So if he says "nothing big planned for 4/13" that could mean Hussie really doesn't plan to do anything for 4/13, or it could've been him being 'in character' as himself, the authour, that has now died, and something will happen on 4/13 anyway.

Well, he actually gave reasons for that. Remember, planning events for specific days fucks with pacing, which is already kinda a problem with Homestuck without anything exacerbating poo poo.

Bell_ posted:Will this suffice? Oh man, the lyrics in this had me in stitches. Olive Garden breadsticks will be eaten sadly in remembrance indeed, even though I'm pretty sure OG breadsticks can't be eaten any other way. Also, I can't see this being a real april fool's joke, aside from the part where IRL Andrew Hussie is pretending to be dead. I'm certain his author avatar is dead. Hussie's usefulness in his own story has long since passed, and it was about time he killed himself off.

Yes, that's why Cascade happened when it did. He had it finished like a week early, but waited on posting it because why the hell not? He used to try to post things on certain dates, and that's when the pacing got a little wonkier than usual.

I mean, how do you take a principle villain who hasn't been in your comic for 98% of it's lifetime and make him a threat? Well, killing the guy who writes the comic is a good way to start, I guess. No but seriously I'm fully expecting this to mess poo poo up and we're not gonna get Intermission's 3-6, no, Lord English is going after the kids right loving now, with the horrorterrors trying to slow him down so they'll be able to make it in time.

Given that LE just whacked the comic's goddamn author, I think he's setting his sights a little higher than killing some teenaged coffin cloggers.

The place Hussie was hiding Slick is the same place John and Jade are passing through, right? I wonder if English will have enough time to interfere with their trip.

What pattern is Hussie's blood making? Looks like it's supposed to be something. e: apparently Vriska's blood spread out in the same pattern. Saradiart fucked around with this message at 11:06 on Apr 2, 2012 |

I would actually hope that we get through the entirety of the trolls' and kids trip to the new B2 universe prior to finishing Act 6 Act 2. It'd be weird from a story perspective for us to go back to the B2 session prior to the kids arriving.

It'd be weird from a story perspective for us to go back to the B2 session prior to the kids arriving. The B2 kids still have a lot of business to attend to before the time is right, narratively speaking, for the B1 kids to arrive. Only one of them has even entered the Medium yet! We'll be spending a lot of time with them. It would probably be better to keep coming back to the B1 kids every once in a while, so that we're not too long away from any one main character. I don't think he wants a repeat of Hivebent, where all the characters are left in cliffhangers while a whole new batch of them gets their own adventure for three months. Going back and forth keeps plot threads from going stale.

Farewell noble huss.  Now I hope we get a callback to this scene when LE is killed with magic. Or we just get a repeat of this, either would be fine.

TheRagamuffin posted:The place Hussie was hiding Slick is the same place John and Jade are passing through, right? I wonder if English will have enough time to interfere with their trip. Chances are, Slick survived by stumbling through the fourth wall after Hussie broke into Doc's place. That area Hussie broke in through was the same place he set up the walls. It's further just as likely that this is how Lord English got in. But it's also like 3 nanoseconds or whatever from Hussie's perspective so English probably can't do poo poo other than perhaps break through the wall and mess with the B2 session once everyone's there. ...I kind of want to know how Hussie's world fits into the Grand Cosmology Of Homestuck even if it isn't really supposed to make sense.

If Lord English wanted to mess with John and Jade he would be already there, three nanoseconds or not.

I finished ironing out a thing: Fiasco:Homestuck Edition v1.0 Any comments you can leave regarding the "flavor" or choices I could add would be greatly appreciated! I'll try to playtest this within the next week and tweak it accordingly, anyone else is free to do so as well.

FewtureMD posted:I finished ironing out a thing: Fiasco:Homestuck Edition v1.0 I feel like the prototyping and weapon components inventory fillers either need to be more numerous or more general. They feel a little bit too specific to canon Homestuck, when that should really be a point for the players to develop weird idiosyncrasies of their own.

Really, nobody has any idea when whatever nebulous legalese bullshit is holding it back will get resolved. But according him Radiation deserves all of the blame for making the album late. All of it.

There's so many new artists who need to be brought up to speed on what's going on and what's legal for Hussie and themselves to do with the music now and I hear it's a real clusterfuck. Apparently some people have been hard to get hold of and it's either just keep trying to get them or dump their work from the album, which nobody really wants to do.

Well, Hussie said that they were considering making today a "come hell or high water date", so it sounds like they're about ready to drop people. It would be somewhat unfortunate, but couldn't they still offer to put the songs on a future album (assuming the musicians do eventually get all of the legal stuff done)? That seems like a better solution than to continue delaying this album indefinitely.
