Name

[Amelorate]

Buildstation, while an okay name for a SS13 server, isn't very good for a standalone game. We need a new, better name that doesn't identify so much with SS13 and more allows people to think of this as it's own thing instead of a SS13 remake.

Also nothing named after gods, since that kills any chance of finding the game using google or the like. Also preferably something that you can easily google and find immediately instead of finding it 3 pages deep.

My original project prior to it becoming buildstation and ss13 related, Used the working titles "Exile" and "project_XX124"

Feel free to change or use the former as you like if youd like to use it.

For now, system_XX124 sounds like a good idea. I slightly changed it up and by the looks of it, there is no webpage indexed by google by that name. It also is a reference to the lore that I have made up so far. I'll write up the lore later today.

Space Station 13 itself is a good name, because it describes the setting, and says a subliminal "You're screwed." by adding the 13. Which is completely correct; SS13 is not a safe place.

I feel like our name should have some sort of way of saying that as well, if we are going for chaotic gameplay. I think System_XX124 sounds too vague, honestly. The name is also complicated without explaining much about the game.
Just my opinions. I kind of like Exile. It's also vague, but cliche names like that are cliche for a reason. They sound good. I think we should keep looking.

Exile, although being a good name is already the name of another game, and it kills searchability.

I know, it's not a name we can take. I think we still haven't found our go-to name. We need to keep looking until something clicks, something we know is great.
