getting it started

do you think there will ever be an irish game company here?

if so what would you call it?[/quote:d6af3ee53e]

I’m sure there will be one day, what say we call it Havok???

Hi there and welcome to the forums!

According to a thread in the policy forum, there are up to 20 games companies beavering away here already. Aphra can supply the list of names I’m sure.

In terms of names, I’m kind of partial to something that’s a play on the founders name, is broad enough to cover multiple development directions, has local significance, can act as a talking point abroad and is one that people like and remember.

Hmm, wonder what that chould be…..

Peter ;)

so that is where you get meeja from, your surname….? Am I the only slow person??

I am sure I could do something with my first name..

Aphra.

Aphra

Don’t worry about it. About 70% of people get it first time and make a comment (usually positive).

The other 30% need a bit of handholding but benefit from an explaination. :rolleyes:

Be Aphraid
:D

I don’t see that working with a Paddy Smith though

Although Smithtronic Patrikz is about the only attempt I could make. Aphraid works very well though, might nick that one.

Jamie

mm, I like it…might have to change my name on the boards?! Jamie..no nicking….it is all mine..

just introducing myself by creating a topic based around getting ireland into the whole gaming world. [/quote:379548c381]

By any chance are you “wild_eyed” from boards.ie?

Well let me see – I would call it:

‘Kapooki Games’
I would set it up….. oh lets say in 2000

And I would work damn hard with a full-time team of great guys on some interesting titles……. :)
Working hard on getting published…..

Dont forget other cool names like Torc Interactive (sounds great if you are thinking of setting up in Donegal!) :)

etc. etc.
