And ofc shitload people started spewing "funny" and unoriginal names in attempts to gather ratings. How pathetic.
Anyway my thoughts about name of game:
Ark of the Damned
Strangers in The Void
Pilgrims to a distant world
Wanderers among the stars

East of Earth sound nice too, but there some possibility that critics will be making shitty pans about it.

Name for ship: Salvation

Depth Sounding: Mark Twain


My thoughts floated / streamed to Mark Twain’s “Innocents Abroad” , a title that may be public DOM. enough … if not, consider the panache / élan of Vault Dweller negotiating with the ‘Samuel Clemens’ CORPORATE CLUSTER INC.
Then behoid ...
Ismaul said:
I think you should consider a title with the word "Bound" in it. Bound for a place, bound together, stuck within the bounds of the ship. Also the idea of a leap (of faith, of science). Plus a hint of the hope and excitement that was contained in the idea of a "new" world. …
But God Damn, BOUND has a resonance, a language lover’s pernicious punning, a coat of many - meanings (for all us prodical SOB's), I can never deny / refuse.

I ping / riff off Ismaul’s sound founding … with a hint for the literary, (love that Twain in these darker daze - AIN’T PC :lol:)

INNOCENTS BOUND is my suggestion.

I'm on an actual spaceship. No joke.
Someone here suggested Generation, that was pretty good.

For search engine optimisation, 10th Generation could be an option, while also evoking biblical lore and how after a few generations people inevitably fuck shit up for everyone. That's the plot of the game right there.

There are some existing titles incorporating it, but the word "dominion" can carry a religious connotation in the right context without demanding it the way "pilgrim" does. Also a good name for the ship.

Dominion's Children
Dominion's Bastards

The big naming conflicts are the card game, the strategy series "Dominions", and an old RTS "Dominion: Storm over Gift 3." Might be possible to work around with word order, e.g. Children of Dominion.


Inherit the Void
Works literally, and the reference to Inherit the Wind works both as a biblical allusion and the religious conflict embedded in the play. Only conflict I found was an album by a Finnish metal band.

I think someone ITT suggested Between Two Suns and Between Past and Future. Those are pretty good names IMO

The Biblical genealogies are sometimes called things like "The Generations of Noah." Given an important figure in the lore with a catchy name maybe "Generations of ThatGuy"? Or use the ship itself. "Generations of the Starfarer" is clunky, though.

Just call it Space Odyssey. Or Odyssey in Gray(or the ship color) to avoid some lawsuits.
Since the ship is moving away from the Earth, Redshift would be a nice name, but then there is Amazon Redshift.
Stellar Association has a nice meaning in astronomy that kinda works here, since the origin of all the people in the ship is the Earth and they are all "moving" together through space.
Anyway, an one word name would be the best, but quite hard to find.

Someone on ITS forums suggested "The Promised Land" which I rather liked... And apparently, going by the concept art it's the name of a fine establishment.
