    Soon we'll be announcing a program we don't have a name for! We have lots of ideas but nothing that has really gained traction.

    A key feature of the Planetary Annihilation platform will be centered around User Generated Content. The engine will support anything from simple unit skins and models to total conversions (TC), new game modes, etc. Similar to the Steam Workshop, we will have a program for modders and content creators to submit their work for inclusion in the game store. Really awesome mods will be included in the game as stuff you can buy and the creators make money on the sale. (Don't worry, we're not talking about funny hats and pay to win bs).

    What should we call this program? The working name has been the "Mod Market." But we're looking for something better. Can you help?

    My favorite internal idea so far is Uber Foundry or just the Foundry.

    I'm not good at naming anything, however:

    Nebula - the birth place of celestial objects, would be an obvious word to use as part of the name?

    I like the words Blueprint, Bay, Construct, Experiment, but I think Foundry and Forge is a bit too "low-tech", and doesn't fit in the PA setting.

    I really like the Idea of Foundry, it's gives the image of some dark, wonderful place where metal it twisted and hammered into incredible War Machines.......

    Forge is a runner up, but has more of a medieval feel to it.

    Planetary Workbench

    you can relate to it easily because its still a planetary game. it is a place where you have made things like you would do on a workbench. several games such as Minecraft and Terraria and other survival crafting games have used workbench and it seems fitting that this word be included.
    This is like saying that you are using the planet as your work bench or the work bench is the size of a planet on which you create your projects.

    Planetary Anvil

    This also works because of the same idea that you are creating items or ideas or things on.
    Anvils were used to create the best metal worked tools.
    This anvil might even be a giant planet.

    The 2 best ideas that I came up with I hope you see the side of awesome that I do

    I wouldn't name it anything tied to PA. Pretty sure this tool is meant to be scale beyond just PA.

    You can't unless you're Cryptic.

    What, the studio? There's no way they have exclusive rights to the word 'foundry'

    Unfortunately "the Foundry" is already taken. Cryptic uses it for all their Player-made content-aggregators these days.

    How about The Eternal-War Foundry?

    Foundry sounds overly similar to Halo's Forge to me, but then will there be much of a crossover between Halo and PA players?

    Probz not.

    Star-Forge sounds interesting but we're not making stars

    The Uber Foundry on the other hand... we know whose foundry it is!

    Uber-Forge? Sounds bretty gud actually.

    Uber-Nexus? Think those mod-nexus guys might have a word to say about that.
