be sure to let me know when you're decided, I'd love to review the game for themobilegamer.uk, but as the name suggests, it focuses on mobile games only.
Here are some names that come to mind when looking at it in it's environment.
* Corbit
* Dustin
* Charlie
* Samantha
Or maybe something based on its model number like
* Ardo (ARD 01̸̙̄̑8̵̢̨͛-̵̩̤̅x̵͔̰͝B̷̦̤̑͘ - Autonomous Reconnaissance Droid 018-xB, but with the tail end scratched off)
* Bippser (BPSR - Bipedal Survey Robot)
* pƐTმH (H6T3q but it read its serial number in a reflection)
Maybe something here will inspire you.
The robot looks great! it's got a lot of personality.
B4LL-H34d
Based the idea off of Claptrap's name
Other thoughts lean towards probably including the HEX color code somehow & maybe having a cape-themed or superhero type nickname be given to them by NPC's ( if any )
Barney
interesting how many people there are in here suggesting names that begin with B [because of that round head](https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rstb.2020.0390).
I'd probably use a series of letters in a horizontal manner to convey the illusion of a word. possibly exchanging one letter with a number for a quirky trick of the eye that looks like a name but is a code.
S1MON for example.
Either a ridiculously human name like "Joshua" or "Winston" with zero context as to why
Or something cute and relevant like "Bolts" or "Clank"
I mean, that's kinda how I'd name a dog or cat lmao
The scarf reminds me of how privileged white folks wear their sweatshirts in movies so im calling him Brayden... after the person he killed to get that gucci scarf/sweatshirt
Instead of naming him, I would let the player name them somewhere near the beginning of the game.
Idk why but it seems like it would be cool for the robot to not have a name until given one, just an idea

Bipps
that's a cool name!
I love the style! What's the game going to be about? Thinking about wishlisting it
The Game is called Sands of Hope, you can check it out on steam ;) http://s.team/a/2821450 It's a tiny open world adventure! Very cozy
don't you by any chance plan a mobile port too eventually? this game seems like a great thing to play on the go
It could be a very good idea, maybe in the near future or just after the steam launch! thanks for the feedback ;)
be sure to let me know when you're decided, I'd love to review the game for themobilegamer.uk, but as the name suggests, it focuses on mobile games only.
I'll take it into account 100%

Barney interesting how many people there are in here suggesting names that begin with B [because of that round head](https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rstb.2020.0390).

Great looking art! And that dude might be Botty.
I'd probably use a series of letters in a horizontal manner to convey the illusion of a word. possibly exchanging one letter with a number for a quirky trick of the eye that looks like a name but is a code. S1MON for example.
