    As a non-French speaker, I can second this worry.

    Ok, let's start wrapping the title up. Since we made a lot of changes to the story last week, I feel like we need a couple more days in case somebody wants to propose new titles based on the revised story.

    You can find the story here. (as usual)

    Now, reading that, is there a new title idea you'd like to propose instead?
    Also always keep in mind that this is a vertical slice, but the title might totally be based on "the full game" (i.e. doesn't need to reference the facts that happen in this game demo).

    I'll give it until Thursday, then we'll lock the thread and call for a round of Likes on all titles that you like (and you can do that right now if you want), and then finally vote on the ones that got the most Likes, so by next week we'll have the title. Sound good?

    (now I also want to propose a couple of titles)

    A Pig with a Dream

    I know this one seems simple but I think it really captures the spirit of the pig. He has journeyed across the ocean, he has fought with creatures, he has battled against stereotypes of pigs, because its his dream to be the master chef.

    From Manhattan to Mahouza: Master Pig Chef's Journey

    I feel the backstory to our pig may be that he is a 4-star chef in Manhattan but he realizes that he wants to get back to his island roots, where he was born, and understand his native cuisine.

    The Flavors of the [Something] Adventure : Hamlet the Pig's Journey

    I think this one because this is an action adventure game and the Player uses different Ingredients to proceed his journey. Something above can be replaced with any other word that suits it.

    The following things come to mind with a title that ambiguous:
    • Slang for "do it quickly"/"go fast"
    • Adventure of slicing through the jungle
    • If cooking is involved, a lot of blades will be used
    ...
    ...

    At first I thought the ambiguity would be bad and make it hard to explain what the game is, but at the same time, it can totally be all 3 of those things...

    Fryland Adventure

    Which would imply the island to be named after the Fry King of course...

    Remember that what we’re creating is only a vertical slice aka small demo of one area in a fuller game. Could be a nice chapter name for the full game for sure.

    To be fair the sequels of Monkey Island don't (or only partly) reside on Monkey Island too ;)

    But sure it could also be the name of the chapter and/or the island

    While my initial reaction was "we don't know if this is the beginning, end, or somewhere in the middle island," I see your point and now think we should put an 's' on the end to refer to multiple islands in the area. :)

    Not to mention that if you wanted to you could also play with "Chop Sooie"

    Chop Sooey/Souey/etc have already been suggested as well. My personal favorite for that would be this:

    Chop Sooey: Lost and Ground

    Is there a good way to pull out all the entries and potentially sort them by the frontrunners? I feel like there are some solid ones that kind of got lost in pages 2 through 4 because of the nature of forums. I feel like forum voting is fine for the initial push, but finalizing it maybe we want to try some sort of official poll?

    That was the original plan, get one last go through on votes and pick the top 10-15 for an official poll. If you scroll back a bit, you'll see around page 3/4 I already took the liberty of doing the counting, which up to that point was mostly titles for the old story, so my guess is Ciro and/or team will go through it again today after this thread is closed to make the official poll.

    I know they don't have a monopoly on the name, but when I first read this, all I could think of was the Harlem Globetrotters.

    Are we good to close the thread and get another round of votes in so we can start the official poll on Monday, or is the weekend not a good time?

    I originally wanted to announce the title on the livestream that happens on Tuesday, but it's too close now and I want to give people the chance to vote on the poll that we will produce the final title.

    So yes, let's lock the thread, and move to phase 2: Please cast your preference using this form.
    I have collected in the form all titles proposed that have 1 Like or more, so we can reasonably say that it's a good photograph of what people like. They are also randomised in the form, so chronological order doesn't matter.
    You can vote multiple titles, and the ones voted the most will make it to phase 3.

    I will close the form on Tuesday and launch phase 3: a new, waaay shorter poll which will create the final preference.
    If we see an overwhelming voting for one title (or one type of title) we might not need to go to phase 3.

    This is it. We shortlisted 6 titles that were the ones who collected more votes in the first round, and now it's the...

    - Final round of voting!! -

    Update: 125 votes so far!! The poll is still open, and while we do have a title in 1st place, but not by a huuuge margin, so any vote will have an impact!

    So as we announced yesterday, the title of the game is "Chop Chop"!

    Nice choice, everyone!
