@JaelGuzman4 No, Roblox has never really been on my radar for the series, though if it was included, it likely wouldn't pull from a specific game since that technically falls under fanworks

@ Shabambo  this is stupid, but have you considered Roblox or a Roblox game for New Game Plus?

@JaelGuzman4 It's perfectly alright! I always love the opportunity to answer questions about New Game. And I also absolutely agree with you. When it comes to crossovers of this large of a scale, it gets really messy figuring out how they come together, especially when many of these series take place in specific time periods. However, I personally vastly prefer the Subspace method of them all coexisting already as opposed to "the multiverse is in trouble and all these universes need to come together" that I often see. New Game itself already kinda has to have one combined universe that Master Mind has a grudge against, but I also find it much more interesting for all of these series to share a world. What knowledge do certain characters share? Do they know about characters from other series and have insights about them? It is inarguably messy trying to lay out how exactly they all come together, but I find this approach to be more fun

I have 2 heroes and 2 villains character suggestions:
          1. The 8 bit Defender ship from The Defender arcade. It's character will be based on their inclusion in Lego Dimensions that I really liked even tho I haven't played or heard of The Defender at the time.
          2. Any Danganronpa survivor. Not sure which one tho, maybe we can talk in Discord.
          3. Springtrap from fnaf. I'm a fnaf kid. That is all.
          4. Flowey The Flower from Undertale. Would be an interesting villain to have.

@JaelGuzman4 1. I think there's an argument that Niko is the most "heroic" protagonist of the franchise, though he obviously isn't a good person. Ultimately, Niko was chosen because he represents a popular series and works well with the plot of the episode. It needed someone not very heroic to break the others out of prison. However, New Game Minus is planned to have a GTA rep that will be in a villainous role.
            2. Early on, the shared knowledge is mostly about Master Mind. A few characters have knowledge about him and the first battle that took place against him years prior, such as Heihachi or the Mask of Death. There are a couple examples of characters having knowledge from other games though, like Palutena knowing about Shinnok or Geno knowing about the Star Rod

@ Shabambo  1. I think making Niko Bellic a hero was not a good idea since you play as criminals in gta. Even the creator of GAS admitted that the gta series doesn't need a hero rep.
            2. I'm re reading the New Game story and I can't find anywhere where a hero and villain have knowledge from another series (I don't count K Rool knowing about the Power Star since he is from the Mario series)

@JaelGuzman4 Interesting suggestions. I can't promise any of them will make it in, but they'll definitely be considered. If you wanna reach out to me on Discord, my username is shabambo

Any hint of what New Game Minus will be about?

Shabambo

@JaelGuzman4 Yeah, they're alive but they won't be a part of the story

@ Shabambo  so Bowser and Eggman are just doing there own thing?

Shabambo

@JaelGuzman4 The end of New Game Plus shows characters who died, like Bowser and Otacon, back to life after Mario's wish. So both Bowser and Eggman are alive again, but they don't have a part to play in the new story. The Real World is World 42

@JaelGuzman4 The last time we saw the New Game heroes, they were all under the control of Master Mind

Hey everyone, it's Shabambo. Today is March 10th, which means that it's been 5 years since I started posting on Wattpad. To celebrate, I thought I'd give an update on current projects and also add a new book that contains other stuff I've written as a little treat. That'll be updated whenever I feel like it, but I have some fun stuff to share. As for the elephant in the room, New Game Plus is approaching completion. Chapter 6 is full of large episodes which is partially why it's taken awhile, and I still have about 6 episodes to complete, but it’s making progress. But what about after New Game Plus? I actually have some ideas. There's a chance that these won't happen, but I thought I'd get opinions on them.
          -Kinda secret project that I've been brainstorming for awhile (though I've kinda talked about it before)
          -Metroid x Dead Space crossover
          -Kid Icarus x Gravity Rush crossover
          -Other smaller crossovers that are in idea stages
          So the smaller crossover projects would just include those two series and probably follow a more traditional writing style instead of the script format. Maybe they'll happen, maybe not. Maybe they'll be connected to New Game, also probably not. We'll see. If you have any feedback or wanna yell at me for not finishing New Game Plus yet, feel free.

Hey, Sonickev1101 made a new version of GAS inspired by your story New Game, but I am not sure if he asked permission to use your ideas abd Master Mind.

Shabambo

@JaelGuzman4 Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I wasn't aware of this. I'm normally okay if people wanna build off of New Game or use my original characters as long as they talk to me or give credit. I was never contacted about any of this, and a lot of his story is blatantly copied from New Game

@ JaelGuzman4  I am not saying he stole your ideas since he credited you, but I thibk you should do something about it if he didn't ask permission.

I would like to know some progress relating to New Game Plus. Also, I know what Duke is talking about when he mentioned dudes with swords, but what of these videl game heroes are "superheroes"? (I guess it depends on what you think makes a superhero).

@JaelGuzman4 New Game Plus is sadly on another indefinite hiatus as I have been very busy. For context, I am currently a senior in college, so I'm not exactly swimming in free time. I currently have 1 1/2 episodes written for Chapter 6 of New Game Plus and pretty much have a solid idea of how every episode will play out. I've considered publishing non-fanfiction short stories that I've written in place of New Game updates, though I'm not sure if my current audience would really care. New Game Plus currently has 15 unrevealed characters, and all the remaining episodes will revolve around the teams coming together to take down the remaining series villains. Episode 1 of Chapter 6 is about the final confrontation with Cortex. I wish I had better news, but that's the best update I can give at the moment
