Author Topic: What happened to the Homestuck game kickstarter? {(!!Grain of salt warning!!)}  (Read 1162 times)

recently, the person who (apparently? too lazy to like find a source for this but it's somewhere im sure) made the Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff cover art for its official hardcover release, posted on their blog a detailed description of why the homestuck game, which had over 2 million buckaroos to work with, has not even gotten close to being finished after about 2 years.

the tl;dr is: the developers of King's Quest (yes, King's Quest) stole all of the kickstarter money and did not spend any time developing the game, leading to the game being started from scratch with almost no funds.

i vaguely recall hussie stating the lack of progress comic and game-wise was complicated, and he didn't want to write out a sob story to garner sympathy. if this is true, i'm not sure why he held back.

again, take most of this with a grain of salt, even though they provided a pretty damning video link in the post. problem is we have no way to prove someone with a blog titled "starscream's craterous robot pusillanimous individual" (carolcat???) is telling the truth about their connection to this game, but still.

don't click the links on their blog labeled "my research art" for obvious reasons
