Level Names
So I was thinking.
Well, more precisely, I thought of something as I took a quick look at the budding level list - I find a lot of the level names are... I don't know. Somewhat... generic? Overdescriptive? And then I thought it'd be awesome if we could have a sort of hidden gimmick concerning the level names, a sort of game-wide easter egg.
Like, what if all the levels in the game where named after, say, a song or a piece of music? Anything at all, and it wouldn't have to relate to the content - just share a name. It would still be very open, and easy to adapt to the already submitted level. But at the same time, it would add a certain 'connectivity' between all the levels in the game, and a subtle surprise for any player that is paying attention.
There could be other naming 'things', too, but something vague and open like that would be pretty easy to work with.
Yes? No?

Re: Level Names
that would be pretty cool, especially because I don't really like the name of my level.
Maybe the first letters of the level names put together in the order of level numbers equal some sentence, that you can for example read if you open it in Lunar magic and check the level names editor.
(That would probably be a bit too hidden )

Re: Level Names
I fail to see the point (who actually cares about level names?), honestly, but as long as I don't have to come up with anything...
Re: Level Names
Aww but I like my level name.
But I also like the idea of completely irrelevant level names too.

Re: Level Names
All level names should be a random adjective followed by a random noun.
Here's some I just randomly generated:
Unshapeable Tapeworm
Unfimbriated Whalebone
Misfortunate Fruitfulness
Nonnicotinic Dehydration
Promisable Clothesline
good idea, no?

I dunno, it was just a summary of some morning musing.
edit: haha, that may be going a bit too far! Though I like the idea, in theory at least.

Re: Level Names
Some level names seem really good to me, while others are indeed a bit generic.
Some connection between level names would be funny, but if it is to much trouble to think of something for certain levels, we should just as easily be able to drop it.

Re: Level Names
Maybe I'm just overthinking this, but I just don't want to force people to name their level to something they might not want, y'know? Especially when there's no real point to it.raocow wrote:There wouldn't really be a 'point' to it, it's just something silly.
Personally I don't care, so I guess it's up to you guys.
Re: Level Names
the first letter of every level name spells out a sentence/word

The first level of every level name?

Re: Level Names
I think every level should have a "clever" title.
Like you could submit your level and people could give suggestions as to what would be a good name for it.
If we don't want to do that Daarkbuu's idea sounds hilarious

Re: Level Names
I think we should just make it like people suggest clever names. I don't like the idea of being forced to make your name pointless. The name is a fun thing.
Maybe we could have world of pointless names or something. Kinda like smw's special world.

Re: Level Names
If it's just in one world it's dumb.
Nah, if people don't like the idea, fine, we won't do it, simple as that.

Re: Level Names
I dunno if I'd really like completely random names like that, Rubberfishy.

Re: Level Names
It'd only be partially random, because you could choose the two words yourself. I get what you're trying to say, though.

Re: Level Names
You know, I'm surprised people are considering my idea, I was being stupid when I suggested it myself.

This is really important to consider.

Re: Level Names
Exactly, I don't think we should make this mandatory unless everyone agrees with it. It's their level and they should have the freedom to name it whatever they want (unless some people might find the name offensive, of course).

Re: Level Names
