We’ll be releasing Monster Truck Racing - Extreme Offroad soon, but I’ve had some people tell me the name is crap, or too long-winded.
There is also another Monster Truck game out there, called Monster Truck Minis - Extreme Offroad, which sounds way too similar.
So I was thinking of an alternative… since it’s arena racing, I was thinking of ‘Monster Truck Racing Arenas’, although I don’t even know now
Please could you vote, or if you have some good ideas for a name, please post them.
Looks like it’s winning in your poll. “Some people” calling the name crap is par for the course. What do you think the trolls in the Greenlight forum would say? Probably worse…
It’s “Monster Minis Extreme Off-Road” to be clear. We had the copyright registered with the USTPO in April of 2004. Your name is similar to ours (we thought so too when we first spotted it) but it’s not uncommon when generic words are used, and every word in your name is fairly generic. That’s not a bad thing though. If you Google “Monster Minis” without the rest you’ll find a “Monster Mini Golf”, A build manufacturer with the same name (“Monster Minis”) in Canada, and recently a group of short films named “Monster Minis”. So you see how easy it is to have namesakes.
Well I voted for the arena thing just now, but since you’ve been branding on Greenlight since the first few days and the poll shows your current name is preferred by a majority, maybe you should just stick with it.
Yeah, too much ‘monster’ and ‘extreme offroad’ out there, that’s why I was thinking of changing it.
Its too late now though. I’ve tried to get some new logos done but they always dissapoint, and my budget is shot.
