>Hi guys! Shelby here. With good news and bad(?), maybe! The good news is, I have a job now! I am working for What Pumpkin studios on the Homestuck video game, Hiveswap. It is an awesome job with awesome people and I am so grateful and psyched about it!!
>The bad news, which is also good news for me, is that I no longer am relying on Patreon as my main source of income. As such, I really no longer have time to contribute as much to Patreon along with working on NEOKOSMOS. Now that NK is a side project to my main work, things are going to be slowing down a bit, but that doesn't mean we are stopping! It just means we feel a little bad taking monthly pledges from people when the content is just not consistent enough to warrant it.
From her patron.
Looks like $helby will be busy for a while. T-thanks $helby, just go abandon your webcomic to work on that Homestuck game job thing. Okay, thanks I guess.
>I'm gonna work for teh homosuck xDDD
why would anyone do this?
>>85049992
She needs a job.
Homestuck-Man is fucking loaded on cash. Even with the Kickstarter game scandal he has atleast 1.8 Million dollars to blow.
If anything she made the right choice by saving her only saving grace of her career.
>>85049945
Someone jizeed on her face?
>>85050035
He superglued his eyes shut.
Did she change her Pattern to pay-by-page, or is she just going to conveniently rake in the same amount of cash?
At least she's not pulling an Aaron Diaz and just pocketing cash while not working.
>>85049945
>artist needs money
>takes a job to get money
>complain that said artist doesn't have as much time to work on their passion project
I bet you aren't even a patron
>>85049992
What is a paycheck?
It makes sense since she already did work on homestuck shit before.
Hiveswap is still a thing?
What's the latest update on it?
>>85049945
What's with all the drama around this Shelby person?Anything interesting?
>>85049945
And nothing of value was lost
>>85051953
Ryan North and Hussie went to each other's houses to have a meeting and plan out the writing and planning stages a couple months ago, last time I heard.
Oh and they hired a Twitter guy as the Head-Writer.
>>85049945
Joey deserved Better
>>85050018
Hussie is paying out of pocket right now.
>>85054397

is this the hs thread tho
Do you guys unironically like this comic? I think it's mediocre at best, but would like to hear your thoughts on it....
>>85055238
Idk i just wrote "home" on the catalog and this thread seemed to be about homestuck, or at least themed about it
>>85052540
A hack that overcharges for commissions, nothing exciting >>85052985

>>85055630
>>85055680
>>85055772
>>85055832
>>85050018
Didn't that company that did the Kickstarter steal all of Hussie's money and use it to make another game?
>>85049945
Literally who? Literally what?
>>85056025
This dress is really pretty but the wings kinda suck
>>85056065
only half of it
>>85049945
Did she mix up the good news and bad news?
>>85050295
Who the fuck gives Diaz so much money? I just don't even understand. They get nothing in return, his attitude is shitty, his webcomic is obscure, and yet he is surprisingly successful
>>85056065
they didn't do the kickstarter, they were given 700k from it and had to give 350k back in a settlement
not that it matters because the rest of the kickstarter got blown on hussie's Manhattan dev office that shut down after a year
>>85056179
Don't you love how white collar criminals are only made to pay back part of what they stole?
>>85055305
It has some nice animations and an interesting premise.
>Kids raised on a spaceship as lab experiments have to fend for themselves, mysteries begin to pile
Where she'll take it we'll have to see.
>>85056149
He seems to put all his effort, which isn't that much, into marketing himself.
And this is the last god tier Kanaya that i have
>>85056207
but hussie hasn't paid back anyone anon
>giving money to SJW trash
I only support porn artists and a handful of actually good webcomic artists on patreon
Didn't that comic suck in the first place?
>Shelby is working on Hiveswap
JUST
>>85057265
>Calliope's artist working on hiveswap
It doesn't even make sense, it's a prequel
>>85057286
Timelines in Homestuck are never that easy
>>85057286
>game ends
>It's calliope telling the story to davekat's freakish mutant son
>buy homestuck 2.0, soon on HBO!
>>85057337
>yfw hollywood executives mandate Hussie strip out things like davekat and davepeta and other elements because they're "completely shit"
>>85057465
"We decided to replace the character of Vriska with Leslie Jones"
>>85056684
Hussie's the victim, not the criminal, you troll.
(And not the cute Homestuck sort of troll.)
>>85057465
>Homestuck becomes the first work in Hollywood history to be better for being meddled with by executives and marketers
>>85057612
He is both a victim and the criminal
Kikes kiking kikes
>>85057612
>'hussie dindu nuffin'
>literally every part of hiveswaps development is a shamble, including everything not related to TOG
>>85057679
TFW promised weekly updates for Hiveswap
TFW last update was in July2015
>>85057634
Hussie's a Jew?
Damn, is everyone Jewish?
>>85057720
uh no, last update was at christmas
which is still fucking terrible but don't misrepresent their incompetence
>>85056149
at least he's cut back on his tweeting after he called will eisner mediocre
>>85057679
We should have expected this when Hussie's kickstarter description was "Lol i dunno"
it is really cool not to take people's money without producing content to justify it, so at least there's that
>>85057861
>Starbound came out before Hiveswap (and even its best armor in the game is a direct homestuck reference)
>Star Citizen is going to come out before fucking hiveswap
>Hiveswap has literally been a bigger shitshow than anything
>>85057888
>its best armor in the game is a direct homestuck reference
what armor is that? i don't play starbound
>>85058052
Perfectly generic armor.
You make it from perfectly generic objects.
>>85049992
money
>>85049945
Is Neo-Kosmos good? What it is about?
>>85058378
It's awful.
>NeoKosmos is a rip off of Homestuck
>Arthur goes on infinite hiatus to work on Hiveswap
IT'S LIKE POETRY
>>85058493
>Arthur
?
>>85058554
Shelby's real name is Arthur
Hopefully you're all aware she's worked on Homestuck previously, right? This isn't new.
really glad all that time was spent re-drawing every single fucking panel of the comic and all we've gotten in months is "wow gee there sure are some more kids on this station"
fuck this comic
>>85059436
I want to breed choco Kanaya!
>>85056065
Yeah, they did
The Odd Gentlemen
ipgd said so on his tumblr and then deleted it probably due NDA
>>85058661
no one but you thinks anyone is surprised by that
>>85050035
>her
>>85056078
It is an artist whose style resembles Lauren Zuke (of Rachel and Penny, and Steven Universe), and created a webcomic in the 'click for every page' style of Homestuck.
No surprise, they got hired by homestuck to work on homestuck stuff.
>A game is much more of a team effort. It’s also very challenging, for different reasons. It’s less about doing every little thing yourself, more about generally conducting the efforts of a team of creative people. As the team grows, it’s more about conducting the conductors. It’s pretty complicated, as a lot goes into making a game. Thousands of art assets and such. One major difference is, with my comic, there weren’t many limitations. Any idea I had, I could write and draw and it could be on the website the next day. With a game, with how complicated and expensive production can get, the sky isn’t really the limit. You have a budget to consider. If you throw every crazy idea you have into a game, you’ll burn through all your money very fast.

What did he mean by this?

*shits on thread*
>>85061205
>>85061213
i hate you people
>>85061205
Yes?
>>85061205
That's not even Jade....
>>85061326
Why?
>>85061025
A rapid loss of monetary resources can be a result of—but not exclusively a result of—implementing every outlandish thought or suggestion for a potential feature into a video game, the game in question being Hiveswap in this case.
>>85061603
but...
...it is?
>>85062073
no it ain't
>>85062104
why would jade say that to pm?
isnt that animal abuse?
>>85062104
wtf i love fanwork now
She wasnt working with Hussie before?
>>85063651
Not on hiveswap
>>85055305
Decent premise, terrible execution
>>85049945
the webcomic isn't even that bad. I tried it after some anon actually recommended me to look into it and I thought it doesn't deserve all the hate it gets from /co/. 80% of the people who give it shit haven't looked into it for themselves. It's pretty mediocre but not absolutely terrible.
>>85057317
I sort of regret ever mentioning JC and Joey, but at the same time I don't.
>>85055305
Worst start to a webcomic ever. First time I saw it, I dropped it after 5 pages of literally nothing happening.
Even if you do like the intrigue, the format means you still have 10 pages at a time with literally nothing happening.
Good concept, but I'll only read parts of it when I randomly get reminded it exists on tumblr.
>>85064477
>>85049945
Will the pause be noticeable when reading it in archive?
>>85064585
I really need to play the Malkavian Mod at some point.
>>85049945
this is some literally who cares shit right here
and I hate the overuse of the word literally too
Might as well bump this quasi-HS thread.
So, it's been a while since I last posted anything related to this but I'm not dead. Got some new things done in the meantime.
>>85049945
I love this comic!!
Who's your favorite character? Mine's Iris
It makes me uncomfortable that Kanaya shitters are somehow a more extreme case of thread degradation than Fan Troll shitters.
>>85066911
