Please for the love of god. Someone add proper split screen and controller support for any Minecraft clone.The mods available aren’t good enough for kids.
You’re right, I should have made some google poll or something, darn it. (EDIT: added non-twitter link, removed old one)
There are games such as Prison Architect (that are my inspiration in various ways), but I wouldn’t bee as bold as to name mine just Architect. 😅
Another idea was Nation Builder, but that also seems too generic to me.
You’re the first person to explicitly say to like my Steam page (even though I am fully aware the graphics are kind of atrocious), so thanks again. I’ll keep developing this project, and see where it goes.
Honestly, +1 for Nation Builder. Generic isn’t necessarily a problem. It gives space for the gameplay itself to define the game’s identity, rather than its title.
A bit of warning : I’ve seen indie developers mention that having a single common word for their game title was a mistake. It makes it hard to search for. A combination of words or a simple phrase is better in that regard.
Searching only for “Architect game” right now already yields a bunch of things, like a Korean MMO, actual house architect simulators, and you know, the very popular Prison Architect.
Edit: I think part of why I like it is that it’s evocative of both “construction” and “destruction”, and civil engineering necessarily involves aspects of both. Like, even when there isn’t existing infrastructure to demolish, there’ll still be tasks such as digging into the ground to anchor support structures, which I could consider to be a kind of destruction
I like Country Architect too! It could lead to a country-esk builder who builds small towns and leads them to building nations based on principles the player learns from starting simple and escalates on the premise that different cities and states will act according to geographic landscape and resources. I wish OP the best in naming his game and designing the systems of play that bring education and principles into the forefront of a player’s motivations
It sounds very infrastructure/trade based than politics, so I’d stay away from nation/country terms. Regional Planning would be a generic term for the infrastructure piece, could use Commerce if trade is important. >
Birth of a Nation is also the name of a well known film which is notorious for containing racist stereotypes and portraying white supremacists as heroes. Fledgling Nation is good though.
Oooofff, thanks for pointing that out!! Yikes - Birth of a Nation, dead in the water, terrible suggestion, strike it from the record, definitely don’t use that.
