"Wobbledogs" definitely has more of a Swumble's Big Jumble energy though
big agree tbh
Y axis: Empoisoned or Swumble’s Big Jumble X axis: Menus or Parkour
I think we are moving past the outdated genre system and finally finding a way to classify games properly
???
In trms of the vibe that the title gives off, I guess. First category is a fairly serious-sounding, usually 1 word title, and the second category seems to be a grab-bag of silly titles and titles where the first word is "______'s"
Oh ok ty
I feel like this isn't exclusive to indie games.
Empoisoned games: Forespoken, Bloodborne, Metal Gear Rising Revengance
Swumbles Big Jumble games: Assassin's Creed (plus subtitle), John Madden Football (and other similarly titled sports games), any legend of zelda game.
The Swumbles Big Jumble naming scheme can probably be traced to ZX Spectrum games coded by 15-year-olds in northern England in 1983 or so
Even earlier, Colossal Cave Adventure from 1975 is the earliest one I can think of.
Likewise Dungeon from the same year might be the earliest Empoisoned
EDIT: Nah, Pong predates Dungeon.
One of the first arcade games (1971) was Computer Space. Kinda feels halfway between the two, so that's fun.
EDIT 2: Think I found the earliest Jumble's Big Bumble: Hunt The Wumpus, first distributed in May of 1973
Was it Yahtzee? Sounds like something he would come up with.
you might be right?
I appreciate the name strudel-fatpaws
Idgi -- is it saying that every game is either named "X" or "Y's X"?
