Well, at least the game can't be worse than the ending, right?

...Right?
>>
It's better to post the correct graphical display.

I honestly can't believe people even still give a shit about homestuck or andrew hussie at this point

my reaction to the ending wasn't outrage, but apathy

everytime someone mentions the Homestuck game, I keep thinking of the Yogcast game and how they'll both probably have the same fate

As a writer myself, I'm so conflicted about Hussie

His output and work ethic are(well, used to be), astonishing. He did Acts 1-4 in less than a year, and that's no small task.

But with Act 5 and beyond, he really, well... he kind of goes off the deep end. He becomes so meta that it kind of stops being funny and starts becoming both self flagellating and self-indulgent.

The meta commentary on Homestuck reaches its zenith in Caliborn's "Homosuck", but as legitimately funny as that is you really end up feeling like he's gone way too far with the meta crap.

So it's weird. I can't help but admire Hussie for his output, but I think he legitimately fell in love with himself about halfway through the comic.

I think Hussie's shame lies in the fact that he wanted to do Epic Scifi Adventure with Homestuck, but took the easy way out by going full fucking tumblr with the trolls

A shame, because at first the trolls are genuinely neat. Karkat trolling John in reverse time is hysterical and a genuinely interesting relationship.

But then it stops being about world building and how to win Sburb/Stop Lord English, and starts being about literal, actual, shipping

Like, jesus fucking christ

Really

>>82380131
You know, on second thought, people looking for a review of the game probably wouldn't want to be bogged down by the drama at first.

It'll be a separate thing then, thanks

>>82380179
Specifically it was supposed to be a creation myth/coming of age story, so some romantic entanglements wouldn't be completely out of place.

I just realized this whole segment of dialogue perfectly describes how Paradox Space exists. Caliborn's hatred for all life and desire to destroy them is the reason why the Green Sun exists and, following that, why any universe is able to exist at all.

I assume Karkat was just mistaken about the nature of the ultimate reward. Apparently winning the game grants you no powers.
It just lets you keep what few magic skills you've been lucky enough to develop through the session. Which in Karkat's case is nothing.

I'm speculating, not stating facts. Up until Act 7 we had no idea what winning SBURB made a player into, if they became actual divinities or whatever.
From what we've seen of the Act 7 flash they look like absolutely normal humans and trolls. I think it's safe to assume they didn't get weirdass transcendental powers or whatever.

She is Vriska + Meenah without their worst traits.
>>
>>82380718
How the fuck is she Vriska?

Vriska is a complete cunt. Undyne's only flaws are being willing to murder an innocent for a greater good, and dating the worst character in all of fiction
>>
>>82380763
When did Undyne date Vriska?
>>
>>82380688
Be careful there, the anti-Vriska assault force really, really hates it when you compare the spider to the fish.
>>
>>82380763
Her attitude is closer to Vriska than Meenah and her ambitions/themes (wants to be the cool protagonisty character, but she's doomed to be a side character or die, loves dumb flashy bullshit, etc) are pretty on point.

She's not really either character, but she's got elements of both.

>>
>>82380814
The "hero" Undyne wants to be and the "hero" Vriska wants to be are two seperate things

First off Undyne already IS a hero - everyone looks up to her and admires her. She's not STRIVING to be a hero- she IS one and she ACTS as one. She is somewhat self indulgent, but she does not have such a desire for attention that she'll do blatantly selfish things like Vriska

Man, fucking Papyrus is more like Vriska than Undyne, and Papyrus is a saint

No one in Undertale is as bad as Vriska except for Frisk, which is why the two of them share a theme song about being evil megalomaniacs.
>>
>>82380908
It's almost like you ignored that the first poster said she's LIKE the two of them but without the really bad parts. Nobody thinks she's Vriska, she's a way better person than that, but there's little sprinkles of her and Meenah in that character.
>>
>>82380942
But you can't just ignore Vriska's bad parts - they define her.

I mean basically you're saying Undyne is extroverted and Vriska are extroverted so they're similiar.
>>
Who is the Karkat of Undertale?
>>
>>82380957
Nobody's ignoring shit, you are literally just too stupid to understand a basic comparison is not the same as equating one character to another.

Vriska doesn't work without flaws, but we're not talking about that. What was said is that this character comes off similar to the better aspects of these two other characters.

Vriska was already a hero, even before she died she did it trying to keep her undeserving friends safe. Then her ghost literally became the hero of the whole fucking story, saving all of Paradox Space so that the next universe would be free from Lord English's influence. So don't come off with this shit saying Vriska was like some bone headed skeleton who can't accomplish anything.

>>
>>82381199
the point they're trying to make is that OFF did take itself seriously. it was popular for a good year, undertale will most likely die out the same way. Lisa is another good example
>>
>>82381199
>what is Off
One of the most popular free RPGs ever made? I guess Rush'n Attack was shit too since nobody talks about it anymore.
>>
It's interesting to compare the messages in OFF and Undertale.
In OFF, none of your choices matter (except at the very end, somewhat), while in Undertale every single choice you make is important.

And then there's Homestuck. In Homestuck your choices don't matter unless you're John Egbert or one of the few friends he helps have some impact on the timeline. Kinda lame.
>>
>>82381201
>Taming of the Shrew would be awful if it was written like Othello

That makes no sense at all
If you took the plot of Undertale and rewrote everything to be serious, taking out all the meta jokes and replacing them with more serious meta glitches that foreshadow the final scene, it'd be the same quality of game
But it'd be less popular

>>
>>82381312
>And Undertale wouldn't be as popular as it is now if it was more like Off
that's because it has it's memetic value. I don't know if you preface that by implying it's a bad thing or not, but similarly the reason homestuck got popular was the trolls, the most memified aspect of homestuck.

for both homestuck and undertale, I would not be surprised if they turned out better without pandering to what sells quickly
>>
I don't think Undertale is a masterpiece, but it's a well made coherent product

Taming of the Shrew would make for a really, really shitty drama. You can't just "change" a comedy into a drama, it doesn't work that way. It takes so much more than what you seem to think it does.

That we are eventually kicked off to /trash/
Or that we are left here as long as we keep it one thread like rwby until the epilogue comes out

>>82382951
the latter. Homestuck threads have been chill without updates for a good 2 years now, the influx of new posts and quick threads with updates like terezi remember and the masterpiece didn't really have much disdain directed to them as far as I could tell.

Alt Calliope said Jade would lose her powers.
Though Furthest Ring time is weirdly non-linear, so the Sun should never really "stop existing forever", and the new universe will have a first guardian too, an entity that'll need the Sun to be useful.
So maybe alt Calliope was wrong.

Bec is a First Guardian, his purpose is to help SBURB happens (and that means getting players into the game).
He knows some things: it's fair to suppose he was not powerful enough to shrink or teleport the meteor, but that he knew the Sprite-powers boost from prototyping would help him blow it up and protect Jade.

Actually, I wish god tier Jade had used Becsprite's enormous green laser to blow shit up. That'd have been grand.

Remember when First Guardians were super threatening and generally big deals? They were INCREDIBLY nerfed in favor of building up the Condesce, Lord English and the LE-themed Jack (he blew up all of Prospit, remember)... And then these three turned out to be major letdowns too.
Don't get me wrong, Collide was fun, but it's a shame all these threatening villains were defeated without any casualties, hell, without even a single major wound, and in such straightforward "punch it until HP <= 0" ways.

I get the sense that the people who think Dave was foreshadowed as gay because he would keep talking about dicks, they don't actually know how bros interact. As a straight cis man, Dave reads to me like a straight cis man, and I have the feeling that's because he was written by a straight cis man.

Because that's not a matter of the ending being trash, that's a matter of "le gay representation being important enough to overpower the fact that the ship doesn't even make sense".

Like, I'm bi, but I still think that Davekat is a terrible ship. Their personalities just don't mesh, but suddenly they were deeply in love, even when they seemed to have a John/Terezi-esque relationship previously.
>>
>>82386108
man you get hung up on the weirdest shit
that's nothing compared to the Trickster Arc or Terezi Month
>>
>>82386104
I think Dave being foreshadowed as gay is weird because he literally spent all the comic dating women and making actual freudian slips around women. His last acts before the retcon were calling Jane hot and dying on top of Jade in a unhomestuckly poignant scene.
>>
>>82386152

do you hear that
it's the mating cry of the homestuck ending apologist

"you shouldn't need to see it"
"the story is a puzzle you're just too stupid to figure it out"
"it's nontraditional storytelling"
"it'll get wrapped up in the epilogue"
"it's bad on purpose"
>>
>>82386910
Caliborn says that they have been "training", which confirms that it's afterwards, seeing as they didn't have time to train prior

John also mentions to Roxy that "afterwards" he can zap them all to Caliborn and beat him up

two pieces of evidence directly from the comic
>>
>>82386925
>"it's nontraditional storytelling"

These are perfectly valid points however. A story does not have to take advantage of its epilogue to be a good story because you said so.

they're excuses is what they are
a bad story doesn't become a good story just because you broke all the rules on purpose

I can relate to that, when I was younger my dad was a musician so he made me go to a music academy against my will.

I remember that my dad used to put a lot of pressure on me to follow his steps on the music field.

Homestuck needed to end in Act 5 with Bec Noir as the final villain.

I love Roxy, but she wasn't worth 4 years of agonizingly convoluted plot.
>>
>>82388092
The final villain needed to have a bigger scale than Bec Noir thanks to Hussie introducing LE and the horrorterrors and everything, but if it was going to be LE he should have made LE more threatening

I was hoping LE would turn out to be a red herring because Caliborn wouldn't stop talking about how red herrings run through his veins
>>
Homestuck should have had the same ending It had.
>>
>>82388269
physically fighting LE was always stupid, if there had to be a direct opposition to the kids it could have been like, a corrupted denizen or something
>>
>>82388357
>physically fighting LE was always stupid

Why else do you think he didn't show it? He probably never wanted to.
>>
>>82387789
I kinda wish I could have been one of these kids.
Instead I spent my time coding games that all turned out to be crap; meanwhile the guy I knew whose parents pushed into playing guitar and stuff ended up making tons of friends.
And now everyone I know is hanging out together being in bands or whatever and I'm the one who's dead inside. Feels like I missed tons of opportunities. Oh well.

>>82387739
Alphys is kind of like Jane. She's got some depth and relatable flaws, but we don't see enough of her qualities.
And they get a lot of characterization from situations that are frustrating to play/read through (Alphys' frequent phone calls interrupting you, Jane and her romance problems).
Also, they get the most development in the worst timeline, which is kinda sad.
In the end they're good characters but their execution could have definitely been better...

I think the problem was simply that the Hotlands section dragged on for too long. My guess is that Fox did not really know how many confrontations with MTT he shouls use and what the pacing should be like to set up the situation of Alphys engineering the whole scenario to become your sidekick.

I do love that it's more of a twist the better you are at the "battles" with MTT.

My comrade.
Maybe that's just how is it with game dev. And maybe writing, too. It's easy to meet people in other fields apparently.
But I'm still trying, I probably won't make the next Undertale (and I don't want to) but maybe I'll get some recognition eventually. Who knows. Although the meantime I'll probably give in and take piano lessons.

Shiiiit, my first quints. I KNEW I should have used that Vriska reaction image even though I don't really like her.

>>82388912
I don't think so. Why would he have? America's legal system would have cost him almost as much money as he could take from The Odd Gentlemen, and most importantly, it would have used at least one entire year of his time, with little progress on Homestuck and none on the game.
Don't trust the "no contract" meme, Hussie makes loads of stupid mistakes but he's not THAT dumb.

>>82388880
He could! But it'd risk putting the entire timeline in danger. Like if he stops himself from playing SBURB in the first place, what happens?

Though obviously the danger of creating real paradoxes didn't stop him from punching Vriska back to life. He could go back and try to retcon everyone back one person after the other, but he won't because he's John and Hussie does not care.

If the rumors about the Kickstarter money being stolen by the original dev team are true, then why the fuck doesn't Hussie come public with it? It would do a world of good with winning back his fanbase's sympathy and trust. Plus he could sue the fuck out of the original team and earn that dosh back. Why has he been so tight-lipped about what went down?
>>
Homestuck was honestly never good. Acts 1&2 were average, 3&4 were certainly fun but 5 onwards was not good. The only good thing in homestuck is the intermission and the PM WV AR story pre-cascade
>>
>>82389300

think of the retcon as back to the future, but the intermission as primer.

Act 5 was good and I'm taking that to my grave
>>
how come the Alpha kids monsters didn't end up resembling what was prototyped? how come we never saw Nepeta imps?
>>
>>82389397
because the retards only prototyped them after entering the medium, hence no data was collected for the imps
>>
>>82389325
I think he got some of the money back and part of the settlement was that he couldn't talk about them stealing money from him
>>
>>82389397
None of the kernelsprites where prototyped pre-entry. When players enter, that's when the kernel splits and goes to the prototyping towers.
>>
>>82389397
It was after they entered, plus im pretty sure the imps dont get traits from actual people

>I KNEW I should have used that Vriska reaction image

>>
>>82389325
They went with a sort of amicable settlement involving a Non Disclosure Agreement, is what's most likely.
Suing the Odd Gentlemen would have cost money and time Hussie can't afford to spend and would bring him very little profit. It's ridiculous to assume he's loaded with enough cash to fund a case that might last a year or two, and particularly stupid to want him to drop both HS and Hiveswap for the whole time in order to do so.
>>
>>82389075
>>82388950
I remember he couldnt make a contract because it would violate kickstarters ToS of passing money to another party so he tried to do so under the table.

>violate kickstarters ToS of passing money to another party
that doesn't make any sense, I don't think that's actually in the ToS
>>
>>82389325
They gave TOG 700k out of the 2.5+ million USD from the Kickstarter, of which they've legally "spent" half on the game. Hussie did some legal bullshit and got around 300k of it back with a settlement that included "only being able to disclose information through Kickstarter" or something, which he did, and IPGD made a post about it on her Tumblr before taking it down, so nobody could be held accountable or something. Add to that the profits of What Pumpkin from all the merch they've sold thus far, and money is probably the least of Hussie's concerns.

The game was delayed repeatedly because of TOG wasting their time, and WP being incompetent as fuck since they've never made a game before (see: the recent switch to 2D and episodic installments, something TOG or the money had nothing to do with).

The problem is that he's done nothing in the meantime to give anyone confidence that Hiveswap wasn't a scam. I think more than the gigapauses and bullshit writing the comic has been inflicted with, the one nail in the coffin to the fanbase has been the Kickstarter. Look how long it took to even get an update that it would be moved to an in house development team. He hasn't communicated at all for the reason behind the horrendous delays and it's to the point where people think he took the money and ran.

Maybe it would've taken a long time to finish the main comic, but I bet you that if he had just been honest from the start and refunded the KS money by calling the game off the moment shit got too real, Homestuck would've died a far more respectful death than the puttered out, sad little one it got.
>>
>>82389745

Hussie made one of his most devastating mistakes in deciding to do the Kickstarter before the comic ended

Though part of me feels he did it because he knew he was shit and the comic was failing this was his last chance to hype it up and make it happen

These days he'd be lucky to scrape up to a $1,000,000

So what? I must be a retard because I still don't get this. They gave TOG donated money for the explicit purpose of making a game. They violated their contract and used the funds for other unrelated projects. How is that not against the law? From what I'm seeing, they should be afraid of Hussie because he has all the cards in this situation and they don't.

The kickstarter happened during the part of act 6 where the cracks in the comic were really starting to show and that's why I didn't fund it. I think Hussie knew he was going down either way and thought maybe branching out and making Homestuck a franchise could save him.

He should have waited until the end of the comic, then partnered up with Toby to make the Honestuck game.

Retro EB graphics + Undertale's humor and music + it being made at the best possible time at the height of Undertale's popularity would've been more than enough to win the crowd back plus get new fans.

I genuinely can't remember if that was me who recommended that or not, though regardless I can heartily endorse it. I remember noting that its story progression, the author's reputation, the evolving scale of the setting and other traits are very similar to Homestuck a couple of weeks back, not to mention certain specifics like genocidal fish people. Anway, you can find all of One Piece in friggin COLOUR here http://kissmanga.com/Manga/One-Piece-Digital-Colored-Comics/Chapter-001?id=257467, or in black and white with a bit of a search.
>>
>>82389903
I think the problem is that in the eyes of the law, they didn't technically "violate" anything. It's possible Hussie never even signed a contract with them, or that the terms didn't explicitly state what he wanted. TOG did technically make a "playable demo", if Hussie took them to court and said "they never made anything", they could just go nuh-uh and show the judge the demo and the art assets.

You can't sue someone for making a shitty unplayable game when you didn't ask them not to.

Because they're retards and thought that an old, obscure LP offered to them by a noteworthy studio would be their ticket to fame of some webcomic based game. The fact that they jumped at the chance for King's Quest despite how literally no one cares about it shows how desperate they were to join the big leagues.

Same. I saw the writing on the wall. No way did I want to fund something with the comic not done, on Kickstarter, for a game that had nothing to do with the interesting parts of the shitty comic, i.e. Sburb and shit.

I still think he could have done it very easy by making a 'Session Manager' style game, where you don't actually play as kids and such, but rather you do it by random events and expeditions and choices, allowing everything else to be automated, so all you gotta do is stuff like 'allocate grist to X' and 'send Kid 3 on 3 day quest' or 'research lore on Prospit [random event unlocks clues to Godtiering' with popups, etc etc etc

As a One Piece reader as well, I would agree with going on kissmanga's color chapters. Early one piece scans tend to be pretty shit on most sites that still have it, but the group scanning the color chapters use good raws and translations. They'll also take you pretty far into the manga's run.

It doesn't really matter that much when:
- Red Miles, even before First Guardian powers got added in, could match this in destruction
- Jake's huge cueball hopefield could beat this, and anything for that matter
- It wouldn't work on Vriska or Clover or Lord English
>>
>>82390063
It probably would've been cheaper to do it that way too. Homestuck is more inspired by Earthbound than Undertale is so why wouldn't a game based on it use Earthbound style graphics, especially when it's the hip thing to do these days with indie games?

Alright, here's what my MSA friend is saying

TOG probably were lazy and neglected their contract, but the fact that Hussie hasn't blasted them over the media means he's doing something sketchy with the money too

Legal arbitration requires a through audit, and one RATHER COMMON theme with crowdfunder ventures is heavy internal misuse of funds

TLDR: TOG probably did bad shit, but Hussie is quite obviously hiding stuff too, since legal arbitration would require an audit

Ok people, I've got a friend of mine who's currently reading Homestuck for the first time; I'm also re-reading certain bits, whenever he asks me something or he points me to a page he enjoyed, and I admit I had forgotten how fucking amazing some thing were in the first 4 acts (the buildup to WV: Ascend, the discovery of ectobiology, the whole deal with the Rose/Kanaya conversations, the timeloops that neatly closed themselves after hundreds of pages and made everything suddenly work, and all of the rest)
He's about to arrive do Descend and I know we are both gonna enjoy it like little shits, I seriously can't wait

The point is: I was thinking of telling him to stop once he reaches Cascade. I know that it's not the conclusion and leaves a lot of open questions, but so does THE FUCKING FINALE, and honestly I would prefer for him to leave it on that high note.
After all, if we want an "open ending" (we all know that Act 7 can't even be called that, but let's pretend for a moment it is), Cascade makes sense: they have been tricked into creating the Green Sun, implying that it's an inevitability they can't change, they are all God Tier now, which is a sort of conclusion for their character arcs (it's not like they got any sort of better development and closure in their arcs after that), and a lot of stuff about time shenanigans is revealed and resolved.
All the kids are about to go to a new session, clean slate. How will it go, will they succeed this time? Won't they? Who knows. It's about the same amount of answers we got from Act 7 (did they actually go into the new universe? Was that just a possibility? What the shit happened in general? Who knows, who fucking knows), but it's way more tidy and satisfying.

He's gonna miss out on some cool stuff like Unite/Synchronize, Caliborn: Enter, A6A4, Prince of Heart: Rise up, and some other things, but on the other hand he's gonna come out of the experience with more closure and less frustration

What do you think?

Because dumb. There was nothing stopping the team of heroes who warped to fight Caliborn from doing it just a bit before he fought Yaldabaoth and earned his boons.

This is why it's hard to applause, or even give a positive shit about, Hussie's choice of ending. The obvious uses that any keen audience member would notice is ignored, which supposes that the audience isn't expected to notice this. The audience is either not supposed to be that invested in the comic, or is not thought to be smart enough, neither of which are good things for the comic.

Ideally we would see exactly how Caliborn could cope with teams of heroes retjohning in before he can cope with them via the House. Ideally Caliborn wouldn't just wait to lose.
>>
>>82390676
He's going to miss out on Roxy and Caliborn and you won't be able to complain about the ending with him
>>
>>82390676
The comic ends at Descend with everyone riding off into the sunset or whatever other ending you make up. Everything else is fanfic written by some other author after the original died/vanished under mysterious circumstances. It's interesting but not important.
>>
>>82389197
Jade should've stuffed Mom, Dad and Bro's corpses as per her understanding of family traditions, then these should've been used as prototyping fodder.

Along with a retrieved Poppop orbitting B2 Earth, we could've had weird Guardiansprites galore.

Totally fair.

>>82390676
Why not actually TELL HIM that the comic gets worse from that point and let him decide for himself?

Nah, I actually like Act 5 (archive read it), and I think Cascade would be a fitting ending

>>82390745
I know, they the two best characters of Act 6 and it's a shame to miss them

On the other hand, think about shit like Vriska: her character arc was PERFECT, she was punished for her shit, but she also started to feel bad just before getting killed by a friend who had no choice, making it fitting, tragic and satisfiyng at the same time, the perfect antihero parabola; we even had a glimpse of what could have been if that didn't happen and she challenged Bec Noir, what more could you ask? Instead she gets bastardized and her death means nothing afterwards

>>82390827
Yeah, of course I already told him that it gets bad, and I can't force him to do something either way; the question is if (an how) I should try to convince him to stop.
Imagine being an archive reader, you are pumped beyond measure and after seeing Cascade and you want to know what happens next, and someone tells you to stop
Would you stop?

Murderstuck was the beginning of the end imo. He didn't know what to do with his side characters so he just killed them, and conveniently none of the trolls that mattered died.

>>82391020
The decision to make Jack fall in love with and then flee from PM was the beginning of the end, especially after Cascade's ominous buildup to the confrontation. It was the hackiest, most forced "this needs to happen for no good reason" moment that far into the story, but not a show-stopper on its own. It being the forerunner of an OCEAN of following ones that together made everything about the story unsatisfying eventually.

Yeah, exactly. Panda's scans are shit, but unfortunately they're everywhere...even kiss's regular One Piece chapters, when kiss comes out before MangaStream (which is also pretty bad, but based on liberties taken with the script, rather than unreadability.)

The best path to go on when reading One Piece is Colored Comics until they're out, then PowerManga's scans until up to date, reading whatever Kiss has to fill whatever chapters those two miss.

If they kept to the patron trolls and swapped Terezi for Vriska it could have worked really well. Each troll would bounce off the other three to some extent, Act 5 would serve as its own little shift of focus with Karkat and Vriska getting a bit of spotlight before being shoved back into their side-character role, and we wouldn't have lame bullshit like Murderstuck.

Could've been something, anything other than boredom and shipping.

i was fine with the 3 year trip, looking forward to it even. the meteor intermissions were great. the real problem was dream bubbles. a 3rd of act six was wasted on dream bubble shit and death no longer mattered when that mechanic became all encompassing. not to mention it caused the second set of trolls to be dragged in instead of just leaving them as ancestors with cool lore
>>
>>82391460

Kiss doesn't make their own. One of the forum members does an upload of the weekly chapter, I think. It's usually Stream's scans, but if Stream is being slow, they'll use Panda's awful shit. And I don't think anyone swaps it out with Steam or Power's scans later, so they stay there. It sucks, because they're like the only manga site that wasn't CaD'd and made to take down most of the manga.

Imagine if the second major arc of Homestuck was them sailing Paradox Space and helping out the inhabitants of various universes/dream bubbles and every time they reach a new location they find another clue and get a little bit closer to solving the mystery of Lord English.

Some gruelling three year war through the bubbles to escape and roundabout English would have been amazing. You think that'd be the case. They find out how to destroy English, they escape their session to combine it with the other one, but have to spend 3 years warring across time and space to successfully evade him and gather clues and such, while picking up a crew. They could have arrived at the new session and made for a hell of a finale.

That's what I've been saying, Act 6 should have still been the kids, except they used Trollian to talk to the alpha kids and shit. We spend all of Act 5 getting hype for the kids and trolls meeting up and we never see any of it.

what would have been the fan reaction if we had actually spent all of Act 6 following the original kids, and we didn't get to meet the alpha kids until they did?
