End of 2017 Programming Contest

Who says a cross between starbound and terraria is a bad thing? Also terra I think means earth and verse could be worlds like universe but it meantions no space.

i wasn't saying a cross between starbound and terraria was a bad thing. in fact i like that idea

white the game is slightly more than a white screen fade

I've seen "hello world" tutorials with more substance, but whatever you wanna tell yourself buddy.

ive been working on finding a new name for my project because i dont really like the current name, so ive thought and came up with a random one lol, im not good at telling if things are good so ima just put it out here to see if anyone likes it: Terraverse so yeah if you think its terrible please dont shy away or lie saying its fine or you like it, tell me what you think. but if you do like it then also please tell me. if you have better ideas also please tell me.

If you take up the starbound/terraria hybrid (which I find a fantastic idea) then I am quite partial to "Terraform". If you opt instead to stick to the Terraria-clone route then I vote for "Terrarium". "Terraverse" isn't bad, either, but it somehow sounds like a rap-battle.

Dunno... celest... terra... terrarium... Celestrium...? Probably not...

That one is also cool. You could even throw in a new ore for the namesake, as it sounds like it could easily be some uber-rare mineral resource that would motivate people to mine on uncharted planets. It would also help to pull your project a bit further from the coattails of Terraria's success.

wow that exploded fast XD.

haha that is so true about the rap battle lol. So lets see here, Terrarium while being great seems like its too close to the world terraria (and is not there an item in the game called that..? i think like a glass container to store animals...?), i like Terraform too.. that ones pretty good..

Dunno... celest... terra... terrarium... Celestrium...? Probably not...

Celestrium... mmmm... i like this too.. i should maybe do a poll with the names. [poll=p297][/poll] (there we go)

Does this mean the name Ultimate Tree Puncher A-Go-Go is off the table?

FTFY

Referring to Picy’s very long message: Yes, there’s an item in the game called Terrarium, but it’s also an actual thing that’s used for reptilian pets and such irl. The game name may be based off of that but I don’t know for sure.

It is

You can only select one entry this time, so please choose wisely. Voting will end in um 2 days I guess

Personal life and website issues have kept my attention from being able to conclude the contest. Great apologies. Please expect the final results later today (6 hours).

You would have to play the song a few times before it would actually close lol.

Many apologies! The second round of voting is officially over. I have even more apologies to give: This really was dumb of me to do, but so be it. It's a good lesson for future contests.
