Names for this project's end release.

[Wohlstand]

I think, you know about the "PlatGEnWohl" name. It is the codename, as you see, this project's name is "Platformer Game Engine". And I think, we must select the end name for the release of this project, before we finish releasing it. This is important - as this is the project's face.

My little things:
Because GNU OS uses the Linux kernel, and the target OS naming is GNU/Linux. => After the realization of PGE with a full tool pack and the engine part, SMBX-version of PGE: (PGE with SMBX configs, graphics, musics, sounds, algorithms) will be named SMBX/PGE (not "NSMBX", NOT "SMBX 1.4" etc.).

Don't forget, this is only a collector of ideas and target name we will select when we will be ready for it.
Now project have working name "PGE Project"

About variants:

• "Platformer Game Engine" (PGE) is current working title, but still be too generic, and also by "PGE" in google you can find: PG&E (energetic company in USA), PGE Arena (a stadium in the Poland), "Polish Energy Group". So, is hard to find in the google. However "PGE by Wohlstand" gives the right result.
• "Kitten Platform Studio" seems unserious, and now I think to growl up project into higher level to let the indie developers use it for making real projects, not only just a child toy (like legacy engine was). In nearest feature is planned to redesign logo to look more prestigious than just a child toy. Even I like cats, but I with my nearest collegues are discussed that is no connection between cat and game engine, and using cat just "because liking cats" is not good way.
• "WohlSoft Platform Game Studio" - just a small idea in my mind which based on title of our community and describing it's purpose. Title seems long and is not so unique (there are LOT of projects with "Studio" word in title, etc.)
• "RetroMaker" (by CaptainSwag101), even interesting title, but our project can be used not only for retro-style games, and also for any other game styles (look at Blade game as graphical design example, even a case of unique gameplay feature like ability to manipulate with a time, etc).
• "Platformer Maker", or "Platformer Creator", or "Platformer Toolkit." (by Mikepjr) seems very generic and not unique

The best title must be: short, simple (to easy remember), unique (must be easily found in the search engines without guessing and describing extra things, "PGE" is not unique and gives lot of junk results instead our project).

Seriously, sounds not so beautiful.And not easy for search in internet

As people use PlatGEnWohl (short: PGW) and Platformer Game Engine (short: PGE) as a common name for this project, I would like to close this discussion with that. As long people know what is meant, I am fine with this.

I figured it captures the essence of what this is since it is not just some engine with limited power and its not directly involved with specifically just 2d once its finished; Also its only limited to your imagination later and it has a drag and drop interface. In the end will be a full studio suite that supports only what is limited to your imagination. I was going to shorten it to the UPS Engine but then we would face onslaught for the domain name United Postal Service XD or UPS for short.

Also in the end I see this overshadowing the Game Maker Studio. I figured since the core was built on platforming however it should be in the name and since it is a development engine; that the word engine should also be in the name.

Eh, I think the codename is fine.

I voted a name of my own:
Platformer Generations
That way, you can do a massive rebuild and massive update with better support of future systems, and then Platform Generations II, Platform Generations III, and so on. Great for building new iterations with many more features than the last. And if 3D is ever supported with it's own style, Platform Generations 3D. See how it can be built upon?

Sorry, but "Mario" is forbidden, because we are shouldn't parasite on the untwisted brands like that Redigit did with SMBX, therefore he had vulnerable by laws

[Wohlstand]

Voted for PGE. "Studio" sounds too commercial.

[MACKACHE]

Well this is kinda interesting. Hm... I'll vote the 3rd option.

[Wohlstand]

Voted for PGE. "Studio" sounds too commercial.

Agree, and is not fine because A LOT OF projects (both commercial and free types) are naming self as "... Studio", and it's not unique.
