” Not sure what you mean here by ‘target their audience a little better’…these names are, IMO, just as meaningless as ‘monkey’”
“Never say never, but my current POV is that we’d be nuts to change the name.”
“I really, really want to move forward, not backwards here”well i think Mark’s message is clear, the name has no real meaning just a naming convention like a logo that has nothing to do with its product, the purpose is to know what or who the subject matter is. after all people are cool with python (snake)
and what the hecks a c or c++ or java which was named because coders drank a lot of coffee.and he wants to move forward…id hate to see monkey2 slowdown or stop cause of a name. as long as he knows this topic didn’t come from a bad place and its actually love from the community….and if he needed help its definitely here.
the best thing we can do is make some kick ass games from it and people will know he’s Not Monkeying Around…see what i just did there…simply because monkies and programming are two wildly different subjects.
not really..lol

I don’t think its just branding alone advertising plays a big part in selling a product. I remember buying blitz plus a long time ago and a book called programming for teens and though i was just learning the title was kind of a put off, so i was thinking ok wheres the programming for adults then. So it did feel directed towards kids to me. I had little time with it beacause i was I was always working, but digging deeper it seemed pretty capable. Im still learning, I never got a chance to play with BP but loved the language compared to everything else i seen. Monkey being the newest evolution, Im sure its capable of way more.
Imo most people need to be convinced why to buy something and honestly when I look around I see alot of atari clones… not a real seller for the new age if you ask me. Maybe something like a community project to show what monkey can do would help, sort of like the guys at blender.org are doing to push blender.
I like the name monkey but I get i can sound meh. Prime 8 sounds pretty bad ass though! But i love monkey language!
just my 2cents.
ok think i got it, i hit the build and run button before… its rebuilding now!
