Game name has been chosen

After several weeks of trying to come up with a good name for the game, we finally decided not to learn from previous experiences and pick a name that's already kind of in use by a huge existing franchise.
After playing around with names like "Elight", "Wind Commander", and "Steve Online", we finally settled on the very catchy name "Mars Effect".

Wind Commander.

Yeah, the Minecraft guy got sued because his new game's name is too similar to Elder Scrolls. So that's the joke here.

it does seem like he wants to make a privateer/firefly like game though.. but I doubt it will be called mars effect
