It does have a lot of cyberpunk themes but our RP kind of takes a more dystopian tone while Dimension W seems more utopian, though in sort of a twisted way.
Shell and Mira do resemble each other in some ways, if only aesthetically (at least based on the description you gave me for doing that artwork).
This is probably the main series I'm going to follow this season.

Yeah, we're more doing the classic sort of dystopian cyberpunk after Gibson's style, than more upbeat things for the future. Though I'm pretty sure there's something rotten in New Tesla Energy.

What's Gibson's style? Is that a reference to a cyberpunk author?

It is. William Gibson, to be specific. He's sort of the guy who started the genre. Wrote Neuromancer and the rest of the Sprawl trilogy.

The RP definitely has more of that kind of vibe. I would say it doesn't seem totally dystopian though. It seems about halfway between what Dimension W depicts and a Phillip K. d*** novel.
Not that it's a bad thing.
