Choice of Alexandria has an achievement “Choice of Robots.”
That’s the only one I am aware of. But, as I just put a small homage to Cannonfire Concerto in my own work in progress, I was curious whether there are any other easter eggs that you know about?
@Nocturnal_Stillness’s Hosted Game UnNatural has in-game joke ‘advertisements’ that are homages to a number of other Hosted Games by various authors, including Zombie Exodus and Life of a Wizard. Several of the media references in the game are also references to other games.
Yeah UnNatural has several homages as both in-game adverts as part of the “TV show” theme.
Also Choice of a Vampire becomes a movie “Rise of a vampire” Zombie Exodus and Safe haven are a film series and Community College Hero is a video game the player can play in episode one.
Also Zombie Exodus has an UnNatural easter egg when you can find Jason playing the game on the PC
Maybe in 2020 we can publish one of those huge crossover type of stories involving time travel/dimensional portals/insert plot device here where the heroic NPCs of a few dozen games band together against the (surviving) antagonists of those same games in an epic money grab…oops I mean epic struggle for the fate of the universe…and the MC can tip the balance either way!
like with Attack on Titan with DC & Transformers with Marvel & Generator Rex with Ben 10 and…
yeah, I’m going to stop there before someone sends in Deadpool and Deathstroke- “Stan-Lee!George Perez!Marv Wolfman! I have a new Marvel crossover with DC idea for you three!”
(and I am killed)
Well, if I ever find the energy to do a sequel to Apex Patrol, I’ll have a chance to find out all about cross-overs after I introduce the Quantum-Simulator (Holodeck) to the ship. No genre or character will be safe. And it’ll be hell to write.
For the survive/thrive matrix we’re about to construct, why don’t we consider a few ground rules.
First of all, I’d like to propose that any powers or abilities the crossover protagonist has in their universe remains active in the new one. It feels boring to say… ‘But since there is no magic/zombies/trombones in this reality…’
Two, I suggest that the crossover protagonist (CP?) is allowed an initial safe zone and some time to acclimate.
I think I threw in a line in CCH Part 2 where the MC is brainstorming some outlandish ideas to make the MC more powerful, and one of the discarded ideas is, “somehow eliminate my enemies by stealing their powers and absorbing their memories!” as a shout-out to Versus.
