Hello all, I've been working on this top down corridor shooter (think something similar to Alien Breed except with zombies not aliens, and these zombies are not just mindless shambling automatons but carry flamethrowers, rocketlaunchers, shotguns, emit poison gas etc, have multiple pairs of arms etc). The player has to find/rescue the surviving scientist on each level, and then make his way to the exit. Along the way enemies drop ammo and credits/cash which can be picked up and spent at the computer terminal on each level to purchase equipment and better guns. Not only that but each level has a time limit before the level is flooded with poison gas meaning the player has to be quick. That's a basic overview. Currently all graphics are placeholder but our artist will begin working on them soon enough - and it's a lot of fun for all who've played it. Now I'm struggling for a title. The backdrop is that the player is a soldier in a 'monolithic corporate entity' enlisted to put down a zombie virus outbreak in a research facility...The gameplay is action packed fast paced with lots of firepower. Possible titles so far: (most of these are terrible so that's why I'm coming to you guys for assistance). Plague Soldier Plague Defender Mission Zombie Rescue Infection Squad 88 Frantic Firepower Frenzy Frank Fury faces the Zombie Apocalypse Contagion Containment Contagion Warrior Bubonic Gun-Tronic ....your possible titles....: |

Thanks Yasha - Research and Destruction takes my eye, but I'm keen to see some more from everyone else too! Thanks. |

I'd go with something short and snappy - a one or two word title, comprised of only a handful of syllables. For example: Kill 'Em All Gross Out Oooz Mutagen Die, Please! Code Z - as in, "There's been a Code Z Zombie outbreak in the lab!" Redeaden - as in, "Your task, soldier, is to get in there and, err, redeaden those undead!" |
| ||
Yes short and snappy is good - more along the lines of those that you've posted JustLuke would be good - I like "Oooz" and "Code Z" - "Mutagen" sounds good too but I hope it's not already taken! Along those lines some more short and snappy ones of my own perhaps are: Infectious Oozy Splat! Microbe - Z Sergeant Splatter X - Infection Oozy Exterminator |

Well, if you wanna have one of those oh-god-it's-so-dramatic-just-look-at-it titles, I'd go for LOCKDOWN: NECROSIS Alternatively, if you want something a bit more along the lines of a euphemism such as might be used by said monolithic corporate entity, try Clean Sweep If you want something that's a bit edgier or almost cheeky/sarcastic, since they're zombies - the principle being that they die and then come back - you could use something like Stay Down! Or you could just say "hell with it" and take the sci-fi/military angle with Outbreak Zulu-One (As in Z-1, Zombie-1, you get the idea. Also forms "OZO" as the title abbreviation by which lazy internet-goers would inevitably end up referring to the game by, which has a nice enough ring to it.) Last edited 2011 |

I love "Lockdown:Necrosis" - over the top dramatic is great. But so too is Outbreak Zulu-One. |

Dead Space Although, I do like Lockdown : Necrosis, also. [edit] Meh, forget that. Seems there's already a game called Dead Space. Last edited 2011 Putrefaction? Last edited 2011 |

Thanks all, hopefully in a few more weeks the art work will all be done and I'll have something to show you, most likely both a flash and an android version....or possibly just the android version at the moment. |

... or possibly just the android version at the moment. NOOO! I DEMAND TO BE KEPT IN THIS LOOP! FLASH OR DIE! >:L I also demand $5,000,000,000,000,000,000 for the licensing rights to my intellectual property of LOCKDOWN: NECROSIS(c)(r)(tm)(mt)(gmt)(est)(ttfn), payable in cash, cheque or monkeys' testicles.

or possibly just the android version at the moment. If your worried about someone nicking your flash build and touting it as their own, then take a peek here:- http://www.indiecodez.com/forum/index.php/topic,199.msg5340.html#new Dabz |
