So if you are a homestuck fan (such as myself) you are well aware it is 4/13 and the day some dork named John ate cake and played a game that brought on the apocolypse. You know, Homestuck, made by the same guy who did Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff. Yeah
But because of the comic's popularity, what pumpkin decided to develop a game and asked for donations via kickstarter in 2012. Since then I along with the rest of the homestuck and MSPA fandom have been waiting for game development and updates. And on this day in MSPA infamy, we got our usual update, and got to watch perhaps the biggest game update since. HOUSTON WE HAVE A TRAILER. WE. HAVE. A. TRAILER.
All bias and hype aside, this trailer looks extremely impressive for a newly formed game company and something funded off kickstarter. The graphics and artwork are stunning as to be expected from What Pumpkin, but we also got a more in depth look at the character (who I remember being called Flashlight Girl or Joey Claire). OH AND THE MUSIC. The music was a seriously huge part of what got me into homestuck, and even the little jingle for What Pumpkin had me squeeing. It sounds incredible and perfect for the What Pumpkin Image.
My only two complaints so far are the fact we didn't get to see new set of trolls, who are also a major part of the game (if you read up on it, this game is going to be like 4 games in 1. *insert fangasm here*). I have also seen some people complain about the frame rate and some technical issues (and some people don't appreciate the actual look). But to them I say: this is basically an indie with a startup company! And keep in mind, this is a teaser trailer, so the game's details and kinks can easily be worked out and spruced up.
So why did I write an essay and post this here in the first place? Mostly cause I'm curious on how non MSPA fans think of it. And of course find my fellow homestucks to fangirl with because we've watched this thing grow from simple concept art and 3d art to THIS.
THIS.
