Finding inspiration / help for making up (weapon) names @StevenStadnicki, and nobody else than a "writer" can do that? my point is, if i know all the possible words related to weapon names, then it is easy for anyone to form up a good weapon name for any situation. I wont hire some random guy just to make up 1 weapon name for my game and pay him a share of the profits. Besides, by my googling, all games names looks very basic, no innovative stuff much, just basic laser+ultimate etc combinations. very easy. Just need to know these combinations first, so i can make up them too. Im not trying to find some ultra innovative names anyways,just practical. |

Finding inspiration / help for making up (weapon) names Probably not a good idea for a futuristic game, not to mention, i find latin names very hard to write and remember. names should be easy for everyone to handle, simple but clever. think about all that non-english community who suck at english, most people do, by my experience. i know by experience that people will shorten every name possible. in your game people will call it "Prob" probably. "send more probs!" (if its an unit name...), thats what i want to avoid too; the name should be good as is, without modifications. |

Finding inspiration / help for making up (weapon) names I dont think i need one. I just need to know all the scifi words, then just use some of my brain to combine by random and take the best names that feels good. Where to find such a list, though? edit: chaos found one: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Science_fiction_weapons |

Finding inspiration / help for making up (weapon) names Checked the Alpha Centauri names: Psi Attack, Laser, Particle Impactor, Gatling Laser, Missile Launcher, Resonance Laser, Chaos Gun, Fusion Laser, Tachyon Bolt, Resonance Bolt, Plasma Shard, Quantum Laser, Graviton Gun, Singularity Laser, String Disruptor. is that all? pretty much what i thought, theres not much more names i could use than those prefixes/suffixes. Maybe i should get some military weapon names list somewhere and mix with laser/quantum etc scifi words in it :D |

Finding inspiration / help for making up (weapon) names I wonder if anyone has made a list of scifi weapon names... when i think about the scifi TV series i have been watching, i can remember surprisingly little about the weapon names... zap gun comes to my mind for now, and phasers indeed. what else? photon torpedos... umm... death ray? doesnt fit my game very well though. |

Finding inspiration / help for making up (weapon) names i think its harder for my native language since there doesnt exist any games that use weapon names in my language, they are basically loaned from english, and if not they sound really dumb. |
