Need help naming a mod.

Post » Mon Aug 29, 2011 9:35 pm

Hey everyone,

I once again come before you seeking help naming my next quest mod for Fallout: New Vegas. You guys helped me decide 6 months ago with Deimos, and provided very helpful feedback.

This time it's between 3 names, all very similiar.

Your choices are:

The Atlas Project
The Atlas Program
Project Atlas

Now, I don't want to give away much, but the mod is about a computer program called 'Atlas'. So, it could be 'The Atlas Project', or 'Project Atlas', as in what the government codenamed the project to work on the computer program. Or, it could be 'The Atlas Program' referring to the actual computer program itself. I originally wanted to do Program, since everyone says Project is overused, but honestly I think Project may just sound better.

What do you guys think? Go with good old 'Project' (And if so, what form of it), or try something new with 'Program'. I do have a Fallout 3 mod called Project Genesis, so Project Atlas may either sound uncreative and too similiar, or cool and almost like a sequel.

As always, thanks for your input! (Even if you comment, please still vote!)

The Atlas Project really jumped out at me over the other 2.

Project Atlas. Except that one and The Atlas project sound like band names. The atlas program is the only one that sounds like a "nerdy" type of thing, but it sounds lame...

Seeing as how the other one is called Project Genesis, i'd call it Project Atlas. Keeping a consistent format, especially in mod titles will reinforce your name in the Fallout modding community.

Except that this has nothing to do with Bioshock.

Yeah, keeping them consistant would probably be a good thing.

I don't know anything about Fallout, but speaking from the perspective of a story writer, I would personally go with an option you didn't provide, which is simply: "Atlas"

EDIT: I'm sorry, I missed the part about your other mod. In that regard, I would also agree that keeping the same naming convention would be a better choice, so now I voted: "Project Atlas"
