Project Game Title
After a thorough proposal and discussion, my group and I decided to set the name of the game to Hamster Hear, where Hear is both a verb and the name we gave the hamster.
This name not only has a double meaning but also captures the core gameplay and features of the game very well. Firstly, as a verb, “Hear” points directly to the game’s reliance on sound to recognise and select objects, highlighting the importance of hearing in the gameplay experience. Secondly, the use of “Hear” as the hamster’s name adds a sense of personalisation and intimacy, making it potentially easier for players to remember and love the character.
In addition, the name is concise, easy to remember, and easy to understand, which makes it easy to attract players. It effectively conveys the main idea of the game, while also being fun and creative, which may help it stand out from other games. Overall, we all agree that this is a very appropriate and attractive name for the game.
