Hi Tyler,

1) A Thesaurus is a great tool for naming. There are plenty online. If you type [space] it might list cosmos, universal, galactic, solar, void etc. You can apply this to any word.

So... Space Invaders: Dark Space might translate to Cosmic Corsairs From The Lightless Void.

2) Convention or not ???

a) Conventional >> use the Theme/Genre/Setting/no of players,etc. : Combat Blasters Space MMO

b) Artefactual >> After important artifacts/elements in the Game: Thorium, Fission Coil, Space Station Zues.

c) Enemy/Storyline >> The Callium Masters, Slavers of Oerth, Toms Intergalactic Debut.


If anyone needs ideas on how to achieve things, or has questions on aspects of design, code, art you want to ask me questions about join the following group:

I did not think of using a thesaurus. I will experiment using the different methods you proposed.
