>Hi guys! Shelby here. With good news and bad(?), maybe! The good news is, I have a job now! I am working for What Pumpkin studios on the Homestuck video game, Hiveswap. It is an awesome job with awesome people and I am so grateful and psyched about it!!
>The bad news, which is also good news for me, is that I no longer am relying on Patreon as my main source of income. As such, I really no longer have time to contribute as much to Patreon along with working on NEOKOSMOS. Now that NK is a side project to my main work, things are going to be slowing down a bit, but that doesn't mean we are stopping! It just means we feel a little bad taking monthly pledges from people when the content is just not consistent enough to warrant it.
From her patron.
Looks like $helby will be busy for a while. T-thanks $helby, just go abandon your webcomic to work on that Homestuck game job thing. Okay, thanks I guess.
Chase Bailey
>I'm gonna work for teh homosuck xDDD why would anyone do this?
Jason Young
She needs a job. Homestuck-Man is fucking loaded on cash. Even with the Kickstarter game scandal he has atleast 1.8 Million dollars to blow. If anything she made the right choice by saving her only saving grace of her career.
Christopher Green
Someone jizeed on her face?
Jaxson Barnes
He superglued his eyes shut.
Ian Perez
Did she change her Pattern to pay-by-page, or is she just going to conveniently rake in the same amount of cash?
Chase Allen
At least she's not pulling an Aaron Diaz and just pocketing cash while not working.
Jonathan Moore
>artist needs money >takes a job to get money >complain that said artist doesn't have as much time to work on their passion project I bet you aren't even a patron What is a paycheck?
Sebastian Hall
It makes sense since she already did work on homestuck shit before.
Colton Bailey
Hiveswap is still a thing?
What's the latest update on it?
Kevin Rodriguez
What's with all the drama around this Shelby person? Anything interesting?
Charles Reed
And nothing of value was lost
Aaron Miller
Ryan North and Hussie went to each other's houses to have a meeting and plan out the writing and planning stages a couple months ago, last time I heard.
Oh and they hired a Twitter guy as the Head-Writer.
Liam Green
Joey deserved Better
Daniel Martinez
Hussie is paying out of pocket right now.

Do you guys unironically like this comic? I think it's mediocre at best, but would like to hear your thoughts on it....
Landon Adams
Idk i just wrote "home" on the catalog and this thread seemed to be about homestuck, or at least themed about it

A hack that overcharges for commissions, nothing exciting

Didn't that company that did the Kickstarter steal all of Hussie's money and use it to make another game?

only half of it

Sebastian Allen
Did she mix up the good news and bad news?
Luis Rivera
Who the fuck gives Diaz so much money? I just don't even understand. They get nothing in return, his attitude is shitty, his webcomic is obscure, and yet he is surprisingly successful
Kevin Murphy
they didn't do the kickstarter, they were given 700k from it and had to give 350k back in a settlement not that it matters because the rest of the kickstarter got blown on hussie's Manhattan dev office that shut down after a year
Ian Murphy
Don't you love how white collar criminals are only made to pay back part of what they stole?

It has some nice animations and an interesting premise. >Kids raised on a spaceship as lab experiments have to fend for themselves, mysteries begin to pile Where she'll take it we'll have to see.

He seems to put all his effort, which isn't that much, into marketing himself.

Hussie's the victim, not the criminal, you troll.

TFW promised weekly updates for Hiveswap
TFW last update was in July 2015
Charles Evans
Hussie's a Jew?
Damn, is everyone Jewish?
Andrew Sullivan
uh no, last update was at christmas which is still fucking terrible but don't misrepresent their incompetence
Carter Nelson
at least he's cut back on his tweeting after he called will eisner mediocre
Eli Russell
We should have expected this when Hussie's kickstarter description was "Lol i dunno"
Gabriel Mitchell
it is really cool not to take people's money without producing content to justify it, so at least there's that
Angel Bell
>Starbound came out before Hiveswap (and even its best armor in the game is a direct homestuck reference) >Star Citizen is going to come out before fucking hiveswap >Hiveswap has literally been a bigger shitshow than anything

Perfectly generic armor. You make it from perfectly generic objects.

Easton Wood
It is an artist whose style resembles Lauren Zuke (of Rachel and Penny, and Steven Universe), and created a webcomic in the 'click for every page' style of Homestuck.
No surprise, they got hired by homestuck to work on homestuck stuff.
Jaxon Moore
>A game is much more of a team effort. It’s also very challenging, for different reasons. It’s less about doing every little thing yourself, more about generally conducting the efforts of a team of creative people. As the team grows, it’s more about conducting the conductors. It’s pretty complicated, as a lot goes into making a game. Thousands of art assets and such. One major difference is, with my comic, there weren’t many limitations. Any idea I had, I could write and draw and it could be on the website the next day. With a game, with how complicated and expensive production can get, the sky isn’t really the limit. You have a budget to consider. If you throw every crazy idea you have into a game, you’ll burn through all your money very fast. >Andrew "Zahhack" Hussie
> If you throw every crazy idea you have into a game, you’ll burn through all your money very fast. What did he mean by this?

Yes?

Dylan Watson
A rapid loss of monetary resources can be a result of—but not exclusively a result of—implementing every outlandish thought or suggestion for a potential feature into a video game, the game in question being Hiveswap in this case.
Jordan Fisher

no it ain't

why would jade say that to pm? isnt that animal abuse?
