Who are you again? And what the hell are you doing here? Wait… is this Earth, and who exactly is that kid over there? He looks nice!

Embark on a quest of epic importance in Pesterquest, a grimsical episodic visual novel set in the darkly funny Homestuck/Hiveswap universe created by American author and artist Andrew Hussie.  

Find all the answers you’re looking for across 14 volumes of idiosyncratic adventure packed with visual mastery and shrewdly written narrative. As you zap between Earth and Alternia, you’ll discover and reconnect with up to 20 friends both extra and terrestrial.

With 14 volumes in total, you’ll reconnect with familiar friends in a series of short visual novels as a new volume is released every 2 weeks. The first 2 volumes will release together at launch.

Timelines collide in the next chapter of the Friendsim story! Pesterquest is the latest visual novel in the Homestuck universe; discover all-new stories about Homestuck’s classic cast of characters.

Continue the friend-finding escapades of MSPA Reader from Hiveswap Friendsim, meeting and developing a relationship with a new character in each volume.

Dive deeper into Homestuck lore in this rich visual novel with a darkly comedic tone and an unapologetically irreverent story.

14 volumes will unfold with regular releases—make EVERY friend in one affordable bundle!

Returning artists, writers and musicians from Hiveswap Friendsim have collaborated with new talent to bring you these zapping adventures.

The sequel to Friendsim, Pesterquest, is coming September 4, 2019!

Favourite friendsim character?

[ornathe]

many thanks to the lovely @ahugevriska​, @hypeswap, and @sanctferum​, i now bring you the full upd8!

So it’s been a while. There are a lot of reasons for our silence, and honestly it’s a whole tangle of stuff that maybe one day we’ll get into. But right now the good news is we’re in a stage of development where we can start sharing some things and are committed to talking with you more frequently.

ACT 2

We know you’re eager to find out something, anything, so let’s cut to the chase - yes, Act 2 is in active development. While we don’t want to start throwing out release dates until we’re a little further along, we’re happy to say that the script, art and design work is nearly complete, and programming is underway.

You might gather from the above description that Hiveswap development is a little unusual. Let’s just say we learned a lot of lessons during development of Act 1. For Act 2 we have built a staggered development process where the script and design come first, followed by the art. Then our programming team will put it all together while the writing, design and art teams move on to Act 3. Once we have all the Act 2 content and programming together, we will move into a play-testing and iteration phase before release.

This approach is working much better for us but one downside of this approach is that there isn’t much gameplay footage to show for most of the development. We can’t show you any gameplay yet but we would like to share a few snippets…

We will have more to share on Act 2 soon and we want to share it with you first. For our next update we’d like to invite you to submit questions about Act 2 via this google form and we will aim to answer as many of them as possible in the update.

LUDONARRACON

You may also have seen that we will be attending LudoNarraCon this weekend, a digital convention for narrative games that is taking place on Steam from May 10-13. We will be “exhibiting” at the event and streaming on the Hiveswap Steam store page.

We do want to let you know in advance that we will not be sharing any further info on Act 2 during the stream beyond what we have posted above. Any new info on Act 2 will be delivered here first, when it’s ready.

That said, we would be thrilled if you can join un for LudoNarraCon. The Hiveswap development team will be playing Act 1, chatting about the story, Homestuck as an inspiration, and channeling their inner 90′s teenager! The Friendsim team will also be taking part in the stream and we will be making a demo of Act 1 available for the duration of the convention.

The indie game label Fellow Traveller is running the convention, and we’re really excited to be taking part alongside so many great developers like Inkle and Weather Factory.

Thanks again for your patience and support. We’re so happy to be back talking about Act 2 and can’t wait to share more info soon.

We’re very proud to present what the Trollodex has been leading up to: SNOWBOUND BLOOD: A VAST ERROR STORY.

‘Trolls lie dead in the snow in Repiton’s Northern Wastes. Stolen? An artifact of possibly global importance. It’s Chief Regulator Secily Iopara’s job to get to the bottom of it.’

Vol. 1 will release on Friday, March 22nd through itch.io with subsequent volumes releasing every two weeks.
