South Park Digital on naming their TD game |
Ó
It may not sound like much, but anyone who's ever gone through name
studies before would find that the simple task of coming up with a name
is actually quite a handful. Back at the Comic-Con, South Park
Digital's Chris Brion tells his story and how the South Park TD game
was named the way we know it now - South Park Let's Go Tower Defense Play! Article contains language unsuitable for minors.
The first working title was "South Park: Suck My Balls." It was very South Park, very catchy, and very Cartman. Unfortunately, it was definitely not Microsoft. "...it was probably two months when Microsoft asked us to change it," Brion said. Questions arose about Xbox Live Marketplace censoring. Would we just censor the U-C-K (S***)? Or if we censored the whole thing people might think it was F*ck My Balls. We ended up coming up with a name we felt was much improved."
The second came after dropping the sucks and the f*cks from the original title. It read, plainly and simply: South Park: Snowballing. "That one lasted about two or three weeks and went through a couple of levels before somebody finally said, "Wait a minute," explained Brion. Baru Baru Suki Suki was next in line, but it got scratched out of the list for obvious reasons.
With so much veto-usage, censorship, and too many people involved with the name, you are likely to end up with a completely wholesome but terrible name. South Park Let's Go Tower Defense Play? That's only excusable if you're Nippon Ichi (Read: Can I Really Be The Hero?). Why they couldn't go with just South Park TD or something is beyond me.
