Invent a name for this project

Invent a name for this project. Note that the project name may not be necessarily user facing. Developers and publishers will be able to fork our work and make their owns spin offs and releases under different release names.

Open Generals, with the intentional OG acronym, crossed my mind first.

Is "Generals" and/or "Zero Hour" copyright of EA? If so it might be worth considering names that are more..general.

[xezon]

Yes the original names are property of EA. But what we can say is ProductX for C&C Generals Zero Hour, then refer to the original game as its requirement.

[tintinhamans]

I'm not sure on this actually. The trademark is with "Command and Conquer" in it, are we sure we cannot use the other elements somehow?

[OmniBlade]

OpenGenZ? W3DHub guys have gone with OpenW3D, so I feel I'm already loosing the battle against Open%X% naming conventions. I also did a which google for the term and didn't get any conflicting hits.

Because everything will be super in this game.

[JohnNtirintis]

Renaissance, Revival, and Rebirth were the first words that came to mind, because now the game can truly come back to life through the community.

[m1cr0man]

I'm trying to draw inspiration from units in the game. A few stick out as good options, based on the meaning or way the unit's lines can be mixed to refer to the project:

Paladin: "Polished and Ready", "You can depend on it"
Avenger: No particular quote, but the name is appropriate. Feels like we are "avenging" the game by maintaining this repo.
Aurora: It's fast and sleek, just like this code base will be. For those without the context, it sounds like a generally nice name too.
Battlemaster: "We are invincible!" (Well, the code base is). Like Aurora, even without the context it sounds like an appropriate RTS engine name.

That's all I can think of for now.

[xezon]

Drawing inspiration from ingame content is exactly in the spirit of this organization, hence the name "The Super Hackers" :-)

[xezon]

"Super Lotus" - queen of the Super Hackers :D

Foxglove.
Because it's a cool plant (and cool-sounding name.)

0thHour or "Zero-thHour."
Could be a thing.

GeneSys. Portmanteau of "Generals" and "System." It's also a time reference.

[yamenarhim]

Maybe try something that represent how this code is special from the different codes that will build on this code since the project won't change the files.
so maybe "Core"? or maybe RootZeroHour?
this will also serve functional since there will be a lot of projects built on top of it and people will get confused of what is the original "Root" of the code.

also Thyme is pretty good.

Command & Conquer Generals: Super Patch

[MarcosV2020]

Command & Conquer Generals: New Hour

1 - It is so simple that people will easily understand that it is not about the OG version.
2 - Direct reference to original masterpiece.
3 - "New" word has few letters, pretty much as "Zero" had.
4 - "New" word is a symbol of something that players have not experienced yet, even though they are familiar with OG.
5 - Players will be able to reference the project using acronyms, as they usually do with OG. ZH~NH

Naming a project that big might sound easy, but it is not. It is quite a hard line between OG and new polished version of the game. We have to respect this, also find a way to connect the past, present and future of ZH in a simple words that makes sense for Generals: ZH Universe.

[xezon]

We got word from Hyper that we should not use the franchise names for community works. So anything that starts with "Command and Conquer" or "Generals" is off the table.

What we can do is "Product Name" for Command & Conquer Generals Zero Hour

Unfortunately, that is a problem. Well, at least we can name new project. A good way to organize this creative process is using keywords.

What ZH is about?
War, Resource Managment, Diplomacy, Execution, Strategy, Dominance, Time Managment, Structure, Militarism, etc.

What ZH represents for us?
Nostalgia, Mystery (you never expect what will happen during the match), Learning Curve Cycle, Chaotic Fun.

[ElTioRata]

Super Delta, Super Exe, Super Raptor (since the patch repository is also referred as Super Aurora).

[MarcosV2020]

@OrangeIsALie recommendation was on point for me.
ZH:X - Zero Hour: Phoenix

Phoenix represents power, resurrection, redemption, dominance with fits perfectly with both: past ZH and current one. It also leads to a amazing future while fire represents luminance, clarity on a dark path.

X are good acronym which connects directly with the main ZH, the penultimate letter of alphabet , are on "mid" between start and last letter representing past, present and future and a end cycle.

Project Phoenix sounds perfect for me.
