I really like your style-art, especially the character design.. brilliant and fresh!

Wow, thank you Gian90! I thank God for all He has done for me!
I honestly think you should change the name. It simply does not reflect the amount of work you put into it.
What you mean? And what you suggest?
Man the monsters are always way cooler than the adventurers, which is great but a little bit frustrating haha.
lol
Fearless Fantasy strikes me as absolutely generic, like one of those Brazillian shovelware games.
"Brazillian shovelware games" Never played or heard any of them, but I believe that wasn't meant to flatter. No problem. Do you know any titles I can google up?
Are you saying change the title of "Fearless Fantasy" to something more generic?
What part of our game makes you feel it's generic? I know our game has flaws but I don't know if I feel the game is as generic as you may think. I might be artisticly blind, maybe you could point some things out. Is it the character design, maps, battle system, etc?
Thank you for humbling me, lol.
Well the name of the game is indeed generic already, you have to recognize that, it doesn't really stand up.
I remember the gameplay trailer, so that is not generic, but the inventory, the heroes, that us just plainly conventional.
As for the monsters, dude i am loving those, again it maybe be just me, but humans will never be able to compare, they are humans after all the more average and common thing there is, you can't really do much with them, humans will be boring looking even with the most cool armor, if we put them next to one of the monster you have shown so far, they will end looking plane, and while i am at it, i don't really like their faces, but that is just me.
Lets see what Squidly has to say. But yeah i am loving the enemies!
HAhahah, thank you. Making monsters is fun and that is real funny to hear. Haha, I noticed you like drawing monsters too! Cool. Just wait until you see them animated!
"humans will be boring looking even with the most cool armor, " haha
Well, hmm, generic name..hmmmm.......
Hahah, eavesdropping.
No I mean the NAME is generic!
But now that you mention it, except for the amazing quality of the game, it's not exactly breaking down RPG barriers but that's OKAY! Look at Epic Battle Fantasy, it works and it's not even remotely original :P
The brazillian shovelware games are what Tom was referring to in the censorship posts, just check through the portal on any given day. Bad grammar, muddied textures, static gameplay, etc.
Hahaha wow! So that was a compliment! Haahha!! Thought you wanted to hurt my feelings.
Anyway, have you tested it out and seen our game play?
Ahhh...okay....hmmmmmmmmm.........yeah.....well....we kinda decided on Fearless fantasy.......we kinda stuck with it. dont you think it can grow on you? Do you think it will catch your attention? Will you at least peak at it if you read it? Becuase that's all we need. One peak.
I've always liked the title and don't really have a problem with it. Sounds kinda cool, but yeah..the name could be better......... I think I remember you suggesting some other titles....but what can we do? We are kinda ...stuck...or attached......with the title. I don't know man.
Can we name it "Daniel and Andrews First RPG"?
I mean, I know how the game is, I'll play it anyways.
However, it's a really unintresting name. You really, really, should change it. It's not just bad, it's really bad. Very hard to distinguish.
Imagine a virtual game shelf. You can buy one of these:
Fallout: New Vegas
Tales of Synphonia
Final Fantasy
Fearless Fantasy
Fantasy Star
Red Alert 3
The Last of Us
Almost missed it, right?
You need a stand out name. Even a small change of title, like Tales of Synphonia, makes it more stand out. My game was called Second Wind, despite the fact that it was possibly one of the worst names for google searching, it did stand out on the frontpage.
Think about what you want to emphasize.
Fallout - Post apocalpytic
The Last of Us - Loneliness
Limbo - Confusion
Worms World Party - Absurdity
Final Fantasy - Epic scale
So what do you want to emphasize?
what? aint "fealress fantasy"epic?
becuase people be courageous and all dat?
I want to emphasize dat you get to shank monsters and get all up in their grills.
and that the world is fantasy and all dat. and sci fi. help me! i'll give you 50 cents if you get a new title for us that is really good. i can give 5$ if you want, though, if 50 cents is too little.
Man. If i had to try again to title it, iw ould pick maybe almost a sentence! You know those semi long titles?
Help me squidly! help! not just that, but my partner doesnt want ot change it. and he convinced me that its best we DONT change the name and keep it at Fearless fantasy. there are more cons than pros to change it.
so like, if you want that 50 cents (or 5$) you gotta try really hard to come up with a name so good, that it's going to slap both myself and my partners faces, and we'll "snap out of it" and say. " wow, you know what/ suiqdly is right. we otta change our games name to ______"
also...Squidly...i wanted aname that was kinda abstract and nothing specific...so like...we can easily make "Fearless Fantasy 2" with BRAND new characters and BRAND new stories just like Final Fantasy. See what I'm saying Squidly?
dude, how about "Fearless Freakin Fantasy"? doesn't that stand Way out? it might be a bad word though? or "fearless freaking fantasy" ( http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/freaking ) the monsters are bizzare = "freaking" in the title. what now Squidly?!
Well, your spelling just took a dip there.
I can't think of a name without any information about what this game really is all about.
What do you WANT to emphasize?
Take out a thesaurus and help yourself. One thing you definitely should not do is have "fantasy" anywhere in the title.
Words to also avoid:
Dragon
Quest
Fantasy
Magic
Emphasize what's DIFFERENT, not what's similar.
"What do you WANT to emphasize?"
I thought I hat tolt you.
1) You get to kill monsters. monsters monsters are everywhere! Hunting/body guard is a really famous occupation in this universe.
2) Sci fi. there aint no magic up in here. z'all about science fiction
3) fantasy. s'like, you know, koo fantasy stuff.
"I can't think of a name without any information about what this game really is all about."
Now whatchoo got. and you dont need to respond to me today, you know? no pressure. if it hits you 4 am tomorrow , den das koo. I'll be here.
but like, i might just stick wit fearless fantasy, cuase i aint got nuttin else. and what if people be like "Fearless fantasy? Dat sounds like final fantasy, lemmie see what dese posers got" then they check it out and they like the game. they took da baite. How 'bout dat?
The game RealFaction is talking about got 3rd on Pico Day and was made in a single day. Those who got the joke, such as Tom, loved it.
Look, I've seen too many generic names for non-generic games.
Think about Portal, perfect name. Emphasizes... portals.
I've never been a fan of the Kingdom Hearts name, but they don't need a good name, they've got all the marketing power in the world.
Oh hold on man:
"2) Sci fi. there aint no magic up in here. z'all about science fiction"
But the name is called Fearless Fantasy, people will automatically lump it with things like Final Fantasy, plus is an RPG, so you are already giving a wrong impression to the public, is a deceitful name, haha. Oh man and now the Shovelware comparassion just hits hard, because you see people really don't like look a likes, they want originality, an example is the whole Dota, HoN, LoL, wars in which the 3 of them all are similar so the players are in a feud on which game was fisrt, which of course is DoTA, but as you can see people will blatantly ignore history just to give the they like a grade of originality.
As you see i myself don't find the tittle as anything exceptionally especial, and if it wasn't because i already know before hand about how good this is, i sincerely would skip it, just by name, you could say the game leaves a boring impression.
Man you don't have to pay us anything, we love the game, and if we can help avoid making a horrible mistake like, launching out with a name that people will forget, then is great.
RealFaction has a good point, you could name it after an element or concept that defines the story or gameplay in the game. I myself don't like the name Kingdom Hearts either, it only works because is backed by Square Enix and Disney, that means it's marketing power is huge, huge in stupid levels, so big that they cool name it something like "Fantastic Fantasy With Keys", and it would have worked.
So lets talk names examples:
Other than what Squidly said, there is also games like Fez, which is named after an element of the game.
There is The binding of Isaac, named after the main character, AND what he has to go through.
There is Faster Than Light named after an element and theme of the game, which also denotes the sci-fi of the story.
So i am sure there is a better name with more personality for this game.
When Squidly asked for more info on the game, i think (i will dare to speak for him) that he was talking about the story, no about a general theme, because we already know that you battle awesome monsters, and we know what methods we use to battle them, but we need more than just that, we need a plot.
In short we need a name that doesn't makes this sound like a fan art, just to not name it a shovelware hahaha, because is not.
(Part 2)
As you can see we will need 2 things a name that connects the inner world of the game, as well as the general theme at the same time.
I sincerely don't know much of the first part other than you battle a lot of cool things, and that is more of the second part.
So the name will have to be daring, reckless, ambitious, so it wouldn't suffer what happened with Prehistorik, that game was the childhood of many, and the name was giving an idea of what it was about, but, 15 years after, 10 years after, even just 6 years after, no one was able to remember it, i re-encountered it just by pure luck, after years of dreaming about it, waking up and be frustrated because i couldn't remember the name of the game, can you see now how important a name is?
http://www.abandonia.com/en/games/9/Prehistorik.html
So yeah before i jump with names we need something other than the gameplay to define the game otherwise it will sound generic, so for now neither me, nor Squidly or even RealFaction could come with a non generic name, well maybe RealFaction could, it seems he may know more than us, but if he doesn't then we are all in the same position.
Oh man watch this, is a critic on generic Newgrounds usernames , if this is relevant for this post then can you see the problem?

Hahaha!!!

That's fucking horrifying. Excellent work. Although I can assure you that it'll no longer be a FEARLESS fantasy for me.
SpikeVallentine
What's horrifying? Thanks. :)
