Yes. I've laughed more at the art than I have at the writing. That's how poor the writing is. And you know it's gonna be toothless and safe too, because the rating is E10, and not even for mild language (which lets you get away with some light cussing).

>>389528806
Well, I was trying to remain cautiously optimistic, but the dialogue so far is boring.

Joey is the main character of Hiveswap. She's Jade's half-sister and wants to be a vet and is a furry. So of course one of her toys is a dog with puppies coming out of its giant plush vagina. You know, rated E10.

Yeah. She's dead now and Joey fucking hates Jake for leaving them alone. All of this is played up to be as fucking boring as humanly possible, so any drama, intrigue, or interest that could be generated from such a storyline and its implications is inoffensive at best. There's none of the edge or humor you'd expect and want.

Hussie just outlines the plot these days, he's got nothing to really do with this, but is probably the only reason Jake fucked a woman.

Meh, it'll be aight for something to do. I don't think it can disappoint me more than the final half of act 6 with a couple okay bits.

Does Homestuck even have a fucking fanbase anymore? How do you fuck up so badly to release your game AFTER your comic has already ended and your entire lightning-in-a-bottle fanbase has moved on to greener pastures?

>>389529987
Myststuck tier. Approachable, and okay. Generally most of the puzzles avoid nonsensical 90s stuff, and there's some decent portions.
But like I said, it's irrelevant because it's bogged down by Cohen and his lack of anything. The writing needs to be the game's strong point, and it's by far the weakest.

>>389530064
if it counts for anything, i sometimes think back to better days and wonder what could've been if hussie hadn't relegated the comic to basically a bunch of fan-submitted art and guest writers in the end

>>389530064
There is a fanbase, but it is now made of:
1. people who passively enjoy it and now have jack shit to talk about
2.Tumblr

>>389530064
there are always fans for things, even long past their death, and especially so for one so freakish as this one
(consider that there WILL be men today who grow to be senior citizens and still love mlp)

I would have got it but I don't want to support this cunt that's involved. Hussie should have been a part of it.
He's still living off royalties, right? Doesn't have to do shit for life?

>>389530345
Hussie started up another company called Homestuck Inc, defined as some sort of media company, that got a half million investments. Cohen isn't listed as part of it like it is WP, so, hopefully, he'll only be involved with the game side and any future endeavor won't have his shitprints on it. I feel like Hussie knows to some extent people think he's bad, seeing as Hussie canned the Cohen-written snapchats a while back.

>>389530470
>seeing as Hussie canned the Cohen-written snapchats a while back.

>>389530554
He did. Cohen was starting this plotline and promised that it'd continue in a few weeks, when it suddenly stopped. Nobody's said anything, but much like Paradox Space comics, it's an indication that they realized it was a failure. And most people didn't like them. They weren't funny and also had some weirdly disturbing implications.

>>389530663
Looking through Cohen's twitter, I'm not sure what Hussie sees in him at all.

>>389530663
>weirdly disturbing implications

Such as?

>>389530942
They're friends. They knew each other through Ryan North.

>>389530947
Cohen's trying to be as anti-trump as possible... so his ideal society in the snapchat updates... is a hyper religious monarchy ruled by immortal godkings (who are also CEOs and supplanted the existing democratic process, which was what WV FOUGHT AN ENTIRE BATTLE to avoid), and is also segregated by race.
See the issue?

I wouldn't mind the infinite delays if it meant Hussie was still writing. Yes, the end of the comic was a mess but Hussie can still write well when he wants to.

>>389531012
>They're friends.
Yeah but he's... uh... very colorful.
Not the kind of person I'd expect Hussie to be friends with I guess.

>>389531079
oh shit i forgot about the paradox space comics, that one was actually pretty good

>>389531079
damn right
in the same sense as Valve > EA

>>389527284
I never bothered to finish homestuck after the intermission bits with the ace dudes or whatever. I'd play the shit out of a Problem Sleuth adventure game though, as long as it was totally original and Hussie wrote it.

>>389531101
