The unintentional comedy of a SBURB speedrun without a time player. They literally have no Time, they gotta do it ASAP.

7:47 the reason time and space players are needed is because time players planets have the scratch, in case anything goes wrong, I suppose not applicable here where they’re destined to win. Space players are needed because their planet contains the forge, necessary for breeding the genesis frog.

About time players. They have a lil something in their planet called "scratch construct" which basically can hard reset the universe in case things go south which happened in homestuck

I really loved seeing how you made the comic and what would have been. It's not often we see authors post background information on the planning phase.

Actually Homestuck is Good.

very interesting watch!

I had so much more fun reading your comic than I had reading homestuck^2. It made me feel such joy that I felt reading since the epilogue. Genuinely well made and interesting, looks fantastic, all the gifs and sound pages were a treat. I would have loved to see a finished version just to see more of the characters I grew to adore, but this was good enough at least.

I agree with a lot of your ideas relating to this comic, but I have to disagree with the opinion that act 1 is boring (and therefore should be skipped). It's not that it's my favorite part, but I still like the process of getting to know the characters. The context of how these people act before the game changes them is important; for a *spoilery* example, watching Delire make their way up the RNG tower was a huge moment of character development, but seeing them in the intro behaving normally can do a lot to set up that impact and deepen its effect. The real reason I have to disagree with it, though-- the assumption of disinterest. I think I am safe in assuming that there are many mspfa readers who enjoyed homestuck, and are here specifically because they have interest in how someone else might take the prompt and rewrite or reinterpret it, with new characters and new ideas, just with a familiar prompt. I'm not saying it's wrong to dislike certain parts, and to choose to spend more time on the parts you liked; ultimately, you still worked it into a unique prompt as a sort of wordless quip on the slow pacing of act 1. But it's not like it was unenjoyable or unnecessary. I understand the structural reasons to try and get the project running before it can fall flat, but I feel like it's a bad mindset to assume the reader wouldn't enjoy what you might write there, even if it's mostly a re-tread. I don't know if that makes sense. Or if even made a correct interpretation on what you were saying. But it just sort of struck a sour note in me to hear someone dislike their writing before they even got a chance to write it.

A certain Nerd recommended SBURB TAS to me as a good (though incomplete) MSPFA, and I was pleasantly surprised to find this video at the end! I'm glad to hear you had a good time making SBURB TAS, and I'm glad you were able to see it finalized in a way with this video. Reading through the comic was fun, and learning about your process of creation here was fascinating. As someone who got into homestuck recently, I'm continually amazed by how much creativity it's inspired. Good video, good fancomic, good times.

I was listening to Tally Hall in the background while watching this so when Spring and a Storm started playing I was seriously wondering why my playlist was suddenly out of order. Anyway, the spriting process and analysis of why fan adventures fail was really interesting and I'm probably gonna check out the comic now.

holy crap, i feel like i'm almost woefully undeserving to watch this video. all the amazing advice and information you've given in here is AMAZING, this feels like it should be the documentary feature hidden behind purchasing the whole comic on DVD or something!! EXCELLENT video, I'm gonna go out and read your comic now!! you explain your decisions so transparently and honestly that it's extremely refreshing, really showing just how doable yet difficult it is to make something like Homestuck. i loved your breakdown of the Rose panel in the middle section, going to save that for my own use one day haha you are an excellent person and you deserve the world; putting your own comic out for the wide world to read entirely for free is already doing an incredible service, but being so helpful alongside is just... seriously. SO far above the pay grade. thank you so much

this is some really interesting insight on the process of making a fanventure! awesome seeing the thought process behind everything in the comic. good video

Hey this and your semisprite video is amazing. I can't wait to see what you do next. Homesick or otherwise!!

incredible video boogs cant wait to watch it

NEEEERRRRRDDD AAALLEEERRRRRTTTT (awesome video)

30:32 Tally Hall jumpscare

DID I NOT LEAVE A COMMENT HERE??? okay oops. LOVE THIS VIDEO BOOGS

23:30 is so real holy shiiiiiii

Woah...First? Really? That's never happened before. Well, it has, but rarely. Anyways, thanks for creating a video essay about doing a homestuck, we need more like that in the world

late to the party but amazing video! too long tho not gonna read :)

NOOO CRIMP :CCCC

ho homestuck isn isnt good......? (YOU HAVE JUST CRUSHED THE DREAMS OF A THIRTEEN YEAR OLD BOY)

i hear everywhere: "what is homestuck" homestuck is not a "what," its a feeling an experience, you arent going to understand it if someone explains it

Why is there an avatar ad in hebrew in 11:21 😭

this vids old i know but whats the program being used as your explaining how the rose panel is put together

imagine being so woke you hate homestuck for being "ableist" Homestuck is bad cause it's woke, but i guess not woke enough for you
