George Buzinkai passed away yesterday. Buzinkai was a member of the Homestuck Music Team, and scored several animations with songs like Explore
Showtime
Endless Climb
And, most importantly, Doctor, the most popular and remixed track in Homestuck, and the unofficial theme of the series
Buzinkai was one of the most important people to Homestuck’s success, right up there with Toby Fox and Hussie himself, and had been working on a video game
As he notes [Homestuck’s] farcical nature, Hussie then feels
compelled to elaborate: “Certain things shouldn’t be taken at face
value, or as seriously as you might otherwise be inclined to. But the
ending isn’t funny, per se — it’s quite a deadpan, lavishly animated but
fairly minimalistic presentation of what I’d describe as the story’s
meta-theological thesis.”
Andrew Hussie attempts to defend Act 7 and talks about his life getting in the way of Homestuck on this latest interview. Worth the read!
