I need name ideas for the new planet in Outpost: A New Beginning. If you guys have any ideas, please post them. In about a week I'll look at them and run a poll. Please only post names here though, you guys can discuss them or whatever in the poll. Thanks :-)

Vintrage ... don't know why but it came to mind.
-
Sirius, Valconis, Nirtue, Beta-7, Valdez, Miquentis, or Gimeni
-
Alkous, Sistron, Zulog-3, Grimzlar-5
-
Acenar, Yeesha...
-
Procyon 3? Lucy?
-
Alderaan, Altair
-
Bob, name it Bob!
-
Name it planet :D
-
Ther'es no way of knowing whether they somehow landed on Earth again. Name it Earth.
-
name it "NEW 'new terra'"
-
Lol... New Terra Revisited
What about New Hope?
-
Hm, why not let player name the planet himself?
-
That'd be interesting, but then what do we do about the name in the storyline?
-
u have them enter the name which gets saved in a txt file as a variable
then u could just use a piece of code to refer to the txt file variable for the story lines
-
But then what about animations with pre-recorded voice :-p
-
That's pretty easy: Just say 'planet' instead of name (thumbsup)
-
Yes like instead of Commander, planet sirius is being destroyed.
just say commander the planet is being destroyed.

Aside from the very good suggestion of allowing the player to name thier own planet, which would be very apt considering OP1 allowed such. New Earth comes to mind.
After all Earth, is just another name for Terra, which also translates to Dirt, Sand, and Mud.
Additionally, it would be entirely possible to have say a small list of planet names preset, then using an option, the game could choose the correct planets name for the proper voice recording.
This way if a player choose one of the predefined planet names, it could then go through the intro.....
1st there was Earth, then Disaster struck (Try to show a clip of the original intro showing the asteroids hitting.) and we were forced to flee or face extinction. Then there was New Terra a place of hope for our kind, until we tried to make the planet into Earth. (play some clips of battles, and parts of the intro to OP2.) Between the plague we unwittingly unleashed and the conflict between our sister colony we were forced to flee yet again or face extinction.
Now we have come here, and we have called the planet "New Earth" (or home if the player chooses his own name.) for X number of years now.
Obviously the above is just an example, but the idea is valid.

oi oi....if ya'll havnt noticed, these posts are over a year old. this proj is long-gone....
-
wow lol i just made a s***ty long storry to see that it is useless to post it >.>
-
whel i dont whant my hard work goto wast so i am just gone post what i as gone post
if you want ill come up with a sexy name that comes out of latin or something >.> but i need to know whta the planet is like
i mean will they all die ... will they live in happeyness .. will they be happy .
or maybe they will all turn gay so they call the planet something like gaytopia >< na jk.
if you dont want me going to all the trouble here is a word you might wana use :
sper ( it means hope) ( its a verb so it has exits but i wont mention them all now >.>)
sustineo (it means servive )
or we could name the planet after bush something like turpis witch kinda would have meant embarasement
-
Never know a year from now they could come back and the data will still be useful.
-
The project isn't dead actually. Its just progressing as slow as a tortoise stuck in molasses.
-
Same with my project, Colony Wars.
-
wow... I didn't think I'd ever see an update.
Well, with all of the stuff I've been dealing with in real life, I've had little time to work on OP3 let alone OP:MIA. And, of course, I'm still unsure as to wether or not I should actually continue to develop OPUTool or kinda leave it where it is for the time being..
Life sucks sometimes... it gets in the way of the more important things... :find:
-
Yup :(... I wish I didn't have to sleep, and that we didnt' get tired.... I could get a great education and do a LOT of things with OP3 and personal animations I am working on....
