What’s in a name?

That’s the question Mike Rose, founder of publisher No More Robots, had for the game creators of Twitter. “How did you name your game?” he asked. “Was it difficult to decide, or did it just come to you?”

Game devs: How did you name your game? Was it difficult to decide, or did it just come to you? I’d love to hear game naming stories

Playing Pokémon Go was most people’s first foray into the world of augmented reality, a type of technology that adds digital information — computer-generated characters, for instance — to an existing, real-world environment in real time, typically using a smartphone’s camera. If you thought Pokémon Go was magical, though, just wait ’til you see what ARKit can do.  Read more…
