#hsdatingsim

Okay, after taking a tally of who on the crew I still had and what positions I needed to fill, I have come to the conclusion that I need Artists (two or three, preferably so the work isn’t all put on one person) and a programmer. 

So here’s what I need you to do if you’re interested on working on this project!

For the Artists: 

Send an email to [email protected] including: 

In the Subject line write “Artist - (Your Name)” 

Your preferred name

Your pronouns

Your tumblr URL or Instagram

What part of the art you’d like to work on

Sprites

CG’s

Backgrounds

A few sampling’s of your work for me to look at for which of the three parts of the game you’d like to work on. 

For the Programmers

Send an email to [email protected] including:

In the Subject line write “Programmer - (Your Name)”

Your preferred name

Your pronouns

Your tumblr URL or Instagram

What your preferred language is

Tell me if you know how to: 

Make a CG library

Write a kill code to have the game crash after a specific requirement is met. 

And finally, if you are able to work closely with me, the writer, and keep me reigned in on what I will and won’t be able to do with this game.

Thank you so much and I hope that I will be hearing from people soon!

Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuckity fuck fuck FUCK!!

Just when I think I’m over and done and out of this god forsaken fandom cult bullshit, whatever Homestuck fucking is now, Hussie just has to yank on my fucking chain and pull me right back fucking in it again!

The literal SECOND I think about abandoning this project for good because I’m “just not into it anymore” I read them damn epilogues and I’m all just “god DAMN IT! I’ve been pulled back into this fucking dumpster fire again!”

And guess what!!

Thats exactly what fucking happened!!

Because of Hussie! And the fact that my moirail ACTUALLY FUCKING AGREED TO READ THIS HEAPING PILE OF FLAMING SHIT.

This was originally gonna be a post saying “hey, sorry. Can’t do this project anymore,” but now it’s a post about “hey; guess who’s back and we’re gonna be changing a few fuckin things.”

The project is still gonna happen, as I previously stated. But I’m gonna change a few things. Namely that being the datable characters and when/where this will be taking place.

It will probably all take place on Earth C after the events of Sburb/SGrub and Before/Alternate Timeline of the Epligues where, naturally, none of the shit in the Epilogues happened.

Think of it as... another epilogue, I guess where you exist.

The characters who will be datable are gonna be the Alpha and Beta Kids, Kanaya, Karkat, Terezi, (Vriska). Maybe Callie. Maybe Meenah. I haven’t decided on them yet. Maybe even Aradia and Sollux.

A nice, round, 12-16 number of characters instead of twenty freaking four. That was too much and put way to much pressure on me.

I might try to make it as meta as the epilogues, I might not. Hell this project could go into an entirely different level of dumpster fire then the original comic, but there’s only one friggin way to find that out!

And that’s by actually doing it.

Also I’m not gonna rush myself. I’m not gonna put and deadlines on when I’m gonna finish the script or have character sprites done by. I’m not gonna be looking for voice actors for a while until the script is finished and we’re ready to start programming.

I’m not even sure if this project will even have a demo or live up to your expectations. It might not. But I will definitely try.

I do know one thing for absolute certain though...

Its gonna be on fucking fire. Like the dumpster we all call home...stuck...

Anyway, that’s all I gotta say on the matter, really.

-Ash.

PS. Sorry for channeling Karkat there for a second. Everything just kinda... well, you know how it is I guess.

I really, really, really, really hate to do this

But I’m pushing the release date of the demo back. I was really hoping to get it out by Christmas, but the way things are looking now, It won’t be out until new years. 

I hate to do this, but I have to. The college students/High schoolers working on this project are pressed for time between school work and finals and all that with the upcoming holiday coming up, some of the other members are going through some personal stuff that they need time to work through. And on top of that, we need a proper beta test of the game, so with how behind we are on production, we won’t get the game out before Christmas,

But on the bright side, we can get this game out by January 1st and hopefully start 2017 on a high note instead of the shit fest that 2016 has been. 

So here’s to hoping, everyone. I hope you all understand. 

Hey guys!

The long awaited time has come. We are looking for Beta Testers for the game!!!

We only have twenty slots open so it’ll be on a first come first serve basis for who gets on the beta tester list. 

If you’re interested in being a Beta Tester, then please, send an email to [email protected] saying you’re interested. If you’re one of the first 20 people to send an email to us, you’ll get a reply back within a couple of hours with a question or two and some instructions on whats going to happen. 

Thank you for your interest in this game!

My turn!

Hey guys. I am your friendly neighborhood Rogue of Space here at the Homestuck Dating Sim~ Just like Ash I will also be turning 22 in December, three days after Ash too! And I am the creator of the art for you, the player.

While I am not crying due to anxiety in school I am drawing all sorts of things which include fanart in Over the Garden Wall, Gravity Falls, Homestuck (obviously lol) and other beautiful stuff. I am also a big fan of playing video games, including my intense passion for the Kingdom Hearts Series.

On my blog I am planning on doing weekly art livestreams! Yup! I am committing to this. Every Wednesday at 9pm EST! For more information you can see my post HERE or even follow me on my blog kingdomgal. I am also in the midst of writing two comics! One that will be uploaded straight to Tapastic and it’s personal blog and one that I am not sure what I am doing for it cuz it’s my Senior Show next semester ha ha.

Other than that I am looking into possibly getting into animation but to do that I gotta get a program so wish me luck with that.

I think that’s it.

Oh and I love me a good meme!

Ok guys. I mentioned last week that we are going to be having more shameless self promotion in a few weeks. Well, here comes the first one. Yourstruly. 

Anyway, my name is Ash Rose Evans. Gender is currently ambiguous. I’m the one who has been writing the game to the best of their ability, both script wise and programming wise. I’m also the wonderful, amazing, hot mess that leads this project. And get this guys, 

I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I’M DOING!

Well, I mean, I do, but like, at the same time, I don’t. Anyway. Enough with the comedy. I’m a Knight of Heart and I’m going to be 22 years on on December 1st so that’s something I’m looking forward to, I guess. 

You can find me on other websites as well such as Archive of Our Own, Tapastic, and for a short time Deviant Art. I’m leaving Deviant Art soon as I am not particularly fond of the platform anymore for my writing, but I haven’t left yet. Aside from writing for the game, I also write stories; fan fictions and original works; in my free time. I’m also a college student and I work part time so my plate is really full. 

I’d also like to add that I’m setting up a mailing list as well. This is where I will be posting updates for my writing, when I post new story chapters or draw new things. I will be sending out WIPs of my art work and excerpts of my writing in there as well. That also mean that there will be updates in that email about the dating simulator as well and possible sneak peaks at scripts and things of that nature so if you would like to sign up, you can do so here. But also keep in mind that I will also be sending out emails and WIPs of my own artwork and stories as well. 

Wow that was long winded. My round of Shameless Self Promotion™ is complete. I hope to see some of you again on the mailing list and in the next post!
