Since I couldn't find how to reply to my last thread, I must insist, although it is a comic, it does become a game on a lot of parts.
Thus, why it's called an interactive comic.
Basic infos - As described on the MSPA website, Homestuck is "a tale about a boyand his friends and a game they play together." Homestuck is the fourth MS Paint Adventure, and by far the largest one yet, with over 5,100 pages (out of 7,000 MSPA pages) as of June 19, 2012. It started on the 13th of April 2009 (413 becoming a recurring number in-universe).Homestuck's basic premise was inspired by games like The Sims, Spore, and EarthBound. Unlike previous Adventures, Homestuck is no longer primarily driven by reader submitted commands, Andrew having taken full control of the story during Act 4 . However, he admits to still drawing inspiration from the speculation and fanart of his fanbase.
The Homestuck Beta, that was started on April 10, three days prior to the now official release, was Andrew's original attempt to start the comic, which he planned to make entirely in Flash, and drop the MS Paint-style art. However, when the Homestuck Stable Release came, it was revealed that it would continue its art style and use of animated GIFs instead. It was revealed a few days later in Andrew's blog that this was not planned, but rather, it was because doing a whole series on flash was too difficult and time consuming for him. Although most of the adventure is still created with animated gifs, there are still occasional flash updates which take the form of movies or even interactive minigames, and include music.
The game of Homestuck is shown to have two discs
.
On his 13th birthday, John Egbert receives the latest computer game, an immersive simulation game calledSburb Beta. Working with his friend Rose Lalonde, they discover that the game allows the players to manipulate their reality. [That is all I will tell you for now.]
