History Trivia / Nasuverse

* TheWikiRule: [[http://typemoon.wikia.com/wiki/TYPE-MOON_Wiki The TYPE-MOON Wiki]].

* AscendedFanNickname: Officially, there is no actual all-encompassing name serving as the umbrella for how all these works share mechanics and characters even as they take place at different points in time across a multiverse with the closest being "World of ''Fate''", "World of ''Tsukihime''", or "Universe/World(s) of TYPE-MOON". "Nasuverse" came to be the fandom catch-all since this multiverse is derived from his worldbuilding/writing and other works like those by Meteo Hoshizora aren't intended to be set in Nasu's setting. Hikaru Sakurai's afterword in ''LightNovel/LordElMelloiIICaseFiles'' volume 7 acknowledged that "Nasuverse" is how Western fans refer to Creator/TypeMoon's TheVerse for Nasu's works.

*** Nakata has been featured in ''LightNovel/TheGardenOfSinners'' (as Souren Araya), ''VideoGame/MeltyBlood'' (as Nrvnqsr Chaos/Neco Arc Chaos), in ''Anime/{{Canaan}}''[[note]]Though not a Nasuverse work, it was under Type-Moon's creative control[[/note]] (as Jin) ''VideoGame/FateGrandOrder'' (as King Hassan), ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'' (and its many spinoffs/adaptations as Kirei Kotomine), and ''VideoGame/CapsuleServant'' (as the narrator).

** In the same article linked above, ''LightNovel/{{DDD}}'' isn't getting a third volume until after the ''Mahou Tsukai no Yoru'' series is completed.

* HumbleBeginnings: As the cornerstone of Nasu's known visual novel works, the original ''Tsukihime'' visual novel was entirely self-funded and self-published by Nasu's doujin circle as he sold his merch to continue renting his apartment while unemployed and write, while one person each did programming, art, and music in their spare time between work. Its runaway success at Comiket got the ball rolling for everyone to now work on making games/books/manga about Nasu's ideas full time, resulting in an uncontested CashCowFranchise in the FateSeries. It would come full circle with the ''Tsukihime'' remake reflecting this new level of success. It has a vastly expanded story, high production values in art and music with several artists and musicians working full time to bring the game to life, fully voiced dialogue, and two animated opening movies by Creator/{{ufotable}}, all making it a far cry from the original PC doujin game it originated from.

** Kinoko Nasu is a case where he's much comfortable with written discussion only in a controlled environment, having used his long-running blog of the 90s and magazine interviews as his main avenue for communicating with fans. He only represents himself with the AuthorAvatar of a mushroom (a pun on his first name being also read as "mushroom") and [[http://i2.wp.com/fatede-go.com/wp-content/uploads/DUjLjsTg.jpg only one known photo]] of him is of the back of his head. He's not going to drop the anonymity any time soon, as he's spoken about how he enjoys being able to go about conventions without anyone paying attention to him.

** Starting in the 2010s, ''VideoGame/StreetFighterIV'' composer Hideyuki Fukasawa became a frequent collaborator for Type-Moon, as he was the composer for ''VisualNovel/MahouTsukaiNoYoru'', ''Anime/FateStayNightUnlimitedBladeWorks'', the ''Garden of Avalon'' drama CD, ''Anime/FateGrandOrderDivineRealmOfTheRoundTableCamelot'', and ''Tsukihime -A piece of blue glass moon-''

** [[https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/interest/2012-05-18/type-moon-outlines-future-plans Two sequels]] to ''VisualNovel/MahouTsukaiNoYoru'' were announced in 2012, turning it into its own series. The second game is said to be the "earnest" beginning of the series. Progress has not actually started until the ''Tsukihime'' remake is finished.

* LineToGod: [[http://www.typemoon.org/bbb/diary/ The BAMBOO BROOM DIARY]] is Nasu's official diary where he posts some of his own thoughts and behind-the-scene details about relevant topics. It doesn't have any archive functions, though, so you need to look for secondhand sources to find older posts.

** [[WhatCouldHaveBeen Originally]], there was going to be a ''VisualNovel/{{Tsukihime}}'' sequel, ''Tsukihime II: The Dark Six'', but those plans fell through. Now, Nasu intends to remake ''Tsukihime''... which has been said to have entered the testing phase as of the year 2018 (six years after it was formally announced). So far, we've gotten character redesigns of the main protagonists, new character Noel, and the new setting in Tokyo, but that's about it. It finally materialized after a decade of waiting, as it was released in summer 2021 on the very last day of 2020, making it SavedFromDevelopmentHell.

** Nasu seems to have a liking for Creator/JoujiNakata and Creator/MamikoNoto as they've been cast in multiple roles for various stories he's written.

** OKSG as one of the main producers for ''Mahou Tsukai no Hako'' is even more reclusive, only publicly discussing their relationship with Type-Moon and very little is known about their personal life.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: It was revealed by Kazuya Niino (creator of ''VideoGame/EtrianOdyssey'' and ''VideoGame/TraumaCenter'') in a January 2020 interview for [=4Gamer=] that Naoki Yoshida of ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIV'' fame was thinking in 2018 of making a game for Type-Moon. Two years later, it seems it didn't come to anything as Niino ended up taking initiative by forming a game development studio for Type-Moon (presumably Yoshida is still committed to ''FFXIV'' for the foreseeable future). Still, one can't help but wonder ''how'' a collaboration between Yoshida and Nasu would've turned out.

** And with no indication of when ''this'' may happen, Nasu has also voiced interest in remaking the Fate route of ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'' due to OldShame of how he wrote Shirou and Saber's romance.
