3 people so far have identified negative connotations with Cletus


The first time I read the name of this project I literally laughed out loud at your very funny play on the word "clitoris", seemingly implying that the hillbilly was a right c**t. As time has gone on I have become less and less confident that this was intentional... this is significant, because if you haven't acknowledged the association in your game with a wry smile and a wink then it gives your intended market an opening to laugh AT rather than WITH the product. This goes double for the media... in an age of indeti-kit coverage "Cletus" is a bored hack's gift. And, if your publisher is doing its job correctly, the game should be getting at least a few inches coverage based purely on its aesthetic style (not necessarily a review, you understand).



I quite like Worst Contact. But my wife reckons no-one will get it.



Make your wife a cuppa. It's a great pun but I'd never touch it with a bargepole... any problems with the word Cletus [snigger] fade in comparison to the use of "worst" in the title. Now THAT's a negative connotation waiting to happen.

A gameplay demo would be useful Anthony -- we're hardly liable to capture the essence of your game in a snappy title without a taste!
