4) Any alternate dimensions/timelines planned to be visited?

5) Will there be a video game?

7) Why did you choose to reboot the series?

8) How have things changed from the original?

9) I haven't personally read the series, as I plan on binge-reading it once the entire season is released, so you can tell me a little more about the Shattered to whet my interest?

10) Who does Albedo consider his best friend/right hand man?

11) Who is Albedo's love interes?

12) Is Sunny still Ben/Gwen's cousin?

13) Are some of the canon personalities going to incoroporate themselves in the heroes/villains?

14) Will there be a season 2?

15) Is this your only current project?

16) What was your process in the creation of the series?

1.) Lodestar.

2.) Albedo is a bit serious but also lighthearted, however Ben is upright cruel and evil.

3.) I'm not sure. I don't watch TV too much, but if I had to choose one, Arrowverse inspires me a bit.

4.) The canon and the Dimension 23 for IRR are planned to be visited.

5.) Yeah, that was actually announced at Fanon Con.

8.) Some ideas were scrapped from the original and Ben is a lot more evil. One thing that was scrapped was that in the original, it was uncovered that Albedo was kidnapped after about the second episode and replaced with his evil twin brother. I got rid of that to keep it simple for the readers in the beginning.

9.) The Shattered was an organization founded by Albedo's father figure, Dr. Animo. After a tramautic event, it was handed down to Albedo. Some of the early episodes are about Albedo kind of struggling with the responsibility of it. I guess you could call it like the Anti-Plumbers, though.

10.) Alan Albright, his roommate.

11.) Lucy Mann. I think I accidentaly said that in an earlier episode that they were, but they won't be in a relationship for a while.

12.) I haven't thought about that much, but I have to say no.

13.) Yeah. People like Argit and Kevin have roughly the same personalities, but Kevin is just a bit more evil rather than just rough-around the edges.

14.) For sure! It should also be a lot better than season 1 in terms of writing.

15.) I am working on an upcoming series called Mack 10, but it is still in the planning stages. You can check out my Hype Train blog to check out some stuff about it.

16.) I'm not sure what you mean by this. I really just took the original, went "okay, here's what I like, here's what I don't like", and wung it. I didn't pre-write this first season, but I plan to pre-write the second season.
