I dunno, but I get why successful artists don't do it. I wrapped up Legend of the Hare and started Saffron and Sage, and do this day I'm not sure if that was a good idea or not. Change is scary, especially is a comic is your job! And there haven't been a lot of examples of a cartoonist who did a hit webcomic and then tried a new comic and had a second hit.

I have a lot of respect for a Big Established Artist who takes a creative risk, like Scott Kurtz of PvP Fame making a side comic about dealing with a dying parent. But it didn't exactly take off.

I have often complained about Andrew Hussie dragging Homestuck way past its breaking point instead of ending it a few months after Cascade. But, like, in retrospect was that really a bad idea for him? When he finally moved on and made Psycolonials, even though it was good, no one seemed to give a shit. The clown made the most successful webcomic of all time, and it did a hundred times more for Toby Fox's career than it did for Andrew Hussie's. And, yes, a lot of that was people getting sick of Hussie's bullshit (and the fact it was a video game), but if he'd ended Homestuck in 2013 and made Psycolonials as the fifth MSPaint Adventure, would he be better off now? I don't know, but I kind of doubt it.

today: my brain does not work. i don't remember a single thing i learned in school. i am filled with the urge to commit a crime.

in all seriousness, go check out psycolonials! it's a visual novel by Andrew Hussie, available for FREE on Steam!

anticapitalist, gay-friendly, possibly cognitohazardous! check it out!

It’s apparently being released in chunks, with the first chapter (45 minutes or so of “gameplay”, though it’s pure non-interactive visual novel) out now and then free DLC for the remaining 8 chapters released every week or so. It’s basically a webcomic disguised as a visual novel, which is neat and something I’d considered doing myself (as have a million people, I’m sure). Assuming the chapters are all about the same length, it’s $10 for ~6-7 hours of story, which gets no complaints from me.

As to whether it’s good, I liked it well enough. I hear a lot of people complaining about the art, but I didn’t have an issue with it. It’s much more “MSPaint Adventures” than it is “Homestuck” and I think a lot of people maybe weren’t expecting that. 

Though you can never truly be free Storywise the one chapter was maybe too short to analyze. It’s a story about disaster people and the internet, is all I can really say without getting into spoilers (Though, after a year plus of Homestuck 2, wow an actual animation happened)
