To my knowledge he makes quite a bit of money off of that Photoshop plugin. MSPA is just an (expensive, self-sustaining) hobby.

Photoshop plugin?

REAL SPOILER QUESTION I am confused about what happened to Sollux.
Well, I am confused about a lot of things, but this I feel like I should know.


He's dead, Jim.

I have a feeling the people who think Cascade was hard to understand are the same sort of people who called Inception a mindfuck.

Homestuck does very neat things structurally that haven't really been explored with webcomics up to now. It's a quite versatile format - any page can have one to many images (sometimes animated) with no text or quite a lot. They can even have sound and full animated sequences, if needed, or even interactivity.

I'd like to see a lot more comics in the same sort of format.

Hunt down Kid Radd if you can. A lot of what MSPA's done--single panels at a time, animated gifs, music--Kid Radd did ages ago. It relied on some html trickery to work, though, and browser updates messed with it. The author abandoned it, I think, but I know there's some saved archives floating around. Story's finished and everything, it's just.. not online anymore.
Which is a shame.

Uh, he didn't abandon it at all, he finished it completely. And it did do animated gifs, but the only music was in the bonus one-shots like the silly otaku 'these are a few of my favorite things' parody. Plus, it was limited textually to just what could be in the panels.

And it's online. There's even a downloadable version complete with an old portable firefox just so you can see it as it was meant to be: http://www.bgreco.net/kidradd.htm

It did do some neat things, especially the loving individually created and placed sprites (every comic is made of several different sprites upscaled and placed in the frame), but it doesn't have a lot of what I like about Homestuck's format.

If by 'recently started' you mean 'horribly ambitious project with three pages since January of this year' then sure. :v:

So.

UU's the personification of the homestuck fandom.

This absolutely cannot go badly.

Why would it be a reference to nyancat.

Sure, start reading from here until you get caught up
