Join me while I begin finding the true name for my game.
Project Stray is just a temporary project code name.

What this means is that I still need to choose an actual name for the game. So I am in the process of brainstorming what I think would be the best true name for the game. So with that said the first thing I need to do is outline exactly what the best criteria would be for a possible choice.
If I examine the names for other similar first person shooters you will see the same basic patterns. The names are usually just one word that kind of provides a kind of cool sounding concept.
Examples :
- Doom
- Quake
- Rage
- Strafe
- Dusk
- Blood
- Reflex
Now I am sure that this list is much longer. But these are the names that catch my attention the most. There are quite a few examples of names that are counter to this as well. (Painkiller, Duke Nukem, Serious Sam, Quake Champions, Half Life ect...)
With all of this said, I feel like it would be most ideal to go with the single word name. Now Project Stray is a game where you navigate large fortresses filled with various kinds of enemies. This can range from Zombies, Demons, Robots and even the military. You will also encounter various boss battles along the way as well.
The story revolves around you being sucked into an opposite reality where everything has gone wrong and the only way out is presumably to go through.
Any suggestions for a name are very welcome!

Project Stray is an independent game project that I am solo working on. Nearly everything you see was either implemented by me or created by me from scratch!
You can support this project by simply following me and upvoting me on Steemit! Or you can play the free demo! Link Below.

Dude this looks awesome! Good work so far! :P my suggestion for a name would be "allein" which means alone in german...the best I could come up with :P
Interesting :)
I had the opportunity to test your game and I love it. You did an incredible job. On the other hand I have no idea for the name.
Don't feel bad, I made the damn thing and still cant decide on a name HAHA!
You know, to be honest I do like the name "Project Stray".
The only problem I could see with it is the fact that it has the word project in it as that is a pretty common word in used in names of games.
I would keep the the "stray" somehow in the name for sure, as it nicely shows that your characters is lost. So, maybe "Strayed"
Great post! Would you mind if I included it in today's "best of gaming"?
Go for it!
How about Death Rattle?
Hints at the fact you WILL die :)
Survive,
Block,
Don't Die,
Doom Slime,
Block Gun,
Demon Cube,
Pink Power
yes you did your best indeed! great work! I am very bad at finding an original name aha but if i think of something i'll let you know!
I like the name Project Stray... so I'd go for a similar name: "Swerve", "Gallivant" both similar meaning... or
Or you should go for @gaming-trail suggestion: "Strayed".. I like it better than both but it doesn't seem as unique as them for a title.
Glad to find fellow Gamedev here by the way...
The reason I cant just use Stray is because there is another popular fps by the name Strafe.
