The most important survey since the creation of Extra Life
Added 2022-10-25 14:07:56 +0000 UTCWhen I had the idea for this project, it was called "The Ascent", it was about a young man who was tired of life and was deciding if he was going to give up and kill himself or take his life back.
He had two roads, the first was to forget all those who had hurt him and become better, the second was a vengeful crusade to make all those who had caused him harm pay.
"The Ascent" was the prototype of Extra Life.
In the end, during the writing process, the scenario was reworked several times and the title was temporarily changed to Extra Life, which represented the second chance that the protagonist had.
If the game had been accepted by Steam from the beginning I would not be writing to you today. But to be published on Steam Extra Life has to change its name.
If the game is finally accepted by Steam the name will be final to be consistent with all existing versions, there will not be a Steam version with a different name and Patreon version with the old name. And if Steam refuses, we will keep Extra Life.
Please help me to choose what is best for this project, I have narrowed it down to two choices (and don't tell me about widthwise, it's just a joke).
The first proposal is :
"How to get Isekaised" is related to the book that Asami reads on the park bench at the beginning of the game, the title has no real relationship with the main plot (yet) but I find this title funny.
The second proposal is :
"Goodbye Eternity" is related to the main plot, the title has a meaning that will be explained in the game (if you make the right choices), and this title is more serious.
What do you think about all this? Don't hesitate to give me your opinion in the comments, this poll is important, be numerous to vote.

I think we could think some more fitting titles beside the two. If there's enough time to change it before proposing it to Steam

2022-10-27 18:15:35 +0000 UTCThe problem is that there's already an adult game called Second Chance. Though I don't know if it's on Steam.

2022-10-27 11:19:44 +0000 UTCWhy not something like "Life's Replay", or sumn idk. Goodbye eternity sounds kinda too serious, unless plot catches up in the future.

2022-10-26 00:36:05 +0000 UTCsame not a fan of either however your suggestion of "second chance" is amazing I think it should be that.

2022-10-26 00:08:24 +0000 UTC"How to Get Isekai'ed" just sounds like a shotty parody of "How to Save a Life" by The Fray lmfao. So naturally, the obvious choice
2022-10-25 19:50:31 +0000 UTCName it "Extra Life: Re", lol Or "Second Life". or something else, that's not exactly "Extra Life"

2022-10-25 19:03:39 +0000 UTCBecause I already tried to submit extra life on steam and the game was banned, I am not allowed to submit the game under this name anymore

2022-10-25 18:11:48 +0000 UTCwhy extra life have to change is name if steam say yes?

2022-10-25 18:05:02 +0000 UTCI do not really like them both, so I have chosen the lesser evil.
Zynicus
2022-10-25 16:55:04 +0000 UTCWhat about, idk, "My Second Chance"? Because both titles do not fit the game, in my opinion.
Nou Kolit
2022-10-25 16:15:59 +0000 UTCAlso, How to get Isekaised is incorrect. The protagonist was not reborn in the new world, he regressed into the past. It's called a regressor. A title with Isekaised might just confuse people who go for one thing and get another

2022-10-25 16:13:55 +0000 UTCI prefer Goodbye Eternity, if we had to drop Extra Life.
Puddles
2022-10-25 15:27:29 +0000 UTCNot a fan of either name, Goodbye Eternity being the slightly better one, but I think something like ‘Second Chance’ would work
2022-10-25 14:53:16 +0000 UTCYes and as I said on the discord, if I had been alone to choose I would have used this title

2022-10-25 14:51:23 +0000 UTCIts more like a private joke
RNGeusEX
2022-10-25 14:50:33 +0000 UTCHow to get Isekaised would work as now you as the MC are making yourselfthe center of many peoples lives, even though you arent in a new world
