Some more of your questions to the Hiveswap: Act 3 team over at What Pumpkin!

Q: Has the basic outline of the story remained since the launch of Act 1 & 2? Has it undergone major changes over the years? A: There’s a broad strokes outline followed since Act 1 that hasn't changed all that much.

Q: Will we see any more of Trizza Tethis? (Caroline) A: Unfortunately, yes.

Q: Will the characters we chose to come onto the train have a bigger role in the later story because of such? (12Cashmere) A: Not like, enormously bigger but yes, Chixie’s role changes significantly. There’s going to be a lot more carryover on choices like this from Act 2 to 4 and 3 to 4.

Q: Have there been any characters whose quirks were particularly difficult to figure out? (Alienoid) A: A guy named Garjon.

First... Blog post?? sup gang

i haven't done one of these before or something, but i guess i'm doing it now for a reason so yo! big news!

I've recently got a job on working Hiveswap !! yippie !!

So glad that this went through and I'm excited to be able to work on official Homestuck property!

Also, on the more personal side, I also have a Webtoon of my own and stuff that you can go read and support! I have a Patreon and stuff that'll really help out on just personal stuff!

You can go read my Webtoon on the Webtoons App and Desktop page: Here!! and My Patreon: Here!!

do you know if anyone's been able to find exactly what kind of instruments were used in Hiveswap's ost? there are a lot of funky little synths that i've been trying to recreate for weeks on end at this point (like the one in Snake Escape) in James' native DAW (reason, because they were made in there). i asked the guy himself and he said that someone managed to reconstruct them somewhere (???) but i've found nothing on that either

hm, i've never seen anything official, but that sounds like the sort of fan analysis project that wouldn't really end up on my radar. anyone else have any ideas?

will we ever get lyrics for the rest of the grubbles/grubbels songs? 🙏

no, and i didn't write the ones that exist. i didn't want there to be lyrics and was never on board with the idea.

hi! i was talking to someone who thinks he remembers a quote in act 2 about mind control having to do with chemicals. he says it was mentioned in the jade/teal car.

"why dont you just mind control them into telling the truth"

"its not MIND CONTROL its CHEMICALS and also it doesnt WORK THAT WAY"

-his memory of the quote

i know this is pretty oddly specific but i am really curious to find this!!

i can't say i remember anything like that, but i've been wrong before. followers?

Act 3 music previews

there were actually 2 more tracks james roach previewed in the stream, but those haven't been uploaded anywhere on their own.

[everythinghiveswap]

i'll make a new post with the links to the music previews when they go up, but in the meantime:

James very very vaguely alluded to "something" that is in the works that he is in charge of, which is presumably some sort of homestuck-related project.

He also explained that the homestuck 2.0 story was in fact really really boring, they were gonna do like youtube react type stuff, and then the person who was doing it quit and they couldnt use any of the footage. this isn't hiveswap related but it's an old fandom mystery that's finally been solved, so.

Cridea's lusus is a pistol shrimp (probably. he said "I think," so, grain of salt.)

Cridea is based on that sort of rich person who "cares about" global injustice from their private yacht. her private persona is also fairly different than her public one.

we got previews of:

cridea's channel theme

cridea's hive theme

Jeevik Week theme

the wii shop channel Scythian theme

and the theme for the Clown Area in Act 3

James Roach on twitter:

i was invited to do a panel at the homestuck convention it will be a general Q&A and an Act 3 Music Preview centered around Cridea and the in-game event Jeevik Week. I specifically asked Andrew for permission to share this and he gave the OK. I will try to post the HQ previews without me talking or stream sounds afterwards.

(he's referring to the online convention, Stuck At Home Con)
