* DoingItForTheArt: Sometimes it's easy to forget that all the work put into [=DTG2=], all the hours, words, images, and planning, didn't produce a cent. It was all made for the purpose of telling a story - hopefully a good one.

* FanNickname: One-Winged Angel Kirby was commonly abbreviated to "OWAK", and its later Soul form would become "OWAKS." When Doc Scratch became the Psi-Godmodder, it became common for players to refer to him as "Psi-Scratch".

That's just a standard initialism.


* PortmanteauSeriesNickname: Although it's not an anime, Destroy the Godmodder is commonly shortened to "[=DTG=]", the first initial of each word in the title.

* MilestoneCelebration: Used for special attacks up to the 11 thousandth post in [=DTG2=] and as far as known in the tvtropes session.

to:

* AscendedFanon: After [=DTG1=] had ended and the thread was still around, just not updating, pionoplayer made a post about a series of alternate timelines he found relating to the DTG universe. Although it wasn't canon, [=TwinBuilder=] picked up the idea of one of the timelines he detailed, which was "dark and full of mimes". Those mimes became a plot point in Trial 5 of [=DTG2=], serving as that Trial's boss, The Bleak.
* CreatorBacklash: [=TwinBuilder=] has stated that he dislikes the sheer amount of Homestuck that plagued the first half of [=DTG2=] in retrospect, even though it was what gave the game a plot in the first place.
* [[CreatorsFavoriteEpisode Creator's Favorite Event:]] The events [=TwinBuilder=] liked the most were One Hour (the End of Year 1 storypost), Trial 6, Trial 7, the End of Act 4, and Act 5.
* DoingItForTheArt: Sometimes it's easy to forget that all the work put into [=DTG2=], all the hours, words, images, and planning, didn't produce a cent. It was all made for the purpose of telling a story - hopefully a good one.
* FanNickname: One-Winged Angel Kirby was commonly abbreviated to "OWAK", and its later Soul form would become "OWAKS." When Doc Scratch became the Psi-Godmodder, it became common for players to refer to him as "Psi-Scratch".
* InspirationForTheWork: [=TT2000=] has stated that he got the idea for Destroy the Godmodder from other "Destroy the X" topics such as "Destroy the Tower".
* MeaningfulReleaseDate: Destroy the Godmodder 2 was released on September 1st. Since the game's time marches in lockstep with real time, September 1 actually means something in the game - 9/1/2013 was when the game started, 9/1/14 was the private unveiling of Project Binary's powers and the date when the players became enemies of the world, and 9/1/15 was the unveiling of a monument made for the players after the world realized that they were good all along.
* MilestoneCelebration: Used for special attacks up to the 11 thousandth When a milestone is reached in terms of post count (1,000 posts, 2,000 posts, etc.) in [=DTG2=], the person who named that post will have their attack supercharged. This was used up until the 10,000th post was reached, since it soon became obvious that milestones would lose their charm. It's also been used in the TV Tropes game.
* PortmanteauSeriesNickname: Although it's not an anime, Destroy the Godmodder is commonly shortened to "[=DTG=]", the first initial of each word in the title.
* SerendipityWritesThePlot: The entire existence of Binary [[spoiler:(who became one of the game's most important villains later on)]] was due to [=TwinBuilder=]'s computer breaking down, preventing him from being able to update the game.
* SeriesHiatus:
[=DTG2=] and as far as has been known to go on hiatus. The first major hiatus occurred when Twin's computer broke and he couldn't update, which became Intermission 1. The second major hiatus occurred in the tvtropes session.middle of the Scratch's Manor sidequest, when the Minecraft Forums moved platforms and messed with the coding and fonts of the game. The third was when Twin had to go on vacation, planned exactly at the End of Act 2 and leading right into Intermission 2. The fourth was for Intermission 3, the fifth was for when another major update was released on the Minecraft Forums that prevented updates from coming out, and the sixth was in the middle of Trial 6, when Twin needed to do important things in real life. The latter two hiatuses were explicitly to create the final two cutscenes of the game, the End of Act 4 and Act 5. When all was said and done, the game finished exactly two years to the day it began.
* TeasingCreator: When it comes to future plot points and what's happening next with regards to the game's story, [=TwinBuilder=] has been known to be frustratingly vague, giving answers in the form of riddles - or just not answering at all.
* TrollingCreator: This too. Twin's been known to mislead the playerbase, drive them to conclusions which aren't necessarily accurate... and then completely demolish what everyone thought was true later on.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Many examples that will come later.
* TheWikiRule: Sure enough, there's a Destroy the Godmodder wiki created by [=TwinBuilder=] himself.
* WordOfGod: What the [=GM=] says is law.
* WritingByTheSeatOfYourPants: Many parts of [=DTG2=] were entirely ad-libbed as Twin was typing them up, such as the introduction of Homestuck characters into the story, the entire Robomonkey plotline of Act 2, the television broadcasts in Scratch's Manor, the entire idea of Project Binary, the deatils of One Hour, the details of the Shattered Bill storypost, the Godmodder's backstory, the Mate, the Ancestral Bone storypost, the mimes, and the entire existence of the Shadow. In addition, the details of many gameplay events were thought of while Twin was typing that up, so it's not necessarily restricted to story.
