I think "Puberty" would be a fitting title for this kind of game.

I wrote in "Heartwarming Adventure With No Dull Bits" in the survey. Don't know how good a name this is, but it's better than most of the suggestions.

Ugh he actually listened to the forums and added "The Divide" and "Worlds Apart"? Those are two of the most generic names you could think of. Hopefully this is still just early brainstorming and he's cooking up something really good. Although I couldn't think of a thing so what do I know. "Small Offerings" sounds the best to me for some reason.

Broken Age sounds like a generic sword and sorcery fantasy title and both forum suggestions are possibly even more generic than that. Guess I'm voting for Small Offerings even though I don't think it has anything to do with the boy's story.

Eh, I think Worlds Apart was probably best of the lot. It's not remarkable, but hey, it's a video game title. 99% of them are uninspired. It's surprisingly difficult to put a really good label on a creative work. Worlds Apart is at least descriptive and isn't outwardly bad or anything.

I too am not really thrilled with any of the options. On the other hand someone on the DFA forums suggested Twice Upon a Time, which kind of owns.

Broken Age is too similar to Broken Sword, another classic point-and-click adventure game series that just had a successful kickstarter. Voted for Worlds Apart, but I am a bit disappointed in the bland name selection.

I guess it's all kickstarter-community-input blah blah blah, but Tim just grim fandango'ing it would've been fine. It's not like he has a bad record for naming or something.

Pyradox posted:Guess I'm voting for Small Offerings even though I don't think it has anything to do with the boy's story. I'm betting it has more to do with it than we know, seeing as they picked it. Anyway, that was my choice as well. Wasn't my favorite but I agree with the fella who pointed out that it fits well with Bagel's art. The others are completely forgettable and generic.

Apparently Tim picked a name a few days ago but never told anyone outside the thread or updated his OP. Here's what he decided:Tim Schafer posted:Thanks for all the input, backers! So there you have it - Reds is now Broken Age.

Broken Age seems to be the name of some weird German browser game that is just a broken website. Shouldn't be a problem but you know what happened last time they ran afoul of European copyright.

I can totally see Broken Age being something the Dragon Age 3 appreciation thread will be taking as their own, soon. That being said, what a terrible name. Oh well, not that big a deal for now.

Eh, I think it's fine. It's evocative of the game's themes and it doesn't strike me as too corny. I don't expect greatness from a title, it's just nice when you do get it.

Fun fact: The description was written and the site was uploaded during the PAX East Double Fine panel. I've been really bad at keeping up with the Kickstarter updates because they all go to an account I don't check often, but after going to the panel I think I'll catch up when I get back home.

The teaser trailer that will be shown after the Game Developers Choice Awards tonight has just gone up on the backer's forum. I'm not convinced by what they've cut together for the trailer, but it's nice to finally see things up close.

I think that looks outstanding. The animation alone is incredibly well-done. All my misgivings about the name are suddenly no longer important.

The GameInformer article by the guy we saw in the recent episode is now online. Careful, though - it is a bit spoilery, describing some puzzles, objectives and characters in Cloud Colony. I ended up only skimming it quickly.

If I donate anything at all, I get the first 3 games on the list? And if I donate more than the average, I get Brutal Legend as well? I ask because Psychonauts on Mac OS X costs around $9.99, and even at donating then average, that's still cheaper, and you get more games.
