Yodacon, the Starship That Lost a Naming Contest
An interactive lore archive turns a rejected middle-school team name and its 3D-rendered starship into a living game universe.
Why it surfaced
Yodacon begins with a wonderfully specific defeat: students voted on “Yodacons” or “Tauruses,” and the teachers chose Taurus. The site preserves that story while building outward into ship systems, an archive, Escape Velocity references, and a planned universe where the vessel can be flown, traded, refueled, and landed.
