Salsa_Shark is a screen name I started using in December of 2004, it comes from the 1994 movie Clerks. I'm known elsewhere on the internet as Devious_Malcontent or DeviousMalcon_t depending on character limits.
So I was researching new possible names for my project, and one of my personal favourites that I came up with was Demonia.
While I was researching this name to insure that there wasn't already a project in the pipe works by this name or that it wasn't already the name of a popular commercial game, I discovered that in fact, it was already the name of a movie. but what I couldn't help notice the most is how similar my games main plot is to the movies; goes to show that no matter how hard you try to be original there is always something similar to it. :P
I'm still considering Demonia as the possible new name for my project instead of Relic of Sin, but wanted to know what everyone else thought. :)

Hahaha, I think yours will probably end up better :P
I hope so! I put a lot of work in to redefining the story, so what is seen here is sort of an infant plot I wrote back in year 11, I'm surprised I could even spell back then. :P
I got the name Demonia from the word Cacodemonomania meaning possessed, I think I might change the games name to Demonia, it sounds kinda cool and it seems to suit it.
Edit: I also just released this game design document although there is another more up to date version on the way.
Yeah even I found some stories out there similer to mine as well. Gave me a twitch, but ah that's life. GL with your project man, a good story makes all the dif
Haha, Yeah I've had that feeling before... :S Thanks!
If you feel relic of sin is too bland of a name (not that it is), maybe translate it to Italian, or w/e u might want to call it to Italian and see if it fits. It might give it that extra misterious theme to it idk. Not sure how spooky Italian sounds :P
Well yeah, I had actually previously thought of doing that but with a German name when the game was originally set in Tyrol, Austria, But I since moved it to South Tyrol in Italy. The castle where the game starts is fictional, so I had planned to set it right on the border between the two countries.
Italian is not really a spooky language if you grew up with it, bit bland actually :P Demonia is a Latin word for demon or demons, so Relic of sin in Latin would be: Memorati memoriam peccatum Which is a really long name :P
How I got the name Relic of Sin came from Wolfenstein: Spear of Destiny referring to the holy lance. Where the story for this game is meant to be the opposite, it was sort of a working title which stuck, so I think I might actually keep it.
Thanks for your input though. :)
Also the protagonist of the story is an Indiana Jones type character.
