Alright, so I think it is time to come up with an official name for my new engine. Up until now, the working name has been Platyform, a combination of the prefix "Poly" (meaning "much") with the word form (as in much forms), along with a spin-off of it's primary usage - for platformer games.

My conditions for product names are always as follows:
- Must be relatively unique when entered into Google (only popular products like Eclipse can pull off non-unique names)
- Must have some kind of relevance to the product (ie vbGORE... obvious one)
- Must be a reasonable length (ie why I didn't use "Visual Basic Graphical Online RPG Engine Funbox!")
- Preferably one word, but no more than two words
- Appropriate
- Not influenced by internet fads

If you want to suggest a new name, please do so. You can also say if you think "Platyform" is fine or not without suggesting anything new.

I suck at this sort of thing, it's always the part of a project that I spend a stupid amount of time on :P

If you can't think of one you could always just call it the Plagued Dead Engine :) It's not imaginative, but it seems to be the hip thing these days.

I wanted to keep the engine completely separate from the game itself, like how vbGORE was never associated with a single game. The Ninja Story engine is an exception just since it was an engine built specifically for one game - Ninja Story.

Lol like your OHRPGCE project aka Official Hamster Republic Role Playing Game Construction Engine. That was something you made originally correct? I think I remember reading that somewhere.

I really suck at names Platyform I think sounds a little weird. I think getting rid of the t would be best and make it Palyform.
