The door is nearly open HIVESWAP:ACT 1 available NOW on Steam and the Humble Store! store.steampowered.com/app/623... www.humblebundle.com/store/hi... www.hiveswap.com
Considering that in one of the pictures Trizza was already confimed to be in kahoots with the "white man" and all the green sun references, I'd be surprised if Scratch DIDN'T show up.
But you forget Doc Scratch is Alternia's first guardian AND he's the only known first guardian to speak (At least, not in incomprehensible white noise), so it would be Doc Scratch in this case
Well, not necessarily. Pretty sure Paradox Space is implied to be infinitesimal, meaning it could be a brand new First Guardian; on a brand new variation of Alternia.
in my own opinion and if i'm being totally honest... this art style looks so much better than the old cg stuff from back in the day. really pleased this seems to be turning out so well in the end!
I had just upvoted that original post, but then noticed it previously had 413 likes and I was ruining everything. Thank goodness I can unclick the like button to keep it at 413!
KARKAT STRIDER A fandom isn't bad until it gets to the point of nothing but smut by its fans. Thats why fnaf, undertale, and other fandoms died off quick. Homestuck fandom just went on with life after so much age. Im excited for Hiveswap and all the shenanigans that will occur though. XD
undertale's fandom hasn't died off and it's been almost two years, what are you talking about? i don't see why anyone tries to act like this fandom is better than stuff like undertale's, honestly, every fandom filled with mostly teenagers is bound to have its own share of garbage. as someone who's read the entirety of homestuck and likes it a lot (if the fact i did such a thing and my avatar don't give that away Bp) i honestly dislike homestuck's more than undertale's.
This game has been delayed so much that it'll release after I die. Hussie is waiting for his fans to die, just to make the biggest troll in history, I swear
While it's true that hiveswap has been delayed for a lot, remember that they had to learn how to program and start from 0 when three kings took the money. Also, look at the animations, they're not like homestuck flashes with the sprites and images, they're actual animations, they look really fluid and wellmade. So even if i have to wait 1 year more i will still be hyped about this.
Games are like that mate, you cant really determine a definite release date because something could always go wrong. Whether the developer decides to release a piece of shit or take the time to fix the problems and publish a well made masterpiece makes all the difference, and time is what they need to do the latter.
At a certain point, there's enough trailer footage that fans take it and make their own games. Eventually, people get suspicious. "With this much gameplay footage, there has to be a functioning game to get the footage from!" they say. And just like that, it all falls into place. Hiveswap was not an adventure game, but rather an ARG. The real game was in the fans piecing together the adventure game out of trailers and sneak peaks. We've finally won.
It always exists. The void is a very confusing place. In my interpretation though, I think this hints at Becquerel taking on a role in the game. Or maybe Doc Scratch. Probably even both.
>mfw no release date Remember when this game was supposed to be out in a few weeks from January? Good to see progress is being made, at least. As long as it comes out eventually.
Thing is, I think Hiveswap will be released way before hte first rival. But who knows? Maybe Osana will be released before the end of 2017 or Hiveswap will be released after the beginning of 2019.
I feel like the only reason the game has been delayed is the fact that the whole team probably didn't understand what it took to make a game, the small team, funds, and the personal issues Andrew Hussie has been going though as far as I know. I hope the game comes out soon and I hope it'll be just as amazing as the people at What Pumpkins envisioned 😄 no matter how long and how many mistakes they make
dogue Raevian I started cosplaying xefros in october and I had no fucking clue about his strife specibus and now I finally can improve this costume yaaas
By the time the last act of the 2nd episodic sequel (I forget what it's called) comes out, we'll be on 1. Back 4 More (Left 4 Dead 4) 2. Half Life 3 Episode 5 3. MOTHER 5 4. Undertale 2 5. Alan Wake 6 6. Dead Rising 8 7. Resident Evil REmake 4 8. GTA San Andreas Stories 9. PlayStation All-Stars 2 10. Bully 3: Scholarship Edition 11. Duke Nukem Forever 2 12. Portal 3 13. Pokepark 4 14. A game based on Guy Fieri and some Juggalos. 15. A game about creating a universe.
They also said the release date was January 2017. Then that it was only "several weeks". I give it a week before this tweet is deleted and we're back to wondering.
After so many setbacks, it is good to see this finally coming out. The animation looks fantastic and I look forward to playing this along with other adventure games like the Monkey Island series and the Deponia trilogy.
Looks great, all of it. Some people are saying the walk/crawl animations look choppy but the low frame rate on those is clearly intended for the retro feel, I like it. When this simple visual style of animation gets too smooth it gets that mechanical Flash animation feel to it that you see in a lot of American cartoons. Of course, Flash is an important part of Homestuck but Hussie rarely used it to animate limbs on a character, and when he did he also used erratic timings. Now if only the game would actually be OUT while most of us are still alive.
Public: Will it be on 4/13? WhatPumpkin: Nah, here's a trailer. Public: Will it be on 6/12? WhatPumpkin: Nah, here's a trailer. Public: Is it even coming out? WhatPumpkin: Nah, here's a trailer.
For all the people commenting about how long it's taken, just remember they're taking this long for quality sake, which not many game developers do now a days
FRICK FRICK FRICK FRICK FRICK; I CAN'T WAIT!!! THANK YOU TO THE TEAM PERSEVERING TO WORK ON THIS!!! I SAW THAT JUJU KEY; I SAW HOW THOSE MACHINES WERE CHERUB SNAKES. AND THE MONSTERS ARE LIME GREEN INSIDE. I AM SO HYPED RIGHT NOW THIS LOOKS AMAZING.
The game is going to be great! The music is amazing already, the graphics are amazing, and the humor is great! I hope we get to learn more about a trolls life on alternia!
I expect a lot from this wait. I want to see not just a fully flushed out Act 1, but I want the visuals and writing to be worth the wait. You've had your time, so we expect that you have used it wisely. My hopes are up, for now.
