This is a Homestuck post,
If you're not interested Don't Bother Reading.
I JUST REALIZED THAT HUSSIE SENT ANOTHER UPD8
I mean not like the Comic upd8
MORE LIKE THE STATUS UPD8
Ok I'm just Excited about this and I thought This is the Place I should share.
You can see it Here *Scroll down and you'll see an entry by Andrew Hussie.
Or y'all can read it here in this blog anyways :
introdoucing, 20104............ the NEWD YEAR
Gigapause status: STILL GIGAPAUSED.
It's almost over, right? Um, no, sorry. I still have no time estimate, or specific date I am shooting for. 4/13 would be the COOLEST date to shoot for, right? I doubt that's realistic though. Because in spite of my most religious wishes every single day, magic keeps on being fake. THANKS, "god".
What is the status, then? The status is this. Since pausing, basically all I have been doing is writing. No drawing or animation yet. Writing, writing, writing. Writing for Homestuck, and writing for the adventure game. More time has been allocated to the latter. The game is a big, big project. Let's not kid ourselves here. It's like this whole new major story and everything, fueled by millions of dollars. That's a very different situation from Homestuck, which is usually fueled by approximately zero dollars.
Homestuck probably needs another month of writing before I can start making panels. Not even to speak of Flash work. And of course, game development looms over everything as well. This feels totally different from the usual routine of write-draw-post, write-draw-post, write-draw-post, ad infinitum. Writing everything out beforehand is peculiar. And by peculiar I mean "totally conventional", in most other creative contexts. Let's see how that approach pans out. (You go out on a limb and guess it will result in the same silly bullshit as always.)
WHAT ELSE IS GOING ON?
Kickstarter - Speaking of the game, I sent out a backer update just before the newd year. The same update just went out to paypal backers too (it took a while to set up a system for that). If you backed the project but didn't notice an update, you might want to check your email. If you didn't back it, sorry these updates are <shhhh>secret</shhhh>. I mean, not really. The info gets "leaked" everywhere, if you know where to look. The point is, *I'M* technically not supposed to be the one tell you. Get it? Oh. You don't? Me neither.
One question I feel like I should answer out in the open even though I kinda thought it was obvious (there is no such thing as obvious) since I see it come up so much:yes, you will be able to purchase the game, even if you did not back the Kickstarter!
Contest - In the near future, I'm going to be putting out some neat things through We Love Fine. WLF is a cool company that makes a lot of nice stuff, that you will find particularly interesting if you are into "the fandoms". Do you like fandoms? When I was a kid we didn't even have those. All we had were shitty Atari games, and spankings.
But before they formally launch any Homestuck stuff, they're running a fun shirt design contest. There are sweet cash prizes. Hey, only participate if you think is sounds fun though. Most people won't win, because that's what a contest is, according to the way that common word is classically defined. I ain't out to waste anyone's time! I do hope plenty of people submit designs though. There's some nutty stuff rolling in. People will laugh at me if I pick the naked Gamzee shirt. DON'T MAKE ME PICK THE NAKED GAMZEE SHIRT!
Another Secret Project - Remember a while ago, I mysteriously mumbled something about a secret project? And then it came along, and it turned out to be Namco High? This is like that again. Except it's not a dating sim. Or a game, or anything like that. Also, it doesn't involve video game characters you've never heard of. It is a much more Homestuck-focused thing. That's all I'm gonna say! Ok, I lied, I will say one more thing: it's going to be really cool, and you will wonder where it has been all your life.
Vinyl Figures - These are up in the store now! For actual sale. Hehe... look at em!

I would like to discuss things because, hey, its my blog!
I'll change the font size,
nevermind.
Gigapause Status : Still GIGAPAUSED
As far as I know, the fandom has suffered for 3 months, and Hussie said that He's going to put everything all at once. As the previous Homestuck Hiatus(es), The Cascade Hiatus took approximately 5 months. So in conclusion, He will be needing half of the year or something. and as said from above, he just need a month more for finishing the written story, then he'll make the panels. not to mention the Animation, flashes, and the Adventure Game. Boy, its going to be a long way to survive the Hiatus.
Anyway, publishing it at 4/13 would or wouldn't be the best idea neither.
The Kickstarter Game has fully backed up. The backers will get upd8tes, unfortunately it is too l8 for me to back up and I'm pretty sure my parents won't allow me anyway. but when he said 'non-Backers can purchase the game as well', My question has been satisfied.
The Design contest is currently on-going. but I wouldn't submit any because I'm not sure I'm interested at the contest. But the Cash Prize are like yoooooooooooooo.
The Secret Project is the MOST thing I am suspicious about. dude, Hussie said that it's going to be really cool, and you will wonder where it has been all your life. I'm Concerned.
- Its not a dating sim.
- Its not a game or whatever that stuff.
- It doesn't involve video game characters you've ever heard of.
- Its more Homestuck-Focused thing.
At first, I thought it was the SBURB game, like actual sburb game where you can cause the goddamn End of the World *hey i can dream alright/, but then I remembered that 'Its not a game'. damn what could possibly is it?!
What about a movie? maybe. but It doesn't involve video game characters you've ever heard of. maybe New Characters or something
What about a Convention? no w8 that is too ordinary, a Homestuck festival/Fun Park? nevermind.
It is more Homestuck-Focused thing <== it is a clue.
Its going to be REALLY cool and you will wonder where it has been all your life <== CLUE
aaaargh I'll search on tumblr what is their suggestions is and maybe make another entry.
VINYL FIGUREEES
GIMMEGIMMEGIMME
yo I have been w8ting for Homestuck Figures you have no. idea.
but it is $38.00 US, nevertheless the Shipping ugh,
here I must add about $10 which that makes $48 = approximately Rp480.000.
Maybe I'll convince my dad for my Birthday gift (few months away lol)
or maybe I'll purchase the Adventure Game Instead.
