Design Diary #012 - What is in a name? (Patreon)

This has been a long time coming and since this is an somewhat important post, this Design Diary is open to everyone. Since the end of Himeros Hotel, I decided to use Himeros Trilogy to link the games in name, since the real title of the game would be a spoiler of sorts.

Time for a change. Starting with Chapter 5 the splash title of Game 2 will be the one shown above (Work in progress). 

Himeros Haven will be the spoiler free title and allow me to shorthand Game 2 to HH2 instead. The same will be true for HH3.

The reason for using the splash titles is to not spoil someone who has started HH2 or HH3 by mistake, since it is the first thing you see and the trilogy warning is after that. It also allows forum talk without having to use the location title. You might say I am being silly, but I like to keep something a surprise for when you first enter that game. 

Why Haven? Haven fits the tone of the game without giving away anything.

Let me know what you think.

Have a lovely day
