I'm not the hugest fan of Roxy. But maybe that's just because a lot of act 6 is a blur to me. My brain just fills it in with "there was relationship drama."

This is a derail, but hey, that's what this thread is about. Seeing as it's the more or less ancestor of Homestuck, I was curious about the guy who made Kid Radd. The original site is dead, and the guy seems to have disappeared from the internet. What the heck happened to that Dan Miller guy? Did he just give up writing webcomics and doing stuff like this?

It's a lot easier to like Jake if you consider him satire. Jake is every Token Girl from every comic / sci-fi book / cartoon pre-2000, but a guy. Even down to the booty shorts.

If you wanted a mirror, here you go. Kid Radd is one of Homestuck's clearest antecedents, and is short enough that anybody who's still in this godawful thread can probably power through it in an afternoon. It's, good. I have no idea what became of Dan Miller, however. His name is nigh-ungoogleable.

I like almost every character in Homestuck. ...I like Eridan. I like? Gamzee? (I liked him, he still confuses the hell out of me, which i assume is the point)

Everyone hated his guts but besides being a little whiny we never actually see him do all the heinous things everyone alludes to, so it's hard to must up the hate for him. Kronus, on the other hand, is a piece of poo poo.

That's one way to make the narrative loop in on itself again without repeating or making first-time readers accidentally skip big parts.

Well then, this seems like an excellent way to do retcons without throwing archival readers into confusion. Well, not as much confusion as there would be otherwise. And it also reminds me of how the earlier MSPAs had multiple options you could choose rather than just one. That was a pretty cool update, actually!

I guess everyone who called that Terezi was putting a codeword in John's mind as a tracer had the right idea. I thought the same, but I thought she was going to direct him from earlier...which she still might do.

My favorite part will be the next update when Terezi is all "OK future John, what do we do?" and he's all "Oh, uh... I hadn't thought of that yet." and everyone is disappointed.

The original site is dead, and the guy seems to have disappeared from the internet. What the heck happened to that Dan Miller guy? Did he just give up writing webcomics and doing stuff like this? I put a very moderate amount of effort into trying to see if he was anywhere on the internet near the beginning of the year, in hopes of getting a brief, informal interview for a sort of ten years later introspective (the comic ended in September, 2004), and I couldn't find anything. I didn't dig as far as contacting other people who might have info, because I felt like that would be creepy, but the most obvious route there would be to ask Mark Hadley, who wrote the Kid Radd ending music and also wrote a bunch of Homestuck music. I'd love it so much if he did something else; there've been basically two eras in webcomics so far, defined by the point at which it became feasible to actually have making a webcomic as your full time job, and Kid Radd is a strong candidate for most influential work from the first era. Its aesthetics, narrative devices and technological presentation are things that simply weren't possible before the internet, which is pretty cool.

Hussie's going to use this password system again, isn't he? It'll let him alter history while still keeping the old timeline up on the site. Craziest case scenario: a passworded altered timeline wherein the reader has two choices after the initial change - skip ahead from significantly altered event to significantly altered event up to the 'present' (this could also work on its own and be less crazy in doing so), or, and here's the crazy part (the earlier the change the crazier, natch), page through an entire altered version of Homestuck from that point onward, with the one changed detail changed throughout in addition to the altered versions of events mentioned earlier, but otherwise the same as before. Guess what the fans would rather do given the choice. You never know WHAT Hussie would hide in the altered Homestuck, after all. Edit: Oh poo poo, he could use the same password page and just use multiple passwords. BiggerJ fucked around with this message at 12:34 on Dec 10, 2014 |
