Homestuck Re-read Part 15: T3R3Z1 PYROP3
Today's upd8 is a bit late, I think? This is fine however because I desperately need a break from working on the fan game for a little bit. I've reworked a fair bit of it over the last 2 days and I'm approaching the point in the project where it's starting to feel like any errors I've made are beginning to compound. This is frankly weird because it's still just, essentially a single 2d sprite walking around in a static environment with a frankly massively overengineered pile of code backing it up.
Aaaaaaaaaaaa
Okay, yeah. Homestuck.
Homestuck
Wayward Vagabond is introducing Peregrine Mendicant to John.
Oh! Serenity is back and talking! I get to use my morse code thing!
She seems pleased that John is beating up some imps.
We get to see PM talking to John in the Act 4 walkabout flash from last time. I like how it's just screenshots from the actual flash, extraneous UI and all.
There is so many beautiful panels in Homestuck. I think I'd like to cyanotype this one as well.
Seer
This is clearly a different exile. They speak in eloquent script with extravagant flourish.
Dead Bird
Dream Jade tries to help the poor unfortunate bird Dave skewered like a kebab. Slowly we are building towards him, every prototype we come a step closer to the hour of his arrival.
AUTHORITY REGULATOR
We see another exile back in the medium in the present. Authority Regulator is ticketing John's father over his parking. Parcel Mistress is here too.
A bullet is fired from the thick brush near John. Someone carrying a rifle and the Colonel's text walks away. Parcel Mistress instructs John to carve a tablet and resolve a loop.
Rose's mother sets sail for lands unknown.
The future is so full of promise.
Dave's sprite is nesting. It's gathered all his random shit, including his entry item. Also he's downloading grist. The MPAA are gonna fucking kill him.
Consult with the heir
Rose talks with John at the pier.
T3R3Z1 PYROP3 aka G4LLOWSC4L1BR4TOR M4K3S 4N 4PP3R4NC3. It would probably be smart of me to make some kinda troll quirk thingy widget for this at some point, for accessability reasons if anything. We get to learn a bit about the 'mythology' of Homestuck and see some more examples of classpects (class+aspect). As well as an explanation of the purpose of the exiles; to directly guide and inadvertently close loops in time.
Terezi will be back at some point, to continue explaining.
Way in the past, Karkat tries to get Jade's attention in the future, but not too far.
Another panel I want to cyanotype.
END OF UPD8
It doesn't make her like vodka though
This was a good upd8! I liked it a lot. We got to see Terezi for the first time, as well as see a few key events.
