Apparently not Ever heard of "MAG" for the PS3? 256 player FPS that did pretty well. (I know you're being sarcastic) I think it should be Mexpelchemy ( Mana, EXPlore and aLCHEMY. The stressed syllable is in the "pel").
That Mysticube one was really good to whoever said it. More ideas: I'm starting to not care for the award, but I just want this game to have a decent name, lol NanoHaven, Cubosity, CubeHaven, CubeRoot, ManaMountain, ManaMage, M3D (Mana 3D), ManaFields, Manalands, Ilike this: ManaHaven, PocketHaven, Cubiverse (Did I say that already?!), OmniCube, GoldenTiles, GeoMagic, TesselNations, CheMosaic, PolyTope, MagiCube, MagiTope, Magifinity, Blokube, MagiSect, Cubisect, ParaMagic
Can I make a suggestion?: I think, everybody in this thread will be a beta-tester for "Manacraft". What if you could buy a beta-tester license? This is my idea: You transfer instabuygames money in the amount of 15 Dollar with Paypal. (I think 7,50 Dollar for the beta-tester license and a 7,50 Dollar Donation to Instabuygames (this amount would be appropriate)) Then you can try the "manacraft"-beta and can give instabuygames better suggestions (i think, when you play it, you can give better suggestions as if you see it in videos or in pictures). When the game finally come out you must buy for the full game and for future updates because you just pay for the beta-tester-license. Prices are customizable, but a beta would be worth this price (at least for me). But the beta-testers agrees to give not informations out to the public. (like the sentence in Online-Surveys: "You agree to give not informations out to the public, because some of the products you see are still in development and were still secret. (I do not remember to the exact phrase)) That would give more feeling of a community-shaped game, and this would be very cool. Sorry if this suggestion is totally ridiculous, but it´s late here in germany (and i´m tired) and the idea made me think. What do you think about this idea? I think this concept was already in use (here at toucharcade.com). I think it was for the game "Forgotten Memories". Instabuygames can modify this concept when they are interested (my concept is just a quick idea).
What's the guess on the ending file size? ...or are you not nearly far enough into development to give an estimate?
Wow, I love all the name ideas. Good work everyone! Here's a couple names I came up with but I think they might not be as good as most of the names already presented or even the original name ManaCraft. (That's going to be tough to beat.) -Cubicomm and Cubic Elements
I really love all the name suggestions guys! I especially like ManaCube, ManaCast, MagicMiner and MineCast to name a few. I like the suggestion but unfortunately that won't help us much. There are only two of us at Instabuy Games. We both have day jobs and work on Manacraft in our spare time. The donation money may help a bit with marketing but if you guys really want to help us out just spread the word and hopefully the game will go viral!
Does the name have to a two syllable word including mana, craft, mine etc? Is a simple name better? Suggestions : -Universe -Infinate -Emplore -Canyon* -Entrance -Portal* -Empire -Mana * -- favourites
Thanks for the morale, instabuy. I love developers like you. More people have to be humble with the 10 fans they have before they move on to 10,000 fans. Did I say MajiCube / MagiCube? Manaxis, Magima, Managic, M.I.N.E. (Mine Into the Never Ending) , D.I.G. (Delve Into Glory), UltiMana, iMagiNation I like this: FaciNation, ManaPlulate, Imagic (like IMAGination), ParaMana, CubiJade, CaptiCube, NumiNation, ArcCane (Geometric, AND a magic word), Cubique (French twist), Qube (Looks cool), MetaCube, MetaQube, GeoCult, GeoMage, HolyCube, CubiJinx
That would've been a good idea to discuss, but we're not allowed to ask to be beta testers/discuss future beta tester-dom on the forums
OMG my finger hurts . Now i have worked 3 hours to make this Manacraft-Facebook-Group: http://www.facebook.com/home.php?sk=group_158490550881525#!/home.php?sk=group_158490550881525 For everyone who doesn´t have a Facebook-Account, here is the whole text: http://ul.to/ycshrik4 (sorry that i can´t copy it to this thread but the text is too long ((10971 characters) Please tell me your opinion (especially Instabuygames ) and join this group when you have a account on facebook. Now i´m going to bed and then i open the same group on another social network.
Here is the text for everyone who is not on facebook and did no want to download the text (In fear of a virus, trojan or some other reasons): Its just the english part because with the german part this text would be too long. (character-limitation, as I have already mentioned above)
^^+1 That's a pretty good introduction to Manacraft and I didn't see those pictures before so it's also helpful to the thread readers ok I ran out of happy smilies but yeah +1
I think its a great idea! But the text appears as a jumble on facebook for me (no spacing). It looks great here though!
Thanks for the reply. That what you see is just a post which says that i have change the group description. (This is what he show as jumble) When you go to the group-page then you have to click the top right (besides "Members (9)"). That´s a picture what i mean: Then it shows you the right group description.
