Thoughts on the name

Oh God, Zandronum, Santorum, much difference? I'd be embarassed to say that I play "Zandronum" now.

[Reaku]

Looking at it completely, Zandronum can be very easily associated with Doom itself, it just needs to be dressed for the part. The name can be a little hard to remember but you could just call it Zan for short or what ever tickles your fancy, then it comes down to dressing it up to make it seem like Doom, that being possibly resting in a soul sphere in the center of the o, to even a few monsters around or what ever. It's not that bad of a name after thinking about it for a few hours.

The logo, it's nice, yes, but it lacks something that signifies the spirit it's trying to hold, you could possibly debate about making the logo out of different Doom textures and seeing what works, much like what was done with the original Doom splash itself. (In game being M_DOOM)

To most of those not liking the name, this is all new, give it time and eventually it'll get polished up!

I rather dislike the name, for much the same reasons as others have previously mentioned. Difficult to remember, and it evokes a more traditional "spacey" sci-fi theme, rather than the demonic, horror-based aesthetic of Doom, if that makes any sense to anyone. The space theme of the website goes in line with that. There are far worse names than Zandronum, but it could be much better in my opinion. Although, if the dev team is trying to make Zandronum different from every other Doom source port, then the name may help it stand out, since it sounds strange. Then again, it starts with a Z, just like ZDoom and ZDaemon, so that idea gets tempered a bit.

Don't forget that in DooM 1 you are on Mars so the space theme could fit.

It's Phobos, one of Mars' moons. You are on Mars only in Doom 3/RoE.

And the space theme of Zandronum is not at all Phobos.

Id like it if it was shorter, easier to pronounce and had a bigger\alternative logo beside the icon for the .exe.
Zandronum sounds more like a megawad than a port, but I like the progress overall.

I'm also messing with a 256x256 one for Mac/etc

Well, to be honestly, i loved the "Zandronum" name thingy. Because the name fits with the theme (Space).
And if we already choosed the name, why people keep saying "...this name is a lame"? But meh...My opinion. Nice job all Gm's and whatever that i need to obey to don't get banned ;D.

[infurnus]

I made this thread, so it's kind of okay to vent.
The name guarantees relevant Google results, though.

The zarking name has been chosen already, deal. It takes real zarkwad to forget a name like Zandronum...

Now, if we could just agree on a motherzarking nick-name for this zarker we'd have it made.

Actually I can suggest some cool name DoomCult. It sounds like Skulltag, it refers to doom as a game, doom itself is kind of a cult game. Community under name DoomCult sounds like a sect (a cult). Doom has religous symbols (pentagram, demons). Heretic and Hexen as well. So we are coming to the word cult, again.

What do you think guys :)

Well, the name really fits and look great, but, i remember a Mod saying, that "...name is already chosen, deal with it!" or something like that. But meh... if ^ is not true or they're accepting ideas, i vote for this one.

If you make the eyes half thet scrolling laser effect like robocop, you own. also, they should be a skin based on the icon (Zan), would be cool as well.
Keep up the good work, I like what I see so far.
how do one become a BETA tester?

[Nort]

Maybe rename it as "Zenor"?
Zandronum... language breaks down- say his name. Also on other languages- this causes a number of obscene associatives.
SourceTag?
CulTag?
OpenTag? (lol- fail).
