Could do with some dev input here.

Going to rename most of my projects before I start them up again just for some consistency amongst everything so...

Because I name my projects internally as a different tree for each milestone (1.0 is maple, 2.,0 is pine etc) I'm going to have my other stuff follow a tree related naming scheme, first up is my game engine/framework...

It's currently called the 'Mod Engine' but I have 3 idea's and want to know people opinions

- Woodsman Engine
- Lumberjack Engine
- Lumber Engine

Which is best do you think or can anyone think of any better ideas? :-3

question

naming

    I like lumberjack better. Also it goes well with your shirt

    I vote for lumberjack.
    Lumber engine doesn’t sound right.

    @C0D4 agreed. Lumber engine sounds either slow and lumbering in or like it runs off wood. Lumberjack engine sounds hardworking.

    Sounds similar to Amazon Lumberyard though (though that is also a horrible name for an engine, so unwieldy).

    I vote for Lumberjack too (ah, Age of Empires memories).

    Suggestions:
    Arboreal
    Conifer
    Alpine (though that's already a Linux distro)

    @RememberMe Yeah I realised that after I thought of it, and I might use some of the names for version milestones after Pine.

    Was just thinking something tree related because of my internal naming scheme

    Maple, Pine, how about Aspen next? Or Oak? Elm-gine-eous Engine? Alternatively I'd also vote for Lumberjack.. just that a profession seems to be an oddball when put next to tree types 😕

    What about Chainsaw?

    @joycestick wanted to say the same. Somehow I think 'Chainsaw Engine' sounds the best

    @host127001 It’s the fact that a chainsaw is/has an engine. That sort of consistency is important to me.

    @joycestick I'm in the middle about that but I agree it makes sense, definitely a valid option

    @lxmcf Yeah, sorry to throw a new option in when you didn’t ask for one. To answer your original question, I’d vote for Lumberjack.

    @joycestick @host127001 it completely demolishes the previous releases in terms of features!! 😁
