![]() ![]() We’re so happy to be back talking about Act 2 and can’t wait to share more info soon. Thanks again for your patience and support. For our next update we’d like to invite you to submit questions about Act 2 via this google form and we will aim to answer as many of them as possible in the update. We will have more to share on Act 2 soon and we want to share it with you first. We can’t show you any gameplay yet but we would like to share a few snippets… At a glance HIVESWAP: Act 2 has pretty much the same. Hiveswap has something for you, whether you're a dedicated fan or just now discovering the fandom phenomenon. Gameplay elements sometimes are obtuse, underutilized, or outright frustrating. HIVESWAP: ACT 2 is the highly anticipated second entry in the four-part series of narrative adventure games from the universe of Andrew Hussie's Homestuck. It’s underwhelming, but when you’re playing in a genre that’s been played for three decades it is really hard to make something new. This approach is working much better for us but one downside of this approach is that there isn’t much gameplay footage to show for most of the development. It’s a point-and-click adventure game, no need to reinvent the wheel. Once we have all the Act 2 content and programming together, we will move into a play-testing and iteration phase before release. ![]() Then our programming team will put it all together while the writing, design and art teams move on to Act 3. For Act 2 we have built a staggered development process where the script and design come first, followed by the art. Let’s just say we learned a lot of lessons during development of Act 1. You might gather from the above description that Hiveswap development is a little unusual. While we don’t want to start throwing out release dates until we’re a little further along, we’re happy to say that the script, art and design work is nearly complete, and programming is underway. We know you’re eager to find out something, anything, so let’s cut to the chase - yes, Act 2 is in active development. But right now the good news is we’re in a stage of development where we can start sharing some things and are committed to talking with you more frequently. Hiveswap: Act 2, entitled Dead Freight, is the second Act of the Homestuck adventure game, Hiveswap, released on the 25th of November, 2020. There are a lot of reasons for our silence, and honestly it’s a whole tangle of stuff that maybe one day we’ll get into. While the privacy is set for Project Backers Only, I have procured a copy of the statement, in full. Hussie just released a press statement on the official Homestuck Kickstarter. ![]()
