Addressing Mein's Name/Game Title
With the 2nd Demo continuing development strongly, and hearing more talks about the game with people, there is something I feel i need to address that has been bugging me.
The characters name is MEIN /mān/
His name is NOT MINE /mīn/
Remember, he's the MAIN character, who's favorite food is Chow MEIN noodles.
Many for the longest time have pronounced it "mine", some even thinking of the German word for "my" being "mein". I can't fault anyone, being part German myself, I understand the confusion. I've also been told this might effect the view on my game. Using Mein's name in the title was meant to invoke a similar feeling to other classic mascot platformers, having the characters name followed by a subtitle. I'd prefer to keep the title as is, but even if I end up having to change the title, Mein's name will remain Mein.
I have Updated the logo ever so slightly for the next demo to hopefully make it more clear to people with a simple apostrophe "s" in the title. Who knows, maybe I'll even add a voice line saying the title so there is even less confusion. Very little has changed, but if I need to change more, I'll make sure to post about it. Also, If you did pronounce Mein's name wrong, its no biggie. However, I'm drawing the line when people make assumptions about me and my characters. I hope you understand and will try not to view the title or name of Mein in a negative light. Please let me know if this has helped make anything more clear, Id really appreciate feedback on something as important as this. See ya soon with more DEMO 2 info!
