PART 4: NAME CHANGE! (AKA WHY YOU SHOULD CONSULT GOOGLE/AN IP LAWYER)
So... here's the first real dev update to share with you all. The new name for my space western game is now...
Why you may ask?
Well... it's because I discovered a board game. This board game.
https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/249275/silver-river
(This game seems really cool by the way. Go check it out if you like tabletop games.)
So, uh, whoops! Big whoops actually! I completely and stupidly did not search for any board games that have "Silver River" or a very, very close title.
I only searched video games and other entertainment products, thinking, "Well, there's no games called Silver River so I'm good!"
But then, after having a conversation with someone who incidentally brought up a board game called The Silver River which I had not discovered, I soon consulted an IP lawyer who very thoroughly explained the possible brand/trademark confusion.
And so after coming up with a list of 50 possible replacement names, whittling it down to 3, and asking some close friends...
BITTER SILVER just stuck.
So going forward, Bitter Silver is the name.
Get it stuck inside your head as much as I have now.
So, until next time...
