Battlefield Heroesin Developers Blog on kasvanut yhdellä osalla. Nyt käsittelyssä on pelin nimen keksiminen ja siihen liittyvät ongelmallisuudet sekä pelin esitteleminen EA:lle. Jos kiinnostus heräsi, käy lukemassa blogi täältä.
One thing I've found that makes choosing a name too slow is including too many people in the decision making process - you end up with endless lists and endless opinions that don't get you any closer to the answer. Sometimes a dictatorship works better, or at least one person coming up with the ideas. With this in mind I spent a few days making a shortlist, and I sent it around to a few people in the studio for feedback. 'Battlefield Heroes' was an early favourite - it retained the Battlefield name, it communicated the fact that this is a game about creating, customising and leveling up your own unique war hero and it also didn't lock the game into any specific historical setting, so we could go ahead with our fictional world of the Royals and Nationals battling it out over the results of the Cycling in the Olympic games.
So after we decided that 'Battlefield Heroes' might work, we sent the name to the EA legal department for clearance and held our breath. These things can take a long time as the legal team needs to do quite stringent checks on the name to ensure nobody else is using it. After a couple of weeks of waiting, the name came back as 'OK' which was great news! Finally the development team knew what they were working on, and we could start developing logo ideas and moving forward with announcement plans for the game.
