Hmm...

So what I'm going to post is probably controversial in some manner, but I was curious about something when I learned about this.

Just late last year, someone I talked to on Discord showed me a scan of something from the Demonbane Series (made by Nitropluz's Jin Haganeya) that showed a certain place of the same name as the one from the Novel Anthology but slightly different that is the "Underground World" or Magai, but in that one it's called "Chikamagai".

Turns out, the scan is from the latest book of Demonbane called "Demonbane Fanzin" or something that showed some chart of worlds and settings of the series, and in it, it had the Steampunk Series mentioned as well as one of the games from Super Robot Wars UX.

^Scan in question that someone on another forum posted for DMB series stuff.

I was surprised that Haganeya even did this as I have gotten my hands on a magazine that had this interview where he and Sakurai have known each other (since Sharnoth) and have hung about and all that, even noting that they've actually notices similarities of the things they wrote in their works or inspiration or...something? But never figured Jin would have Steampunk be connected to his series.

Long story short, what does anyone think of this and does it entail anything for either series or just some nod from one author to another?

If this is by chance inappropriate to post here, my apologies.
