Poll - What's In A Name? (Patreon)

Good news! I started working on the Childhood Friend Got Buff game using Ren'Py! This will result in a few VERY basic builds to start out with, until I get comfortable with all the functions and all the coding. All the people saying Ren'Py is very user-friendly are bold-faced liars! But that's a discussion for another day...

Today, I have gathered you for another concern of mine. I'm really losing my mind trying to come up with a good name for the Childhood Friend game.

As I shared earlier last year, I grew increasingly uncomfortable having the word 'childhood' in the title of an adult game, even though its usage is pretty clear from the context. Am I too paranoid? I'm losing sight of it.

To recap for those who just joined us : I am planning to make my next big game a romantic comedy centered around a main character meeting a long-lost childhood friend who became a super hot and bossy muscular goth girl during the years they grew apart.

So, here are a few suggestions of how I could phrase the title differently. Please vote on the ones you feel are good at communicating the idea of the game. As usual, you can vote for multiple choices, and even go as far as comment your own suggestions, or DM me if you feel more comfortable doing so. If more than one title catches your eye, let me know and perhaps we can mix them together. The following suggestions are very scattershot, after all.

To make sure you are inspired, please have this AI-generated portrait of main girl Yumi! Yeah, the name Yumi is sticking for the character, so it's most probably going to be her official name.
