How important is the title of a level? - BitBuster - 18-Jan-2012 Quote:Dude Descending a Staircase 'I've made it this far,' Chip thinks. 'Totally worth it, all these great threads to read.' Then he reads Madhav's post. 'Totally awesome!' he yelps. (Sorry, I was bored.) How important is the title of a level? - quiznos00 - 18-Jan-2012 Quote:Some potential level titles from my notes, which I haven't found any ideas for:- I should work on putting puns in my titles. And I'm also tempting to change the title of "Thief, You've Taken All That Was Me" to "Honor Among Thieves" ![]() TCCLPRejects contains some gems though. Like "'Parity' Bit", which his homophonic to the J.B. level "Parody Bit", but nonetheless a parody of the pieguy level "the wrong parity". Also, "Going Postal" for an annoying partial post level, and "Impartial Post" for a Sokoban/partial post hybrid. There are some others too.

My only reaction was a dropped jaw and something along the lines of "Seriously?" Also, I have many good level titles in my notes as well, but since one of my main goals nowadays while making a level is for its title to be completely unique and never-seen-before, I'd rather keep the surprise ![]() How important is the title of a level? - jblewis - 18-Jan-2012 I was admittedly surprised when I saw "Unicorn Rabbit." ![]() Madhav, I remember you posted some titles on the NG when I was soliciting for some ideas a long time ago - two of which were "Run of the Mill" and "You Can't Teach an Old Frog New Tricks." Then, a few months later, you put a claim on the latter...and now we all know why. ![]() How important is the title of a level? - Ida - 19-Jan-2012 Quote:A quick shout-out to level designers: if you make a level called "You've Taken All That Was Me," I will cast my ballot for it come time for CCLP1 voting. Oh! Let's make that a Create Competition! How important is the title of a level? - Bowman - 19-Jan-2012 Good level titles, Madhav. Sometimes a good title will give me the idea for the level itself. I thought of a "tank emporium" and that gave me a couple ideas for a tank level. It became "Brute Force" which I think is a pretty good fit for tanks on force floors.

But yeah, I was always impressed with Madhav's level titles -- Great job. We could also hold a bank of unused cool level titles and reserve them or something.

But yeah, I was always impressed with Madhav's level titles -- Great job. This is a fairly good idea, actually.
