First Draft of Gamebook

A draft of my gamebook is completed, and marine stats are being worked on. Should I change the name of it? Some one is makeing a board game with the same name.
 
How about some more information for those of us just tuning in? Whats the name you're using right now?
 
Are you joking? Or did you completely misread what he was saying? If hes saying its been released, and it wasn't very good, then he probably wasn't refering to your game, which hasn't been released, and he can't comment on.

And to my knowledge while many "Fleet Command" games exist, I haven't heard of one yet as "Wing Commander: Fleet Command." And many of those "Fleet Command" games do suck.

Perhaps I read everything wrong, but it looks like people are either jumping to conclusions or looking for something to get offended from.

Yes I was referring to: Fleet Command, the board game. Not to be confused with Wing Commander Fleet Command. When I read this post initially I hadn't seen your thread with the title of your game, I thought he was referring to the already published Fleet Command game.

At least wait until it is released before dissing my game.

Yeah, like I said in the other thread, there's a million things already named "Fleet Command." It's super common and not really a good name to use if you want to distinguish your project at all. I mean, two Wing Commander fan projects were named Fleet Command on the same day. They weren't the first, and there's plenty of computer and board games with similar names.

That's not bad. A good tip would be to avoid using words that were already used prominently in the titles of Wing Commander products. So no Fleets, Actions, Sagas, Freedoms, Secrets, or Academies for starters.

So are you saying I should rename my project from "Secret Action Fleet Saga - Academy: Operation Freedom" ? :D

So anyways...
QuailPilot, I remember those old type books (still play them every now and then) and was wondering what you had in mind for the plot?
 
Overline storyline is that your fleet goes out, then comunication gets knocked out with your headquaters somehow, so your fleet is on its own.
 
I am thinking about WC 2 or Prophecy. I finished a rough backround and the first two sections. I will need "play testers" and editors. Tell me what you think!
