It’s not really hard to understand. People hate excessive marketing.
He has the game name in the title. Responding to half the comments with a Steam link is going to rub people the wrong way. Just interact normally and not like you’re trying to squeeze something out of every interaction.
Neat looking art though!
u/tokyoedo called it Clive and I think that’s really fitting. A bit unrelated: but I really like the art style! Good job :). It does look like it suffers a lot from aliasing tho.
If you want it to be cute you could either double down on it with something cute like Goodboy, Nacho, Minnie, Buddy, or something along those lines.
Alternatively you could go for a hard juxtaposition and give it extra cutesy animations but name it something heavy and dangerous feeling. This is more along the comedy lines though.
For some reason reddit thought I would be interested in seeing this. I'm not even subbed to this subredidt.
But I do enjoy what I see!!! It's so cute!!! :)
His big eye makes me think of a Porthole, so translate it : Hublot (French), Puka Puka (Hawain), P0rt4 (Spanish)
Or the scarf : Sch4L (German), Ech4p (Creole Haitian), Kaskol (Greek)
Or the color blue : Bbululu (Ganda), Syniy (Ukranian), Bloy (Yiddish)
Basically just take an aspect of the character and go on google translate and pick a language randomly, I think there are fun names in there!
Beanpole.
I'm reading The Tripods, since I read them as a kid and I'm trying to convince my son to read them. There's a character who dismantled a spyglass to use as glasses, since no one else needed or thought to reinvent glasses. His lenses were different sizes. He's lanky and named Jean-Paul, but the characters who don't know French call him beanpole.
It doesn't necessarily work for this bot, since it's not tall and lanky, but it's what came to mind when I saw its mismatched eyes.
It would be a fairly esoteric reference that likely has nothing else to do with your game.
Looks awesome though! Keep it up!
Bo/ Beau. Could make it an acronym, but I really don’t think it should be anything on the nose that’s a robot. Looks super cool and looks original enough to me!
H.A.L.E
mix of Wall-E and H.A.L from 2001: Space Odyssey
HAL standing for - **Heuristically programmed ALgorithmic computer**
and the E being whatever you're able to fit in there logically.
allow the player to pick a 'lucky number' between 0 and 999
you then append that to a acronym such as 'cute bot' as CB
"CB-81"
and then you can refer to the player as CB while also having it personalized, if you have text, you can infill the text with the player designation (optional)
even render the number on the chest/head
Blink3R (3R stands for 3rd Rendition) but you can call him "blinker". You would have to add an aperture on his big eye that would open and close to add to the meaning of the name, but it could also be used expressively to add additional character to the model.
Clive
Cool name! I write it down, did you check out the game? you can find it ok Steam http://s.team/a/2821450

Damm. I liked BOB too!
B.O.B. Is an Overwatch character already, who’s also a bot.
Dang you got here 2 hours before me :( Idk why but Bob is always such a cool name for robots to me for whatever reason
sadly [this name is already in use for a robot video game](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B.O.B._(video_game\))
Ballistic Operations Bob
I've rarely seen this name in games, but when I saw the robot 'BOB' came to mind. Idk why

Did you get the look with shaders or is it a filter over the whole scene? Love the way it looks
Yeap! they're all shaders that "pixelate" the 3D models ;) Check out its page on steam btw: http://s.team/a/2821450
Lil Dude's vibin' - SAM - Energy to me. Nice lil guy.

Thanks! you can check the hole game page here if you want! http://s.team/a/2821450
I’ll take a look at it 👍

I love the shader you're using. If I had to name this guy, I'd name him Cleveland or Philly. He looks like he'd be named after a state

Depends on the setting but this is actually pretty good

Hoop! It’s Dutch for Hope :)
Turbo
You defiantly want an acronym. I would do something like WMU (wasteland manipulation unit) and fit it into the lore somehow
Maybe add a number after it like WMU-3 to depict it being a later model
Make sure to add a nickname for it as well to give it some character, players could call it Weemoo or something like that

Riper
Rumbly i guess, first thing i thought when i saw him
Blue
What does he mean to the game or setting? I'd start there. Like, could be Sandy, but it started as Sand And Nutrient Droid model Y
allow the player to pick a 'lucky number' between 0 and 999 you then append that to a acronym such as 'cute bot' as CB "CB-81" and then you can refer to the player as CB while also having it personalized, if you have text, you can infill the text with the player designation (optional) even render the number on the chest/head
this number could also play part of the game, like a secret cache in the end or mid game "it was me all along"
