So now that homestuck is over, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y5wYN6rB_Rg (with an untertale reference no less!) how do you think the game will be?
>>333502306
You already made this thread.
>Father dies
>has to put comic on hiatus
>then has to work on 3D adventure game
>Devs run off with money
>Have to scale back the game to 2d-flash tier
>Fanbase moves on to Steven Universe and Undertale
JUST
>>333502306
OP why are you so autistic that you have to keep making the same exact thread with the same exact opening post and picture?
Did /co/ kick you out or something?
>>333502884
>scale back the game to 2d
He should have done that from the beginning. The 3D environments didn't even look that good and are a lot more work.
>>333503501
3D works out more in the long run because you can reuse a lot easily while still having it be visually distinct.
Homestuck is legit over now? I stopped reading around the time the restart happened because it got fucking retarded. It's a shame it was pretty decent up until then.
>>333502306
>mom i posted it again
>>333502884
>Fanbase moves on to Steven Universe and Undertale
So true. Wasn't the guy who made undertale one of Hussie's sound guys? Something like that. The Homestuck fanabse that's left is basically a bunch of curious vultures waiting to see how the old cultural phenomenon is going to die out.
>>333506908
it's over on the anniversary. you should at least try catching up. Hussie's putting more effort than expected. Also this pic related shit
>>333507389
>>So true. Wasn't the guy who made undertale one of Hussie's sound guys?
he literally lives in his basement
>>333507467
Really? Think they swordfight with the dragon dildos /co/ sent Hussie?
>>333507448
So, did he end up trying to fuck with his fanbse or not? Or it just had a stupid ending?
>>333507687
Its gonna be over on April 13th.
>>333507687
No more fucking with than usual. It was a decent return actually. There's still another update on the 13th, and I believe that's the end.
>>333502306
that games going to be a hot mess. itll be funny and all but that aint gonna save it
>>333507827
>it'll be funny
phil gibson (the least funny person in paradox space) is writing it
hussie can't be arsed to write the damn dialogue himself, so he's outsourcing it
>>333507593
Yeah, while Ryan North jerks off
>>333508045
jesus christ its doomed
Anyone have a Mega link for [S] Collide.?
>>333507775
>>333507687
>>333507809
>Missed the opportunity for an April 1st King Kong ending
>>333508045
I imagine Hussie is just in a deep depression on how everything turned out.
>Dad dies.
>Kickstarter gets robbed. Non disclosure agreement so he can't even explain in detail to his fanbase.
>Fans all leave during megapause as he tries to scrap his life together.
>Outsources everything to other artists and writers.
>Fans hate him for it, major wound to his ego.
Being Hussie is suffering.
>>333508382
poor guy. he is a real talent, its a shame its come to this.
Did Hussie say he was going to take on another project once Homestuck was done?
>>333508540
We'll always have MSPA and It Don't Stop.
Hussie was in his prime then, guess it's Toby's turn now.
>>333508693
before his soul died
>>333508382
I really do feel for the guy. I had a two reply conversation with him on twitter at one point, and he seemed nice from that. The amount of shit he must put up with from the fanbase must be maddening.
>>333508975
homestuck started out just fun and goofy, then it just got tainted by all these fickle tumblrinos who demanded hussie cater to their whims, who made it so that if you liked homestuck youre lumped together with these godawful fans in nasty greasepaint parading around their insipid ship charts and headcanons. then they just desert him.
I-is it actually over now? No bullshit? I was ready for it to end 5 years ago.
>>333509627
it isn't, act 6 ended
Don't kid yourselves, it was ultimately Hussie's ego that destroyed Homestuck, NOT the fans.
>>333502306
>homestuck is over
Are you retarded?
Even if you had no idea what Homestuck is about it's clear from this video that nothing is "over". They didn't even beat the main villain.
>>333507389
Toby made UT in Hussie's basement, has been friends since before the comic, and has done most if not all of the biggest HS songs and got his own solo album first.
Still, the UT bit in the newest flash was SUPER awkward because of how shitty Hussie's game is doing and will do compared to Toby's. The poor thing will never hold a candle against UT's huge success after all that's happened.
>>333509627
Its officially over on the 13
Remember how politically incorrect was everything by Hussie before tumblr got a hold off it?
>>333510309
IIRC didn't Hussie make some joke about one of the character's alternate forms or whatever actually being white instead of the ambiguous literally-white they normally are, leading to Tumblr getting buttmad and Hussie changing the joke or something?
I remember that being a thing that happened.
>>333510309
Glorious times.
>>333508540
I want to fuck that Calliope
>>333510749
why do you think i saved it my friend
I just want to be sure on one thing:
That blob on John shirt, its supposed to be Slimer right?
>>333510602
>YOU CAN SEE THE FUCKING CHARACTERS
This will never not be funny. Hussie can be savage as fuck.
>>333511231
yee
Is he gonna go back to making fun, light-hearted stuff like Problem Sleuth again?
>>333510602
>tfw if he did it now, it'd be considered fatshaming
>>333502884
didn't they make that shitty king quest remake that no one played with the money?
How did they get away with that?
>>333511783
Hussie didn't want to take them to court because it would delay the comic and the game even more
>>333502306
Someone explain to me the whole story of homostuck
>>333511783
it was supported by EA?
>>333511783
Activision bought them a lawyer and Hussie had to settle out of court.
>>333511783
Hopefully they won't seeing how many people know that happened now.
>>333512164
Looked it up, seems they are in the middle of making it still and episode 3 comes out April
I think it must have bombed though as I have never seen anyone talk about it, I think I even got it free on psn+ but never touched it
>>333507827
What a shame, I wanted this game to do well so badly, even if it was a shitty point and click adventure.
>>333509459
That was the most ridiculous point, he made most of that shit in mockery and they fucking ate it up.
>>333511949
The gist of it is that it's four kids playing around with a reality altering game beta.
that's the most basic outline of the plot.
>>333511949
4 nerdy friends play a game that destroys their universe and if they can successfully beat it they may make a new universe and live as gods. things get messy when time travel horeshit rears its ugly head and gross creatures from another dimension fuck with our four heroes. they all become faggot friends and fuck off to an alternate universe where they squad up with their relatives who are now the same age as them in order to fight the final, indestructible boss somehow.
it really did not have to be as long as it is, its just so convoluted now
>>333512817
Well the Colbert Report did so well for how many years? Same thing.
What's that quote? Making stupid comments make stupid people feel like they're in good company?
>>333502306
I stopped reading at uh... descend I think that was years ago. Is it worth reading again in full now?
More interestingly, do you think Hussie is going to do another comic after this or has Homestuck pretty much burnt him out completely?
>>333511949
>Homostuck
>Not Homosuck
You blew it.
The story is pretty basic, 4 kids find a game on the web that's on beta, they play that shit but it destroys the planet, the good thing is that if they get to the end they make a new universe and get to be the Gods for it, their own universe was made by the same game by some allien devil motherfuckers, but they failled to become Gods and got stuck on their own universe, now the other 4 kids end up fucking it up even more, then a whole lot of bullshit happens yadda yadda yadda, read it faggot.
The twist being that there's a lot of paradox space and time bullshit in between, but it's pretty damn great.
>>333513447
Is it worth reading?
Honestly, not really. But if you enjoyed what you read then might as well. Homestuck is just to self referential to really recommend to people who haven't read it or kept up with it.
Start at the beginning if you want the full experience.
>>333513447
>Is it worth reading again in full now?
Yeah
>>333514545
cheeky, shill
>>333511394
>That pic
Savage
Will that faggot ever stop being a joke?
>>333513447
>Is it worth reading again in full now?
Never was. Read the first four parts or so and then skip to the end.
>>333515645
>missing some of the best flashes
>>333515820
then watch them on youtube, no point in slogging through hundreds of pages of shit
>>333516748
They're way better with context
>>333516827
No, they aren't. Not that hundreds of pages of meaningless dialogue and retconned garbage from "people don't have character arcs" Hussie is much context in the first place.
>Dad breaks out of the prison and starts beating the shit out of Cans
Best part of the flash. I can't believe this shit's finally ending.
>>333510478
Yeah, that was a thing that happened (but unfortunatley did stop being a thing that happened). The character went super tier or whatever and proclaimed they were so CAUCASIAN, which was later changed to 'PEACHY.'
>>333517184
It is worth it to read all of 5.2 and then the first few pages or so of act 6. After that it slows down a bit, with some boring acts, but at least before that it is worth it. Page 6009 with the next few are so powerful and emotional in context, it's worth reading. You can pretend it ends at 6012 or so? if you want to, with an open end, but at least read up to that point.
>>333510602
Jesus I miss the formspring or whatever the fuck that site was called so much. He was ruined the moment he made a tumblr.
Why is Hussie's artstyle so godawful?
>>333510602
>Your son fucking disgusts me.
Jesus you kind of forget how funny this guy is when he has play nice with tumblrtards. Anyone have a link to the wizard book thing he did? That always makes my day.
>>333517832
He was ruined the moment he started fucking Halftruth and met all her Tumblr pals who would dictate how the entire comic went for the purposes of 'funny irony.'
ipgd killed Homestuck.
>>333518021
http://pastebin.com/U99V3zyj
>>333511783
>>333512164
Hussie went after them, and they said they would give back whatever they hadn't spent on an agreed upon date. Because just taking back whatever was left would literally be a net gain over the alternative of taking them to court.
TFYG were literally so shitty, they continued to spend the money in the time leading up to the date to return the unspent funds. They knew Hussie's company couldn't touch them legally thanks to Activision
>>333502306
HS isn't over. It ends on 4/13 with the entirety of Act 7 being dumped all at once.
>>333518407
Did they have any official statement for doing it in the first place?
>>333518587
nope, everything is under NDA
this is why you never trust indie devs
>>333518587
Because they didn't care about the project at all and produced literally nothing more than one room, some objects, and a character model.
They were approached by chance to do Kings Quest at the same time they were sitting on a huge pile of cash to make something none of them were interested in
so they started spending the money on KQ instead because Activision are fucking shitlords and wouldn't care.
>>333503501
He was just being ambitious. His formspring used to expand a little more on his beliefs that different forms of media need to be expressed differently.
He used to speculate that if HS ever became a game, it wouldn't progress the same way as the comic simply by virtue of being a different medium and therefore requiring a different interpretation of the story
>>333508335
I think April 1st update should have been a cut to the Reader from Jailbreak looking at the "suicide stump" and lifting a gun to his head
but I think he's already done that joke in HS. oh well
>>333511949
It's a Creation mythos with several smaller creation myths inside of it, kind of like a "creation fractal"
>>333513447
Homestuck is great if you are a sharp-eyed lore-lover. The number of callbacks is insane.One character stuck their arm into the Sburb source-code, which caused their arm to appear from a wormhole retroactively in a bunch of older panels and even some animations), so if you re-read and you're like "wtf are these random arms?" it makes sense towards the end.
did it end? I looked it up and people said its still going
not even a fan just wondering
>>333520415
it didn't end
>>333520415
it ends on wednesday, this flash was just the end of act 6 act 6 act 6
>>333502306
Why is the music so bad? Why is the whole animation Tumblr art stills that aren't even aliased such that it could be mistaken for being made in MS paint? Where is all of the energy? Where is the grandiose scale? Why are there so few twists and surprises for such a climactic battle? Also YouTube bitrate makes it look like shit even at 1080p. I fear this is not going to improve and just everything after the reset will remain shit.
>>333515645
This is horrible advice. Like suggesting someone read LOTR and only read up til the main cast are introduced, then "go ahead and skip to where they finally drop the Ring into the volcano"
>>333522175
What?
Oppa Toby Style and Heir of Grief are two of the best songs in the series..
>a problem sleuth game will never exist
Why live?
>>333522671
Lets hope Hiveswap will at least feel like what PS should be like as a game
>>333522623
Oppa Toby Style only works because of the accompanying animation being one of the best fight scenes in the comic, outside of the flash it sounds like shit
Eternity Served cold was completely misused
>>333522576
>>333515645
Yeah don't do that. Do however feel free to skim over dialog if it seems like it isn't going to be plot relevant of amusing, because there's a lot of that you really don't need to read every word of.
>>333512997
Any community that gets its laughs by pretending to be idiots will eventually be flooded by actual idiots who mistakenly believe that they're in good company.
>>333518178
1500 (ONE-THOUSAND FIVE-HUNDRED) lines of pure, comical nonsense. Honestly, I'm jealous. I wish I could do that without succumbing to laziness, but alas, I am but a poor blob.
>>333522175
it's in low quality because if Hussie hosted that animation live on the site, it would crash from the traffic (as it has previously on major updates)
looks like he hosted the animation on the site and recorded it, then took down the animation and posted the YT recording of it instead to reduce bandwidth costs
WHERE DA VIDEO GAMES
>>333524692
ITT
>>333524692
as far as "things that aren't video games" go, homestuck is about the most video game out of anything
>>333507448
MEMES
>>333522576
Are you seriously comparing Homestuck to LOTR?
>>333511949
Four kids play a game that decides the fate of reality, and hilarity ensues.
>>333526596
LOTR is incomparably better written of course, but I'd argue HS is consistently more interesting.
>>333526686
Homestuck is maybe more "engaging" but I wouldn't say it's more "interesting". LOTR has a far more fleshed out and tangible universe. HS is a lot more abstract and deals with constant metafuckery.
>>333526686
>reams of shit dialogue
>pointless time-travel alternate reality bullshit
>a big chunk gets retconned and is absolutely pointless
>consistently more interesting
No.
>>333526969
are we talking about the silmarillion or homestuck?
>>333526858
anyway no my points was just how dumb it is to tell someone to read the first part and then skip to the end just cuz the middle has some lull points in it
Problem sleuth was better
>>333527048
Yes, that is dumb.
>>333526969
If you were reading the most recent updates you would know that nothing was 'retconned', everything in the story contributes to the point each character is at now, they make this very clear
it's not character growth in the traditional sense, but even the characters who can't remember the heroic stuff they did before the Hard Resets come to terms with how it helped them reach that point, and they come to terms with never being completely "resolved" emotionally
>>333527027
We're comparing LOTR and Homestuck, you fucking moron. Good thing the comic died if the fanbase consists of retards like you. And no, the Silmarillion doesn't have reams of pointless dialogue, retconned unfunny bullshit, time travel, or even alternate reality meta fuckery.
>>333527516
>I didn't read the Silmarillion
>>333527048
>just cause everything after a certain point it has little to no bearing on anything
fixed
>>333527352
Plenty was retconned he made a joke of it at the expense of the readership, not my problem if you were too dumb to notice.
>>333527779
that's blatantly untrue but okay.
>>333527559
>I didn't read the Silmarillion
>to the point where I'm comparing it to Homestuck
Ouch.
>>333527881
Nice dodge, but 3/4 of the things you mentioned are there
>>333528006
I'm not dodging shit, if you think circular teenage chat logs are comparable to the Silmarillion, or a creation-of-the-universe poem is comparable to Hussie teleporting around a game to catch his waifu then go fuck yourself and stop bumping this shit thread.
>>333528214
homestuck is about creating an universe, so it might be you the one that isn't reading shit
>>333526969
>a big chunk gets retconned and is absolutely pointless
That is a lie though, if you know it gets retconned you know it's absolutely necessary
>>333526858
Homestuck is really interesting. It really feels like it could be a real religion. All the classpects, the prehistory, all the stories. It really is something that people could make a real religion out of. LotR is just a straight forward story, Homestuck has so many interesting concepts to analyze.

So can anyone explain what's going on in Dave+Terezi's first fraymotif
the second one didn't make sense until i realized they just rewound time but made it look fancy
>>333502306
god, i reread it like 8 months ago just to remember what the fuck was happening
now i don't remember anything again and i'm just fucking confused why did i ever spend time reading this piece of shit
>>333530932
I assumed they merged a past Dirk with current dead dirk
>>333528328
>they're both about creating a universe imma ignore everything elseXDDD
Now who's dodging
>>333530932
Dave is opening timelines for Terezi to surf through and pick one where everything is the same but Dirk doesnt die. If you notice, the paths that Dave opens never intersect so there's no timeloop bullshit
>>333530932
IT JUST WORKS
>>333530932
>>333531190
>trying to make sense of this clusterfuck
>>333518773
Luckily any reputation (not much anyway) hey had is lost and I doubt any of them will be a popular face after that stunt
I mean the homos spread far and wide and hate anyone who bad mouth their precious....comic?
>Kanaya is useless and fuck and doesn't even contribute to any fraymotifs
>Karkat only fights Clover and sucks dick at it
>Jade doing fuckall
>Jane only bothers to heal everyone once
>Terezi is the only non-god tier that actually contributes
>>333531373
But then Cyborg jack is left holding his weapon in both staff and gun form at the same time and he's clearly confused as fuck by it
>>333531884
karkat's part is the best, you misunderstood his role in the story
I agree jade and kanaya both had shitty parts
and jane healed them several times offscreen
>>333532006
almost everything is the same. The point is, it's a point at which Dirk isnt dead
I suppose Jack had to be horsing around in order for Dirk not to get rekt'd
>>333532173
Terezei being able to see and take memories from multiple timelines + Dave time manipulation = Being able to converge timelines
How much of the story was left from the alpha kids on? That's when i stopped.
>>333532642
Almost a third of the story. But it introduces Lord English's backstory, which is important.
>>333532549
there's no converging though, that's the point of the splitting. Dave and TZ just redoes the moment that causes Dirk's death. Literal savestate powers
Now that the Homestuck finale was a fiasco, what will Hussie do to call the old fanbase back?
>>333532915
So why did SS have two cepters?
>>333533119
Nothing, because it's over? He might make a new comic, but I think he's going to wait until after Hiveswap is out.
>>333533206
That depends on what happened right before Slick would have shot him. We werent shown that part since it was 'saved over' The reset happened before whatever caused Dirk to simply stand there and get shot at
I'm guessing Dirk only seems to remember it because Dirk is Dirk or because of that memory shit Davepeta was talking about earlier
>>333533672
Yeah but if it was rewinding time he shouldn't have had a duplicate cepter
>>333533884
oh I see your point.
That raises another question then. Why doesnt Lord Jack have 2 crowbars now?
>>333534114
Maybe because the cepter is technically two objects while the crowbar is one?
>>333532112
The thing that made me mad about kanaya the most is that she does at most 2 attacks and after that she's literally applying makeup and reading a book while everyone else does their fraymotifs.
>>333534534
She didn't want to waste her MP doing and attack so she waited
>>333534442
maybe objects like that can be split with the motif? Would be cool to see if that worked with Kanaya's Lipstick/chainsaw
So does that make duality weapons immune to resets or is it truly a merge? It's a clusterfuck eitherway
jade you stupid fuck

>When the white goddog punches her

>>333532112
>karkat's part is the best, you misunderstood his role in the story

His role is "joke character" like Gamzee and all the other fucking trolls outside his special strong womyn Mary Sues

how
>>333536586
The only thing I understand is that he overcame a tiny annoying little shit which is reflective of his denizen fight.
Then again Clover is lucky as fuck so Karkat had to be even luckier to even beat him.
>>333536840
Homestuck always looked like that though
>>333511949

why do i remember it being good

>>333534534
Maybe she should have developed her fucking Space powers at any point over the last three fucking years of her life instead of fucking Rose nonstop
>>333522175
>Why is the music so bad?
Why do you have so much shit taste?
>>333531884
>>Jade doing fuckall
Wait I haven't read Homestuck in a long while, but isn't Jade one of the most powerful characters by a MASSIVE margin?
>>333541335
Yeah, but she never does anything
>>333541335
Yeah, so he constantly finds ways to incapacitate her so she doesn't ruin "the stakes" (not that there are any fucking stakes)

So what was the problem? How come I had no idea what homestuck was about until you summed it up?
>>333541856
It is very difficult to answer that question without giving spoilers.
WHAT DOES DOOM, BLOOD, HEART, AND RAGE DO!?
>>333508295
It's literally on youtube you pleb.

>Your son fucking disgusts me
Jesus christ, however many goddamn years later and this still slays me every time
>>333530932
He allowed Terezi to use her mind powers on past-Dirk to make him make a tactical choice that doesn't lead to him getting shot full of holes.
>>333542441
This can not be denied.
>>333542568
How would that even work?
>>333544085
A point and click/JRPG/tabletop simulator/grand strategy game
>>333544590
But part of the reason PS is so funny is that, even though it's presented like a game, it actually runs on complete nonsense. To make a game you'd have to codify an actual ruleset, which seems like it'd go against the point.
>>333544983
>He couldn't understand the game rules

So it's been fucking forever since I even thought about Homestuck and I mostly have no clue what's happening here, but I do have one question I want answered, what's up with the Jack with the rainbow googly eyes?
>>333546495
He's the Alpha session Jack, Gamzee gave him Lil' Cal, which possessed him, forced him to cut out his own eyes, and replace them with Cal's, which turned out to be Lord English eyes.
>>333546495
He's the Jack from the new kids' session
Caliborn (Lord English as a kid) mind-controlled him and made him gouge out his own eyes and replace it with the ones from Lil' Cal
