“What drives our story - what’s important to me as a writer - is the idea of treating these characters with dignity. They’re not just words on a page - they’re people in their own right.
We want to show their struggles and their triumphs in a way that feels real. We want to reflect the diversity of human experience in a way that both entertains the reader… and also gives them hope.”

This week on the NGP social media, we’re highlighting the roles of our core development team! Today, we’re introducing Bucky Grant, the Director of NGP.
Find more out about the game at our website, and follow this blog or our Twitter for updates.
Bucky came up with the concept for the game, and put together the original core team. They’re a veteran of the Homestuck fandom for ALMOST a decade now, and have juggled a variety of work including writing, voice acting, art, game design, and of course, podcasting. Bucky’s the director of New Game Plus, and are mostly responsible for wrangling the different pieces of the project into a cohesive whole. Every project needs a herd dog!

“I really wanted to do something for the high school me who was really into Homestuck’s worldbuilding potentiality, digging into as many "what if” fics as I could. What would happen if I could get a bunch of cool, talented people together to try to make something that we all cared about? Hopefully something good!
That’s really the point for me: making something that we care about, with respect for the characters and the people playing the game, just because we want to. That’s it! That’s my secret agenda: I really give a damn about the characters and the story we’re crafting.“
- Bucky Grant, Director
