@Maytch Hi, Iโd love to work with you! Iโve done promo art for Steam before, and I wouldnโt mind doing it again.

#3 is Fifteen's rampage through the Prison. I really tried to up the environmental storytelling on this one, so try to figure out how each guard died!

@Adventurin2Fear I think DC & Marvel nixed this once cinematic universes got big, since they want to save villains for future movies. The last time I saw this was the tie-in to the first Capt. America movie, where Baron von Strucker showed up (and died) years before his Winter Soldier cameo.

I was just informed that some cool fans are creating a tribute to 'Katana ZERO' over at Reddit's r/place. Awesome work! ๐จ๐๏ธ. If you'd like to join in, hop onto the Discord server at and look for "K0 Reddit Pixel Place".

@baalbuddy The detailed hatch shading on Xavierโs wooden, unchanging grin elevates his dialogue so much. ๐คฃ.

@FeverDevJohnny I would to extend this to YouTubers/streamers being guest voice actors in games. Not only is their cultural relevance nil and their performances bad, but so many of them are regularly outed as bigots or sex pests that itโs a huge risk to a gameโs long-term reputation.

UPDATE: Apparently the proper plural form of "NULL" is still "NULL", not "NULLs". Time to fix some typos.

Whoa, I was just joking around. I didn't mean to make anyone feel guilty for wanting 150, so please continue!. (Also I don't have any creative control over the game anyway so don't worry.)๐.

@not_baller @whoisnassstya Protocol was not to include him in any promo materials, for fear of spoilers. I don't think anyone expected him to be the most popular character among fans!.

@coffpic_ota I think 2 is "childish". He's the youngest teammate and wants to look cool in front of older NULLs, but gets upset easily when he loses or gets bullied.

@AnnVals Actually, neither Fifteen nor Zero have any definite scars. Some artists draw Zero with a scar on his forehead (alluding to his head injury) and I have him a cheek scar but neither is canon. Fifteens facial scar was only in his concept art.

@CypressDahlia @ksen_otaku This is an awesome concept! Especially with the mounted MG, like a jumbo-sized technical. There was a similar idea in the recent Earth Defense Force 6, where the human survivors mount Nix exoskeletons to trucks to save fuel.

First up, "ๅ่
ใฎใฝใซใใผใ" ("Double-Armed Soldier") by @pafuhana1213 , an platform-adventure game where you switch between laser swords, guns, and homing missiles to counter and combo enemies. Anyone enjoying Metal Wolf Chaos XD should get the idea.

@starbeaat I like this. Some more ideas:. - Snow is Little Girl from the future. - Chronos came from aliens. - Leon lost arm in anticlimactic way. - Leon also lost wiener . - Everyone dies in a nuke, the end.

@coffpic_ota Yes. I was also confused, since being '2' suggests he was one the earliest test subjects and thus would be older than later numbered NULLs. The writers replied, "don't think about it". ๐.
