- It's a programming project;
- It's connected to computer games;
- It's also connected to... another form of digital entertainment which is (arguably) related to computer games;
- In the beginning at least, I'm going to make the code I write open source.
The actual name "Clockwork Aphid" comes from the name of the group I helped field to the "Dare to be Digital" computer game creation competition several years ago. We didn't get in, but we proposed a game called "Bad Penny" which I still think was a bloody good idea. Some of the elements of that project are contained in this one also, but the name Bad Penny was chosen for a good reason. It was very appropriate for the type of game we were proposing. This project is potentially bigger, though, and I don't want to limit the scope.
As for the Clockwork Aphid name itself? I just plain thought it sounded good then and I still think it sounds good now.
I wonder if I still have the svg file hanging around for the logo...
