Backing a Kickstarter should mean only that you want the thing to exist, and not that you expect to get it. There is risk involved. But years ago this was not as widely known.

If we're talking about value-for-money, I saw the Homestuck kickstarter as sort of a proxy payment for Homestuck itself, since during those peak years it was definitely one of my favorite silly passtimes. I think a lot of other people said things to much the same effect, but it was certainly easier to say when Homestuck was on-track and Hussie seemed like an unstoppable force.

I mean, it's kind of ironic you say that since technically the kickstarter being as successful as it was could be argued to have lead to the comic going off track the way it did. At least there has certainly been plenty of comments to that sentiment. I hope there's a video breakdown afterwards like for Broken Age. I hope it's not like. A decade or something afterwards.

I imagine if Hussie didn't move to a new town to have a hand in developing a game based on Homestuck only to have the door shut in his face and is now out $800,000 and has to develop a game with no experience and a shitton of people who've given him money breathing down his neck, we'd at the very least have a better comic ending than what we got.

It can't because the story still isn't over. We reached the end but it's still not the end. It's over but it's never over it's over but it's never over Also Hussie said he's doing something related to it and might as well wait and see what it is what's another 7 years

Me and my girlfriend backed the game at I don't remember which tier but I guess the cheapest one that actually got you the game or something... Four years later we broke up. That was almost a year ago now. We don't really talk to each other anymore. I wonder who'll get custody of the game? We backed with money from the account we shared at the time.

I don't care about episodes. I was promised a game five years ago. If this isn't another bluff I will soon receive a game. This will conclude my business with the Huss and I will not bother myself with his future endeavors.

I figured President Trump at least would've tipped you off, that's a Hussie-created-reality move for sure.

I can't think of how some classpect combos could possibly manifest and make sense. Like Witch of Doom for example (actually the same goes for pretty much any active class + Doom). I got the impression that in many cases the class doesn't affect someone's abilities and only describes their role in the events of the story. Like, Aradia and Dave seem to have pretty much the same powers. edit: I'd be curious to see a Prince of Life. Presumably that would just involve killing folks. Or I guess "destroying with life" by, I don't know, giving people cancer or something? Ytlaya fucked around with this message at 00:56 on Sep 2, 2017 |

Waste makes sense for a lot of them. Waste of Space we've seen. Waste of Time. Waste of Breath. Waste of Life. And so forth.

I feel like in any situation where someone without much/any game development experience themselves sets out to make a game and lacks the funding to hire an experienced studio, it's almost always doomed to failure. Like, if the studio fucks up the guy leading/funding the operation isn't equipped to really understand what's wrong and fix things. Like, doesn't the current Hiveswap studio have zero resume in terms of previous games? Was that also the case with the previous studio?

I'm pretty sure a large chunk were brought on from the walkabouts in the comic, which, well, it's not nothing but it's not quite the same scale and also begs the question of why they ever bothered trying to go 3D in the first place.

What Pumpkin didn't think they'd be heading development of the game. 3D was supposed to save time since 2D animation can be costly. Reusing 3D models across an episodic game series is actually smart, think Telltale

Telltale games have been perpetually broken and animation hampered due to the unbelievable crunch time the studio is constantly under from working on three or four different games at once all the time. You can see every new game they release has obvious seams and the animation jumps between passable and broken at a moments notice. They are a very, very poor example to follow. BTW Telltale has released eight full series since the Hiveswap kickstarter was funded and has three series currently in progress right now. See, if you don't care about quality you can release quite a lot in a very short time!

Yeah but they released Tales From The Borderlands, one of their two good works, in that time so you can at least do one good thing during that time.

Honestly people are willing to forgive a whole hell of a lot on the technical side for a story-driven game that's funny and well-written. Despite the various disasters and missteps it's a little baffling that they struggled so hard to put together even a basic, short game like we're probably getting - build the barest-bones skeleton of a 2D point-and-click adventure game engine and fill it up with art, music and writing, and that should do. I mean the walkaround flashes might've been basic and smaller in scope but they were already pretty content-rich for what they were, and it's hard to understand being able to slap those together quickly on no budget then completely flub scaling up.

Yeah, see, if Hussie had just taken the crew that made the walkabouts and just made another one, only larger, then they might have managed to actually release a decent game before Homestuck ended. Basically like Undertale only a little larger in scope. Instead they tried to turn to professionals, who robbed them, then tried to make a 3D adventure game from scratch with no 3D experience, which needed to be scrapped at some point for some reason, and so it's taken years just to even realize that they should stick to the styles they have experience in. For all we know the final game only had a 18 month dev cycle, with most of that time being learning how to use their tools and making sure they actually have the blueprint for a good game worth making. (and naturally, that blueprint has been rewritten from Hussie's original idea to whatever the twitter dude thought was "better")

Lmao it never clicked with me before that this entire Kickstarter was essentially for a walkaround No wonder they went all out and likely way out of scope for what they wanted the project to be, they were probably going to make something way simpler initially and were flabbergasted by how much money people started throwing at them
