In preparation for its upcoming and highly anticipated new season, Next Global Crisis is introducing a special offer which sounds pretty great, in my opinion. There’s a ton of content available here, for free! Check out the details (and new Season 2 trailer) below.
Announcement from Next Global Crisis
We are now getting close to re-launching the new website and with it the first episode of our second season. As many of you know we offered discounts and early releases to some customers throughout season one. We are now opening that offer to anyone who wants to join.
You will receive discounts of $5 on Episodes and $3 on Mini-Videos (like The Training Room series but a different format) and will be able to get all releases up to 3 days before general release.
What else? If you sign up now you can instantly download a free 27 minute video of alternative angles and deleted moments from Episodes 1-5 and Training Rooms 1-4 of Season One. We will periodically send new free videos as well and so you will receive hundreds of free minutes of footage as long as you remain with us.
There’s more… We are making our comic books available for free to people who join us now, again these will be available at zero cost to you for a period of days before general release. This is to keep you up to date with the story and we plan on building up the amount of comics we release considerably.
We will also be running a Create-A-Character section where you can decide the costume, powers, looks and attitude of a heroine or even a villain, and they will come to life in a standalone video. Details of what to do will be available on sign up.
Lastly, we respect inboxes, you will get an email each time a new product is released alongside any free content, this will not be more than twice a month. It costs me money to send these emails as well, so it’s simply not in my interests to bombard you.
To sign up now and make sure you qualify
for Season Two, Episode One discounts go to:

I didn’t think it was possible, but the production values look to have improved even more! O.O
Very much looking forward to the release won’t even ask about an ETA tho ;)
Using comic books more is a great idea! Saves alot of time footage-wise – and it’s never really been done, tying the comics directly into the videos’ storyline.
.
My suggestion for the character creation would be to add the Heromachine flash app. I’m not sure who owns the rights, but I was under the impression it was fine to embed it in your own site.
Embed that and people can use their creativity to create their own characters, though I’m not sure how they could show you them – perhaps via a dedicated email?
Just a thought ;)
Swampy
Wow, the women look amazing! Can’t wait!
I just wanted to point out in case there was any confusion – If you got an email from me around 48 hours ago about all this you are already going to get it all and don’t need to sign up here.
Swampy – That’s not a bad idea. Of course people can use any application they want, print screen and email to me: nextglobalcrisis@gmail.com and I can show it on Facebook and probably the blog too to show the progress, we actually don’t have that long to design the first one.
If you apply for this on the website and get a blank page after submitting, is this working as intended?
Trailer for Season 2 looks fantastic, can’t wait!
James – Yes, you will get an email a few minutes after that. Just imagine the blank screen as a bright light of inspiration or something.

Will do some more when I’ve got another minute and if there is interest.
Season 2 is looking better than I could of hoped. I am curious about this “Create-A-character” idea, it is very original and sound’s promising. Could you please give a little more information about it?. Who writes the stand alone adventure?, Can we create villain’s male/female?. What aspects of the character do we create?.
Perilforpussycats – All excellent questions. The best thing I can liken it to, and this may go over the heads of some people, but there are quite famous online Superhero games like ‘City of Heroes’ and ‘DC Universe’ etc.. which many people across the world play. To join the game you must create a character, be they Hero or Villain. You decide what they look like (Short, Tall, Slim, Muscular, Dark hair, Light hair etc..) you decide what they wear, what powers and skills they have, and then you enter the game.
What I am offering essentially is the chance for people to do this for real, using a real actor in a professional costume. Where we differ from the game is you can decide if the character is arrogant, innocent, mean and nasty, joyful and pleasant, whatever. You can create a villain if you like who can be male or female, while others perhaps come up with ideas for the heroine who fights them. You may also have script ideas which we will either rule out and give reasons or take into account when writing it.
Once we have a bunch of ideas that we like we will create a poll that only people who have signed up to the discount list can vote on, there we will decide whose idea to make.
Anymore questions feel free. We’ve never done this before either and so we’re quite prepared to help anyone interested through the process. I just felt that if I weren’t making these films then this would be the next best thing, I’d be bothering people with ideas daily I suspect.
Signed up!
I’m interested in NGC series, as I’m drawn to the more brutal perils vs some of the more porn oriented works (Giga).
I’m looking at purchasing either Episode 2 or Training room 5. Are these good representation videos of the quality that NGC gives?
@NGC,
I happen to play CO and DCUO, where I have created some attractive heroines with a more realistic look to them. I’d like to submit these heroines over to NCG…. May I use nextglobalcrisis@gmail.com to submit the pics and bios?
Thanks!
Welcome!
Both of those titles have been reviewed on this site. From my perspective as producer I think they represent our work pretty well.
Please feel free to email me at that address with your ideas.
I’m used to high quality production from NGC, but even I must admit that this is incredible! Can’t wait for the first episode to be released! I think I saw a new heroine or two in there, they look beautiful and I look forward to seeing them incorporated into the story. Can’t wait to see more!
Thanks heaps for the outtakes clip NGC.
How awesome. Makes you appreciate the amount of effort that everyone puts in. I actually didn’t think the hits made contact, just amped up by the sound FX. But the outtakes show things do get a little rough.
It would be fantastic if NGC would offer (for sale) a separate outtakes download with each new episode release.
rangerian – Thanks, our shoots are very hard work but I know that everyone we work with thinks it is worth it if the video is good.
Regarding out-takes… are you saying you were rather pay for them than get them for free? The plan is to send out more videos like this one to the list as a ‘thank you’ for continued support. We’ve given away 27 minutes so far but there are a lot of TR’s and Episodes that we will get around to.
Take note other producers. This is how customers like to be treated. NGC has a fan for life here.
Love the outtakes! It’s cool to see the actresses out of character, shows what a talented bunch they are. Angel’s warm-up routine was hot! Also the trailer looks promising, I saw some familiar faces – Suki in particular looked great – but who is the new blonde with the mask? Looking forward to seeing a lot more of her (and everyone else of course).
@The Latin Intellect – You can’t go wrong with those two, Angel is believable and sexy.
Things seem really improved (and it wasn’t even “easy” as the base was already quite high !), outside scenarios, special FX, this is gonna be great !
Thanks NGC This is by far the best deal for heroine movies I have ever seen. Now not only do I look forward to future episodes but outtakes and comics as well. You guys are brilliant.
AS FOR THE TRAILER!!! Who is the beautiful brunette crawling in silver and black?! ♥ _ ♥ Im in love lol I hope to see a lot more of her! All the fight scenes look intense cant wait to see how Lunar gets the upper hand on Celestia. Great job guys.
@NGC, yes they have commercial value. Secondly an extra revenue stream is always good for business. Not saying I dont appreciate the generous offering, as an event videographer myself, I appreciate money is a good motivator to keep delivering a product/service ;)
I’m glad people are enjoying the preview.
Richard – You will have to wait and see who the masked Blonde is!
Fabio – The dark haired girl in Silver and Black… again, I don’t want to spoil it, but yes we do hope to see a lot more of her, particularly if she proves popular.
I hope people are paying attention to the music on the trailer, it is part of the new theme we had composed and made especially.
Hi i love your work NGC an thank you so much for the outtakes video!
Regarding your site i would like to know when the season 2 will be realesed, more or less and if for this character creation section we can send like storyboards for an episode for the heroine, Thanks and sorry for my english
beast – If you are signed up for discounts then Episode One of season 2 is very close. The general release will follow a few days later but there are far more issues that would delay that than for the discount list. Your English is good, don’t worry.
BTW I did not see any Angel in the trailer. Will she be a part of this season?
Don’t worry about people who aren’t in the trailer, that just means we’ve not shot with them yet. The trailer represents the early part of the series.
The scene where a girl pulled open her shirt at the end of the video .. that was hot keep the awosome work, and i hope you make more superheroine clothes transformations
“Don’t worry about people who aren’t in the trailer, that just means we’ve not shot with them yet. The trailer represents the early part of the series.”
So you don’t have the WHOLE series “in the can” yet as we salivate like starving dogs in anticipation of the FIRST EPISODE?
LOL! I’m afraid not, to do so would bankrupt me pretty swiftly. But hey, the more people that buy the early episodes will be paying for the future Angel video and hopefully we can make it bigger and better than all the others!
You won’t be salivating much longer… if you are on the list that is. I’m sure you are.
“But hey, the more people that buy the early episodes will be paying for the future Angel video and hopefully we can make it bigger and better than all the others!”
Haha, nice! Now that’s the best marketing for a heroine movies company I have ever ever EVER seen pitched! It sold me!
@NGC
I had included a grin, surrounded by angled brackets at the end of my post, but it didn’t show up in the message. Anyway, the comment was intended in jest. I am drooling in anticipation though!
Bert – Don’t worry I could tell. Though it’s a lovely thought getting things done that far ahead!
Chris – LOL!
Received the special offer email this morning. Bought Season 2 Episode 1 immediately.
Watched it as soon as it downloaded.
Utterly brilliant. Terrific production values, ridiculous amounts of tension and the usual high standards of acting and fight choreography. The episode is filled with plenty of peril, some real moments of danger and a real sense of dread.
Even the new title sequence is fantastic. It’s genuinely stirring stuff.
Worth every minute of the wait. If this is how things are going to go on it’s going to be an amazing Season 2. Well done, NGC. You are officially producing some of the best videos in this genre by a huge margin.
Purchased and downloaded it as well. What a fantastic start to the season! Awesome peril and fight choreography. NGC does the best job with the fights of any company. The production seems to have taken a step up since Season 1 and that was hard to top. I love how in NGC the fights are never one sided and the choreography and execution are always amazing. The writing, acting, and directing seems to have even improved too. Can’t wait for more!
Totally awesome is the only way I can describe my thoughts on Season Two’s Episode 1. My lips are sealed, but I to have to echo what the previous reviewers have stated. I just loved the insane amount of peril and tension. I cannot wait for more.
I saw the trailer, it was obvious that the production has improved massively.
As arguably the world’s biggest Bluebird fan, I’ve been awaiting her fronting a proper NGC episode for quite some time. And this… this was WELL worth the wait.
I’ll start with my one area of (mild) disappointment: the costume changes. Not that I felt they were bad, and from a continuity standpoint I understood going in why new boots would be necessary. But IMHO changing the Bluebird costume was a case of “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” I felt Bluebird’s S1/TR costume was the best of the bunch, and probably my favorite parts of the original look were the tied-off sash rather than the traditional belt and the straps running up to above the knees.
OK, that’s my whinging out of the way. Cause that’s literally the one “bad” thing I can say about this video. Everything else, from the slick opening sequence, to the “Clark Kent” shot (from the end of the season 2 trailer), the acting (apparently the UK has a better class of henchmen than can be found in the States), the fight choreography and the writing is flawless. To echo some sentiments from upthread, I LOVE that NGC fights tend to eave you guessing til the very end which side will come out on top. There’s certainly a place in this fetishy world of ours for one-sided beatdowns, but as in most things, what makes those special when they happen is that they AREN’T the norm.
Congratulations, NGC. After having spent this long dying to see S2Ep1, I’m now dying to see what happens in Ep 2 even more–whether that’s a direct continuation of Bluebird’s story, a visit with Celestia (rapidly establishing herself as number 2 on my list), or whoever else might be involved. :)
I think pretty much everyone else has summed this up, one episode and I absolutely hooked, really looking forward to future episodes.
Gotta have to agree with previous comments – fantastic work!
Received E-mail and bought it immediately.
Keep up the good work! Looking forward to the next episodes
Thanks guys, these are really great messages. I’m so pleased people enjoyed it and could see the step forward we have taken. We want to take even more steps forward though, and we have to grow to do it. The site will be changing over the coming days so I hope you will keep an eye out for that.
This one has a lot of what makes for a good SHiP video. Good looking girl, nice costume, interesting story, intriging villians… I think it was just what the genre needed!
Just wanted to pop in and say I have enjoyed your series from the beginning. I have bought and watched the full season in its entirety, at least the main episodes. I really enjoyed the last one and confess I was captured by the ending. Very interesting one…look forward to learning more about what is going on.
