Use an exclamation point in the name of your game?!?!?!? :-D

I’m making, you know, one of those wacky games, where an exclamation point in the title would probably be appropriate. What’s your opinion on whether to do that or not?

Most people searching for the game won’t put the “!” in their search, but I don’t know if that’s worth thinking about. I don’t know if there’s a list of things to consider, when branding something with a title.

My first game was called “Sumo!” and a search for “sumo” would find it. So you’re probably OK to call it whatever.

also since recently you can tag it, so just add a tag that also contains the important part for example.

When trying to use the !, I got the same error that this person did:

http://www.iphonedevsdk.com/forum/iphone-sdk-development/22260-where-do-you-change-cfbundleidentifier.html

Somehow the ! is getting turned into a _

Can anyone give me advice on how to get the ! to show up on the Home screen? As it is, I can’t get it to build.

I think you are confusing the bundle name with the bundle display name. The bundle name cannot have characters like ! or spaces in it. The bundle display name can. When you are setting up your app, set the bundle identifier to not have the !. It would be something like:

com.companyName.myApp

Then set a key in Info.plist that sets your bundle display name to something like:

My App!

I generally just hit command-B in Unity ad have that be the end of it. I don’t really have any good grasp of Xcode building. I got the ! to show up by hard-coding the “Bundle identifier” before building, but I don’t know how to get it to work while still using ${PRODUCT_NAME:identifier}

I only used it in the display name…

Amoebaz!
