Quick reminder that 6/12 is next month

>Tim Schafer
He never looks respectable. Have you ever seen him?

Besides, Hiveswap hasn't fucked up nearly as bad as Mighty No. 9

I'm just in this for Volume 10. That's it. But fuck I'll probably buy Hiveshit anyways.

At least Joey's cute. Hussie never let up on his waifu game.

>inb4 hiveswap comes out with completely improved graphics and it turns out to be fucking amazing

A man can dream, right? My hopes were dashed since I found out that Hussie's outsourcing the writing to a Twitter hipster, though.

HEY YO FAMALAMA WHO SHOULD WE GET TO WRITE THIS NON-VOICED ACTED TEXT HEAVY ADVENTURE GAME

HOW BOUT THAT NIGGA WHO EXCLUSIVELY WRITES ON A PLATFORM WITH A 140 CHARACTER LIMIT

But seriously, how did Mighty No. 9 fuck up so bad? Where did it all go wrong?

Even given everything we know about Hiveswap, I still think it will end up better than Broken Age.

Remember, Broken Age ended up needing even more money after they blew through the 3.3 million.

Hiveswap is taking forever but I haven't yet lost hope in its quality.

>hussie isn't even writing it
>the characters are all gonna end up dead either way
Is there any point to be hyped about?

they should've made the game about the female robot
100% superior

I guess Tumblr was right about Black Terezi.

Will hiveswap work up on more worldbuilding for alternia, or will it be a character-heavy story? What are you hoping for?

Joey being a MinMaxing cunt like Caliborn

People keep mentioning that Hussie got his money stolen by the supposed developer of the game. Isn't that, you know, illegal? We know exactly who did it and what they did. What's stopping Hussie from going to court and putting their asses in the slammer?

Well for one it was a scam from the beginning. Over half the shit they reached the backer goals for has been canned by the excuse of "They ran out of money" Which is 200% bullshit.

that's a leap, user

he tried, but it's complicated
also while the paperwork was getting sent through the studio spent even more of the money so they wouldn't have to give it back

Hussie has fucked up in a lot of ways but he can't screw up as hard as Tim did.

>we're writing a funny text game
>its centred on/it parodies internet interactions
>lets find someone who is known for writing funny text on the internet

im legit not sure whats the issue here

Activision, I believe.

Some worldbuilding on shit like Limeboods, good consistent characters that I actually give a shit about and don't spend all their time crying about bullshit they should have resolved years ago.

One of the main things promised with hiveswap was supposed to be worldbuilding for the troll society

I'd rather deal with someone who actually understands what's funny on the internet in 2016, rather than having Andrew "What is up with these kids these days and their Underwear games" Hussie trying to be hip with the fresh young kids.

we've been wrong all these years

That's good. I always wanted to know what trolls do aside from killing each other and watching thresh prince of bel-air

Such as.

I want it to have smut inspiring scenarios. So people will make smut.

i literally just want it to be funny. story doesnt have to be incredible, undertales story wasnt actually that incredible but it was carried hard by funny dialogue that got you invested. GOOD JOKES, PLEASE GOD.

and good music, that might actually be even more important

too bad smut production has decreased tenfold thanks to hiatus, and whatever we get on the epilogue likely won't get much art.

Why must the hiatus watch us suffer?

I think it was poor management and over-ambition. They were talking about a fucking anime and 12 movies before the game was even finished in the design department.

Keiji Inafune just made the game because Capcom kept fucking over Mega Man and he wanted to make another one so he proposed a clone of it. In the end, he couldn't even make a decent Mega Man rip-off and Capcom cleaned up their act. So right now it's pretty fucked no matter what they do. Kinda sad too.

Beck was supposed to have Kirby style ability stealing for all or most enemies, now his not-buster just transforms into the boss' gun.

Shit man I don't have the full list. You can have this old image though of some of it.

Epilogue when?

strawpoll.me/10088390

The money they stole was worth less than the amount of time Hussie wasted trying to get them to actually show him something, to the point where he moved across the country so he could work with them personally.

Eventually he just cut his losses, got a lot of the money back and started from scratch by forming his own studio. The time it would have taken to get involved in a lawsuit would have just pushed the game (and comic, this was a big part of the gigapause) back even further.

I honestly think he made the best of a bad situation, at least as far as the game is concerned. But I suppose we won't know until we actually see the game.

Remember when Mom/Bro was a thing?

>started from Scratch

holy shit

Why didn't he have a contract with them?

...

eat the fucking what? i can't make that word out

I am in awe of how shameless and terrible Neokosmos is. All I'd ever been informed of was the art style being ripped off of SU; nobody ever told me it was a pathetic MSPA fan adventure that wasn't even written with the dignity to take user commands. It's literally just SU and Homestuck mashed together in a mangled mess of offal with none of the charm either series has, cobbled together by a pair of gibbering mooks aping the creators they used to do work for. They're proud to put their names on this derivative mess? Hussie promoted this shit? This is like something he miscarried that was stolen from the hospital and dressed in Steven Universe's clothes.

NOSES. DON'T. LOOK LIKE THAT.

flowers

How's the writing/plot? I don't really want to subject myself to reading it myself it it's god awful.

you don't understand
he's a friend of a friend
it doesn't matter that he's never taken a large writing project before

nepotism

that definitely doesnt say the word flowers friend

He forgot the l

>Neokosmos
Literally who?

Granted from the name and your post alone it sounds like someone I'd hate.

Shelby

The plot opens with unironic gender discussion. I'll let you know if it gets better, I'm about halfway through the archive (speed-reading is very easy because simple actions take far too many panels and the pesterlogs aren't common).

He's talking about Shelby's comic. Pic related.

its really really short you wont lose much time

>snowflake skin patches
When will this meme end

We have no idea if he did or didn't, and we have no idea what that contract said.

The Odd Gentlemen DID send him a crappy pseudo-prototype, and if I remember right they were only involved for like 5 months or something before Hussie dropped them.

At the end of the day, Hussie probably COULD have fought for more money, but he didn't want to waste more time.

When they move on to some other rare condition.

I'm personally banking on harlequin fetus syndrome being the next big thing. There's at least one healthy survivor who grew up.

also the character in the middle has no gender and the one on the left makes a big deal out of being a girl but is actually a boy

>harlequin fetus syndrome
The fuck is that

i hope the next meme condition is becker's nevus which is what i have

honestly i wouldnt mind writing a wecomic with a mspa format and su style

Google image search it :^)

google it

>I'd rather deal with someone who actually understands what's funny on the internet in 2016
What IS funny on the internet in 2016? Because it sure as fuck aint dank memes and shitposting

>wanting your condition to be plastered over ballooned, vaguely brown characters
Why?

It's kind of hilarious. Neokosmos is at like 945 pages. In the same amount of pages, Homestuck got to here: mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=002845

That's part way through Act 3. Think about everything that happens up to that point. Then think about everything that has actually happened in Neokosmos so far.

The difference is mind boggling.

can the next meme condition be epilepsy i want all the characters in all the shows i watch to have impromptu floor dance sessions together and for everyone to be totally accepting and chill about it so i can feel better about my condition

>I'd rather deal with someone who actually understands what's funny on the internet in 2016

So, nothing?

I literally am driven to suicide every day I log on because society, as well as media in general, is in decay.

If I had to guess, the contract likely had a ledger/rider/subpoint/whatever that allowed for TOG to back out of development if the project proved too financially risky to continue or some other project came along. Something that would allow them to get out of working on Hivebent.

FUCK

do you have funny and interesting stories to tell though

How did it even start? Before all the recent tumblr stuff the only character off the top of my head who I can remember having the condition was some Arthurian knight. Not that I'm against characters having physical conditions, but where did the popularity explosion come from?

I'm betting on it being some rare form of psoriasis.

>Anonymous 05/17/16(Tue)20:10:56 No.8287

I'd give it at least until it's first "act" or whatever the hell it's gonna have, (if it doesn't have an act structure lets say it'll have until November or at least the end of the year) It's not impressive at all. The art is SU, but with little bits of a MSP adventure, and it feels like the reason they choose a 2nd POV was to make it easier to write for. It honestly feels too much like Tumblr bait for me, I usually check on it every now and then. It's nothing really special at this point. The CAL arts style will fall one day. One day...

No more gods
No more graves
Are you friend or fiend?
No more life
No more death
Somewhere in between

>the only HSG poster who hangs out with Hussie is the one who wrote about his characters watching and jacking off to child porn

Where were you when society fucking crumbled?

TOG didn't back out of development though, they kept up the charade right until the end so that they could keep using Hussie's money. It's a pretty cut and dry issue.

potentially
but nothing solid right now that i would invest all my time and energy in
just some ideas ive used for portfolio work

>he actually did it
Hahaha

How is it possible that an entire website of thousands of creative types can't create a single interesting and engaging story between them

It's shit like this that makes exorcism seem like a rational practice

>never is winning
good to see people are still reasonable and realistic

it feels unfair to compare things made by normal people to homestuck in terms of speed of development though.

also a lot of homestuck pages are PACKED with stuff. neo kosmos is just a character moving across a static background a lot of the time, which isnt necessarily a bad thing since you flick through those pages quickly like a flip book. not that neo kosmos is good. but i dont have an issue with the storyboard style

Artists are surprisingly uncreative. Everything they make seems to be copies of existing things mashed together and stylized to give a consistent look. I'd say mathematics is a much more creative endeavour since it involves the invention of concepts that have never been expressed by humans in the past.

Making an engaging story is hard, indulging your personal fantasies and pandering to friends and the like minded is easy. Everyone's guilty of it, it just happens to be easier to identify when it's the out group doing it.

That would be great in-theory but absolutely undoable without being completely terrible, given the shit the fanbases of both.

what kind of imp is this

homestuck justifies its existence via pic related

what else do you need

you say that like the fan base has to affect the comic

is that


is that caliborn

a good ending?

jade

I'm still not sure why we should believe ipgd about TOG.

An author choosing to make something in that style implies they were part of that fanbase. If they belonged to both fanbases, that is even worse. No good can come out of a person like that.

A harlequin prototyped imp, clearly.

What'd she say?

that is pretty but good stories are not pretty. where are the good stories. give me the good stories

Well can you blame me given what comic this thread is about?

>an entire website of thousands of creative types
>Sup Forums

a good idea is worthless, a good execution is priceless


Now put your neck on the block, this one's on the house

>like mspa
>steven universe
y-you dont know what you're talking about

the ending had all it needed to be a good one.

that being said
>black lips
fuck you hussie

>t. some starving artist
