Ok, will be starting new assignments and adding some extras to X0 now I see it's on a big page's reading list!
But I also got to throw a disclaimer out here on X0.
A few actually since I get inboxed about things too.
This project is not a fan fiction of Cyberpunk 2077 or Phantom Liberty or even Edge Runners nor the tabletop game (which I f*cking loved when I played it with a friend at a cafe!!) However I have never played the video games due to a grudge I have with CDPROJEKT RED for damaging my PS4! And I have never watched any lets plays... I watched Edge Runners though but by then I had completed 6 Chapters of X0, alongside already having a full outline of the plot...
If I had to source inspiration for X0, it would be The Matrix Trilogy. Not Resurrections but the original 3. Plus even the Animatrix. Plus Altered Carbon + Outlaw Star, Battle Angel the manga and Ghost In the Shell.
The cyberpunk sub genre tropes are similar however, with all of these, Cyberpunk2077 included (From my perspective, what I saw in Edge Runners). But the overall the narrative design down to the plot and characters are all different plus can stand on their own.
Plus, I have been hardwired to that CyberPunk sub genre for as long as I can remember. My first amateur book was a VR Cyberpunk story lmao! And it ripped off The Matrix... I mean, I was a nine year old writing that.
Anyways
I've been crafting the screenplay and I feel it works better then the novelisation. I have been marking a lot of sections of text in the project however. But this is linked to me changing wordings in the screenplay version, so do ignore those 'en dashes' when reading. They will be polished.
But please... DO NOT call my story a Cyberpunk2077 Fan Fic. If I have to go and buy a PS5 (which I still can't afford) to experience this game to see for myself I will. Because, just from the Edge Runners viewing alone, I see very little similarities. Cont in Comments-
