Commanders! We have 3 weeks to change the "Battlestation" name to something else, we need your help! It has come to our attention that we made a mistake a long time ago by choosing the name "Battlestation" for our game series. This name is entirely too close to another series and the mistake is ours, we take full responsibility for this. We did not know the rules of how trademarks works, we were just excited to create games and came up with a name that we thought was fitting for the series. You live and you learn. We do not want any harm to the company that notified us, so please don't attack anybody. They were very kind with us and did not press any financial actions against us. We don't think the name impacted our sales in any way, but it was still generous of them to be kind with us.

New name!

Now we need your help! We need suggestions on a name that we could use instead of "Battlestation".

  • The name cannot have "battlestation" in it in any way, but some form derived from "Battle" is ok as long as it is not too close to "Battlestation".

  • The name should be fitting and describe the series, bonus points if it can inhabit a wide variety of new games we create as well.

A couple of our own ideas:

  • Battleversum

  • Astroverse
