Is anyone else depressed about how badly this comic fizzled out?

Homestuck was a defining feature of my life for four years. it gave me impossible standards for convoluted plots, plot twists, clever dialog, in-series mythology, and more that I don't think another series is ever going to fulfill. For the past few months my only thoughts about homstuck were "I miss enjoying that."

If that faggot Hussie hadn't wasted his time on that shitty game, it could have gone out with a bang and people would still give a fuck. But he did and a few years from now nobody will remember him or his comic

>>79077445
To make it good he has to sink most of the current ships, conclude character arcs in a satisfying way that isn't some bullshit meta "lol we dun have arcs" thing, and actually make the main cast still relevant
It's not gonna be good
>>
>>79077416
Not really, I'm just disappointed with how long I spent with it. After I started thinking on it I just realized how shit the overall comic was. Aranea's text box explanations bored the fucked out of me. I believe that was one of the points where I began to drop interest. Along with killing almost every intermission character off.
Somehow I came to enjoy Intermissions over the main plot. Also I fucking hate Sollux and his shitton of bullshit lives. Also it's pointless to even care about character death. There's no reason to get emotional or find it funny anymore. Hussie fucked up bad.
>>
>>79077416
I wish it focused more on sburbs than timeline and universe Shenanigans.

>>79077630

Does anyone really care how it ends anymore? I mean it's not like he can make it any worse than it currently is.

>>79077747
I'm secretly hoping he pulls some cascade-tier shit out his ass and ties up at least 3 of the major threads, because otherwise I can't justify myself reading all these boring-ass fanfiction-tier pesterlogs

>>
>>79077416
The reason most people don't actively shit on it like Korra is that we're actually legitimately disappointed that it hasn't lived up to- Not even it's promise. It had actually set up some pretty high standards in the early acts that he just couldn't deliver on. I don't think it's that he couldn't intrinsically pull it out, honestly. I think the quality suffered because he got hit by personal issue after personal issue in that one period a few years ago. It's not fair to him and it's not fair to us, but it's life. So we just kind of accepted that Homestuck wasn't going to be what it could have been.
>>
>>79077630
I wish it focused more on epic fights with fraymotiffs, more explanation to the god tier powers and just big fucking fights in general.

I really hope Hussie finishes it with a big fucking fight.
>>
>>79078124
People shit on Korra cause Korra ended on a low note. Unfortunately, Hussie thought it was a good idea to copy that
>>
Personally, I feel like there should have been less writing.
By which I mean, more implications in dialogue instead of outright stating feelings, and fewer walls of text overall.

The walls of text are what killed the comic for me, personally.

Korra ended on a high note, but it couldn't make up for the shitstorm that had come immediately before it.

On a completely tangential note, I'm keking so hard that that attempt to make a fan-sequel petered out.

The stuff Hussie has posted about Undertale is honestly kind of sad. It did drastically better than Hiveswap could ever hope to. Only it cost 1/10th as much. It shows, in a pretty undeniable fashion, what he could have made, but didn't. So when he posts about it there's always this mix of admiration and salt.

no, I'm serious. I was predicting for weeks before davepetaspirte^2 was created that nepetasprite would fuse with one of karkat's romantic interests, that Davesprite would fight LE and that Dave would die. I was horrifed when all three turned out to be true simultaneously in the worst way possible

So thoughts on when he will start updating again? I'm guessing febuary or early March and the epilogue posted on 4/13. The epilogue will be a 4 year time skip and show John has lost his eyes and mouth but gained a nose and a son

>>79079330
As if. He said he'd wrap up progress by 4/13

i cant believe he considered those last updates to be entertainment

its like sitting behind the scenes trying to get out some form of game he started seeing homestuck as a series of technical problems

He said that he wanted it to end on 4/13. And I'm assuming he would want to spread it out a little not just dump it at once.

they dont read like theyre made by someone who realizes that people will read them before the next parts. or maybe i'm just hoping that there will be some follow-up that makes them better.

davepetasprite is so insanely terrible, that in the past he would surely acknowledge it in some way. i really want to know what corner he wrote himself in where this is the solution.

and after the obligatory delaying of the encounter, he thought "well what will i do in the davedirk conversation. how about dave was traumatized by his upbringing in a comic where a girl was raised by a dog."

Jades upbringing has been a knowledge as fucked up. Dave's hadn't and yes mom was always drunk and dad prank ed John nit they actually had food in the fridge and weren't always spying on their kid to use as puppet porn and didn't have a puppet kick them down steps

Is it true that he hired a company to make a Homestuck video game after raising over a million dollars on Kickstarter, and then the company stole his money and made the new King's Quest game instead?

Either Union Jack or Alt! Calliope. Jack has an obvious route to power that's been foreshadowed. He kills Dave, Dirk, and Terezi, then flies off and kills the other jacks and takes their stuff, creating a jack with first guardian, LE and queen's ring powers and LE's cane.

Alternatively hussie made Alt! Calliope intentionally ominous with the ability to eat souls and steal their powers. She's already done that to her caliborn, she might do it to LE

>>79080842
Nah, i't pretty obvious he's not the last boss. Tavros pointed it out to Vriska and she called him an idiot. Really, if you want evidence in idea is wrong, see if Vriska says it proudly and calls whoever disagrees an idiot

>actually having a problem with three people all loving each other

I don't actually ship anyone (I was just checking to see if the comic had updated) but I honestly need to point out that you westerners and your obsession with monogamy is really weird

Like almost none of you are happy in your marriages anymore but this concept you people culturally have about love being specifically this special thing between two people makes trying to escape that without being taboo impossible. I've only lived in the gates for three years after I came here for college but the happiest family I've ever known was a polyamorous trio with an open relationship that lived in an apartment and were all swingers. To a Puritan that's some "degenerate" shit but they were honestly the most contended group of people in a relationship I've ever seen, whereas everyone with a single significant other or spouse seemed miserable
>>
>>79080830
LE is the Incredibly Obvious Final Boss, sure. Hussie's either going to subvert that or subvert the expectation he's going to subvert it.
>>
>>79081009
So in other words, you can't commit and you're a fucking pussy

So is the cairo overcoat made up of vriska's coat stolen by kurloz on LEGamzee's behalf and the house juju somehow? That could be what increases LE's powers beyond that of a lord, because the juju would have the powers of all 4 kids.

I reckon it's going to be smashed by the crowbar, giving the kids the upper hand having already been through the loop once knowing how to beat him.

This is my only theory I've ever made and I'm banking on it fuckers

"Commitment" in the way you use it is such a weird thing too. I can be emotionally committed to more than one person. You're emotionally committed to both of your parents, all of your siblings, all of your friends, why can it only be one lover?

Either way no matter who is the "pussy" it's happier than most American married couples end up so I shrug.

Hussie got conned out of all his kickstarter money by a bunch of fedora wearing "Odd Gentlemen" and he got BTFO by the autist he exploited to make all his music.

"Undertale is the part of Homestuck I'm proudest of" fuck off Hussie, you didn't make or inspire Undertale. Toby slaved under you just long enough to get a grasp on how to get an autistic fanbase, then he made an actual GAME that was CONCISE and FOCUSED and most importantly NOT ON A BUDGET OF 3.5 MILLION DOLLARS

Let Hussie's bloated corpse be the fertilizer for new artists who actually give a shit

It's really sad that there are only two possible outcomes for the end of the story: either all the survivors rebirth their race on a planet that will one day be selected to play a new game of SBURB, or some of the survivors rebuild in the whitespace on a few planets too tiny to support more than a small society.

or, you know, everyone dies. any way you look at it, it's unhappy

So, I started reading Homestuck, finished Act II, and have yet to start Act III.

So far I have enjoyed the wordplay and some of the captchalog antics, but the plot has so far been meh.

Do I stop here, or continue on?

Act III and IV are where the plot starts getting good.

The first act was suggestion driven, and so were parts of the next couple ones. It makes a little more sense when you know those commands are all reader-given.

halfway through Act 3 is, I believe, when the suggestion box got turned off

a lot of the silly but pointless stuff early on is needed to ease you into the truly batshit stuff later on that's integral to the plot, but would be too hard to keep track of if you just got presented with all these mechanics and terminology all at once.

Because in their eyes they're just offsetting the fact that characters 'default' to white most of the time.

The way they do it, however, is by rolling a 100 sided dice of ethnicities and sexualities for every character and declaring the result canon.

Which is why Jade is a black, muscular transman otherkin.

Honestly, I can't choose. There's a lot of good music.

I could choose a least favorite though. I never really liked Sburb all that much.
>>
>>79085998
You know...

There comes a point where you just have to say that enough is enough.

I am a black guy, but even I find this to be quite... unnerving. This person has literally made the lalondes into two sassy black mommas. I mean, I can literally hear the "you go gurl!" and "mmh-hmmmmMMM!" from that picture.

That is certainly not the lalondes that I am used to. God, it's at the point where it's barely even a depiction and more like AU versions of these characters.

And Jade... Ugh god, don't even get me started on how fandom Jade reaches into lovecraftian-tier levels of inducing nausea to me. I just can't understand how these artists could ever think that the black community would thumbs up this bullshit.
>>
>>79086808
Strange, Sburb is one of my favorites. The piano assortment is super relaxing and calming. It's a nice change of pace.

My least favorite would either be Mobius Trip & Hadron Kaleido or Genesis Frog, simply because they're so damn unnotable. Symphony Impossible to Play too, I guess.

>I just can't understand how these artists could ever think that the black community would thumbs up this bullshit.
That was never their objective. They're doing this to feel good about being "progressive" without actually having to do so. Like >>79086928 said, the general demographic of Tumblr's fanartists don't really respond well to reason. Or constructive criticism. Or anything really.
>>
>>79086650
Volume 6 makes me the most nostalgic, for some reason.

Not really, all four kids are affected in some way by (at least partially) intellectual interests that in no way reflect ghetto shit at all.

Eternity's Shylock, or Eternity Served Cold.

Homestuck's defining features will always be trying to be too big and ruining itself.

As a comic about the kids it was amazing.
They added the trolls as main characters and my interest dropped off a bit.
They added 4 kids and my interest dropped off a lot more.
They added even more trolls and I really couldn't give a shit any more.

Homestuck has always been getting worse by trying to add too many new things, now it's getting killed off completely because Hussie tried to ride his popularity into a video game, it's almost poetic really.

I started reading Homestuck when Jade was being introduced. I got so caught up in it. That shit was my heroin. But then the troll arcs, and the Alpha children and the alpha trolls make huge dents in my desire to care, but I still kept up on it. But no, after so long, I don't even know if I'll bother to read the ending, if it ever happens. I can't even be assed to remember 80% of the shit that's going on.

Hussie is merely playing it safe because his fanbase (aka paycheck) are easily-triggered tumblrites who will boycott him to eternity if he doesn't pander to them.

>>79111055
90% of their interactions are just shipping trash. Jane defined a good part of her time to being devoted to Jake, which she later said was, in retrospect, super fucking dumb. Roxy stayed in the background and just responded to whatever Jane was doing. Dirk's angst eclipsed Dave's. Jake never grew out of his thickheadedness and everyone blamed him for being a retard when they, in fact, were just as retarded as him.

Nobody did anything significant so this is all that came of their interactions. It was a fucking chore to read, and I despised Hivebent for doing exactly that too.

Im a retard can you explain how stable time loops work.
>>
>>79112124
Angry time traveler "Joe" appears in front of you, tells you that you punched him in the face in the future, and pushes you down a flight of stairs in revenge. Now, because you know that you will punch him in the future, you seek him out at some point later and punch him. This causes him to swear revenge and travel back in time to push you down a flight of stairs.

In Homestuck, if a stable time loop is broken and someone causes a paradox by doing something they're not supposed to, then the current plane of existence is considered "doomed", and bodies start inexplicably piling up. Eventually a time traveler will realize what went wrong, and go back in time to fix the mistake. He then dies because he's from the doomed timeline.

One character alone gained ultragod powers and was allowed to ignore these rules, so he retroactively vandalized the entire comic out of sheer spite.

You know, it'd kind of weird how Homestuck was even a thing. How did it even get there? If you read it as is, it's probably more of a weird, surreal slog, mixed with Ulysses and typical Shounen hype building with hiatus'

Yet people like me and other latched onto it harder than a tick on a sick and dying dog.

It updated. A lot.

Unlike with some stuff, where you'd have to wait a week, or suffer through months of breaks, Homestuck, at its peak, updated multiple times a day. Sometimes in the dead of fucking night.

It might not always have been top tier quality stuff, but the output was insane for a while.

Three reasons.

1. This is the most important part and why the comic died. It updated like, 3 or 4 times A DAY, SIX DAYS A WEEK, ENDLESSLY. Or so it felt like. This is why it worked. This is the ENTIRE reason it worked so well. It was like a daily soap opera, but for online people, and with the bonus of-

2. Simple colorful art. Sprites to make it reminiscent of games. Instant appeal to nostalgia AND to kids. Hussie came from the Penny Arcade forums (which should tell you lots really).

3. Simple witty dialogue. Yeah, his writing eventually degenerated into trash, but in the early days he Kept It Simple, Stupid. It was all jokes and repartee and not much overly serious. It felt like a game instead of some convoluted ironic statement. It was built off Problem Sleuth.

Combine that with frequent little flashes (which comics hadn't done before really), catchy music, and this strange plot with cool colorful places (LANDPORN!) and neat concepts (GAME LORE AND MAGIC ITEMS), and it was like a big fat fish hook, especially when you started to see panels of it pop up in others place now and then and wondered "who are all these easily-recognizable little sprite people from".

Snowballed from there.

Right into Hell.

woah, really? Is there any other interesting facts that I'm not aware of because I started reading it when the hype was dead?

Originally there was interactivity, too. You, the reader, could help dictate where the plot went.

Soon enough though that was dropped. And the frequent updates stopped. And the music team essentially disbanded.

The comic did ok for like, a year and a half after reader input stopped. Really, the peak was Act 4 and the Intermission. I was already feeling disinterest and fatigue from how long we spent introducing all 12 trolls and going through their thing. Then when we got back to the kids, it felt like the momentum from Descend was weirdly gone, and then it was just trolls trolls trolls trolls, instead of sticking focus on the kids and allowing the trolls to just pester them like they did for the first few Acts.

From there it just got worse and worse. Then the updates stopped happening every day and the comic was effectively dead by then, people just didn't know it. Cascade was the last hurrah before it zombified. That was when I ditched.

Thankfully Toby seems to have humility, unlike some of his peers, since he's already gladly said on record he'll never be able to make any game as grand and lightning-in-a-bottle as Undertale, and I wish him a good future as a music producer, since I imagine he has some people knocking down his door to do that, and he makes genuine good music. It's the best compensation I can imagine for Homestuck's death, and it's hilarious to see history repeat itself with the fandoms and the flame wars.

The only thing I think he needs to release is the bonus content from the Kickstarter. Whatever my opinion or anyone's about the game, at the least I respect the dude for setting a better precedent for a Kickstarter projects (low cost, tight focus, has a programmer, musician, artist right out the gate), little impact as it'll probably have.

Not gonna lie though. Sometimes I listen to the older albums and remember the flashes when Hussie was at his peak, and it makes me wish for a collab game with him doing the art for scenery.

For me it's still gotta be seeing Skaia, Jack putting on the ring, and Descend.

Actually no. My ultimate personal favorite, the one that SOLD me on the comic, my click moment, was seeing Rose's Land for the first time; the music made it an INCREDIBLE moment. The comic was so goddamn full of mystery and wonder. I never in a million years thought it'd turn into such an unhappy uninterested slog. I thought that shit was gonna be short and tight and over within a year or two.

It's a place to deploy a device that feeds Skaia all the grist you've collected so far. Skaia requires an insane amount from all players to successfully transform into the pond where the genesis frog can mature into a universe. The "grist hoards" that Skaia requires are guarded by the denizens, but Homestuck skips over that part because Hussie forgot or didn't care.

The most logical thing is that the other scars are probably on the legs

Huh.

>>79114050
Huh!

Wow it's almost like reading Act 3 and 4 again. I imagine that bit in all its anemia was sandwiched between 200 pages of romance drivel and action that happens offscreen.

Well thanks for solving that mystery. I can't even think of any other old questions I had that the comic left unanswered.

I wonder if Hussie realizes he could have made a murderer's fortune if he had simply made a big heavy book titled "Shit About SBURB" and filled it with just useless factoids, tons of land art, designs and such, lots of game session trivia and Prospit/Derse stuff, maybe a few random scenes of 'how Sburb normally works' and sold the thing for a mean $80 or whatever. He would have made a killing.

It was sandwiched between the worst character in Homestuck, worse than anything your mind could come up with.

Well I've drifted by here once in a while after it became a ghost town, do you mean like, hyper catgirl incest Rose? Or dickgirl Davepeta or whatever the hell?

It was a massive anticlimax because it was one of the few things that we still looked forward to seeing, and it was a huge letdown when it finally happened. The kids never got those grist hoards, and they never did this stuff themselves. None of it fucking mattered because ipgd's "amazing" art had to be shown instead for a completely forgettable joke.
>>
>>79114132
logically, the back legs of the grub would have been their real fucking legs.

Doctor, partly because of how unexpected and great the little game segment was.

That was part of why Act 4 was the peak for me. It felt like everything was about to hit the midpoint of the comic and build steam to some crazy end.
>>
>>79114465
Oh, well then that answers why there is only 2 scars from 6
>>
>>79114683
if grubs have six legs. Two of them would become arms and two would become legs, the other two would recede/fall off
>>
>>79114331
oh god, don't remind me. Those last few updates were so awful. Plot threads weren't so much tied up as swept under the rug. The characters I was most looking forward to seeing develop got ruined, and now we have less than 80 pages to wrap up all the player arcs.

Hussie got fucking burned out, and I doubt that would have happened if he wasn't working on finishing a webcomic, making a game that's not going to get finished, dealing with his dad's death, and legal proceedings all at the same time
>>
>>79112958
Lots of multimedia stuff, but for me it was always the wit. Hussie's sense of humor in the first few years was perfect for me. It's weird looking back at the log and realizing how short up to Cascade is compared to the rest of Homestuck (like two and a half years out of seven), but that time is when I got all my enjoyment out of it.

>>79114683
2 turn into arms

2 turn into legs

the last two become vestigial
>>
I started reading during the gigapause. Did people hate the trolls as much when act five was updating? I liked that part, and it feels more like Hussie ended up ruining them in act six, just like everything else. They did a great job pushing the story along until act six completely butchered all of their characterization.

That's not how pupation works. Butterflies don't have like 40 vestigial marks, for example.
Although let's say the middle two nubs do become something. Obviously, it's the nipples

>>79115499
They were 12 trolls vs 4 kids, some had associated powers and emphasis on things like blood color. Most knew they would eventually become more important than kids/exiles/etc on the fanbase

I hated them when I first read through the comic but after rereading it they all grew on me to the point where I enjoyed most of their shenanigans, up until act 6 at least. After that it was all down hill for me, both upon initial and subsequent readings.

>>79115765
They don't produce milk, but they do have nipples and the breasts do something. ARquius mentioned it

Well, if it's any consolation, perhaps with Hiveswap swapping to a 2d art-set, it might make things a bit more smoother for Hussie.

Shame it's just gonna get the same treatment as Duke Nuke'm, too little, too late, and not really up to anyones expectations.

In-comic bait. People have been wanting to know for a long while. He'll never tell us, and never had any intention to.

Three years and all we have is a fucking walk cycle.

Yeah the game is never happening. The comic is gonna end and the game is gonna burn out to nothing in another 3 years. Not even Radiation could save him now, but hopefully we get a few good tracks made by him out of it.
