What's in a name?

[shadesofmauve]

I want to try Glitch, but it requires me to name myself before I design what I look like, and that’s very backwards to me. Don’t want to be stuck with a name that doesn’t fit forever

I know, I know, my problems are HUUUUUGE.

[In more important news, I turned in my remodel plans for review yesterday, so hopefully I’ll hear back from the city next week and can move ahead with my remodeling project. I’m also working on the FINAL chapter for A Star to Steer Her By (there may also be an epilogue, but if so it’ll be short). It’s about half done, and the end feels amazingly close (okay, I already wrote the end. Two weeks ago. Because it’s the fun bit). I learned that I'm legally allowed to keep miniature goats in my back yard. I’m also cleaning my garage so I can start immediately if the remodel permit goes through.

So, life goes on.]

ANYWAY ABOUT GLITCH…

Have considered: Irascible Kumquat, Creme Tangerine, Mighty Pickle. Because my brain got stuck on food stuffs and refuses to be budged.

That is such a weird design choice. Most MMOs have you do the name last, or at the same time as character creation. I'm like that too; I ended up deleting a character a recreating because the voice actor they used in game just didn't fit the character I'd created.

I like Mighty Pickle :D Also, you could just put down a placeholder name, make your character, then delete, choose a name and recreate that character all over again. Tedious, but that way you'd get what you want.

It turns out that you can change the character design at will; that may be why they do the name first. I ended up naming her after sea slugs. :P

Mostly I'm amused by my own character OCD-ness -- here's a game I KNOW is just for silly cuteness, where the characters are cartoony, that I probably won't get very invested in, and I still take three hours to find the perfect name.
