New name? Why?

Yes, after thinking about it for a while, I've decided that this game needs a name change. The reason is pretty simple: B.i.t.Lock is just not a good name... It sounded cool on paper and has grown on me a lot, but I realized that it has some major flaws. The dots in the name and the capitalization make it really tedious to type and it's not really a good name to search for. Imagine telling your friends and family about your game, but struggling to tell the name and ending up writing the name on a piece of paper so they won't mistype it later. People should have a much easier time finding this game and related content with the new name.

So what's the new name?

It's Block in the Lock. That's actually still B.i.t.Lock, but spelled out completely. Yep, the B.i.t. part of B.i.t.Lock was actually an abbreviation all along. It was originally an inside joke, but it fits so well that it will soon be the new official name for the game. It describes the game well, is easy to search for and doesn't invalidate the old name. It will still take a little while before the change is complete since I need to edit a lot of artwork and rebuild the game. That's it for now. I just wanted to tell you all, so nobody gets to confused about it.
