On project names
I hate naming new projects. I usually get distracted for hours finding one so I can refer to my project with a name rather than for example “the game framework I built to replace the crap one I was forced to use while at university” (That got named TMFW which stands for Totally Metal FrameWork). Because of this I just spent about an hour of my time creating a giant list of names that I can use at a later date.
It involved some random generators, a little bit of my own thought and occasionally me throwing things at a chart of names. It has however saved me a bunch of time at a later date. Now all I have to do when it comes to a name is look at the list and go “That one”.
Also, I can’t wait to start work on some of these even given that I only have names and my project names rarely, if ever, relate to the final product. Seriously, Bleeding Fist had better be one of the greatest things I have ever created or I’ll be super sad.
