Hi gamedevvers! :) As you may or may not know, there is currently a collaborative game being designed in the writing forum by a handful of gamedev members (including me :) ). This game is going to be a RPG/adventure hybrid with dating sim elements. Because this is a gamedev community project we want to get other members involved too. Anyone who wants to do all the work of getting caught up with the progress we've done so far can become a project staff member, and people who just want to help a little can contribute ideas in survey threads like this one, or you can make a paypal donation to wickeddelight@cox.net to help fund the project. Anyone who contributes ideas or funds will be given credit. :) So, currently we are looking for suggetions for the title of our game. Here is a brief description of the game:

The PC, a human male or female(player's choice) from about the year 2150, will mysteriously awaken along with 12 other humans in a science-fantasy world. In this world there are 3 races: one with high tehnology, one with magic, and one with spiritual powers. But there are no humans here. Do you go native as a member of one of the three races, lead the humans to found their own settlement and become the world's fourth race, or try to go home? To get anywhere you must balance ethics and strategy to solve puzzles, including the puzzles of the other characters' hearts - there are 10 NPCs you can try to make fall in love with you. There are also lots of mysteries to solve: Were is 'here'? How did you get here? Why aren't there any humans? How did the NPCs pasts form their personalities, and how can they solve their current problems? Then at the end of the game you can choose whether to play again, using what you learned the first time to try for a better ending, woo different NPCs, or just explore dfferent plot branches.
