Brainstorming Name Ideas for My Next Project

[TheChickenLord]

I'm in the beginning of making a new Wad, but I'm at a loss of what to call the project.

 

The theming of the wad is "Mechanical, Midwest, Hellscape", if that helps any.

If anyone has any suggestions I'd gladly like to hear them!

'Mechanical Midwest Hellscape' sounds pretty great - I'm not even trolling. It is kind of classy.

Unironically I love this name and if the WAD were done well I would probably play it a ton, probably with something like High Noon Drifter in ZDoom

I only have one other piece of material on the site, so I hope I'll deliver on the quality of this WAD. Still learning level design and all that.

I’m currently at work but when I get home I’ll definitely have to check out your other content :) good luck on the project and I hope you have fun mapping!

Mechanical Midwest Mayhem. Or murderfest, just got to keep that alliteration.

Just like people said "Mechanical Midwest Hellscape" is a good name. So Grungy

[xScavengerWolfx]

I got a couple, you can either use "The land of hell, machines and rednecks" (no offense to people that live in the midwest). or "Hell machines in the midwest". or "Showdown in the mechanical midwest hell".

 

Hope this helps a little.

How about
"Nebraska"
Because Nebraska is already a Mechanical Hellscape in the Midwest.

For real, I like it the best out of all of the suggestions here. It's relatively concise, and a lot more descriptive than most of the other titles suggested. It sounds like something that would catch my attention.

I've been thinking about various suggestions, but none of them could beat "Mechanical Midwest Hellscape", honestly.

You know, I had 'Cyberland' in mind, but really 'Mechanical Midwest Hellscape' takes the whole cake of them all

Overheat,

Mechanical parts can overhit, hell is hot and the midwest is hot.

Mechanical Midwest Hellscape slaps. Could even get a sequel called Natural New England Nihility.

Portal to Hell

 

Maybe a Half-Life styled map, filled with computers and tekwall, set in hell. HL takes place in New Mexico.

If I may insert this from Wikipedia

 

The word Midwest has been in common use since the late 19th century. Other names for the area are no longer used. These names include the "Northwest" or "Old Northwest", "Mid-America," or "the Heartland".

 

So in that case, I have two more I would like to throw into the ring

Mid-America Massacre 

The Heartland Hellhole

Junk

 

 

if you think about stuff like junkies, junk food, and junkyards, you've got the main themes covered. And it's a snappy four-letter word, just like, say, "Doom".
