axe is a hex editor
vim is a text editor
tremor is already used for a quake engine project.
refering to it as a god is a bit pretentious.
greek words are all greek to me. or would be if I recognised it/the symbolism.
I vote for 'Steve'.

Tremor is probably the best name you'll find.
Projects with a cheesy name are always at a disadvantage, regardless of their quality. For example the Gimp photo editor is very nice and somewhat competitive with Photoshop, but the cheesy name holds it back. A cheesy name always negatively hurts projects (OpenQuartz's name, in my opinion, was bad as an example).
[I don't think that the largely forgotten and abandoned Quake engine with the name "Tremor" from nearly 10 years ago with no living home page should have any bearing on 2013. Quake belongs to the "living", not the graveyard.]Quakeone.com - Being exactly one-half good and one-half evil has advantages. When a portal opens to the antimatter universe, my opposite is just me with a goatee.
So while you guys all have to fight your anti-matter counterparts, me and my evil twin will be drinking a beer laughing at you guys ...

Axe is an underarm deodorant in most of Europe!
Vim sounds like a cleaning product!
Tremor does not sound too impressive and also gives me the image of that cheesy horror movie!
Quake is something that describes an earth shattering event!
The name is extremely important, it should be catchy, something large sounding and easy to google/spell for website address.
Blasted, Impact, Shattered, Aftershock,
or maybe pick some lovely Cthulhu monster instead, as it should be Lovecraft inspired in art style!

Many projects begin with a "starter name" and later find their identity and rename themselves once the project has some sort of feel and direction.Quakeone.com - Being exactly one-half good and one-half evil has advantages.

To be frank, I don't care how they fail, I care about ideas and how people come by them, how they become inspired and why.
Tell me what inspires you Spike - What would you name it? & no, "Steve" doesn't count.Last edited by QuakeRoot; 01-01-2013, 03:52 PM.
