Hello,

I'm just wondering what kind of name rings the best to your ears..?

Here some screenshots to get the mood of the game, click on them to see big size version : (it's still not final, only work in progress)





Here a bit of background about the story :
Basically : you're a new guard or staff recruit in a dungeon prison ; the 1st night you're there some bad & mysterious stuff happens, and when you woke up all the prisoners escaped. The warden is scared & hurry to runaway so he appoints you to get back the escaped prisoners and let you pick 3 other prison personals to help you for that while he's leaving through the dungeon lift with the remaining staff.
So you'll have to get the prisoners back & discover why they could have escaped in the 1st place.
In that story, "Dungeon Guardians" can both refer to your party or to the escaped prisoners who will now be guarding the dungeon (they'll be boss to kill, their mind having been corrupted by an ancestor "Dungeon Guardian").

Thanks in advance for your feedback !

The textures look much better now, i really like them .
But i can't help you with the name; you should wake up at 3:00 AM and shout the best possible title... .

Kind regards,
Nigogu.

EDIT: What about "The Path to the Liberation."

Nigogu,
it'd be an interested tagline (although I think in good English it might be "Path to Freedom" ), but it doesn't fit the story. I just added the story background in the 1st post of this topic.

Looks a bit like id Tech 1... which engine do you use?

Kind regards,

Psevdónymos,
id Tech 1 is Doom => http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Id_Tech , which looks like this :

It doesn't really look like the screenshots in the 1st post...

I'm using Unity3D which is close of Id Tech 5 minus the MegaTexture technology (I don't need it anyway), and I'm not using the parallax mapping either (the artists who know how to handle that correctly are probably all workings on AAA titles).

Oh, I'm sorry ... I mean idT 5.

This is what I found while searching for "Dungeon Breaker":



So, I guess this name won't make it. :p

VMoe86,
of course, I had checked all names, I know what Google gives for them...
The one you found is actually not a game, it's a developer toolkit, so it wouldn't be too problematic if I had decided to go with that name for good.
The real problem is that is also a name of a free Flash game (a clone of Cut the Rope), so it's a bit everywhere (I'm surprised you actually found out only the toolkit & not the game), so that's a big "no".
Nonetheless, I still wanted to test that name, even though I was already sure to not keep it, as it was the 1st name I found out, years ago, when both of these products didn't exist.
