Frequently asked questions

How do I name an indie game?
Lead with the world or the core feeling. Short, evocative names stand out in store listings and are easier to search.
Should a game name describe the gameplay?
A hint helps discovery, but evocative names age better and support sequels. Many pair a distinctive name with a descriptive subtitle.
How do I check if a game name is taken?
Search Steam, itch.io, the mobile stores and trademark databases. Names must be unique enough to avoid confusion and legal issues.
