Hey hey! I know it's been a long while.... long story short... I've had to move to another city! And while I am surviving... it'd be a huge help if I could get some more funds, so I'm opening commissions!

Hades Inspired! So if you're looking to get your OC, WOL, fantroll/fankid, fursona, little guys or literally whatever you'd like me to do to look straight out of the game I'd be happy to do just that! (I do also have my own "style" which I can show and discuss about if that's something you're considering too!)

If you're interested please go ahead and DM me here or on my other socials for full details! Thanks everypony :3

OK NOW I ACTUALLY REMEMBERED TO PRESS UPLOAD ON THESE IMAGES- here are the (incredibly messy) diagrams of the routes in Pesterquest Rewritten! mostly i wrote these out for myself, which is why there are two blank paths for juneroute (i got distracted and didn't get a chance to finish). the covered bit on the last page isn't a route or anything it was just me writing down stuff for school.

[pesterquestrewritten]

Pro tip: keep doing gods work. You have caused me to read almost all of PQR at one time and it was peak, and now im considering buying every single Homestuck game at once. I even found both secret routes, with a bunch of checking for a third. Peak gameplay, I owe you my life but you owe me my wallet

yo, thanks. i appreciate you checking out the original games, they're definitely worth checking out. but (baseless speculation) i think the best way to support those devs is to subscribe to the homestuck patreon. at this point im like 67% sure that all pq sales go to fund the publisher and not the devs/writers, so if you wanna support The Homestuck Team, go give them a sub! it'll help a lot more directly i think.

anyway, yeah. i appreciate you checking out my game. feel free to enjoy poking around the code, there's a lotta fun stuff in there hehe INCLUDING wip future routes...

more tavrosroute coming later! this card game loredump section is really intense on a coding level since i have to assume you're picking each pack as your first, second, OR third... blahhh. it's worth it for the bit anyway

[pesterquestrewritten]

What it says on the tin. If you wanna help make this happen, come on in! Spread the word! Now's your chance!

ive been slowly getting my friends really invested in pqr-- especially juneroute and the hiveswap stuff . i hope you guys dont mind edits of your more original sprites?? because replaying half of the game in the span of 3 days inspired me to finally redesign and make a proper icon for one of my fan characters

PQR DEV TEAM RESPONSE:

Not sure if this was meant to be sent in as an ask or not, but this is absolutely lovely!!!!!! You know you've made it when people start making sprite edits of your game. :DDD

@hydro-city-zone (the original artist and writer of Juneroute) says they're cool with it, so it seems like you've got free reign! Absolutely love the creativity on display here.

[pesterquestrewritten]

oh, yeah, ICYMI:

we recently updated Kanayaroute! not to completion quite yet, but it's getting there...

[pesterquestrewritten]

I've gone ahead and compiled the talksprites, backgrounds and end cards in a Drive folder! Enjoy yourselves. Use this power responsibly. Kankri + Meulin will go up once Upd8 3 drops.

oh, yeah, ICYMI:

[pesterquestrewritten]

In the (coughs) several years it's been, there's been some shuffling around in the art department. Kankri + Meulin now have some spiffy new sprites! Meulin's being posted tomorrow.

We are so close.

[pesterquestrewritten]

[pesterquestrewritten]

oh whoops! yeah i meant to ask on this blog sorry!

also yeah i already found bonus route 3! i was bored one day and decided to look in the files of the game mainly to find the music and i stumbled upon it. its really fun so far! i first discovered the route before the new sprites were made and i was very confused at first because i didnt realize ardata was a placeholder sprite lol

gevren karlil is a real person, ive met her

(hi @megasuperhappyfuntimestuff lol)

[pesterquestrewritten]

sorry for taking so long to get back to you (im the "wowzers" anon) but yes! i can totally scream your ear off about this!

you talking about the routes in this game being a metaphor for college and purposes in life reminds me of what playing pqr has meant for me personally. i first found this game when jade's route was still being worked on (the "anticlimatic" update specifically) and its really so strange to see how much of my life has changed. a couple days after i started playing pqr i realized that i was going to have to move and it basically uprooted my life (realization not brought on by pqr just happened to be at around the same time). most of my plans for how i wanted to spend my life, seeing my friends, my career paths, kinda felt like they got eviscerated because of stuff out of my control. but i just like. ignored it and didnt really think about it :) at least until the move happened and it all came crashing down. im sorta better now, but still going through it. and. just seeing jade talk to kanaya and talk about not knowing where to go next or who exactly you are now plus the jade theme music playing in the background that i had listened to constantly while playing, replaying, and rereplaying jade's route. actually made me want to bawl my eyes out (in like a good way though lol). this game is so special to me. its been one of the main things in my life right now thats been keeping me going through it all. i love to go back to it and replay it comparing the older routes to the newer routes and see what references i missed. everytime i play it, it feels like a find something new. and i think even years after now and even if homestuck becomes a smaller part of my life, this game is going to stick with me forever. thank you so so so much.

also, on a sillier note, what the heckadoodle do you mean the fucking hampsters movie was real? i was just like oh haha thats a silly idea! a hamsters movie with the hamster dance! such a funny and fake thing to have in a homestuck fangame! its like guy fieri being the antichrist or gushers being made by a genocidal fish! silly fictional stories making up silly fictional things!

but like i looked it up and its real??? its fucking real????? its a movie i can watch with my very own two eyeballs. apparently fucking saberspark made a video about it?????? huh??????

actually i just realized this is probably very congruous with homestuck. because i do not know how to convey the shock i felt when i was in a convenience store and found out that faygo was real. and then the further shock when i realized that tab was real after telling myself that SURELY at least one drink in homestuck was fictional.

im not sure if you meant to send this to @pesterquestrewritten or not but. holy fucking shit this is one of the sweetest asks ive ever gotten of all time????? jesus christ. oh my god.

i dont think i need to say it but pqr has been a very similar lifeline for ME as well. like, ive been dealing with some pretty schnasty depression since/before leaving school. and, like, working on pesterquest rewritten, HAVING that outlet, that creative place to put my energies, its been so vital for me. and then hearing that its been the same for my READERS????? crazy. crazy wild shit

speaking of older routes, i DID actually go back and add one thing to the rose typewriter ending in the prologue, it uses a new renpy feature that i'd been asking for for months hahaha

and also, if you have the technical knowhow and youre curious, feel free to dig around the internals and find the hidden beta for bonus route 3. im not gonna tell you to not play it lmao

aaa

yeah! yeah yeah yeah yeah. im incredibly happy my writing has resonated. and that the silly puppet show i put on next to my writing has also resonated. its. yeah. waow

wawowawoawoaowoaowaw.

fun fact about the hampsterdance movie. one time when i was in high school i had a professor who was like "yeah i composed music for hampsterdance." and i was like ???? okay man. sure. because at the time that movie was lost media and nobody knew it existed. so i had no fuckin clue what that guy was talking about.

of course YEARS later it turns out that the movie DOES exist. and i looked up the credits and i dont THINK i see his name there? but its probably what hes talking about. if it isnt what hes talking about i have less of a fucking clue than anything at this point lmao

pqr likes to reference my other works a lot! for example, the chatroom called "the nexus" first appeared here, in my first published fic that was textually about ultaradia. youll sometimes find quotes or phrasing that match whatever other fanfic i was writing at the time, or, i mean, obviously, you've got the entire A Bed of Roses section, which USED to be a tribute to my longest work, and now is only a neat reference to my second-longest work. god damn, did pesterquest rewritten ever grow out of proportion lmao

yeah. i think the main thing is that i really could never have gotten as far as i did with pqr without my friends and creative collaborators, who have encouraged me forever one thousand years. pqr is a game about friendship, obviously, but the friendships that were integral in the CREATION of the game are even more important to me than the virtual ones tbh. i love everyone whos in the credits of the game very dearly

thank u all :,)

and thank u for reading and enjoying!!! i'll try and put out more for the kanayaroute bad end tonight :D

[pesterquestrewritten]

wonder what that button on the bottom right does...

[pesterquestrewritten]

playing dave's route again and this was the only way i could express the sheer fear of doc scratch that was instilled in me.

LMAO???? AWESOME

[pesterquestrewritten]

wowzers its been over a year of pqr already? thats awesome! all of the hard work put into this game is amazing! i love the way you characterize everyone, i love the interpretations you have on what would change in the timeline (the matriorb stuff made me tear up a little), i love all of the bonus routes, and i love how much care and passion has been put into the writing, the end cards, the custom music and spritework, and everything else! its awesome seeing other members of the homestuck fandom collaborating in this and working together to make something incredible. this has introduced me to many awesome homestuck creators and is the reason i ever found out about SAHCon. i remember when i first found out about this game having to force myself to not just play the entire thing in one go (if it were not for it being like 1 am when i started to play this i probably would have played it in one sitting lmao)

n e wayz, i hope youre having a good day. and like be kind to yourself. i love this game and am enjoying the updates but you are under no obligation to update it if you dont want to / are unable. sparkle on and dont forget to take some time for yourself :3

I LOVE YOU ANON ???????????????

this is so fucking kind and sweet. im gonna reblog it on main. this is awesome. wow.

im like. damn. people actually Do play this shit. you Did read the new matriorb stuff, thats. that matters to me.

the matriorb stuff is a metaphor obviously. its about the same thing jaderoute was about, the same thing solluxroute was about, daveroute... they were all written before, during, and after i left college, and my angst/existentialism following that choice. what does it mean to have an assigned purpose that's... gone, i guess. and it was better for me but what do i , like, do, now ?

im really excited for whats coming out soon. we finished the good end, but since weve never released a volume with Just The Good End Done, i think we're gonna... wait, to release the full version. oh god are we actually releasing volumes at a time, what are we some kind of PROFESSIONAL OPERATION. AOUGH

if you ever wanna scream my ear off abt this in the future, my main blog is @classpectpokerap, and my discord is @​homestuck.com (yes really askfhdsgjg)

:3

[pesterquestrewritten]

will there eventually be cherub chapters

i hope so. if we get that far that'd be awesome
