ok just fyi anyone urging you to write to viz or sign a petition to prevent them from censoring the gay relationships and content in homestuck is a fearmongering dumbass. its not 1998 and viz isnt 4kids. theyre not trying to get homestuck syndicated on kids wb and cutting out content that christian moms might find objectionable. viz literally has a yaoi publication imprint. its fine. youre fine.

if youre really worried about viz vandalizing homestucks content to make it more marketable, the first thing i would be concerned about is trademarks. betty crocker, the insane clown posse, movie posters and the likenesses of real people etc. if youre worried about corporate meddling cleaning house, thats where id start, because i guarantee you viz is about a million times more concerned about a lawsuit from general mills over brand infringement than they are about censoring davekat or whatever the fuck

right now sbahj is the only remaining place for mspa ad placement

What Pumpkin Games is going through a transition period, which has involved restructuring the company, the way we develop games, and the types of projects we focus on. First, the most important thing to address is, Hiveswap’s development absolutely will continue. The approach to its development will evolve as this transition goes forward, but ensuring the release of the full Hiveswap series remains our priority. We should have more specific information about what exactly this means for Hiveswap in coming weeks.

In the more immediate future, WPG is shifting focus to making smaller, fun, lightweight games that can be produced more quickly. The type of content we can release along the way between acts, continuing to build upon the Hiveswap world, and give fans things they can enjoy while they wait. These games are somewhat in the vein of what we did with the Troll Call, but more engaging, providing more depth and background to the characters that were previewed.

The first such game will be available very soon. The format is a “Friendship Simulator”, much like dating sims or visual novels you may have played before. The idea is, instead of trying to date a character, you just try to befriend them, and in the process, you get to know them better, and ridiculous things happen along the way. The first volume features two trolls from the Troll Call, and was written by Andrew Hussie.

We hope you enjoy this type of game! If it’s well received by the fans, then there should be more of these to play in the future. We appreciate your patience and support as WPG makes this transition.

the weirdest thing but also the coolest thing about homestuck is that, because it spanned from 2009 to 2017, the kids start out communicating on an IM client and end using snapchat. they’re so relatable and believable because they were 13 when the comic started, and they lived in that world. i actually love the pesterchum convos, as a concept. it’s in the little things, like how sometimes they would try to turn a word black for dramatic effect and they would fuck up the HTML. it makes the experience of rereading hs that much more nostalgic. idk man. homestuck was so good.

it’s wild to think about just how long it was around from beginning to end, and going from pesterchum to snapchat is a big indicator of that. same with all the references to movies and celebrities in the earlier acts. there’s plenty of people who got into the comic later who didn’t get the nic cage thing or other references that’re now outdated and being lost to time. and also? going from a simple flash of a kid playing a piano to finally outgrowing flash with almost 30 minutes of animation between collide and act 7, with so many contributing artists pulled from the fanbase that grew up around this comic that was so integral to it that however obnoxious it was I don’t think it would’ve been the same at all without it
