The events at the start of each route are helpfully named simply for what route they are. [[spoiler: Chapter 3 has three routes, Planepgear, Lastnita, and Dual Small, Chapter 4 has two with Planeptune and Lastation routes, and finally Chapter 5 has two as well with the Helping C-Sha and Helping S-Sha routes.]] The chosen routes also end up determining a few of the Sub Events in the following Chapters, meaning Chapter 6 will also have slight variations in it before the game gets back on a singular path.

* MarathonLevel: The Neptral Tower is an infinite dungeon generating its floors based on any dungeon you've visited so far, with minibosses set on every 10th floor. Over the course of the game you'll also unlock the True Neptral Tower and Extreme Neptral Tower. Each one provides a trophy after moving to the 101st floor, at which point it stops bothering to display the floor count. They also lock you out of all items and equipment except for what was already equipped and restrict your starting level to prevent steamrolling the challenge, Neptral Tower's starting level is 30, True Neptral Tower's is 15, and Extreme Neptral Tower's is 1.

* InfinityMinusOneSword: While exploring the Arfoire's Best Company dungeon you can find vending machines that sell various games she's made. They almost all come with the exceptionally powerful [[LagCancel All Cancel Optimization]] ability, but also waste slots on redundant Break, Power, and/or Rapid Cancel Optimization. Additionally you can't produce DLC for them to unlock the fourth ability slot since they're not games produced by Victory, so while they're powerful and much easier to get they're weaker than some of the best possible discs you could make for yourself if you're willing to put in the effort.

The Gold Third do not work for any of the Goddesses, additionally S-Sha's territory is on the same island as Leanbox while K-Sha's is in what is usually part of Lastation's region.

** Race has Older Neptune challenged to a race against a monster waiting by the dungeon's entrance, and takes place on an alternate looped course unrelated to the dungeon itself with gimmicks to provide free boosts, grind you to a halt, or recharge the bike's normal Boost ability with the goal of exhausting the monster and then overtaking them to reap the rewards for the course.
** The Bike itself can be customized to improve Boost efficiency, turning ability, and acceleration through the use of the same cosmetic accessories that can be equipped to the characters themselves or various paint jobs.

Removed some examples that were already moved to the Character pages (Main CPUs, Other CPUs, Gold Third, and Other Antagonists)


* BareMidriffsAreFeminine:
** Both Older Neptune's Gen. Unit outfit and Reedio's HDD form have a black two-piece leotard.
** Jagaa's outfit in both human and Goddess form exposes the lower part of her abdomen, though she's hardly feminine.



* DarkIsNotEvil:
** Jagaa is the first [[spoiler:[[VideoGame/HyperdimensionNeptuniaVictory Tari]]]] Goddess to be a hero, even though her outfit (both as a human and as a Goddess) is black like [[spoiler:Rei]].
** Reedio's Goddess form consists of a black [[BareMidriffsAreFeminine midriff]] and while she's given a more flirtatious personality, she's still unambiguously heroic.
** F-Sha is shown wearing a suit of armour that is colored grey, and she's portrayed as being cold, unfeeling, and threatening. Despite this, she's never shown working for the Pirate Makers (though she does work with Croire at the beginning) and later on becomes an AloofAlly but still ultimately heroic.



* EvilWearsBlack: Besides Arfoire and Croire, the three other Pirate Makers that were introduced in the 2nd trailer, Copy the Hard, Copy the Code and Copy the Art, all wear black clothing.
* GratuitousEnglish: Jagaa's "Do the math!" [[CharacterCatchphrase Catchphrase]] is spoken in English even in the Japanese version. Older Neptune also says "Ride On!" when she gets on her CoolBike.
* GoodWearsWhite:
** Pippih, one of the main heroines of the game, has a portion of her hair and outfit in human form colored in white. Her Goddess form is entirely white as well.
** Likewise, Reedio wears a white lab coat, shorts and socks, and her hair is white. She's also one of the main heroines of the game.
* LightIsNotGood: Both Copy the Code and Copy the Art, two of the main antagonists of the game, are shown to have a portion of their clothing be white.



* MeaningfulName:
** The Failure Goddesses have their names derived from the consoles their based on: Pippih is derived from the '''[[UsefulNotes/{{Pippin}} Pippi]]'''[[UsefulNotes/{{Pippin}} n]], Jagaa is derived from the UsefulNotes/{{Atari|Jaguar}} '''[[UsefulNotes/AtariJaguar Jagua]]'''[[UsefulNotes/AtariJaguar r]], and Reedio is derived from the '''[[UsefulNotes/ThreeDOInteractiveMultiplayer 3DO]]''' [[UsefulNotes/ThreeDOInteractiveMultiplayer Interactive Multiplayer]].
** F-Sha, the quasi-Gold Third member introduced in the 2nd trailer, has the first initial of her name be derived from the company she's based on, '''Creator/{{F|romSoftware}}'''[[Creator/FromSoftware romSoftware]]. And much like the other Gold Third members, the "-Sha" in her name is a reference to ''kabushiki gai'''sha''''', which means "company Ltd." in Japanese.
* MoeAnthropomorphism:
** The Failure Goddesses represent the 3 failed video game consoles of UsefulNotes/{{the fifth generation|OfConsoleVideoGames}}.
*** Pippih is based on the Creator/{{Apple}} UsefulNotes/{{Pippin}}. Her IdiotHair is in the style of the Apple logo.
*** Jagaa is based on the UsefulNotes/AtariJaguar. Both her boots and the lock on her belt are an upside down version of the Atari logo and her pointed hair buns and "tail" (which is in the style of an USB cable) are akin to a Jaguar. The WolverineClaws she uses in battle are shaped like the system's infamously bulky controller. Even her [[CharacterCatchphrase catchphrase]], "Do the Math!", is a reference to the slogan used by Atari to promote the console.
*** Reedio is based on the UsefulNotes/ThreeDOInteractiveMultiplayer. The buttons on her lab coat, as well as her hairpins, resemble that of the [=3DO=] logo (a red cube, a blue rectangle and a yellow spear).
** The 2nd trailer introduces F-Sha, a pseudo-Gold Third member who represents Creator/FromSoftware, a triple A Japanese video game developer known for critically and commercially acclaimed titles like the ''VideoGame/DarkSouls'' franchise, ''VideoGame/{{Bloodborne}}'', ''VideoGame/ArmoredCore'', and ''VideoGame/EldenRing''. She wears a grey suit of armour and is equipped with a [[{{BFS}} huge sword]], which is a recurring trait that most characters from ''Dark Souls'' have.

[[note]] This wouldn't be the first time though, as the preceding spin-off title ''Dimension Tripper Neptune: TOP NEP'', a RecursiveAdaptation of the anime, also uses her design. [[/note]]

** HDD Pippih has a yellow halo with a "P" in the middle.
** HDD Jagaa has a red halo that is shaped like an eye.
** HDD Reedio has a ''square'' halo with an inconsistent color scheme.

*** Jagaa is based on the UsefulNotes/AtariJaguar. Both her boots and the lock on her belt are an upside down version of the Atari logo and her pointed hair buns and "tail" (which is in the style of an USB cable) are akin to a Jaguar.

Updating the entry since the game's release. Moved some tropes to the Character pages (which I'll make now). CPU and HDD are reffered as Goddesses in the game proper (might change if it gets released in the US though)Removed Croire's Dark Is Not Evil and Heel Fact Turn since she's still a villain. F-sha isn't a playable character and does start of as antagonistic (sort of). And Rei's hair isn't black.

''Neptunia Game Maker R:Evolution'' (''Choujigen Game Neptune: [=GameMaker=] R:Evolution'') is an upcoming JRPG in the ''VideoGame/{{Neptunia}}'' series and the fourteenth spin-off game overall. The game will be developed by Creator/CompileHeart and Creator/IdeaFactory and is slated to release in Japan on August 10th, 2023 for the UsefulNotes/Playstation4, UsefulNotes/Playstation5, and UsefulNotes/NintendoSwitch alongside the Switch port of ''VideoGame/NeptuniaSistersVsSisters'', and in the US and Europe sometime in 2024 for the aforementioned consoles, though the UsefulNotes/{{Steam}} port has yet to be announced.

The game takes place in an AlternateUniverse that is different from the main Gamindustri. In this universe, there is a war between each faction that are known as the "Game Makers"; each goddess will compete in a race for the "Market Share", and the one last standing with it will become victorious. Introducing in this game are the "Failure Goddesses" trio, Pippih, Jagaa, and Reedio, who are left to wither and fade into obscurity after their attempt to win the Market Share from the other goddesses had failed. That is, until [[VideoGame/MegadimensionNeptuniaVII Older Neptune]] comes crashing through the windows with her motorcycle, and tries to aid the three goddesses with their loss by becoming the president of their company in hopes of reviving them.

'''Previews:''' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jTELn6FAq7I Teaser]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A6qnfOpNNvc 1st Trailer]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2eg0ahAiGU 2nd Trailer]] [[note]] This is a re-upload from Compile Heart's official [=YouTube=] channel; the original trailer was privated. [[/note]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hw1thGJ62X8&t Gameplay Showcase]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8cUBa_DpJs Opening Movie]], and [[https://youtu.be/PAE-Mr9_ZxA US release Trailer]]

!! Tropes that apply to this game
* AlternateSelf: The 2nd trailer states that the 4 main [=CPUs=] and CPU Candidates are the ones from Pippih, Jagaa and Reedio's dimension. While they don't look different from their Hyperdimension counterparts, here the 4 goddesses are referred to as the "First Makers" while the Candidates are referred to as the "Second Sisters".
* ArtEvolution: The art in this game is given a major upgrade compared to the [[VideoGame/NeptuniaSistersVsSisters previous game]], due to Tsunako returning as chief character designer of the game since her departure from the series in late 2019, having last designed the characters all the way back in 2017 with ''VideoGame/CyberdimensionNeptunia4GoddessesOnline''.
* BareMidriffsAreFeminine:
** Both Older Neptune's Gen. Unit outfit and Reedio's HDD form have a black two-piece leotard.
** Jagaa's outfit in both human and HDD form exposes the lower part of her abdomen, though she's hardly feminine.
* BarelyChangedDubName: Idea Factory International's localization of the game renames Pipi, Jarga and Lideo to Pippih, Jagaa and Reedio.
* BoyishShortHair: Jagaa is a stoic tomboy with a short black and white haircut that turns blonde when transformed.
* TheBusCameBack:
** The Gold Third return in this game, after being PutOnTheBus since their debut game, which was ''eight years ago''. [[note]] They ''did'' make an appearance in ''Sisters'', but only as Chipper icons. [[/note]] In this game, they have their own factions on par with the rest of the goddesses.
** Croire returns as Older Neptune's FairyCompanion, having been last seen on ''VII''.
** Older Neptune herself returns in this game since her last appearance in ''VII'', this time as [[ADayInTheLimelight the main character]].
* CatGirl: While not actual cat ears and a tail, Jagaa's pointed hair buns and USB cable "tail" invokes this, appropiate for a character based on [[UsefulNotes/AtariJaguar a feline-named console]].
* ColorCodedCharacters: All of the promotional videos of the game establish the color schemes of our main heroines: Older Neptune is {{purple|IsPowerful}}, Pippih is [[VibrantOrange orange]], Jagaa is {{red|Is heroic}}, and Reedio is {{blue|Is heroic}} (originally [[GoodWearsWhite white]] in the teaser and the first trailer).
* DarkIsNotEvil:
** Jagaa is the first [[spoiler:[[VideoGame/HyperdimensionNeptuniaVictory Tari]]]] CPU to be a hero, even though her hair and outfit (both in human and in HDD) are black like [[spoiler:Rei]].
** Reedio's HDD form consists of a black [[BareMidriffsAreFeminine midriff]] and while she's given a more flirtatious personality, she's still unambiguously heroic.
** Croire still wears her black outfit, and while the trailers and opening sequence don't ''explicitly'' state that she's the "good guy", they don't bring up her already established sociopathy either; at worst she's an AntiHero.
* EvilWearsBlack: Besides Arfoire, the three new antagonists introduced in the 2nd trailer, Copy the Hard, Copy the Code and Copy the Art, all wear black clothing.
* GoodWearsWhite:
** Pippih, one of the main heroines of the game, has a portion of her hair and outfit in human form colored in white. Her HDD form is entirely white as well.
** Likewise, Reedio wears a white lab coat, shorts and socks, and her hair is white. She's also one of the main heroines of the game.
* HeelFaceTurn: Implied with Croire. While she isn't ''completely'' reformed, the trailers and promotional material makes no mention of her ManipulativeBastard tendencies she had in her debut game and in ''VII'', making her seem more of a TricksterMentor to Older Neptune.
* IdiotHair: Pippih has a small string on the top of her hair that is in the style of the Apple logo. The color of her string can change depending on her form (orange in human form; light green in HDD)
* LightIsGood: In addition to wearing [[GoodWearsWhite white clothing]], Pippih's HDD form is made up of bright colors -- the yellow UnusualHalo on the top of her head, the light green wings on her back, and the left side of her hair being light peach. Additionally, the wings and halo on her design resemble that of an angel.
* LightIsNotGood: In a FreezeFrameBonus of the 2nd trailer, both Copy the Code and Copy the Art, who are the main antagonists of the game, are shown to have a portion of their clothing be white.
* MadScientist: The first trailer presents Reedio as a {{Cloudcuckoolander}} wearing a white lab coat. Her official bio even states that she's a "mad scientist who spews venom with a smile".
* MeaningfulName: The Failed Goddesses have their names derived from the consoles their based on: Pippih is derived from the '''[[UsefulNotes/{{Pippin}} Pippi]]'''[[UsefulNotes/{{Pippin}} n]], Jagaa is derived from the UsefulNotes/{{Atari|Jaguar}} '''[[UsefulNotes/AtariJaguar Jagua]]'''[[UsefulNotes/AtariJaguar r]], and Reedio is derived from the '''[[UsefulNotes/ThreeDOInteractiveMultiplayer 3DO]]''' [[UsefulNotes/ThreeDOInteractiveMultiplayer Interactive Multiplayer]].
* MoeAnthropomorphism: The failed goddesses represent the 3 failed video game consoles of UsefulNotes/{{the fifth generation|OfConsoleVideoGames}}.
** Pippih is based on the Creator/{{Apple}} UsefulNotes/{{Pippin}}. Her IdiotHair is in the style of the Apple logo.
** Jagaa is based on the UsefulNotes/AtariJaguar. Both her boots and the lock on her belt are an upside down version of the Atari logo and her pointed hair buns and "tail" (which is in the style of an USB cable) are akin to a Jaguar. Her WolverineClaws she uses in battle are shaped like the system's infamously bulky controller.
** Reedio is based on the UsefulNotes/ThreeDOInteractiveMultiplayer. The buttons on her lab coat, as well as her hairpins, resemble that of the [=3DO=] logo (a red cube, a blue rectangle and a yellow spear).
* PenName: "Pippih-P" for Pippih.
* PowerTrio: The Failure Goddesses. Pippih is the confident [[TheLeader Leader]] (until Adult Neptune showed up), Jagaa is TheStoic [[TheBigGuy Big Girl]], and Reedio is a DitzyGenius [[TheSmartGuy Smart Girl]].
* RetCanon: Older Neptune's Generator Unit outfit that was created for [[Anime/HyperdimensionNeptuniaTheAnimation the anime's]] 3rd OVA, ''Nep-Nep Festival'', would be re-incorporated in this game. [[note]] This wouldn't be the first time though, as the preceding spin-off title ''Dimension Tripper Neptune: TOP NEP'', a RecursiveAdaptation of the anime, also uses her design. [[/note]]
* SuperMode: Pippih, Jagaa, and Reedio are able to activate their HDD forms when in battle. However, unlike the other [=CPUs=] in the series, their overall appearance (hairstyle and clothing) and personalities remain unchanged; they don’t even have ''names'' for their HDD forms.
* TokenMiniMoe: Pippih is noticeably shorter and more petite than her two friends, Jagaa and Reedio.
* TokenWholesome: While all of the [=CPUs=] are given a LeotardOfPower when transformed, Pippih's HDD form retains the skirt she had in human form.
* TomboyishPonytail: Reedio has a messy ponytail that is tied in a hairpin.
* UnusualHalo: The Failed Goddesses are given halos in their HDD forms that are designed differently from a traditional halo:
** HDD Pippih has a yellow halo with a "P" in the middle.
** HDD Jagaa has a red halo that is shaped like an eye.
** HDD Reedio has a ''square'' halo with an inconsistent color scheme.
