+1!

i dont know why "legacy" is what people keep looking at, phantasy star III: "generations of doom" did the whole traits carrying over to the offspring thing way back in 1990.

I actually removed the generation stuff a while back. It still has all of the mutations, you can just do it with dying now.

Let me start with by saying that I've never really gotten deep into any of the Soldak Games apart from Drox Operative, and thus have little experience with any given lore of the other games, and as such I cannot make a well-informed suggestion.

But as the setting of this new game appears linked to Zombasite, which is linked to the world of Din's Curse, based on what I've read in this thread I can agree with not naming it "Din's Curse 2". There is power in names. Expectations also, as Dawn of War 3 will attest to as a recent example.

"Din's Legacy" works for a few reasons, in my opinion, firstly in that it is separate yet related to the "Din's Curse" series, and also that it gives a clue to the game mechanics that have been mentioned here. But above all else is that it is a name you can search for, that it is not super generic, like "Dawn of Fantasy" or the like. Having a name that can be searched for hardly hurts.

But I am rambling again. I'll just throw in a campy undertitle instead: "Din's Legacy: Trials of the Mutated Ones"

Din's Legacy could work as the primary name for games related to the Din's Curse series, but not being part of the main series itself. While 'Trials of the Mutated Ones', or Mutants, or whatever they are to be called, could work out to denote the focus of this particular spinoff game. A more clickbaity name would probably be "Din's Legacy: Bastards of Din", or Mongrels of Din, but I am rambling again.

That and I should probably offer a disclaimer that these are just subjective opinions, and not really educated facts about how marketing works, and that I might be a Drox Agent here to start an uprising.

This part makes me smile for some reason.

Glad to see your working on a new title. Looking forward to it. I've been following Soldak for a while now, playing just about every title and will totally be playing this on release too. Have had fun with all your games so far. Good Luck!
