Title: [COMMUNITY] Version name for 0.6
Post by: Mordaan on November 03, 2013, 05:00:30 pm: [COMMUNITY] Version name for 0.6

Yes, it was announced at the Meet the Devs earlier today. Version 0.6 is coming!! It should be a few weeks away (pending any issues, as usual). So what we need is a version name for it. Can you come up with one?

Consider the previous names. What we're looking for is the next in the progression.

0.1 - Atom Blue
0.2 - Molecular Blue
0.3 - Crystal Blue
0.4 - Steel Blue
0.5 - Arcane Chrysalis
0.6 - ??

So we've had atom, molecule, crystal, steel, and now chrysalis (a container where a worm transforms into a butterfly). What's next?

Blue butterfly? Please note the nice alliteration... ;)

(a container where a worm transforms into a butterfly).

The way you describe that makes me laugh. Makes it sound like a box you can buy. And I think caterpillar would be better than worm.

Arcane Metamorphosis

I like the idea of using Azure for the next version.

Azure Prism
Aqua Azure (sounds like a water brand)
Azure Elixir
Azure Blue

Post by: LigH on November 04, 2013, 03:53:10 am: I wondered if I could suggest the Xerces Blue (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xerces_Blue); but it is an extinct species, that would be no good karma... :whistling:

How about the Adonis Blue (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adonis_Blue)? Or the Morpho (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morpho)? That would also be close to:

Arcane Metamorphosis

Let's combine them, somehow ... "Arcane Morpho"?

Post by: Volki on November 04, 2013, 01:56:40 pm: I was thinking Arcane Metamorphosis. But I don't see why releases have to have names, so I prefer not to suggest anything.

Or alternatively Tomato Blue.

The word "geode" leaves a nice visual image in the mind. If you word it so that this geode contains magic or energy (perhaps from the crystal above or below), then you have a more vibrant image and you fulfill the idea of it being a container that houses something alive or energetic too.

Maybe Arcane Geode, Infused Geode, Luminous Geode ... ?
