View Full Version : Need name suggestions...

So i'm basically finished with my latest mini game. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for the name it's currently called 'Valley of the Beasts' but several people have suggested I change it and I'm not too crazy about it myself.

The game plays out with one team making their way around avalanche to different territories, jumping and running between various elevated safe points, while the defending team tries to splatter them with either a tremor or ghost. There is only one life per round but the capturing team can respawn their dead when they capture the next point. There is even a small rock wall you have to climb to reach the last point.

I was think about something from mythology or folklore, possibly a land where beasts or demons were damned to or sent?(without making it to cheesy or cliche) Or tremor valley, just to play on the popularity of the old game but, the fact that there are ghosts as well doesn't really make sense with the name. to give you guys a better idea, here is a quick layout I did during my ungodly boring asp.net class. It doesn't show any of the scenery i built just general locations of equipment and territories around the map.

So... any ideas?

Tremor is a term used for brute chopper. I actually just realized the old game is also named Tremor Valley (http://www.forgehub.com/forum/featured-halo-maps/355-tremor-valley.html) so that wouldn't work.

Yeah the canyon and pass ideas are on the right track but when you enter tremor into thesaurus it thinks you re talking bout a earthquake when in reality it is referencing the kevin bacon monster movie tremors. In the movie there were these worm like creatures that traveled underground and could sense where you were by vibrations.

How about Australia? Convicts used to be sent there.

Yeah, I know what Tremors is, I was just avoiding the Tremors name because of the fact it also has Ghosts.

So, I was playing more on the fact that they have to splatter you.

How about kimon? "The northeast direction was once termed the kimon (鬼門, "demon gate"), and was considered an unlucky direction through which evil spirits passed."
