I'm very excited for it. I think it's great so far.

However, I'd hate to see too many jokes that rely on Homestuck.

Having never read it, I don't feel like going through 5+ hours of internet just to get some jokes here.

I'd like to be able to tell who everyone is in the tag list, but that's the only complaint so far. I'm assuming that will be sorted out in time, though.

But that would ruin the secrets.

Touche, my good man. That was not something I had considered.

More like 500+.

I think the hardest part for someone who doesn't read homestuck will be understanding the mechanics of the game; the inventory system, the game itself. I'll try to make sure and explain it as well as I can, but as for the jokes I'm trying to be conscious of the fact that just parroting Homestuck memes is not quality humor. I think there's far more worth in creating our own language, with our own little in-jokes and gags, and hope that I can be successful in this.

Right now, BZPStuck looks like a high-quality Homestuck copy. As the story goes on, I'd like it to become much more differentiated so it can stand on its own as a good story, not just a parody.

 

Also, the numerous really long chat logs in Homestuck at first were interesting, but then they got boring. Perchance you could go easy on the chat logs?

i want a cameo

But without them you don't know the characters' personalities and they convey so much vital and important plot information.

I don't think I could write that long of a chatlog if I tried.

 

Also we won't have any "quirks" to deal with here, so no problems.

 

As for the differentiation, I definitely understand that concern. At first I wanted a game that was -completely- different from Homestuck. Same game format, but with no other real connections. However, everyone involved had become so because they were such big fans of Homestuck and also were interested in seeing themselves in that framework. Thus, there was a compromise so that we would still retain those attributes you see in Hussie's comic - the Sylladex, the Specibus, Chatlogs, and the basic idea of the game itself, but as you'll see these are superficial. I absolutely promise you, you do not know how this will go or how this will end. There will be many things that seem familiar, yes, but as we go further on it should grow more and more into it's own distinct work.

 

That said, there is obviously no seperating this work from it's predecessor and I am very aware of that. It's a loving homage.
