Starward Rogue expansion name

[Pepisolo]

Hey everybody

We've been struggling to come up with a good name for the upcoming Starward Rogue expansion, so we need help! For the most part, the expansion is mainly just more of everything. More enemies, more items, more bosses, more mechs etc. In terms of a theme, the main one is that all the new stuff is on the gold floors. We also have three main varieties of new enemy, Phantoms, Deathspheres and Crystalline. The Phantoms are ghostlike, the Deathspheres are kind of like those balls from that film Phantasm, and the Crystalline are elemental style enemies. The new expansion has a ton of new items, especially. So, here is a long list of name ideas we came up with -- yes, even the silly ones -- to start some brainstorming here. We're looking for feedback on any names that stand out , or suggestions for new names. If anybody can help with this, that'd be great. Cheers!

Yeah, help is 1000% appreciated at this point, heh.

Interesting. Looking at the list...

I really like "Core Madness" for some reason. Especially if we start seeing apparitions in the game. Plus, googling the name doesn't point to anything problematic (can't say the same about the base game unfortunately).

"Gold Authority" also caught my eye and doesn't clash with anything major on google.

"Golden Ptarth of Misery: Solo Cinth Protocol" :P

Yeah, the phantom enemies are transparent and a few move through walls and stuff, so they're a bit ghostly.

Golden Ptarth of Misery: Solo Cinth Protocol"

Hah. Might work...might work.

Another angle could be something based on the three new mechs, the Zephyr, the Warhog, and the Paladin. Perhaps... the magnificent....trio......doh! Naming is tough!

[Pepisolo]

Bunch of probably mostly silly names:

Enter the Smelter
Goldrush
Dead and Gold
Dreadzone
Suntrap
Deadfall
Goldgrave
Goldrun

OK, so these didn't turn out that silly after all.

[BadgerBadger]

If you want something based around a trio, what about Triarii?

I'm really not sure. I find that I like some names, but then go off them after a few days. Triarii doesn't really grab me at the moment, but maybe it will in a few days. I'm just hoping we can throw out enough names that one will eventually stick!

[Pepisolo]

How about a trappy approach?

The Serpent's Trap
The Serpent's Bait
The Serpent's Lure
A Serpent Snare
The Dragon's Trap (heh)
The Hydral's Lure

Or something with Hydra in it

Hot Shot Hydra... etc!

[Pepisolo]

More!

Behold! Gold!
Heads will Roll
Phantom Death Zone
Cyborg Serpents Must Die
Warhead
Augmented (make the Au a bit more goldy coloured)
Authorized to Die
Mother Lode
Mother Lode of Misery
Lock and Lode

Augmented (make the Au a bit more goldy coloured)

That really could work, in my opinion.

[x4000]

And for the just-plain-text ones, it could even be AUgmented.

Yeah, I was a little concerned that the word Augmented might not look interesting enough, but AUgmented has a bit more punch. Seems more interesting. I like it -- for the moment at least!

[tombik]

+1 for AUgmented.

[Pepisolo]

Augmented looks good. I've slightly gone off the AUgmented -- just because the chemical symbol for gold is Au rather than AU, so that's just niggling me, heh. Although AUgmented probably does look more interesting.
