Byte Knight Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 I recently released a demo of my next Adventure game that I made with the help of sprite-artist extraordinaire, Pac-Man-Red. It's preliminarily called "Epic Adventure", but not everyone likes the title. Legal issues aside, do you think the game is worthy of the title "Adventure III"? Click on the above link for more information about the game, and here are some pictures: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrekMD Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 In your signature you say: Epic Adventure - Adventure meets LOTR! How about calling it Adventure Lords, Lords of Adventure, or something along those lines? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Cafeman Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 (edited) This looks fantastic based on the pictures. Tonight I'll try to download the demo and see what it plays like. What's wrong with "Epic Adventure" as a title? I like that too. It is certainly better than "Quest for the Golden Chalice". "Lord of the Square" Edited July 19, 2011 by Cafeman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gambler172 Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 Hi BK I had the time to check out your game more intensive.It is really great,plays very well,the graphics are great.Sure it is worth to be named ADVENTURE 3 greetings Walter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScumSoft Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 Naming it Adventure III would be a bold move, as your game would then sequel Adventure 2600 classic. I'm not opposed to people using good names, but now there are some high expectations you need to live up to Demo is great so far, perhaps once the game is finished and polished up it will be worthy of that title. But for now, Epic Adventure is a good name. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceDice2010 Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Be careful. If I recall correctly Atari thinks they own the name "Adventure" as it relates to games like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great job on Adventure II by the way - my second favorite game behind Adventure! Edited July 20, 2011 by Byte Knight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, since we discussed this very topic here. That's why I said, "legal issues aside". I would ask them for permission before doing anything...

TrekMD Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 I don't mind "Epic Adventure" either. I see nothing wrong with it myself. I gave you a suggestion based on the possibility you might want a different title and using your own description on your signature. You know what? This is your game. You're the one programming it. As far as I'm concerned, you choose what to call it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheRedEye Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Adventure Lords is like the coolest name ever, if you don't use that I'm totally stealing it for something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Byte Knight Posted July 21, 2011 Author Share Posted July 21, 2011 Adventure Lords is like the coolest name ever, if you don't use that I'm totally stealing it for something. Go ahead - we can always use more Adventure games! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pioneer4x4 Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 I would not use Adventure III, but some other name with "Adventure" in it would be fine. Do you have a name for the setting of the game? If it was set in "Bytopia" you could call it "Adventures in Bytopia" that kinda of thing. (and remember where you heard Bytopia first from... ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian O Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 I voted "We're not worthy"...I hope that means that the game is so kick ass that we're not worthy, and not that the game is not worthy of being called Adventure III... -B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red 5 Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Just played it and as a big Adventure fan I really like it. I don't know if Adventure III is the best title because it is not so much of a sequel (like Adventure II was) but more of an amazing graphical upgrade with some great new toys and enemies. More like Adventure 2011 than Adventure III (but Adventure 2011 is an awful title) Kind of like Madden 2002 on the Xbox and you just created Madden 2011 on the 360... but the amazing part is that you created that graphical update and added additional items on the same system. Incredible. Really. The game is really impressive and I would buy a copy instantly no matter what you name it. Very cool. Congrats on a great job!

Adventure '11 does sound like a modern remake for the 360 or Playstation III... Check out the latest release - I added the Evil Magician boss. No more casual strolls bringing the chalice back to your home castle! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legend Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 What about "The Evil Magician's Revenge?" Since it seems to be a bit of a sequel the Evil Magician's Return. Kinda like Yar's return/Revenge. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Byte Knight Posted July 26, 2011 Author Share Posted July 26, 2011 Hey Legend, I considered that name but I thought it would get confused with my first game. Also, "Evil Magician's Revenge" would be a better title for a game in which you have to defend the chalice from an onslaught of enemies. Hey, another game idea!

AtariBrian Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 will be thinking of some good names and if i come up with any i will post them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raskar42 Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 This game looks amazing. but i had to vote no. not because of any worthiness factor, but because it is ,for me, to far removed from the graphical simplicity i loved about adventure. your game looks awesome and can stand on it's own name and imo it is worthy of this: also if your taking suggestions how about Dragonsbane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That picture is really cool... The name is cool too, but the kingdom more belongs to the Evil Magician than the Winged Dragon. The dragon is "under the control" of the Evil Magician.

Legend Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 I think avoiding the word "Adventure" in the title is best. Like has been said earlier, not because of worthiness or copyright, but because the game can stand on it's own and deserves it's own title. Understandable about the return/revenge confusion. A game playing as the magician and laying traps for the hero would be awesome for "revenge." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Cafeman Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 The best name so far is easily Adventure Lords. Somebody mock up a box-art using that name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legend Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 The best name so far is easily Adventure Lords. Somebody mock up a box-art using that name. Personally, I don't think that title really strikes a chord with the game. To me, the word "lords" in the title makes me think of a warfare game. It also implies multiple lords and there only seems to be a lone hero. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
