitely one of the best names mentioned here. Asrack is right that a game name doesn't have to be that short. As long people will remember and the abbreviation isn't the same as another very popular game (e.g. WoW or UT), it could do all right. 'UW' doesn't ring any other bells with me than just 'United Warriors', so unless i'm missing something major (quite possible), it would be no problem.

But even though i really like 'Underground Wars', i do still think 'Blastiny: Liero Evolution' is better.
(Also better than 'Underground Wars: Liero Evolution')

[SorZ]

As I said before, I like Liero Evolution the most.
I would put Liero Evolution as main title of the game..
But it works as 'slogan' too..

[Raziel]

(Also better than 'Underground Wars: Liero Evolution')

UWLE... uwle.. uwle... make it EVIL and Im in.

[DarkCharlie]

(Also better than 'Underground Wars: Liero Evolution')

UWLE... uwle.. uwle... make it EVIL and Im in.

How about EWUL? Evolution Wars: Underground Liero 

I like the Underground Wars name as well, you are right that the length isn't that important here. I also thought of shortening it to Underwars but that doesn't sound that well and I am sure some perverts out there will say that it's somehow connected to pr0n 
I only would leave the Liero Evolution subtitle, it quite doesn't fit the main name IMO (just a subjective feeling though).

Perhaps, Liero Wars: Evolution?

[Hatten]

+1 for blastiny, +/- 0 for UW and -1 for anything SorZ have said, not to be mean or anything, but we agreed on leaving out Liero for anything else than the subtitle, almost.
I'm also with DC, LE doesn't fit to UW, partly that, and partly that i don't like the name, doesn't make it a very attractive name in my opinion?

[Rakkula]

I don't get it why you have to add Evolution to every name. Frankly, I don't get the point of it at all. It just sound ridiculous to have the word 'evolution' in a game that has nothing to do with evolution...

Underground Wars sounds okay to me though (only in comparison to other name suggestions). And to SorZ's suggestion: Liero Wars is okay but that evolution part pisses me off again. Why not simply Liero Wars without the 'Evolution'?

[albert]

I don't like "Underground Wars" that much but I guess it's just my personal taste. It's somehow too simple minded. I have that association of "underground" with this gangsta crap, perhaps that is why I dislike it. In general I have a negative association of underground (in an abstract sense, like unsocial people and illegal markets). Or was it always intended to be just the direct sense, like underground = under the ground? If I think of that sense, I began to feel more comfortable with the name, thus I still have also the other sense in mind. Perhaps another word for underground which makes it more clear that just under the ground is meant?

"Liero Evolution" was intended to say that this game is the evolution of Liero - which make sense. Evolution refers to the development progress here. I like it as a subtitle as it still keeps the reference to the game Liero and even describes the development progress.

[Code]

ye, i don't like underground wars either... "wars" is used to much in other /games/movies/etc. (star wars, mob wars, mafia wars, tribal wars, halo wars, gears of war, raft wars, phage wars etc..ect..ect.....)
Liero evolution as a subtitle is good IMO. The game would have another name, but the original game woun't be forgotten. =)

[Ruki]

Can you at least make some meaningful suggestions? Lets call it Urban Generation Fractal :S You are twisting the name selection already and bringing up every random association you can get. Can somebody even tell me what do you/we want? It seems like everybody wants something else. I don't like this, this is not good, I want that and I want this. I like Asrack's way of thinking, he put effort into it. Though, I don't like the name. Underground is used in too many things involved involved with games already, same with wars. But follow his example and not just feed us with pile of shit. Lets call it Worm Realm or Land of Worms or World of Wormcraft or Hardcore Lagiero or RIPero Ospstreme or Ocean's 14...

Why using some subtitles and spreading it to 10 words, why not keeping it simple like Hirudo/Liero was/is?

Also close this thread as well after it becomes Odyssey and open a new one, that will lead us towards the end.

[albert]

We (the devs) are developing OLX. OLX itself is evolving.

[Spoon]

Need to start narrowing it down, the suggestions currently there are good enough have have enough support in their own rights to be viable names. Leaving it open encourages more names to be thrown around and you don't want to be spending your time debating half baked suggestions when you could be zeroing in on and fine tuning a suitable name that's already there.

[Gaston]

Yes. Why don't the mod take the list, and the suggestions from here, and come up with a list of 5-10 names that they'd accept as the name of the game?

EDIT: "Mod"? I meant developers. Excuse my crappy English >.<

[Spoon]

Don't let this stuff die out now you finally get a decent thread on it.

[NightShade]

World of Wormcraft.... I saw Rukis post and that actually is the best suggestion I have seen in this entire thread xP It would be good imo if it wasn't for Warcraft like allready got this WoW title so It would just be confusing and what not.

Albert said: We (the devs) are developing OLX. OLX itself is evolving.

Evolving... I like that word... But it makes me think of this question; what is it evolving into?

Are we trying to evolve to the same stage as perhaps TeeWorlds? (WITHOUT THE DAMN MOUSE AIM!!!!) (a)

Liero Evolution is the best suggestion in my opinion. ''LEVO'' for short....

This game will always evolve. At least as long as we got the developers.

We are always open for suggestions. I have now idea where we are evolving to. That is often the case, also in nature. You make modifications here and there, add some new features, extend already existing features, get rid of (or hide) bad features and slowly the game is getting better and better.

There is already another thread about the general direction of development:
http://lxalliance.net/forum/index.php/topic,12395.0.html

If you want to say something in what direction the development should lead us, let's discuss it there. We are very open for any input.

For example, what do you mean by same stage as TeeWorlds? From amount of stability and features, I would say we have the better code base. I even don't know any feature in TeeWorlds which is not there in OLX (current SVN) - but I don't know TeeWorlds that good.

If you have ideas about some new concrete features, fill in a feature request here:
https://sourceforge.net/tracker2/?group_id=180059&atid=891651

Teeworlds have one feature that I dont think olx have (sorry if it has, I havnt tested beta9^^) and that is that you can search for a player and se if he/she is online and if so in what game the person is in. I at least think thats a pretty handy feature to have

[joni]

LEVO name sucks, just think about someone asks what are you doing - you answer: I am playing LEVO. 

I would greatly agree on keeping the old name OpenLieroX it stands all what this game is about open source version of LieroX. Isn't it handy?
And this game is every day falling deeper and deeper to the death, it already has another leg in the grave. And still, half of the players would be playing on older lx/olx versions so they wouldn't play this new generation game, whatever it's going to be called. And if we need to pick one name from the huge list of names I would pick Underground Wars. Btw, why should forum web-address change? It represents the whole lx community, it isn't olxalliance.
