[Webcomic] MSPA: Let me tell you about Homestuck...

Whoa, guys. Update on the kickstarter!

For those of you who don't get backer info, here is what the game will NOT have:

• You will not be able to design or customize characters. The game includes a hard wired cast of protagonists.

• The game will not involve Sburb. It won't be some crazy MMORPG involving kids playing Sburb and the insane number of things that would entail. For one thing, Sburb is a very broad and ambitious game concept which implies a project with a much bigger budget than the one this has. For another thing, that idea is not quite what an "adventure game" is. And besides, in my view, a bunch of kids playing Sburb is what Homestuck is about. This game will be about something different.

• Game will not be multi-player. Again, that's not really how adventure games work.

• No voice acting. VA in this game sounds like a can of worms to me, and too easy to do badly. I'm personally not that big on VA in games like this anyway. I think it'll be a stronger product without it.

What the game WILL have:

• New characters. All major characters in the game have never appeared in Homestuck before.

• New story. As mentioned, does not involve Sburb, but does take place within same fictional realm as Homestuck. Events of story have only a loose relation to canon HS storyline. It is not necessary to read HS to play game.

• Trolls.

And a preview of one of the characters!

 Spoiler

Now, what I think about this... I'm disappointed with the lack of SBURB involvement but I'm not gonna turn it down just for that. I'm still very much excited for it! Also, the preview character is a cutie. It'll also be in 3D, it looks like. :o
