Name suggestions for "Big Animal Game"

[Philo]

Hey folks

We're still brainstorming names for the new project that we're currently prototyping
It's a game where people have to start a new settlement on the back of a giant creature that walks around.
The genre will most likely be city-building, survival, simulation.
Also still trying things out with the art style. Yesterday our artist Steffi made this picture:



So I'm wondering, do you have some cool idea what we should name the game?
Some ideas we had: Titan Tribe, Wandering Village, The Hillagers, Symbiopolis, Wanderland.
Would love to hear your thoughts ^^

Maybe Terratrek? You know, because 'terra' means land/earth? and you're trekking across it? 

im terrible at names-

[flower]

This gives me whale island vibes- I am horrible at coming up with name ideas but I adore this concept 

[FawnCat]

Vauros (Village + sauros)

Saurosra

Wanra (Wandering + Terra(I like clover's idea of the word))

[CanDLinkZz]

Symbiopolis sounds interesting. where did that even come from...?

[georgie]

no. we're keeping nyoma because otherwise the nyomian name would be invalid /j

symbio = symbiotic 

polis = means 'city'

[bostonlobstah]

I like symbiopolis it’s like symbio-opolis and it sounds cool

[Spoopy]

Eartown(Earth+Town)

[Sky]

two of these are different versions of the mashed words that other people have already suggested so if you use one credit them too

Terroam (terra + roam) my personal favorite

Wanderra (wander + terra) different version of Wanra by Fawncat

Trekrra/Trekkra/Terrek (trek + terra) different version of Terratrek by Clover

[Philo]

@CanDLinkZz Symbiosis + Metropolis
It was more of a joke suggestion, but it kinda stuck around

[FawnCat]

@Philo This is off topic, kind-of, but will there be different creatures they are going to live on? Or just one creature?

[Philo]

@FawnCat For now, we're sticking with one. But let's see how the Kickstarter in Autumm/Winter goes, I think many things will become clearer then ^^
 

What kind of animal would you all like to live on most?

Hard to say. What immediately came to mind was a dragon😆 But I think that would be to complicated and I can't even start to think of the 'how you would be able to live on it?' The best would be to make animals up (mix animals) like what you did with Niche. I like the concept animal so far. I think all the animals I do like are way to small. Underwater creatures I think are out too, right? Dinosaurs are pretty cool too.

Personally I'd really like to see a Stingray
Or a whale again! But both would have their back above the water.
Or maybe something flying, like a pterodactyl
Underwater would probably need some quite different game mechanics.

YES! I was thinking of a whale too or a Giant Manta Rays (I had to google it because I thought it was a stingray's different name, It's apparently not the same. Did not know that.)

Oh~ I didn't think of a pterodactyl, that would be cool but hard to make.

[Pollytuft]

a comodo dragon could be interesting, tough personally I'd love a vombat or a platypus

[georgie]

we really are just mashing words together now huh

[Applesauce]

Terratopia - earth place

Terratropolis - earth city

Terrasupra - you can guess this one

Supra - just means above

Supratopia - a place above

Talis End

Surgo - rise

Terra Ambulo - Walking earth?

When I was trying to look up the word walking, it gives me the word for walking stick and I'm pretty sure it's wrong but heck

the translations probably aren't 100% organic. idk it's been a while

[Aether]

This isn't a name suggestion but land reefback from subnautica.

Maybe like different kinds of giant sea turtles?  

Like one can keep its back out of the water or stay in shallow water (maybe hop out onto land every now and again? but be slower on land than other land creatures?)

And maybe like one that goes deep into to the ocean? And it could have like a bubble dome around the civilization on its back so that people/creatures can breath?

But this might all be too complicated and best left in my head... 😅

[TheCatInGrey]

On The Shoulders of Giants is what comes to my mind

[BirbPolly]

How about we reverse Symbiopolis to get Metrobiosis?
