you haven't seen the update

john's original, non-dreamself body has a ghost who seems fully conscious. it's confirmed that losing one body does mean it gets a ghost, so presumably it's not just one consciousness, but rather two separate consciousness that players somehow switch between. sollux would have three.

Woah, the what update? It's entirely possible this was covered some time in the past and I forgot, but I'm pretty sure I'm completely caught up with the newest pages.

the one that just happened like three days ago. the last one for a while.

the one that directly showed john's original body getting up off the god-tier bed and realizing he's a ghost.

Welp, looks like we've got another year-long pause on our hands (8 months if he finishes it on 4/13)

99% done in terms of page count if it was literal would mean there are 80 pages left, going by http://readmspa.org/stats/

But I can only speculate how many minutes if not potentially hours of animation those pages might include. Its crazy but I'm still excited. I'm trying to convince the one person I know IRL to get caught back up before it ends because I want to gush about it. D:

Holy shit, Wes?? I haven't seen you anywhere in ages, I think the last place I can remember is Drill's Minecraft server! How ya been, man? (in case this username doesn't ring any bells, curiousTerminal might)

And, wow, 80 pages? That's...not a lot. I hope he was exaggerating or that doesn't include the possible epilogue because that doesn't seem like enough to wrap anything up.

Well, it's heavily likely, due to this pause, that we're gonna see a LOT of animations. Or even a couple of walkarounds. These next big fights are definitely going to be animated, then there might be a few standard pages before the very end.

80 pages is very easily a lot of content from Hussie. Especially considering there's not many questions left to be asked other than how it's gonna end.

Not only that; he said Homestuck was 99% done, not 99% posted, he just chose this flash animation as a decent update to leave us hanging on and already has at least some content done. Plus, there's the eventuality that "99% done" was just a random figure he came up with on the spot.

I've been around, vaguely. I mostly follow maybe a dozen media threads on the forums and spend the rest of my internet time on derpibooru, which is still totally whoever it was that hosted the one version of the forum server's fault for getting me interested. Now that I'm currently burnt out on WoW again, at least, so I have some small amount of free time in between college classes.

Even presuming that it's only an approximation and that doesn't include the stuff that's written but not posted we're still only talking a couple hundred pages tops, really.

Okay, I have to know.

Am I the only one, when reading Karkat's lines, in my head...

I give him the voice of Dan from Dan VS?
Can't only be me, right? They're both really angry all the time.

goddamn hussie what the fuck is going on

i mean other than getting fucked over by the guys making the game so you had to take it all on with your own team and thus had to focus much more time and energy on getting the game completed as it was already announced and people have already paid for it, meaning the devlopment time is under extreme scrutiny as compared to other in-process games which go through similar issues but with significantly less attention needing to be drawn to them

It's almost as though cheddar doesn't make first-time game creation easy!
