Name my port contest

I think this piece needs a better name.

Suggestions are welcome. The winner gets a small surprise (but don't expect too much.

)

ZDoom Legacy

Post by **Graf Zahl** » Wed Aug 31, 2005 18:20

Please be serious. Under no circumstances whatsoever will the name Legacy in its name.

A few serious titles (involving the word "Doom"):

* Grafdoom
* GrafdoomGL (emphasis on the GL)
* Z3Doom (note the clever placement of the 3, making "3D")

Serious titles not involving the word "Doom":

* Heritage (clever take-off of "Legacy")

Not-so-serious titles:

* The Graf Zahl Experience (think Jimi Hendrix)
* Fallen3D
* LEDGE (Lavishly Enhanced Doom Gaming Engine)

No, thank you. That sounds even more like self-praise than GZDoom.

* Z3Doom (note the clever placement of the 3, making "3D")

That's good.

There we have the thing that should not be named again. No, thank you!

I like GZDoom. I see nothing wrong with it and I like the fact that the Z could be both the Z of Zahl and Zdoom.

If it ain't broke...

Let's see what is still to come.

How about Doom++ (Old-schoolesque)

ZDoom2
Thinking on the basis that Doom2 was Doom, but with new great stuff.
This port is ZDoom, but with new great stuff.

But like Enjay said, GZDoom is a good name. Considering it could mean many things.

For example

Graf Zahl Doom
Graf ZDoom
GL ZDoom

Too bad Z is that last letter in the alphabet... You could have done the next letter up.

ZDoom2 already exists, though.

Does it really? I fail it.

Well, that is all I could think of at the time. I must think harder and smarter.
