Well, if that much money was raised, surely the game would come out soon, right? At any rate, Hussie said he hoped for it to be released in 2014. And fans were thrilled! It was one of the most successful Kickstarters of all time, raising well over its initial goal for a total of about 2.5 million dollars. Over time, the creative team behind Homestuck and its related media have repeatedly turned to making the content more and more risque, uncomfortable, and adult, culminating in the official Homestuck Twitter issuing a retroactive statement in November that Homestuck in its entirety is and always was for adults only… which is frankly not a statement I agree with, and seems to be a case of covering their asses for all of the other related content that’s come out since.Īt any rate, at the height of Homestuck‘s popularity in 2012, Hussie opened a Kickstarter to create a “Homestuck Adventure Game”, creating a point-and-click adventure based in the world of Homestuck. Additionally, since its ended, additional official media set in the Homestuck universe(s) (canon or otherwise) were released, which quickly divided the fandom and turned off many fans (including me, for a time). While some grievances are worse than others, it’s overall very hard to defend as a good piece of media.

It’s overall a touching heartwarming story… that is also full of ableism, racism, and Poor Takes by its creator.įinding a post pointing out all of the bad things in Homestuck would not be very hard and is left as an exercise for the reader. The comic was an unexpected smash hit compared to Hussie’s previous works, and managed to crash two websites during one of its biggest updates in 2011. It’s a story about growing up, interpersonal relationships, universe creation, confusing romance systems, and aliens. Starting on April 13th, 2009 and ending on April 13th, 2016 (with an additional credits video coming out on October 25th that year), the comic spans over 8000 pages and is a huge timesink when you add up all the animations, text to read, and walkarounds to explore.
