Talk:Glassmyer's Underworld patch

The title is way too long. Try to compress it into something shorter.--Tribun (talk) 13:05, 23 February 2025 (MST)

and why is that again?--The Ultra-Mind (talk) 18:11, 23 February 2025 (MST)

Although, upon reflection this is probably unnecessary long. "The" can be removed and "Ultima" is redundant. "Patch" should probably be a common noun, unless it isn't. In that case, I'd like to know what the proper noun is. And "John Glassmyer"'s name is on the long side. If a shorter name could be found for the patch, I think that would be an improvement.--The Ultra-Mind (talk) 07:55, 24 February 2025 (MST)

Originally I was thinking of calling it The patch made by fan John Glassmyer for Ultima Underworld: The Stygian Abyss and Ultima Underworld II: Labyrinth of Worlds which adds a modern mouselook mode as well as many other nifty features but then I decided to trim it down a bit.

Taking a cue from Economy and Monster Patch for Ultima IX I took the "something patch for game" format:

• John Glassmyer's patch for the Ultima Underworld series
• John Glassmyer's patch for Ultima Underworld I & II
• John Glassmyer's patch for the Ultima Underworlds

It could also be like Ultima VII Nitpickers Delight Patch in the "game somethinig patch" format:

• Ultima Underworld mouselook patch (I created this one as a redirect)
• Ultima Underworld series John Glassmyer Patch
• Ultima Underworld I & II John Glassmyer Patch
• Ultima Underworlds John Glassmyer Patch

Some patches (Forgotten World, Savage Empire SNES Translation) don't mention Ultima, and General MIDI Patches doesn't mention Ultima or Underworld, but these are the exceptions rather than the norms.

Any thoughts? --Sir Robin (talk) 09:38, 24 February 2025 (MST)

John doesn't seem to have dwelled on the naming aspect very much. How about "Glassmyer’s Underworld patch"? It's unlikely to be ambiguous and the details of its scope can be covered in the body.--The Ultra-Mind (talk) 10:11, 24 February 2025 (MST)
