i felt a while a go that i might like to change the name of this game to make it sound more professional. but, as time went on i felt that OMG! Zombies! was a great way to set the theme of the game. it's not meant to be a serious horror game, its just meant to be fun and enjoyable, and i think OMG! Zombies! is a very fun name that illistrates just that. but then again, its not the most professional title, and i could see plenty of people that judge a book by its cover and not take it as seriously as it should.

what do you guys think? Do you think we should change the name, and if so, what to, to the other one or one you guys can think up?

the titles so far are
OMG! Zombies - the original name
Undead Closure - a very good name suggested by Mr. Green, it has a nice ring to it.

Undead Closure? Nah, sounds too... emo.
OMG! Zombies sounds brilliant. Quirky and internetty.

I'll have to make a logo suitable for the default name

It will be hard to make a comical/zombie type logo but I'll give my best

Maybe give your own opinions for different names?

I'd just write out Zombies in that font/style you used on the mockups, but with OMG! scribbling in the right corner of the text. but that idea just fell out my head.

I was thinking of making it a comic book type of feel where there is a zombie on the back and a woman infront screaming "Oh My God! ZOMBIES!"

I think the title is fine. I also think that a graphics "rework" isn't necessary. They set the style and tone for the game. I agree with Dr.James. "Omg! Zombies! They's everywhere!" Has a nice playful feel to it. But hey, it's your game right?

(Eh hem, turn off blood option by any chance?)

These are very excellent examples by other people and are very informative.

I know this doesn't make one squidgen of a difference to you guys... but I've got to at least suggest it. How awful would it be to change the title to "Oh My Gosh, Zombies!" It would still be OMG! Zombies.

I'm in the minority here, but the literal translation of OMG really gets under my skin. Enough to keep me from playing such a fantastic looking game.

It's ok OMC- I understand ya.

Anyways I like the title as is. As James aformentioned it's quirky in it's own way. Tbh I think it's a fair enough name. and the Tagline "They's everywhere?!" Just sounds funny.

But IF I had to pick another name and tagline they would be more frightening. The name would be somthing like "Loose Hell" or just a simple, straight spook like "Dead" or "The Dead".

As far as taglines go, these are the best ones I came up with.

"Shut the windows; lock the doors; cock your gun."
"The cemetary empties."
"The wrong place at the way wrong time."
"Unreal- unforgiving- undead."
"There goes the door..."
"While this game will be blowing your mind, you'll be blowing the zombies'."
"Nice house; bad omens."
"It's not the weather..."

Nice tag-lines

But the name of the game will probably be "Oh My God! ZOMBIES!", which sounds pretty fine to me at the moment

haha! Goodness would be funny. I dunno, I think changing it to Gosh or Goodness almost makes it more humorous...
