Yes. No. Maybe?

 

Ok, from what it looks like, it seems like an interesting game, but I can't understand half of what you're saying.

 

Prime example:

Precise -2A, Add Mind to Com

Beat Opp adds Str to Ref, +1k0 attack dice

Ok, I'm assuming D&D based literature here,

str = strength

ref = reflex

 

what's com, A, and +1k0 mean?

 

Second, what exactly is the story/background behind it? There is no good 'game' unless it is meaningful.

Wow.... That's.... You typed a lot. Have you thought of people in your game? Or... Do you imagine your character up and play pretend? What kind of Game is it? Action? Adventure? Rpg? Puzzle? Puzzles are really boring so I don't think that's what it is but... From scrolling through it (It would be a little boring to read the WHOLE thing) I'm Guessing a Military game? I don't play them that much, so I dunno but... I don't know a good name for that type of game. Sorry.

hmm...it seems like your game is a tech game, so the name would have to be mainly tech based.For example: Techfury or Technology Is Killing Us or something.Whatever you choose, it has to be related to technology!!!

a) By tech he does not mean technology, as far as I can tell. The name does not have to reflect the setting. Some stories are specifically designed in a way that the setting does not matter.
