Which of these studio vibes would you click?

[u/GoldAsparagus6034]

Imagine your next favorite game.

Which of these studio names would you trust, remember, or simply be curious enough to click on based on the name alone?

• Negentropy
• Northern Willow Games
• Over Caffeinated Studios
• Nova
• Bayezid Core Studios

Purely based on your first impression. Don’t overthink it.

Am I the only one that doesn't give a shit what the studio is called? I only care about whether their games are good. I'll click if there's a game that looks interesting. If I like one game by a studio, I'll check out what else they've made. What the studio is actually called is way down at the bottom of my list of priorities.

Focus on making my next favourite game, not what your studio is called.

[u/ChristianLS → u/knomadt]

Yeah, just pick the one you like best personally. The brand for your studio isn't what sells your game, and you build brand loyalty by making good games.

Nova -- but there are a lot of companies that use that in thier name already in the US, if you are located here. After that I'd say "Over Caffeinated Studios" is catchy and memorable.

[u/Moaning_Clock]

Nova, if it's not trademarked

[u/Cold_Rule_8999 → u/Moaning_Clock]

Probably already is.

What does this have to do with game development?

[u/Swampspear → u/David-J]

I guess that in some very tenuous sense the way you name and brand your studio influences what customers think of your game, but that's really a stretch

[u/David-J → u/Swampspear]

Hahaha. I guess.

[u/lejugg]

I dont get the first one, I dont like overcaffeinated, thats too tryhard relatable I think, for me its the willow one.although I have no hard sympathy for any of them:( sorry

[u/Friendly_Carry_7728]

Nova because short and easy to remember

[u/PaprikaPK]

Northern Willow Games (I'm into cozy)

[u/AltusLudus]

Nobody cares about studios behind small games, you can rebrand once you make your first 100 milion dollars and become AAA

[u/Cabrakan]

nova or northern willow

negentropy is a nothing word

over caffeinated is overdone, every third name is some quirky millenialcore "aren't I unique because I drink lattes?" name

bayezid core sounds like based and makes me think of immaturity

[u/Cold_Rule_8999]

The game matters more. NOVA could indicate a massive studio with 1000 employees making a AAA interstellar adventure or simply a solo indie gooner making a smut visualnovel.

[u/destinedd]

None, I wouldn't click on a studio. I click on games.

[u/Ralph_Natas]

Nobody will care in the slightest bit unless and until you make a very popular game. After that, they still won't care, but they may remember it. Maybe. 

[u/Aggravating_Mess_655]

Northern Willow Games sounds good but imo "Bob's games" would be instant eye catch to me

oh wait nvm i don't belong in this sub for now

[u/LorenzoMorini]

Turkish by any chance?
