    • Totally stupid (but interesting...) question


      Why "Coldstone" ?

      Unless they want to kill
      you...

    • well I think it's to draw attention with the acronym CS.
      CS also stands for the immensely popular CounterStrike Half-life Mod, so I'm betting the makers just wanted attention by mistakes I guess.

    • Who knows? Its a good name though. It sure beats "Rootin' Tootin' RPG Development Kit" 😃

    • I think the engine was originally being developed by Beenox for an RPG called 'ColdStone,' although I'm not sure if that's true or not.

      Because they say so.

      It was the name before they redid it, and it is not likely to change.

    • Hehehe, Rootin' Tootin' is a great name for an RPG kit! Why don't we start up a petition to get ColdStone's name changed to Rootin'est Tootin'est RPG Developement Kit on this Dang Side of Alpha Centauri! RTRPGDKDSAC for short! 🙂

    • Coldstone may not be the best name, but that rootin tootin thing will be sure to send any popularity right down to zilch

    • You people sicken me :p. Seriously, don't even think about taking that name into consideration.

      Interesting... I don't see a locked topic about the title of the project anywhere in the last 60 days of posts to this board, so I guess your memory must be a bit better than mine. 🙂 And why should this topic (or any of the others you've posted similar requests to in recent memory) be locked?

      You don't need a moderator
      I reiterate, because they say so.
      They can call it what they want

    • While I cannot speak for the other mods, I can say:

      1. I haven't answered Dark Madman's question because I don't know.

      2. I haven't closed the topic because the whole "Rootin' Tootin'" thing amuses me. Granted, this has gotten pointless enough to warrant closing.
