So in the same way that Problem Sleuth was the warm up for Homestuck, Homestuck itself is the warm up for something else. I'll be in the bunker.

I figure after Homestuck, he'll post something massive and incomprehensible, and use the ensuing confusion to leave the country/change his identity/escape the bugfuck fanbase and live on in solitude.

Due to time travel, Homestuck itself is the huge and incomprehensible work that he's building up to.

Hussie will announce the beginning of his big amazing next thing after homestuck's done, and include a link to the first page of it. The link will actually just lead back to the first page of homestuck and the fandom will implode.

I'm glad to hear that because I remember somewhere else reading that he believed Homestuck to be the end of the player-controlled webcomic medium. So I've been gearing up to say goodbye to MSPA so hurrah it's going to continue!

So I've been gearing up to say goodbye to MSPA so hurrah it's going to continue! I wouldn't take that as a guarantee that he intends to stick with MS Paint Adventures for his next project, or return to reader-driven story direction. He seemed like he'd really grown out of the latter when he ditched it, citing how Homestuck had become so popular that basically every possible course of action was getting suggested, and having full control of the narrative lets him do things like plan ahead. He's got the Homestuck Adventure Game to go, that could potentially tie him up for a whole year even after Homestuck itself is over (maybe longer, who knows?). Assuming he doesn't spectacularly cock them up, though, he's probably got the freedom to do just about whatever he can imagine and he'll have a built-in audience ready to give it a try. There's no telling what he'll choose to do with that sort of freedom, he might even parlay it into a "real job" working on games, animated shows, comics or some such thing.

It's my understanding that Francis has been a more even-tempered about things like homosexuality, but Catholicism's enmity toward Gnosticism and Homestuck's embrace of it would be sure to lead to a modern schism.

Having major characters in the story deliberately enter into pacts with a monster named Yaldabaoth is probably enough to get a big fat "nope" by itself. Hussie would need to look into a different funny hats religion if he wants to start a franchise.

Hussie's actually taking so long working on the finale because he's going to reveal that the entirety of MSPaint Adventures was an elaborate, Insane-Clown-Posse-esque prank actually meant to teach readers about Jesus Christ. There's room here for a crack about Dad and John being the Father and the Son, with dead Hussie as the Holy Ghost, but I can't seem to swing it.

In "tumblr is dumb" news, a bunch of people are convinced Hussie will post the final update tonight, since he said he'd be done in 2013. Yeah, that probably isn't happening, kids.

And just in time for the year to end, Hussie made a backers-only update for the Homestuck Adventure Game! The short version: - Game is mostly planned now. Still not releasing the name of the developer. - Game will be a single player adventure game (sorry, insane tumblr people that thought he would be making sburb!). - Game will have kids, trolls, but not the webcomic cast, and does not feature sburb. (So who knows how the gently caress the two groups meet)

Homestuck Kickstarter Updates posted:Greetings, and Happy New Year. Welcome to the First Annual Homestuck Kickstarter Update of 2013!!!

Some surprising announcements there, some not-so-surprising announcements. And by "surprising" I mean "not-so-surprising". I mean I know lots of people were hoping the Homestuck Adventure Game would just be SBURB but realistically speaking everyone should have expected something not strictly related to SBURB. I'm pretty hyped to see what Hussie does with a Homestuck-related story that doesn't involve SBURB!... or how he does it.

I was actually kind of hoping that it wouldn't have trolls, since i can't really see that working well if he's not doing a Sburb thing, but i guess he has to satisfy the fanbase.

My immediate thought is that the easiest way to have new kids and new trolls in a story without having to explain how they met in the first place is to set the game 'after' Homestuck-the-webcomic and have both groups living on the world that the webcomic cast will presumably create after they 'win'. It would make sense, then, for there not to be sburb in the story, because in Homestuck's hypthetical happy ending, you don't want the world they just got done creating to be immediately destroyed again.Stoat posted:Dave and Karkat not in it? I can't finally watch them gently caress? Don't worry. Hussie phrased that as the main characters will be different. So the webcomic cast will probably have a cameo or two. Your OTP still has a chance.

A good poster posted:How did you get that update? I put $25 in the after-Kickstarter Paypal option, and I haven't gotten anything about it in my email. I'm not sure how the after-kickstarter paypal option worked. I got it since I backed the campaign on KS, and I believe KS auto-mailed it out to all backers.

It doesn't look like PayPal backers are getting the update sent to them with the Kickstarter backers, unfortunately. Maybe a second round of emails will be sent later?

Angry Walrus posted:Namco seems like a safe bet, given their collaboration with Hussie and What Pumpkin. But what has Namco done, PC gaming wise? It's mostly been ports of console games, and not the greatest ports either, mostly good but never truly great. I'm guessing it'll be an indie dev, though there are so many to choose from that any guesses are as much a shot in the dark as the next.

I think it's safe to assume the graphics of the Homestuck game will be pretty simple, and the game itself will probably be wordy as gently caress. Doesn't strike me as a telltale game, really.
