i've been thinking about maybe changing the name of my "game studio" before the beta of my game is ready. at that point it will be solidified permanently, basically, and i'm not so sure i like the name of Useless Torch.

i think part of it is because Useless Torch was supposed to be a combination of all my friends getting together and working on stuff, but since its inception everyone has gone seperate ways and i can't see them really working for/with me in the future. so i kind of want to move away from that name and have something that refers to just me working alone with freelancers to fill in the gaps.

i've been thinking about using the name "After Midnight" recently. have a sort of logo design in mind for it too. if there is any time i'm going to change my studio name it'll be now, because i don't want people to get confused if i change it after it has been proliferated more.

what do you guys think?

@beardalaxy "After Midnight" seems way too generic. It's probably already taken given how many developers work late into the night. The name kind of reminds me of "Insomniac Games".

I've also been coming up with names for a one-man studio, but I feel like whatever I come up with is already taken. I thought of "Divided by 0 Productions" but I feel like that is already taken and I'm too lazy to check.

@xianc78 it does sound a little bit generic, but it doesn't seem like it has already been taken. there are a few games called After Midnight, though.

useless torch also just sounds a bit weird to me, i thought at the time it was just kind of funny. i also didn't even come up with it, my friend did, who isn't really into the whole game dev thing anymore. every time i hear it i can't get the picture of a broken flashlight out of my head, but i'm not even british xD

i was trying to find something that really described me a bit more, and given how often i'm up after midnight i thought it was a fitting name. i also like Blink 182 and they have a song called After Midnight i like xD
