I need a new title!

[marhault23]

So I've got this game I'm working on. It's a deep space horror game, inspired by movies like Alien and Event Horizon and the video game Dead Space

Stuff I'm thinking of so far:

Adrift
Black Void
Schwarzschild Radius
Life Support
Becalmed
Decompression (Explosive Decompression?)
Derelict
Hard Vacuum (or maybe Perfect Vacuum)

I like the idea of using a term related to astrophysics or maritime navigation for the title, but I don't that much about either. It would have to be obscure but have a cool, relevant meaning.

Damnit, I was all excited about letting loose with "Derelict" and you already got there. I think that's a really good one.

Maybe Derelict Vessel, or just Vessel.

[marhault23]

Vessel's interesting. I'm going to try to riff off of that too.

I guess "Dead in Space" is too literal? How about "Plasma Fatigue" or "Heat Death."

Did I mention I suck coming up w/ names?

[dscleaver]

How about making the title be the name of the spaceship? Which would then need a good name... SS Icarus?

[marhault23]

Sarah suggested going with a ship name too. I like the idea, you can pack a lot of color into it. We were talking about researching maritime history and finding a ship that was lost or where something really creepy happened, for that subtle weight it would lend when you find out why the heck I chose that title. Sort of like a less well known Flying Dutchman

Right now, I'm really liking "Perfect Vacuum" and "Life Support". They give really different feels, though. Do those prospective titles provoke any response from anybody?

[adamdray]

"Life Support" is really good. Here's some more.

Void
Dark Matter
Freight
Steel Coffin
Space Coffin
Zero-G
Doom Star (haha)

Life Support is the now the current working title for the project. Thanks for your help, everybody!
