Tubebot looks like Bullet Bill from Mario: http://www.mariowiki.com/images/c/cd/BulletBillMK8.png.

So what's up with this retarded name?
I have no problem with silly egg bots, colorful maps and shit but diabotical doesn't sound like king of FPS.

it should be called ROBOTICAL

jus one of the many ideas i am having

Trello is the new name?

edit nvm

I dont fully understand you dird so I'm not sure if youre making a joke that I dont get, but Trello is the name of the organisation software thingy he is using, not the game.

diabotical sounds like mix of diablo and lego bionicle. wich is shitty/kiddo i mean just put 3 names in 1 line and compare what sounds cool: quake, unreal....diabotical ?! wtf

To be honest, the name "Unreal Tournament" is pretty shite. Quake is an excellent name. Quake, Doom, Strife, Strafe, Heretic, Arms of Telos, Cube, Tribes are all wonderful names.

Diabotical isnt too bad but I think its not snappy enough. But who gives a shit.

If it was called "splunkblood - garden of the magical dick crystals" and all the player models were sparkling pink dolphins I would still play it as long as the gameplay was good.

Probably wouldnt get a tattoo of it though

"Unreal" is a better name than Quake is.

"Unreal Tournament" is like "Awesome Competition" or "Insane Battle". Its just a weird combination of words that sounds ok now because its been that way for 16 years.

But hey, its subjective. I know a guy who thinks Diabotical is the best name in the word and another guy who cant stop laughing at it.

" I know a guy who thinks Diabotical is the best name in the word"

2GD doesn't count

fucking gilanguar man

Quake, Doom, Strife, Strafe, Heretic, [Arms of] Telos, Cube, Tribes are all wonderful names.

What do they all have in common? One to three syllables. The name, or at least a shorthand of it, needs to be 1-3 syllables, catchy and memorable. "Unreal Tournament" ended up begin called "Unreal" or "UT" due to this.

"Diabotical" has 5 syllables (Di-a-bot-i-cal), that in itself already makes it a bad choice. I also can't see a nice shorthand for it. Dia? Boti? Diabot? Diabo? All terrible.
(And some of them are way too similar to Diablo.)

It needs a different name.

The short will probably be botical.

Yep, that also sounds terrible. Reminds me of botanical garden.

Haha. Heres a plus. Good morning. Laugh

He is getting really lost as of late and it's time to make game design decisions, that before the kickstarter.

First, the decent robot model concept was replaced by the idea of shitty eggbots. Next, a shitty name was arbitrarily chosen. RIP arena FPS. Reborn was the last hope.

The first "decent" model was a pretty boring. Just another generic sci fi "badass" robot.

The eggbots are at least recognisable and have personality, but they arent cool and serious which I can see putting some people off.

"The eggbots are at least recognisable and have personality"

LOL fanboy detected. Surely they changed to an eggbot because of "personality", not because its insanely easier to model and animate a sphere than a real robot.

Your fanboy detector is broken. I personally dont love the eggbots. I like that they are funny and interesting, but its not something I really want to play as.

But its just a character model, I dont really care much.

Character model, name, aesthetics, sounds. All this shit needs to be good to attract new players, and I want them to be good for that reason, but for me the only thing I care about it the gameplay, so I dont mind playing as eggbot if its a fun game.

Why not both?

When I look at that shotgun, I don't see a shotgun. That design looks horrible and poorly thought out.

He said that too. Not sure if you saw that part of the vod but he doesnt think its shotgunny enough and is going to get it redone

It doesnt looke horrible, it looks pretty cool. Not like the shotguns we are used to tho, in fact if they didnt told us we would never imagine it a shotgun.

i just hit tha blunt and it got me some nostalgia

this game bit like dizzy the egg. maybe game should be called dizzle.

like sequel to the egg games we played as children.

any1 remember the games i mention?


i just hope he making progress with it, QUAKE is so boring now.

but... didn't reflex do most of that shit in like few months, a few months ago? we'll see, but i can't imagine how they gonna compete with overwatch (will be totally different game from veterans point of view, but for casual audience it's gonna be the same shit - like they won't see differences anyway so they'll rather hook onto blizzard's game anyway...)

1. Reflex has no chance of being anything more than a small community Quake clone, forever smaller than Quake Live.

2. Overwatch is more of a MOBA in first person. How depressing it is that it will bury all the skillful FPS predecessors and wannabes in the dark, casual abyss.

sadly i have to agree. reality of fps games is brutal
