Change the name?

[danimesq]

I think another name can be better than "BananaBread".
PS: I don't care for the negative reactions in this issue.

[Croydon]

For what purposes?

[danimesq]

Have a exclusive name.

[kriekprinsloo]

I agree. The engine looks similar to the Quake engine in my opinion. Here's a list of enemies from Quake, Quake 2, and Quake 4: http://quake.wikia.com/wiki/Monsters_(Q1) <https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/goog_1683510813> http://quake.wikia.com/wiki/Monsters_(Q2) http://quake.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Quake_IV_enemies Personally, I like the word Strogg, but that's just me.

I agree with a more exclusive name. And a name that you can search on Google, and see the game in the first page. But the actual name....

[Croydon]

The name is out there for several years. I can't see a real benefit from that, but rather too much broken references and work for nothing.

Everyone will find this project if searched together with a keyword like "game", "engine", "browser", "mozilla", "emscripten" or something similar.

[danimesq]

I'm not talking here about what I want, but about what is better.

[Croydon]

Also it's the Cube 2: Sauerbraten engine, naming it after something from Quake would be really discrediting towards the Cube 2 developers.

[danimesq]

BananaBread wasn't the original name (Cube 2), but the port name. This can be renamed. But use a name from Quake, I don't agree.

[chasester]

@name
I like the name, I dont know if I agree with your claim, if you type in cube you dont get the cube engine 👍I dont think this game has much repor so the name isnt gonnae do anythingg but confuse people.

[danimesq]

Why keep this only a demo with a random name, if this can be a great game?
Because the developers of paid games don't want it?!

[kriekprinsloo]

Wait... Why was the name BananaBread chosen in the first place? I agree with Plasmmer, this is a great game, and it has so much potential.

[danimesq]

Its just a random name for a random game. I don't believe this can be a random game, but a great game, like you said. But this can be better, and bigger. Let's see if the people of open-source software can work togheter.

[kriekprinsloo]

Sure, of course it can be a random game with a random name just because, but it can also be a good game engine, with a great name,used by people, and that's actually memorable, not named after one of my favorite things in life.

[danimesq]

But I believe some owners of paid games don't want open-source games being great ;)
Like I don't believe the creators of Photoshop likes GIMP, or creators of ACID likes Audacity, or creators of AutoCAD likes Blender.

[kriekprinsloo]

And why wouldn't they? They already have access to the closed-source applications. But for the rest of us... We need to make the good open-source projects great, or we'll be left in the dust, so to speak.

A good start is picking a name with meaning, with substance, and that actually relates to the engine.

[danimesq]

But this is the intention of a lot of owners of paid products. Because it we don't have yet a democratic git service, and/or a lot of investment on open-source projects.

[kriekprinsloo]

Sometimes I like to think that the open-source community is bigger and better than one of the big companies like Adobe...

Anyway, here's a start:

http://www.fantasynamegenerators.com/game-engine-names.php

[danimesq]

Is bigger and better than a lot of companies/projects/products, but isn't too united.
Sadly, a lot of developers want to start his own project instead of helping others. Or start a project and abandon.

[kriekprinsloo]

Heh. Kind of like me... But not this time.

Here's some names I found:

Particle Engine
Havoc Toolset
Fusion Studio
Hysteria Engine
Hex Engine
Havoc Creator
Lucid Engine

I will keep a running list in this post. Feel free to mix and match the names!

My recommendation: Quickfire Engine

[danimesq]

I don't like the Engine name in a game. Engine is a backend. A name need to figure the frontend.

[kriekprinsloo]

Hmm... What about SimplyFatal as a name? Or maybe just QuickFire.

[danimesq]

Please search on Google. Already exists a game with such name.

[kripken]

Wait... Why was the name BananaBread chosen in the first place?

Sauerbraten is a German food, so we were looking for a food name ;) BananaBread seemed as good as any.

I think it has reasonable discoverability, searching for "BananaBread WebGL" gives this repo as the first link.

But if there is going to be new development here, and there is a good name proposal, that sounds great of course. The name new can be like the "2.0" of this project.

[kriekprinsloo]

I did. QuickFire's taken, but I didn't find that SimplyFatal was taken.

[chasester]

Whats in a name? A rose by any other name would smell just a sweet.

[kriekprinsloo]

If you insist on keeping the name a food, here's a reliable source for German dishes

[stkrzysiak]

May I suggest alternative 'quick' breads: http://www.food.com/topic/quick-breads
The real question is which bread is the most exclusive? Which bread conveys reliability, performance, and a strong community? I vote for 'BeerBread'

[profkittyface]

Breadngine

Visual Banana Bread Studio 2020

[profkittyface]

QuickBread, LoafMaker, VisualLoaf, Glutenizer, Stone Hearth, Hearthstone, BakeThisAt350, SoMuchButter, UnrealLoaf, TemporoBanana, AreTheBlackBitsSpiderEggs

Can it get a GF badge so my wife with celiac can use it?

[oxr463]

I ran into this project quite a few years ago, and I was telling a colleague about it the other day, and the only reason I could remember the name was because of how quirky it was.

+1 for BananaBread!
