Hi folks!

I'm starting a small game company with our first title in development. We focus in casual games for facebook.
We have came up with two potential company names:

Biscuitsoft
Playattic

Which one do you prefer?
Cheers!

These forums let you put polls into your posts.

Biscuitsoft is good, if you can get a funny logo made.

I think sticking soft on the end of stuff is kind of cheesy for software companies. It makes a unique idea more generic imo. Even if your official title was Biscuit Software, I would just refer to myself as Biscuit.

I kind of agree with Way2Lazy2Care. (And I just found out that his username is oddly annoying to type.)

If you insist on going with the "Biscuit Soft", then at switch it to Soft Biscuit. But Biscuit Studios/Interactive/Entertainment would also work nicely. Assuming no one has used it before. Double check things like that.

It personally annoys me when one person or a small group of independent, mostly unprofessional people go by a name like "X Studios". To me, it's misleading and dishonest, and smacks of little kids pretending to be part of the industry. I don't know if other people feel that way or not -- it could just me me.

In a lot of cases even "X Interactive" or "X Entertainment", while not misleading per se, seems.... at best, generous.

I'd rather you have no name and show me your game.

Didn't know about the polls, I've updated the post so you can properly vote.
I've added the Soft Biscuit option as well. Thanks for voting!

Soft Biscuit? Who would want that?
Might as well be Wet Sock, Alc-Free Beer or Tasteless steak.

Also, Attic sort of reminds me of Attic Entertainment, the producers for Realms of Arkania -series and Herrscher der meere.

Biscuitsoft sounds good, though!

I don't like any of the alternatives. Why the obsession with biscuits? It's neither catchy nor funny, in neither sound nor meaning - but that's what it needs for people to remember your company and associate your team with your games.

I quite like the Wet-Sock suggested by SuperVGA,

Wet-Sock Studios has a nice ring,

I know it wasn't one of the options but ah well....................

I voted for Soft Biscuit because Play Attic sounds like your games are ancient (attics remind me of old shit) and I just hate Soft at the end of names. Plus, Soft Biscuit sounds funny.
PS. (It kinda got a double-meaning)

Change it to Limp Biscuit and sell erectile disfunction medication via e-mail broadcast.

EDIT: but seriously, totally agree with Way2Lazy, just shorten it to "Biscuit" or "Team Biscuit" or something if it ain't taken.
