    Yep, this will be my first iPhone game! A lot of the work was contracted out to different teams...I played mostly a game designer/project manager role. If this works out, I'd like to consider doing it full time though. Moonlighting won't pay the bills!

    Seriously... This game looks super polished (I know polished is an overly used non-word), but the screenshot looks really good!

    About the name: Since you already have a subtitle (Lands of Fate), maybe some non-word (not in any dictionary) could be a good title as well.

    How about a competition to give your game a name then? Winner gets a promo code :)

    Anyway, how about Scrolls of Fate? and you can just skip the subtitle.

    That's a great suggestion Prab, both for the name and the contest. Let's see how many people would be interested in participating. I can't decide if I should have some sort of guidelines, or just make it anything goes, lol.

    I guess its fine. He can keep this thread for info about the game and getting name suggestions. Once all suggestions are in. A poll can be made on a separate thread :)

    Let me know if you want to change the thread title to something about the name competition :)

    That's exactly what i was thinking, hehe. I need to get a video together so that you guys can see some of the other cool aspects of the game like how the map interface works (you can flick, scroll, zoom, etc.), not to mention complete quests to progress a story line, etc....this thing is jam packed, lol.

    Can you give us a summary of the game, such as story, or is that still supposed to be a secret

    Not so much a secret....more like a spoiler. Part of the fun will be seeing how the plot develops. What I might do is post the prelude/introduction tomorrow, if people are interested. That will kind of set the stage for what's happening and why.

    I think Scrolls of Fate sounds better, but Creatures of the Scrolls starts with a "C"...which helps with the alphabetization issue with iTunes.

    hmmm, Fuzion does sound really futuristic, I would expect that to be the name of a shooter or some kind of puzzle game where you have to put items together

    ...but until we know more about how the game is played, it will be harder to suggest a good alternate name idea

    the first 3 screenshots at the top are really beautiful though

    I think the name does need to be changed. The game actually looks really amazing. I'm not really into RPG's, but I am interested in this mix.

    Just some advice, your customer would rather have a very high-polished game with less gameplay, than a long drawn out story with low polish. Keep adding those features, options, small little details and story and you will have a winner on your hands.

    I hope you take the right path because you seem like a great developer.

    Get the word "word" in there so people no its a word game just from the name.

    Word Conquest, Battle Words! Words of Power! Death by the Word! Words are Weapons! Words that Cut!

    Best I can do without knowing what the game actually is.
