The three year journey and alpha kid session are spent getting shit done in spite of everything. John Jade and Dave Sprite explore the Lands and master their powers better, setting things up so they can finish their denizens quests the split second they wake up. The meteor crew pore over the library finding clues on how to beat LE and actually alchemize some useful shit. Jane Dirk et Al mastermind a coup on Derse and usurp Betty Crocker's command of the kingdom

The other two things are have Calliope and Karkat merge all instances of everyone into their 'Ultimate Selves' so GO wasn't meaningless, and ACTUALLY SHOW HOW THEY TRIUMPH OVER LE IN THE FINAL FLASH HOLY FUCK

Go back in time trying to warn Hussie not to ruin Homestuck, inadvertently causing Homestuck to be ruined (except in a few doomed timelines).
>>
>>89690288
Making sure Hussie never meets Halftruth is essential, but the main thing would be convincing him not to do the Kickstarter until after the comic is ended. So yes, just make sure he doesn't get turned into an SJW by that woman's vagenda, and don't divide his attention with a 2.5 million dollar diversion, and it'll all turn out okay.
>>
I suggest that you re-read the comic from beginning to end.

Especially if your reaction to that sentence was highly negative.

You'll find your peace there. You'll be able to let it go. Relive the good, and examine every ugly scar of the bad, within a condensed frame of time. You'll never look back once you come out the other side of it.

No, you can keep her, just let her stay dead after 5-2.

Her realizing she did a lot of bad shit, and dying for it, was fine. She even got a free John to get with to die everything up in a little bow.

Seriously, you didn't need anything more.

I would kidnap Hussie and prevent him from interacting with anyone until he completed the comic.

Keep focusing on the concept of the game as a facade, and the underlying conflict between Skaia and the Horroterrors as the final layer of events. Let LE be a piece of that puzzle, instead of an tangential entity. This way SBURB, LE, the Trolls, and everything, are all part of one unified goal and mystery. Splitting half the plot into being about SBURB to suddenly shift to LE being the big threat, and everything about SBURB being largely irrelevant, absolutely shattered everything gain in the first half of the comic.

Speaking of unnecessary shifts that ruined everything, fuck time skips, and fuck the Alpha kids. You could introduce the Alphas as side characters that are introduced when the Betas meet them, that way you can use the established Betas and their relationships with their Guardians as a basis to begin exploring the Alpha's characters, rather than having to begin from scratch, as well as destroy the pacing as everything grinds to halt. But the time skips have to go, plain and simple.

This. Homestuck was good when he only had to focus on writing Homestuck. Having to produce a game and then having to deal with getting jewed by the production company obviously made the hiatuses worse.

And who the fuck produces a spinoff game before the original series is even finished?

Hussie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BpgUQYARIsw

Hivebent is one month long as originally indicated, while all the non-patron trolls are only featured extremely briefly or exist in minor background roles. Vriska's arc is largely merged into Terezi's, and Vriska is only used as a prop to characterize her. At no point is shipping mentioned in the story.

Fix Hivebent, fix Homestuck. Everything gets solved if it happens differently.

I would give the keys to Cohen
>>
>>89692517
I don't know if Cohen could have finished the story better than Hussie, because he seems to approve of and continue to build off on Hussie's very worst ideas, now that he really does have the keys to the comic in his hands.

I don't think Cohen is a good writer because he doesn't see a problem with the fact that Jack Noir is living Spades Slick's life, with Spades Slick's wife. His snapchats just don't have any punch to them in general, but that's what really gives me pause.
>>
>>89692120
But interacting with the fans and riffing on their ideas even after the box was closed was a huge part of what made Homestuck what it was. It's a tragedy in the proper Ancient Greeks sense of the word.
>>
>>89692517
>>89692650
Who's Cohen?
>>
>>89692730
A man who made a funny joke on Twitter once.

Hussie saw that joke, and liked it so much that he made this man the head writer of Hiveswap, and then let him write all of the post-canon content for Homestuck outside of the "end credits."

I'm telling you the straight truth here. This is not embellished or exaggerated.

Andrew Hussie is a self-loathing betacuck numale whose been emotionally castrated by Halftruth and literally castrated by IPGD. All of his friends and employees are SJWs who demonize men and it comes through in his writing of all male Homestuck characters been wimpy and emotionally broken and the female characters as strong independent women who don't need no man.

Hussie came up with the Ultimate Self bullshit at the last second because he wants credit for an alternate version of himself who finished Homestuck in a satisfactory way.

>most cutting thing you can say is "who's this clown?" because it implies they're a) a clown & b) not even one of the better-known clowns

It was a good joke, but nothing he's written for Homestuck has been funny or even interesting, so we don't expect anything from Hiveswap.

The really funny thing about this joke is that it applies to a man suddenly replacing Hussie as the writer of Homestuck content, and is randomly writing the entirety of a video game Hussie was supposed to write himself.

Not him, but SBURB is a parody, attempting to emulate it's mechanics would be disaster. Too much of it is impossible to work in any way that would be satisfying, balanced, or not a huge pain in the ass.

Homestuck is about the humor, characters, and setting, and more traditional turn based RPG or Action RPG best fits those strengths.

If SBURB is a parody, why should it be balanced? I would find it much more entertaining if things could be so seriously broken that your party will wipe before you even enter the Medium. Mix in Hussie's old humor that just kicks you while you're down, and you have a silly fucking ride that has a very slim chance of being beatable, which isn't even the point.

Because saying "it's a parody!" and then still forcing the player to endure it is no different than just being a shitty game. Take captchalogue, in the comic we are presented with the joke about overly clunky and unenjoyable inventory systems, and we can laugh at it because as a reader in a non-interactive medium, it's just a funny gag to watch the characters deal with. In a game, you now have an overly clunky and unenjoyable inventory system that you need to wrestle with to play the game. It's not fun.

What's more, balance is important to any game, even if it's not tight. It's not just relevant because it allows for a game to be challenge, or for encounter design to be interesting and unique, it also functions to create a proper complexity curve to teach players the game's mechanics , creates a sense of growth and progression as the game progresses, and help to keep the dissonance between gameplay and story to a minimum.

You can make a fun story with the mechanics of SBURB if you just minimize everything that isn't story, but you will never make a good game out of it.

Why would you want a SBURB game to be reasonable, coherent, or balanced?

The game could almost take on a puzzle game vibe, demanding that the player, or team of players, suss out how to navigate a tangled web of obtuse, barely functional mechanics, convoluted narrative threads, and absurd game abstractions, randomly drawn from large pools of layouts, scenarios, and game constructs, in order to meet the victory condition...

>Act 5 Act 1
Speed things up a bit, maybe. Showing off a semi-proper Sburb session (re: a session where the players aren't immediately attempting to break the session) isn't a bad thing in my opinion, but they should've gotten back to the Beta crew sooner.

Additionally, combine it and "horrorstuck" from A5A2. Leave it at a cliffhanger at the end, and revisit it later on in A5A2

>Act 5 Act 2
The above change. More stuff about the Beta crew breaking their session, less about the Trolls who had their entire session pass in the span of one act.

>Cascade
Make this the ending. The villain getting the last laugh would be appropriate for the story, given the context that Sburb is generally unforgiving and that they additionally mixed gods into the fray.

You get an infection in your mind. That infection is "People paid for the video game, but Homestuck is free for them, therefore, I need to prioritize the game they paid for, at the expense of the comic they get for free."

You go whole hog on that idea.

You're a naive, sheltered, well-off Massachusetts boy living off of daddy's patent who hasn't worked a day in his life. The studio you find that is free to develop your game is run by cunning, backstabbing cunts. They pick up on the very obvious signals that you don't know a god damn thing about a god damn thing, and make you a mark.

You finally realize you've been had, move across the country to try and get the stolen money back, and, again, because you're a naive, sheltered, well-off Massachusetts boy living off of daddy's patent who hasn't worked a day in his life, you get bent over their table and forced to be content to take back only what little money they didn't already spend out of what they took, and sign an NDA promising not to tell anyone they're a bunch of cockfuck thieves in return for their generosity.

Your dad dies.

Your girlfriend leaves you.

Oh good a Homestuck thread, I was JUST thinking about this and wanted to come here and see if I'm not the only one here with this issue.

Does anyone else just find themselves completely unable to stand Dave's character after the timeskip on the meteor? Seriously, every time he opened his mouth to spout off some pseudo-intellectual BS I just wanted to claw my eyes out, especially since it seemed like Hussie just unloaded every social-justicey problem he could into what he was saying so as to appeal to his growing Tumblr-based audience.

It wasn't even like, Rose's pseudo-intellectual BS either. I could tell from the tone and how nobody (like John) ever stood up to tell him he was being dumb, that we were supposed to think he was absolutely right in everything he was saying...

They asked funding from WP directly, or did Halftruth interfere with them getting funding from elsewhere? Because those are two very different things, and all I had ever heard was the latter not the former.
>>
>>89695715
don't forget shittalking bro for no reason
>>
>>89695651
This is just conjecture, but I think the reason Hussie ditched his backers was because everything involving the game's production went so thoroughly and totally wrong that he just couldn't find the right words to explain it or address the public, especially considering he wasn't supposed to disclose the real reason why it all went south. Remember, he's legitimately autistic, they have trouble communicating.

>>
>>89695767
Right?! In an INSTANT the entirety of the HS!Tumblr fandom went from sucking Bro's dick to treating him like the spawn of Satan, worse than LE, all because Dave apparently decided while he was sulking on that rock that Bro (who, like all of the original 4 kids, had a guardian who somehow knew about Sburb ahead of time and prepared their charges for it in their own ways) was an abusive A-hole, even though that training he gave Dave had a demonstrably positive effect on his ability to handle himself once he got into the game.

The Mr. 7 comic was every bit as good as the Intermission and proved that Hussie can still be Hussie. Maybe if he fucked off and did something new, or decided to do that Midnight Crew adventure after all...

>>89695934
If we take any of the guardians seriously, they are abusive. John's fights with his Dad involve hammers, and Mom is clearly unfit to be a parent. They're exaggerated caricatures, and it's so crazy that Hussie would choose to bring Bro's actions into reality and single him out.

Out of everything I'd change, removing the soapbox from under Dave's feet would be near the top of the list. Maybe I could enjoy his character and even like Davekat conceptually (gag me with a spoon) if he wasn't such an insufferable prick, whining and moaning every time he's on screen talking to someone.

Seriously, was anyone else cringing out of their seat when he "came out" to John?

Speaking of, good God how long had it been since literally any of the original 4 kids have had a normal conversation together? I mean sure, by all means show us that things are all hunky-dory after they've "beaten" the game, but at no point during the final third of the story, either before or after the glitched reset, do Rose and Jade even share a single line of meaningful dialogue!

>>89696590
He didn't even admit he was gay! From what I recall his answer to the question of if he was was something along the lines of "man, don't put a label on me, just let me be me maaaaaan"

I kinda liked that scene, especially John's reaction. You could read it as John being a clueless but genuinely nice and supportive guy unable to "get" the "truth" about sexual orientation (and yeah with Hussie that's probably what it was supposed to be.) But the way I read it, it was more like, Dave is actually bisexual, had his first relationship with a guy, and is surrounded by this culture that is by default bisexual and just came to the conclusion that sexual orientation isn't real. Same way a lot of straight dudes just "don't get" how a guy can be attracted to another guy. And John is straight so he knows from his own experience that that's not true, but he loves his friend and doesn't think there's anything wrong with being gay so he's just trying to be supportive.

From either person's perspective the other is just clueless, but they're good friends so it doesn't really matter.
>>
>>89698780
I guess??? If that's what we were going for then the execution, in my opinion, was absolutely atrocious and leaned way too far in Dave's direction, much like how in Avengers Civil War they tease that you should pick a side but from the beginning it's clear by the circumstances that they've already decided who was ACTUALLY right.

I feel like what we should have done was gone more over the top with the presentation, with how it is now it feels less like a conversation and more like I'm actually reading a post from Tumblr, when I feel like it should have been more like a skit from some funnyman Youtuber, with over the top reactions and at least one of them yelling (preferably Dave) at some point near the end that they have no idea if any of this is actually true or if they're just making this up as they go along since there's no other remnants of humanity left to compare this to.

Introduce Caliborn and Calliope a little earlier so they're not out of fucking nowhere.
Give Cali/Calliope their own arc as well as the D!Ancestors so they're not shoehorned out of nowhere.
Make the Retcon changes actually strategic and meaningful instead of complete bullshit. Follow the dead kids and ghosts from [S] Gameover to make them plot-relevant instead of DUDE LMAO ULTIMATE SELVES.
Make the ending an hour long and the ridiculous aesthetic Frog-Universe hatching scene happen off-screen instead of LE's defeat. Wrap up every single plot-point, subarc and dangling thread in said hour flash and then give another hundred or 2 page epilogue to wrap things up even further and give an 8000+ page webcomic an actual ending instead of the non-ending anticlimax it got.

That's what I'd change. But really honestly,
>>89690493
>ACTUALLY SHOW HOW THEY TRIUMPH OVER LE IN THE FINAL FLASH HOLY FUCK
This is the biggest fuckup, spending the entire comic hyping up and developing LE and then skipping over him at the end completely was pretty weak hussie. Just give how LE is defeated like the other villains and the comic could've had a wrap. You don't even need to change the ENTIRE comic if you just did that and gave us a satisfying ending after Collide.

I would debate the rest of your post but, this seems pretty much the most sufficient summary of what happened to Homestuck.

He gave up. Life happened. Said "Fuck this shit" and handed his magnum opus off to other people because he was beat down and tired of a thankless job and thankless fandom for an obscure batshit ridiculous series that he probably realized he's wasted the last several years of his life on.

I'd probably have cracked and done that same.

Don't forget drugs. It is very likely Hussie was a prescription amphetamine popper.
>>
>>89696039
Most people choose to blame internet culture, like it must've been THE TUMBLRS, but has anyone considered that was a seriously creepy venting moment for Hussie?

Remember Dave is basically his self-insert. The implications that Dave was complaining about his Father figures treatment and lack of empathy (A year or 2 after Hussie's died no less) is kind of disturbing.
>>
>>89696590
Yeah. It wasn't really funny.
A better way of handling it would've just been Dave going like "Hey John guess what I'm a huge faggot k thnxk." And then wrapped about it hilariously like when Dave wrapped to Tavros. The comedy aspect is completely gone at that point and tone is all wrong, because the comic had gotten way too saturated in melodrama by that point.

Well, if I ever read it I'll post in a Homestuck thread if it was worth it. He's apparently working on a new thing, though. We'll see how it turns out.

I literally just finished reading Homestuck yesterday

Thought the ending was cool and sweet, but the way that LE got 'defeated' was really unsatisfying.

Any other reasons to hate the series? Did I miss out on a lot of the experience by reading it after it had already been finished?

Also, when do the events in Calliborn's claymation puppet show happen? After he sends that selfie to John? What exactly did that ultimate weapon that Vriska used do in the final battle? What is Hiveswap going to be about?

Vriska is the 8est.

>Any other reasons to hate the series? Did I miss out on a lot of the experience by reading it after it had already been finished?
For me, the only real sore point is how the Retcon removed tons of interesting character development. Karkat suffer the most of it, imo.

And the ending that seemed rushed to a lesser extent, especially has further story development could have fixed my first sore point.

Other than that, it(s not an issue for me, but many complained) people threw a tantrum when they saw the eventuality that Dave might (maybe) be bi. But i never considered the sexuality or shipping he main point of this comic, so it's not an issue to me.

>Also, when do the events in Calliborn's claymation puppet show happen?
That is part of the criticism with the rushed ending. We just don't know. Some assume that it hasn't happened yet and that is why John is staying alone; in reparation of this inevitable fight.

Unrelated, but have fun looking at this chart.

By the retcon you mean when John stopped Vriska from being killed right? I mean, I thought that was a cool idea but we could have got more development from it than just a slideshow of what they got up to at the time, it felt like the characters did a lot of completely different development for three years and we barely got to see any of it
>>
>>89696644
>but at no point during the final third of the story, either before or after the glitched reset, do Rose and Jade even share a single line of meaningful dialogue!
They barely did before the reset. IIRC, someone went through all of the dialogue between Rose and Jade and concluded that it'd be completely normal for someone to read the comic and think that they weren't friends at all, because of how little they actually seemed to enjoy talking to each other (and how little they actually talked).

>>
>>89703294
The character at the end didn't go through the develoment we saw them go through before the retcon.

Well, some did, like Rosesprite^2 who come from pre-retcon and Terezi, who merged with all of her memory, including the one from pre-retcon. But it barely mattered in the end.
>>
>>89703252

Keep in mind that the retcon shit also happened right in the middle of a series of months-to-years long breaks that killed all momentum several times.

It's also about the character themselves. If the development is lost on them, then it was for naught and interesting aspect of them are removed of their current state. The character are lessened by it.

>>89709464
I think the main issue here is that literally everyone who had some kind of issue they needed sorted had some kind of internal struggle, while pretty much everything that was an external struggle was either swept under the rug, skipped past without showing us how they solved it, or resolved by everyone just not talking about it anymore.

Every character became incredibly insular, and the only reason any of them talked to each other anymore was to vent about their own issues to each other.

>>89717227
>Can you give me a summary?
a story that starts of mundane and whimsical but possesses an exponentially expanding scope the likes of which is seen in very few works of fiction outside utterly batshit crossover fanfiction.

it's also steeped in pop culture and iddioms that are rapidly becoming irrelevant so you're better off reading it sooner than later if you're gonna read it at all.

the first act is just gags based on how frustrating adventure games like Zork and Kings Quest can be, so if you're not familiar with what that's like a lot of the jokes can go over your head and come across as a hundred pages of nothing happening.

I think I stopped when there was a screen showing that island with the volcano on it and it showed where all the characters were location wise, the comic was on break then and I never continued.

Comic was cool, I liked most of the characters and stories and the music was sweet as hell but it mostly confused me and left me feeling like "alright." I think there was a great loss having showed up so late into the game.

I'm sad it ended and apparently was disappointing overall.

Zexal actually gets better.

Ahem, about Arc-V: it was awesome. IT. WAS. FUCKING AWESOME.

Emphasis on ''was''. The first 50 episodes were great. Shit went crazy and hit the fan, basically there were things no one expected and it just kept getting better and better... till episode 50.

From there on, they enter the Synchro arc, they travel to Neo Domino City and plot starts getting stale and progression gets really slow, though it was still good.

Then, after the 102th episode or so, it gets bad. It starts really getting bad. All expectations and the hypes start to die down when Aster Phoenix appears, which is the biggest sign that they stopped caring. Like, out of NOWHERE they stop caring about the show.

Aster is completely different from how he was in GX, and from there on every single character gets their developement till that point thrown out of the window, it gets rushed and stupid, they actually regress from worse than who they are on the start and oh god, how bad it becomes.

Everything that was built up till that point crumbles and goes to shit. They started calling the series the ''Evangelion of Card Games'' and that is not even the beginning. I could explain everything, but it would spoil everything.

While I usually appreciate a bit of optimisism, this entire production has been a disaster, filled with missed release dates and flatout lies.

Actually, instead of just calling you a faggot, I'll ask you a question - what on earth makes you think it can be good? Can't be the Creative Director/Head Writer/Scapegoat AKA some guy Hussie met on twitter. Can't be that wonky animation budget. Can't be its stunning one and a half hour length.

The only thing it has going for it is music - and music ain't enough to save a project.

From my experience with Telltale the first episode will make a lot of people gush about it since they'll subconciously think the story is exactly what [their imaginary homestuck fanfiction] is, and the disappointment will only begin to become pronounced as the new episodes trickle in and the mediocrity is established.

Sure I have general expectations but I'll make my final decisions when I actually sit down and play it for myself, especially since I was one of the backers at a level where I'll get the entire game for "free".

Actually, this only applies to Episode 1 now, doesn't it?
>>
>>89722221
No thankfully Hussie said they get all of it. Then again, he's said a lot of things...
>>
>>89722221
AFAIK there hasn't been any official word on it since this:
http://mspaintadventures.com/KSupdate.html

basically it's going to be two games, four episodes each, so you get the first four episodes for free

Oh, did he? That's different.

Why did he lie about so many things? Why don't they get to beta test it? Why did he have some other dude write all of it--all of it!?
>>
>>89722288
Because he's depressed and in over his head. Though I lost all sympathy when he made a studio in fucking Manhattan like dude what
>>
>>89722270
I unironically agree with the strawman in this comic
>>
>>89722307
well I gotta give you credit, you're very determined when it comes to not having convictions
>>
>>89722270
>>89722307
As do I, at least when it comes to things like works of fiction and the like. Although I don't really know if that qualifies as "centrism" or if it's more like "wait and see-ism"
>>
>>89722307
At this point knowing Hiveswap will be a huge failure isn't a matter of convictions, it's survival instinct. Even a snake would run the fuck away from it.
>>
>>89722341
this isn't a failure to "wait and see" this like seeing the preview of Zoolander 2 and already knowing that it's gonna suck
>>
>>89722341
It means you're a pussy. Never wrong, but never right. No bitterness of defeat, but no sweet wine of victory. Might as well just remove your frontal lobe now
>>
>>89722372
I'll just save my wine for something that matters, like anime.

Deku dies in thirty chapters and is replaced by Ochako. Kamina Simon type of deal.

Boom. Predicted the future of your weeb cartoon. All with my big manly balls unafraid to be wrong.

although I regret contributing to the kickstarter, I'm getting the game for free so obviously I'm going to play it

but that doesn't mean I can't have an opinion on it now and speculate about exactly how shitty it's going to be based on observable data

if whatpumpkin didn't want us to think that this project is a trainwreck, well, maybe they should have given some kind of excuse, any excuse for being late by two years

I can always change my opinion later (but I probably won't)

Hah, joke's on you, I'm only watching monstergirl animes and Tiger Mask W this season.

>>89722654
I feel weird comparing/contrasting maidragon and a normal high schooler. It's like trying to put Luffy up against Yusuke Urameshi in a vs, the power levels are completely different.

I want you to be right but there are a great many people who are still excited to play it, they just aren't around here on 4chan. I'm going to be disappointed if it makes a profit and validates all of Hussie's lies and bad decisions.

All this time and we still technically never got an answer for why trolls have boobs.

even if it comes out and has literally no flaws, its still one eighth of the complete package and released years after it was due

I started a sketch for it but it was kinda of a bigger mess than usual.

>>89726001
It's going to be at least as good and well liked as Undertale, which was universally considered the best game of 2016.

i miss homestuck, but idk what I'd want. Probably something with sollux and vriska. they got precious little time together as my favorite characters.

Can we make a definitive list of things that happened before Hiveswap was released? I know the Liru game finally came out for starters.
