It turns out, Nation Builder is already taken as a board game name.

This kinda convinced me to stay with Country Architect (for now). It seems like no matter what I pick, there will be some downside, people telling me about (very valid) concerns about legibility, clarity, accuracy and whatnot.

Also, someone said there are terms such as "the architect of this or that idea, concept, big thing", that is basically synonymous with "creator". That's what I was going for anyway.

So, I think I'm choosing Infrastruction.

That would be architectcrazy.

Very good ideas and information, thank you.

[–] purple_mimosa@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Thank you so much!!!

You're right, I should have made some google poll or something, darn it. (EDIT: added non-twitter link, removed old one)

There are games such as Prison Architect (that are my inspiration in various ways), but I wouldn't bee as bold as to name mine just Architect. 😅

Another idea was Nation Builder, but that also seems too generic to me.

You're the first person to explicitly say to like my Steam page (even though I am fully aware the graphics are kind of atrocious), so thanks again. I'll keep developing this project, and see where it goes.

 

EDIT5: yolo, Infrastruction it is.

Thank you @MurrayL@lemmy.world and everyone.

Thank you for all the ideas! Shoutout to "pussy eaters republic".

EDIT: added non-twitter poll link

Since my game is not (only) about villages, but building up an entire nation, I thought of changing the title to make it more appropriate.

"Nation Architect" and "Sovereign Architect" and "Sovereign Roads" are the other ideas.

Game concept: You play as a country leader, tasked with building up a country (either immortal president, or some form of AI). You will need to plan roads and factories, then launch bidding process to see your blueprints get built. You will manage "teams", which are generated by towns at certain milestones, specialize them and buy them vehicles. Eventually, relations with other countries will come into play as well.

A single badly-planned highway bridge is enough to bankrupt you, like irl for weaker economies.

If you have other suggestions, I'd love to hear them as well.
