    Hi.

    Before the name of Starbound was officially announced, someone -forgot the name- on Terraria Online mentioned that the game would be called 'Planetfall'.
    But when the game was announced it seemed that the game would actually be called 'Starbound'.
    Both of the names sound pretty sweet to me, but which one do you prefer?

    I prefer Planetfall over Starbound, to be honest. It just sound a bit more epic.

    Personally, I prefer the name "Starbound" ^_^

    After all this exposure with the Starbound name, it's hard to say it will change again.
    And I think the problem with the name Planetfall was that it was already registered as a 1983 game.
    The more you know...

    Well, there's also another game named Starbound here on the internet.

    It's a flash game, and not legally registered.

    I like 'Starbound' because of it's dual meaning of "Space exploring" and "destined for greatness". c:

    Gonna have to go with Starbound. For one, I believe it sounds better, and it has much more meaning to it, which is to say, it suits the game's genre well.

    I'd vote Starfall.

    Starbound sounds like you'll be exploring the "stars." Planetfall sounds like you'll be destroying planets. This game is really leaning more towards exploration and lots to see rather than destroying planets :p but this is just my interpretation of the names. Feel free to disagree.

    It doesn't seem to fit the game, it suggests there is only one planet and they are bound for it, which we know is not what the game is about.
    Same issue, it implies stars falling, possibly as shiny rocks from the sky. I'd say planetfall and starbound are both better than these.

    starbound all the way

    Planetfall sounds like it's implying you'd be evil in some way or you'd have to destroy planets.
    Starbound gives the feeling that you're traveling the universe in either a ship called starbound or just plain traveling on a random ship.
    It would be cool if it would change names depending on whether you were good or evil in my opinion.

    Nice suggestion... but really, in the end, people WILL destroy planets, Planetfall or Starbound...

    But I thought your planet was destroyed by some enemy. So your planet has fallen. Planetfall. :D
    :poo: <- dafuq is this? Just noticed, lol.

    You do know it was a joke?
    Anyway I think starbound is better. :)

    One problem with the name Starbound. When you google it you get some kind of dancing show or flash game. Very annoying when I was first trying to find this website.
