A Creator-Driven Successor is a work that is effectively a successor to another work by the same creator but belongs to a different franchise. This situation may be apparent if the creator takes care in having both works share similar themes, setting aesthetics, art style, or gameplay. A Thematic Series may result from a string of creator-driven successors. This is a way for creators that want to follow up on their previous work to get around the problems posed by attempts to continue a franchise directly, whether by a sequel, prequel, or Non-Linear Sequel. The inability to do so may be because: The creators are legally unable to make further continuations because they quit working with the copyright holders of their previous work or failed to secure their permission. Their original work was written so conclusively that making further installments that do it justice would be too difficult or disrespectful. The creator wants their work's successor to have all the beloved things from their old work but without its unwanted baggage. The creator wants to add something new that clashes too hard with their previous work. The creator-driven successor status can be subverted by Canon Welding, where the seemingly distinct franchises are revealed to be in the same continuity. If creator-driven successors to a franchise are seen as better than official sequels that were made without key creators, Only the Creator Does It Right may result. Compare Same Story, Different Names, for other instances of creators copying themselves. Compare Start My Own, where someone who's fed up with dealing with a particular organization for whatever reason leaves and starts a new one with a similar purpose. Not to be confused with Spiritual Successor, where it's the audience that regards a work as a virtual successor to another, regardless of whether the works share creators. |

TearRing Saga, a Japanese-only strategy RPG for the PlayStation designed by Fire Emblem creator Shozo Kaga, is practically an unofficial Fire Emblem sequel, to the point that Nintendo sued Kaga's company, Tirnanog, for copyrights infringement (but lost the case). In 2019 he released another one called Vestaria Saga I: War of the Scions. | |

In turn, Adventure Time and Regular Show can be considered this to the three above shows. J. G. Quintel worked on Camp Lazlo before creating Regular Show, while a number of SpongeBob and Phineas and Ferb writers eventually jumped ship to AT and RSnote RS had Mike Roth, who used to work on P&F as a writer with Kent Osborne and Martin Olson, both of whom wrote for SBSP before moving to AT along with Nate Cash, Merriwether Williams, and Derek Drymon.. | |

Bimble's Bucket is very much is this to The Dreamstone, with a very similar dynamic, tone and even most of the characters resembling those of the previous show. Both shows take place in a fantasy world where an Evil Overlord desires the heroes' magical trinket, sending bumbling minions with a Zany Scheme to steal it every episode. Both were projects created by Mike Jupp and Martin Gates Productions, meaning a good amount of the same people worked on both series. | |

Disney's Hercules would qualify as such to their preceding animated film Aladdin. Both films are based on classic myths/folk tales set in the ancient world. The main players include a well-meaning yet frowned-upon young male outsider, who has confidence issues and wants to feel acceptance/respect, and who comes to embrace himself for who he is by the end (Hercules and Aladdin), a conniving and snarky man of power (Hades and Jafar) within the inner circles of a jovial king he seeks to supplant (Zeus and the Sultan) with the aid of sealed away ancient beings of immense power (the Genie and the Titans) who ultimately is punished by being trapped in a dark place without the use of his power when beaten by the hero, the feisty woman the hero loves who is trapped in a life position she seeks to break free from (Meg and Jasmine), among others such as in the various comedic sidekicks. (Such as the heroes' anthropomorphized modes of transportation, the villains' comedic sidekicks who are regularly abused by their masters and do a lot of the grunt work.) Both films also have a lighter, more irreverent tone than the more serious films that preceded (Beauty and the Beast/The Hunchback of Notre Dame) and followed them (The Lion King/Mulan) in the Disney canon, with many comic anachronisms and pop culture references. Both films had the same pair of directors with Ron Clements and John Musker. And both, naturally, were animated Disney musicals with music by Alan Menken. | |

Rock Band: Developer Harmonix developed the first two games in the Guitar Hero series, after which they parted ways with publisher Activision. The latter would continue the Guitar Hero series with different developers while the former would start producing the Rock Band series, which added additional instruments besides the guitar, an innovation that Activision's later Guitar Hero games would also adopt. | |

Endurance was this to the short-lived Fox Kids reality competition show Moolah Beach, also created by J. D. Roth and Todd Nelson. Endurance itself got one in the form of the 2020 HBO Max reality competition show Karma, co-created by Roth with music producer Scooter Braun, which is effectively a seventh season of Endurance in all but name and certain concepts (for example, Karma features the "Cave of Karma" instead of Endurance's Temple of Fate). | |

Dark Souls. Director Hidetaka Miyazaki and his team at FromSoftware wanted to create a follow up to their Cult Classic Demon's Souls, but publisher Sony refused to greenlight a sequel, feeling that its sales were too low. Thus, they went over to Bandai Namco and created a successor under a slightly different name. | |

Ironically, the success of Dark Souls led Sony to approach From and Miyazaki with a new offer to make a game together, but rather than produce a sequel to Demon's Souls, they chose to make yet another one of these, Bloodborne. | |

Eden's Last Sunrise is this to Sungazer Software's (when they were still known as Tilde-One Games) older game series: The Reconstruction, I Miss the Sunrise, and The Drop, as well as the unreleased, would-be final entry How Far, from which remains of the plot were "scavenged" for Eden's Last Sunrise. It uses many of the same ideas, locations and characters, placed in a new setting. | |

Another Eden serves as one to Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross as JRPGs focused on time travel and the consequences of meddling with history, all of which featured Masato Kato as a scenario writer and Yasunori Mitsuda as a composernote Advertising by Association has led to the Common Knowledge that Mitsuda did the entire score for Another Eden. He only wrote the main theme and a few other key themes for the first volume of music and left everything else to other composers because he was too busy to commit full-time. This was not his original intent going in as Wright Flyer Studios approached him to work on their games and then asked if he could work on their time travel game, Kato was uninterested in writing more time travel narratives and had to be persuaded into writing for it. | |

In turn, Adventure Time and Regular Show can be considered this to the three above shows. J. G.

Furthermore, many crew members of those two shows moved over to Steven Universe and Bee And Puppy Cat.note Kat Morris worked on RS before moving to SU, former AT director Larry Leichliter directed every B&PC episode, Pendleton Ward moved to B&PC after AT ended, Fred Seibert was executive producer for both AT and B&PC, Kent Osborne (writer for AT and one RS episode) moved to SU and B&PC, and Ian Jones-Quartey worked on AT before moving to SU. Also of note is that both of those shows' creators (Rebecca Sugar and Natasha Allegri, respectively) worked on AT beforehand. |

Disney's The Hunchback of Notre Dame would qualify as such to their preceding animated film Beauty and the Beast. Both films are based on classic pieces of literature based in France. The main players being a misunderstood/tortured man thought of as a monster by the outside world that lives in a monolithic building (Quasimodo and The Beast), his sidekicks in the form of legless anthropomorphic objects (the castle's denizens turned into household objects like Lumiere, Cogsworth, and Mrs. Potts from Beast and the Notre Dame gargoyles Victor, Hugo, and Laverne from Hunchback), the strong and compassionate woman that defends him who he falls for (Esermelda and Belle), a villainous man with influence in his hometown that is deeply arrogant and lusts after the female lead who ultimately dies in a final confrontation when he besieges the aforementioned monolithic building where he falls to his death (Frollo and Gaston). Both films had the same pair of directors with Gary Trousdale and Kirk Wise. And both, naturally, were animated Disney musicals with music by Alan Menken. | |

From did this yet again with Elden Ring, which retains many mechanics and ideas from the Souls games despite being a distinct series. Like with Bloodborne, this was not done out of necessity, since From fully owns the rights to Dark Souls. It was done deliberately since Elden Ring, in spite of its similarities to the Souls games, puts its own spin on things with its Wide-Open Sandbox structure, and to give more creative freedom to guest writer George R. R. Martin. | |

Strider Cannon Dancer is one to the original Strider, created by the same planner (Kouichi Yotsui) after he left Capcom and was asked to do a "Strider-like" game by his new company (Mitchell Corporation). The similarities in gameplay, style and story are so big even the staff referred to it as "Strider Hiryu Part II", and while Yotsui is adamant to call it a sequel, in later years he has relented somewhat and called it "his" version of Strider 2. 2011's Square-Enix title Moon Diver was also directed by Yotsui, and this time he came out right away stating that it can be considered "a sequel to the action games [he has] made in the past", and sure enough it plays and controls very closely to both Strider and Cannon Dancer. |

Lévy and Goliath is another Gérard Oury film about Jewish people/culture and a protagonist who finds himself chased by antagonists following a random encounter that happened to him, after The Mad Adventures of Rabbi Jacob and Ace of Aces. In fact, it's a reverse of Rabbi Jacob, in that a religious Jewish man has to disguise as a gentile/non-religious person to escape the villains instead of the other way. And Vladimir Cosma composed the soundtrack once again. | |

Angus McSix definitely continues the adventures of the lead singer's character Angus McFife from Gloryhammer, just without directly saying so using probably copyrighted names. Thus, we have Prince Angus coming back as Angus McSix, without stating that he used to be Angus McFife. He doesn't mention having owned the Hammer of Glory but sings "Glory left my hammer." And the background story says that, before encountering the new Big Bad, he was expecting to fight his old enemy (without saying it was Zargothrax). Secondly, the tone of the new band is basically the same as Gloryhammer's, i.e., a gleefully outrageous parody of Power Metal. | |

Mighty No. 9 was Keiji Inafune's attempt to create a new Mega Man game on his own at a time when Capcom didn't want to. Ironically, the game's Troubled Production, repeat occurrences of Schedule Slip, and poor reception when it finally released led to increased scrutiny of Inafune's career, including discussions about how much credit he really deserved for the Mega Man series. | |

Thomas Gabriel Fischer of Celtic Frost fame formed Triptykon, aiming to make its music as close to Monotheist-era Celtic Frost as humanly as possible. Celtic Frost itself was also a successor to Hellhammer. | |

New Gods was originally intended to be a sequel to his Tales of Asgard series, which had ended with the Norse gods dying and a futuristic, technological people replacing them. When Kirby moved to DC, it had to officially be in its own continuity, although there are one or two callbacks to Tales, such as a character finding the remains of the final battle. | |

In turn, when Kirby moved back to Marvel, he would recycle much of the same concepts he established in New Gods with The Eternals, as both are races of Physical Gods who reside in their own Hidden Elf Villages and would eventually be established to be the races from whom their settings' respective Galactic Conquerors hail from (Darkseid and Thanos respectively). | |

A Christmas Carol directed by Robert Zemeckis serves as this to his preceding CGI-animated Christmas film The Polar Express. Both films are based on a classic book centered around the holiday and are about a person whose perspective on life and attitude towards the holiday are changed as he goes through a supernatural journey started by beings who want to help them "open their eyes" so to speak.. Each also has a leading actor who plays several roles in the film. Ironically enough a marionette puppet of Ebenezer Scrooge appears in the film during the scene where they are in a car filled with abandoned/misfit toys being used by the hobo ghost. The Scrooge played by Jim Carrey in the subsequent film has a strikingly similar appearance/design. | |

BlazBlue is one to Guilty Gear, both developed by Arc System Works. At the time, ArcSys lost the rights to Guilty Gear due to a merger between Sega and Sammy Corporation and they couldn't develop a new fighting game for the series (hence why Guilty Gear 2: Overture was such a different game from the series and only features a handful of characters from the previous games). BlazBlue was originally planned to be an RPG, but in light of this outcome, it was changed to a fighting game. | |

Austerlitz (1960) was Abel Gance's second foray into the Napoleonic era after the 1927 silent epic Napoléon (which was intended to start a whole film saga that never saw the light of day). Gance reused many ideas he had in store for that unfinished saga in the film. | |

2011's Square-Enix title Moon Diver was also directed by Yotsui, and this time he came out right away stating that it can be considered "a sequel to the action games [he has] made in the past", and sure enough it plays and controls very closely to both Strider and Cannon Dancer. | |

Furthermore, many crew members of those two shows moved over to Steven Universe and Bee And Puppy Cat.note Kat Morris worked on RS before moving to SU, former AT director Larry Leichliter directed every B&PC episode, Pendleton Ward moved to B&PC after AT ended, Fred Seibert was executive producer for both AT and B&PC, Kent Osborne (writer for AT and one RS episode) moved to SU and B&PC, and Ian Jones-Quartey worked on AT before moving to SU. Also of note is that both of those shows' creators (Rebecca Sugar and Natasha Allegri, respectively) worked on AT beforehand. | |

Taxi Driver (1976), American Gigolo (1980) and Light Sleeper (1992). All written by Paul Schrader, all directed by him save for Taxi Driver, and all about turmoiled men navigating a sleazy urban setting in which they carve out a living, mostly a night(as a taxi driver, a male escort and a high-end drug dealer respectively). The three are considered a spritual trilogy of neo-noir classics(sometimes called the "God's Lonely Man" or "Lonely Man In A Room" trilogy) with their protagonists in different phases of life(20s, 30s, 40s) and numerous shared themes, tropes, actions and plot points. | |

The entire Xeno metaseries is a chain of this. Xenosaga was explicitly created when Squaresoft showed a lack of interest in turning Xenogears into a series, prompting creator Tetsuya Takahashi and his team to form their own studio called Monolith Soft and make a Continuity Reboot under Bandai Namco. And while the Xenoblade Chronicles series didn't begin as such — Monolith Soft's new owners, Nintendo, just thought the "Xeno" name would be a cool Production Throwback — it would also go on to become a successor to both Saga and Gears, sharing similar plot elements and themes to those past projects (After the End setting, heavy Gnostic references, super weapons in the form of young women, etc.) while incorporating a number of ideas and concepts that the writers wanted to explore in those prior games but weren't able to due to the production issues that plagued them. | |

The producers of Walking with Dinosaurs wanted to continue making spin-offs once The BBC, who apparently owns the brand itself, lost interest. However, the format is generic enough that the producers could simply produce them under a different name and use Advertising by Association. Prehistoric Park is effectively an expanded version of the Chased by Dinosaurs specials, this time directly incorporating time travel into the plot and adding a B-story set in the present day. That's because the two series share the same production company (Impossible Pictures), Producer (Jasper James), and presenter (Nigel Marven). However, Prehistoric Park aired on ITV, one of the BBC's rivals. March of the Dinosaurs, also produced by Jasper James and aired on ITV, uses the Walking with Dinosaurs format. |

Both were created by Hideki Kamiya, both share over the top action, and both have styles of attacking where mixing it up grants a higher score at the end of each section/chapter. The Kamiya-era Devil May Cry received another spiritual successor in the form of Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance; just replace Demons with Cyborgs and Giant Robots.Note Which becomes Hilarious in Hindsight when it came into direct competition with a post-Kamiya Dm C Devil May Cry For further irony, the "reboot", DmC: Devil May Cry, has combat and controls that owe more to developer Ninja Theory's prior game Heavenly Sword instead of earlier Devil May Cry titles. To the point that many fans jokingly called DmC, Heavenly Sword 2. |

Astral Chain: Bayonetta 3 takes many of the elements from Astral Chain to the next level. Infernal Demons function similarly to the Legions but are at a much larger scale. Both function on a magic meter which causes them to disappear if it runs out or if they take too much damage. Pressing ZL at the end of a combo with perfect timing activates a powerful finisher similar to the Sync Attacks with Legions. Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon continues with the Astral Chain influence, specifically controlling two characters at once. Cereza is controlled with the left Joy-Con, while Cheshire is controlled with the right. |

The Final Fantasy games set in the Ivalice universe (including Vagrant Story, which technically isn't a Final Fantasy game) are successors to Quest's Ogre Battle franchise as created by Yasumi Matsuno. It started with Final Fantasy Tactics being the Final Fantasy equivalent to Tactics Ogre (the title even being pointed out in interviews as the first note of similarity)note This is actually coincidental, Sakaguchi had Square trademark the name Final Fantasy Tactics in 1993, two years before Tactics Ogre was released, with the intent of making a strategy RPG that he was never actually able to get around to. with its conception as a matter of serendipitous timing: Hironobu Sakaguchi was impressed with Tactics Ogre, learned Matsuno had recently left Quest, and offered him a job at Square. Matsuno saw this as an opportunity to become a Promoted Fanboy and work on Final Fantasy, so he accepted and a strategy game was one of the proposed projects available to him. He quickly took that up and brought in his Production Posse from Tactics Ogre (graphics director Hiroshi Minagawa, character designer Akihiko Yoshida, and composers Hitoshi Sakimoto and Masaharu Iwata), who would go on to become the foundation for further Ivalice games. However, Matsuno didn't fully abandon Ogre Battle as Square eventually bought Quest in 2000, allowing him to work on both series even after going freelance as he wrote new story content for Tactics Ogre when it got remade and the Ivalice-related content in Final Fantasy XIV. | |

Quintel himself notes that Close Enough makes use of the same comedic style and rough format of "mundane situations escalate to ridiculous, often life-threatening events", but with the plots now geared to reflect the lives of people in their 30s, as opposed to Regular Show's plots reflecting people in their 20s. | |

Back 4 Blood was heavily advertised as this, often with tagline "by the creators of Left 4 Dead", both being Co-Op Multiplayer zombie shooters with emphasis on teamwork and procedural level design honed by an AI "Game Director". Both Left 4 Dead and Back 4 Blood were created by the same studio, first as indie studio Turtle Rock Studios before Left 4 Dead was picked up by Valve as a parent company/publisher that rechristened them "Valve South", though after the release of Left 4 Dead 2, they split with Valve retaining the Left 4 Dead IP, returning to Turtle Rock and producing Back 4 Blood as themselves. | |

The Accidental Space Spy is a successor to Hitmen for Destiny by the same author. The setting and characters are different, but they both explore how Bizarre Alien Biology might come about through evolution, and rely on farce. | |

Game Builder Garage to the Nintendo Labo garage. This new title includes a large amount of new tutorial content wrapped around the same tools from Labo Garage to teach the player more about game development. Furthermore, several objects from the Labo games appear as Fancy Objects. | |

The team behind 1998's The Count of Monte Cristo (actor Gérard Depardieu, director Josée Dayan and screenwriter Didier Decoin) made a Honoré de Balzac biopic in 1999, Les Misérables in 2000 and The Accursed Kings in 2005. All are prestige French TV miniseries (and three of them are set in the 19th century). Didier Decoin also wrote 2002's Napoléon (which also starred Depardieu). | |

Cannon Dancer is one to the original Strider, created by the same planner (Kouichi Yotsui) after he left Capcom and was asked to do a "Strider-like" game by his new company (Mitchell Corporation). The similarities in gameplay, style and story are so big even the staff referred to it as "Strider Hiryu Part II", and while Yotsui is adamant to call it a sequel, in later years he has relented somewhat and called it "his" version of Strider 2. | |

Many of the developers who worked on both GoldenEye and Perfect Dark left Rare to form a new company, Free Radical Design, and developed the TimeSplitters series, which further iterates on the gameplay from the former two games. | |

Yooka-Laylee was made by many former Rare developers who left following the decision of their parent company, Xbox Game Studios, to shift the company towards Kinect games and neglect their existing IPs, such as Banjo-Kazooie, which Yooka-Laylee is patterned after. Its sequel, Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair, takes after Donkey Kong Country, another Rare series. | |

Bodycount (2011) is widely considered this to Black, but as is often the case this does require an asterisk. While the project lead of Bodycount was the co-lead of Black (and also happened to be named Black, further cementing the association), by his own admission he was primarily responsible for the game's foundational structure rather than how it played, and also left Bodycount midway through development due to its Troubled Production, being listed in the credits only under "special thanks". Besides him, the major overlaps in the dev teams for Bodycount and Black seem to be the graphics programmer and the two A.I. programmers, rather than anyone associated with level design or gameplay. | |

Shantae (2002): An side-scrolling adventure platformer starring a young teenaged heroine designed by WayForward Technologies is an unofficial follow up to their licensed Sabrina games for the Game Boy Color. The three games all share a game engine and similar art and spritework. Shantae even shares the same walk cycle animation as Sabrina. | |

Ratchet & Clank was Insomniac Games breaking away from the inherent limitations of Spyro the Dragon, particularly that he was a quadruped, meaning he couldn't pick anything up. Notably, the second game had him spit and gave him various Powerups, while the third game introduced four playable side-characters, all of whom were bipeds. Insomniac's first project after that? Ratchet & Clank (2002), starring a biped whose main gimmick was holding weapons and gadgets that Spyro never could. | |

Argylle is pretty clearly a Spiritual Successor to the Kingsman films, being a Matthew Vaughn-directed spy film that's sprinkled with Affectionate Parody of the genre, includes some of its cast (Samuel L. Jackson, Sofia Boutella), boasts the same kind of flashy action setpieces (in the climax in particular), throws a seemingly normal person into the world of espionage, and has a few twists and double-twists. Kingsman is even referenced in The Stinger. | |

Bayonetta 3 takes many of the elements from Astral Chain to the next level. Infernal Demons function similarly to the Legions but are at a much larger scale. Both function on a magic meter which causes them to disappear if it runs out or if they take too much damage. Pressing ZL at the end of a combo with perfect timing activates a powerful finisher similar to the Sync Attacks with Legions. | |

Shadowverse was primarily designed by Cygames as a response to the failure of Rage of Bahamut in the west, by reusing the card game format in a package that would receive a better response globally (that is to say, one that was a bit closer in rules and play style to Magic: The Gathering-style card games, and most specifically Hearthstone). | |

New Game!, Shotaro Tokuno's previous manga, was published in Manga Time Kirara (which is best known for its iyashikei works), yet it got some flack for having iyashikei-unfriendly story arcs where moe girls are pitted against each other in competition and have to suffer emotional losses. His next series, IDOL × IDOL STORY! (published on Kirara's online-only sister site Comic Fuz) has a premise that is nothing but moe girls being pitted against each other and forced to suffer emotional losses. In retrospect, the competition arcs in New Game! seem like a dry run for IDOL x IDOL STORY! | |

Zero Punctuation ran from 2007 to 2023, reaching its conclusion when creator Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw resigned from The Escapist in solidarity with the chief-in-editor, Nick Calandra, who was fired by the website's corporate owners, Gamur Group. Yahtzee immediately expressed his desire to continue doing a weekly game review show along with its sister series of editorials, but due to him not owning the rights to Zero Punctuation, it would instead become Fully Ramblomatic (the sister editorial series becoming Semi Ramblomatic) as part of the Second Wind channel, formed alongside other former creators of The Escapist. Ironically enough, Fully Ramblomatic is the name of Yahtzee's longtime personal blog and was originally the title of the first two video reviews he did before being picked up by The Escapist, so in a way, the successor is also Revisiting the Roots. | |

The Good Hunter, to The Night Unfurls. Written by the same author, StaffSergeant, both fics revolve around a stoic, celibate, overpowered, anti-heroic protagonist from Bloodborne interacting with a fantasy setting (Kuroinu and MGE respectively) that has its originally heavy fanservice toned down, as well as more plot than the original canon. Said protagonists even have the same name (Cyril/Kyril Sutherland). | |

Bullet Witch is one to the Cavia's own Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex video game for the PlayStation 2 and shares the same team behind it. Both games share third-person shooting gameplay elements, however, they differ in that Bullet Witch is an original IP focuses more on run-and-gun action and features spell-casting, while the Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex game is a licensed game has an emphasis on platforming and features the ability to hack enemy cyborgs and terminals. | |
