I expected something like this from the Kickstarter, turns out you didnt need millions of dollars to make a game that manages to capture one of the core elements of Homestuck.
you dont need any dollars if you have a passionate team of fans making the thing! tgp doesn't even accept donations because sburb is the intellectual property of hussie and viz
A young person stands in their bedroom. It just so happens that today, the 13th of April, is the steam release of The Genesis Project. Though it was thirteenth years ago Homestuck was given life, it is only today they will be given a name! What will the name of this young lad be be? ==> ENTER SBURB
@@samuel-rw3xt is it actually stated that being an ectoclone is a requirement of a successfull session? It only stands to reason that if the genesis frogs reproductive system is anything like an actual animals, it would evolve to have as many opportunities to reproduce as possible, meaning as long as a session consists of the most basic requirements(a space player and at least two players, potentially a knight and time player but not explicitly necessary) theres a chance for it to succeed, but at this point im just rambling on semantics
@@zetaalpha5110 I don't know if it is a requirement but it seems so , all the player we have got created using the game , and it would make sense with the theme sburb has ,of everything relevant being paradoxicaly caused by itself
recent patch got a lot of the broken shit fixed. the steam port ended up breaking a lot but the biggest game-breaking bugs have been ironed out by 0.5.0-7. biggest remaining bug is issues with the lich queen boss fight
It's a bit of a programming nightmare make a game like this, ESPECIALLY since it's isometric. The programming behind the whole client to server player chain, and keeping the online game world they play in consistent across their machines with even just 2 players is a difficult thing to pull off. Back during Homestuck's heyday the engines most people would've had access to would've been flash or Unity, both of which would've compounded how hard it would be to program for anyone who wasn't literally just a good programmer. By the time resources became more available to make something like this, Homestuck had already past peak popularity.
From What I've Played So Far, And The Knowledge That There Are Still Big Chunks You All Are Working On, I'm Excited To See The Development Of This Game Reach What Fans Have Been Wanting For So Long, And Have Loved What I've Seen So Far. I'm Past Gate One And Am Grinding My Way To God Tier!
this shit is actually bomb me and my friends have been playing recently and we go nutty over it. hardest ive laughed while playing a game with my friends in a while. very well made
I’m honest genuinely so happy homestuck is coming back onto the scene. It’s been my special interest since 2019 and it’s really great that I can have more people to talk to about it.
Played the game, it's fire. There are problems here and there, but as development progresses they'll probably be fixed. I'm looking forward to the full release
Looking forward to when you can go back in time to save your teammates from dooming the session! Also looking forward to when you can have a session with more than 1 player without someone's game bugging and making them unable to start or enter... I guess that's what early access is for, eh?
OH MY GOD programming time travel will be an absolute nightmare if they try it, it could basically duplicate and double the size of everyones save files at a moments notice. Time loops are completely out of the question.
@@Cri_Jackal On paper time loops aren't THAT complicated once you remember the players basically have no agency in creating them. They're functionally just events Sburb has predetermined will happen, that the players are then required to make sure happen. You wouldn't be going back in time to change anything, you'd be going back in time to make sure everything you previously saw happens exactly as you previously saw it.
@@Sweld549 and just have there be a luck attribute in the game that governs critical hit rates for enemies and the chance for unscrupulous random events to happen that'll likely kill you. Then, if a player fails to carry out a predetermined time loop, give a fat -500 to that value. If you're in a permadeath mode, this is basically game over, but regardless, you'd still be able to fix this by using time travel to correct the timeline. This would also roll into time players being able to duplicate themselves, they'd be able to choose which copy to control, the others functioning as AI, but the game will be programmed to kill these alt timeline selves until there's only 1 of you left via the luck value, unless you pull a Davesprite and differentiate them enough to count as separate people.
I have a recurring dream where I try to make a mod to this game to add realistic weather patterns, but in doing so pull from weather databases, accidentally creating actual sburb
oh boy i can't wait to play as legendary god tier homestuck character jogn edit but fr this looks like an awesome game im really looking forward to checking it out :)
This looks so cool, I dream it gets funded by AH. But you know how it is, things aren't ever that perfect. I'll check this out in like, I dunno, 20 years. I would've loved this back when homestuck was relevant.
Its a shame something like this didn’t come out in 2012, the homestuck fandom back then would’ve swallowed this up while foaming at the mouth
excellent wording
It’s still totally gonna swallow it up, just with less foam at the mouth
Finally, I too can become John Homestuck.
Become John Egbert from hit 2009 Webcomic Homestuck

Boot mctoot
Not thirteenth. Ten would fit better
Heres to hoping paradox space causes the games code to rapidly mutate and produce actual copies of sburb
That would be cool and horrible , we know for a fact that you and me are not ectoclones , so we are not gonna survive

@@hollowPoet_ oh yeah , I totally forgot about that , hummm so I guess is not a requirement just a common thing to happen
It’d be fire, if the game worked properly most of the time
lol yeah I never even got into a portal yet
Man when the game IS working though? Shit's mad fire

"This beta isnt finished"
@@streetpunkstreams4730 “This beta isn’t even a Beta, Alpha Beta at best, Beta’s when it comes in CD’s.”
Yet another case of a team not doing something, so the fans just do it themselves. Looking real promising!
FINALLY. When WhatPumpkin started making Hiveswap, I remember saying to myself, "why didn't they just make SBURB?"
I'm more surprised that this didn't happen sooner.
I’m mean this has technically been out since 2017 I think

maybe the real project was the genesis we made along the way
When the home is stuck
this is how the world ends. you realise that right
I went to bed the night before 4/13 wishing for sburb to be real, and my wish came true!
(Kinda disapointed that humanity didnt die though...)
same
Coming soon...
Hey, take nothing granted until the release. There's sitill time...

you had me at "fight your dad"
This game originally introduced me to Homestuck when i played it on my old computer years ago
Oh my God, the minute this game drops it'll be all I'm playing for weeks, I guarantee it!!!
Its on steam rn
I know, I got it the day after I posted this
@@dgphoenix6611 oh im sorry
@@sarmthemawile2316 You don't have to be sorry lol
Despite the glitches my friend and I have been having a blast with it. I love the team working really hard to fix issues quickly too.
THIS SONG IS LITERALLY THE BEST THING IVE EVER HEARD ??!?!?!??!?!?!??!?!??
Oh shit I was actually gonna make a homestuck game exactly like this
HOLY SHIT! REAL??
It's impressive how much there is to show on the development end!
Your fantroll is real now
LMAOOO Canon fantroll achieved
I’m honest genuinely so happy homestuck is coming back onto the scene. It’s been my special interest since 2019 and it’s really great that I can have more people to talk to about it.
Aaaah, so this is how SBURB plays like...
holy shit i played this back in 2019 with my old friend, here i am again XD
I tried this out last year-it was pretty fun. Can’t wait to see how far it’s come since 2020!
Played the game, it's fire. There are problems here and there, but as development progresses they'll probably be fixed. I'm looking forward to the full release
Nah man I ain’t falling for this! I know it’ll bring about the end times!
I’m all seriousness this looks so cool. I can’t wait to see more!
I remember seeing this a while back and thinking nothing of it. Now I work on the game! Funny how life does that.
Is this project still being developed?
Hiku....my beloved..
please tell me someone uploaded an official full version of this song because this unironically slaps ngl

This game is good and nicely accurate ish, played it before it came on steam
Hell fucking yes! We’re doing it bro!! We’re making this happen!!!
delivery it's a meteor just for you
How. This is so GOOD, HOW did you make such a HIGH QUALITY trailer
Me and my friends have been playing this game since it came out and it’s AWESOME
Ha, would be fun to indulge such a while back, though I fear I may be too alone to play this. I ain’t no Caliborn.
singleplayer works like normal sburb in this game :)
Its time to become mr homesuck
When will it come out?!
TELL ME, TELL ME PLEASE, I AM SO FREAKING EXCITED!!
Yaaaaay finally
Me and my friend have been waiting for the new version yayy
Most of my online friends have 4 letter names (Owen, will, drew, bren) albeit some are shortened that’s the name they still go by and it’s quite funny
looks cool. hope its actually finished and working at least well enough
should we beware of any meteors outside? lol - but it looks good
This looks amazing
Holy shit this looks so good, I can't wait for the full project to come out!
fr like it’s so smooth looking
I have a recurring dream where I try to make a mod to this game to add realistic weather patterns, but in doing so pull from weather databases, accidentally creating actual sburb
This is incredible!
Looks cool, might try it out
Holy smokes this looks great!
Incredible job
Thank goodness someone finally did this. I was already thinking about making it myself if dobody else did xD
I'm crying of happines now
Delightful 👏
OSIDJAHA THAT LOOKS SO COOL
Hopefully this one doesn’t end the world
THIS IS AMAZING.
Homestuck The Videogame😎👍💚😍🎵🎮
Perfect trailer.

YESSS!!
THANK GOD!!!!!!!

homestuck moment
AYEEE FUCKING YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
It's been so long, you hear that young me?
I'm getting this and I'm gonna alchemize the s--t out of everything
If I start seeing metors I swear to gog....
looks awesome i wounder what a game like sburb would be like
Epic Homestuck
Oh god
I hope you learn machine learning and use GMT-3 to create a PERFECT AI CAPABLE OF RECREATING THE PERFECT ALCHEMY SYTEM.
Was thinking exactly the same. AI isn't yet on the level to recreate SBURB's customization system, but we're closer than ever.
THIS LOOKS SO FUCKIN FUN!!!!
It's Time For Me To Become The Thief Of Space!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh no, its becoming real
