Trailer for The Genesis Project (a fanmade recreation of Homestuck's SBURB)

[@ZakarisDankMemeStash]

Finally, I too can become John Homestuck.

[@RudyG.Numpad]

Become John Egbert from hit 2009 Webcomic Homestuck

[@kimchi3147]

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

[@hhone748]

excellent wording

[@zackbuildit88]

It’s still totally gonna swallow it up, just with less foam at the mouth

[@Anonymouthful]

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.

[@celeri6497]

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

[@znoopsy]

dont speak too soon, but this looks promising as hell

[@zetaalpha5110]

Heres to hoping paradox space causes the games code to rapidly mutate and produce actual copies of sburb

[@samuel-rw3xt]

That would be cool and horrible , we know for a fact that you and me are not ectoclones , so we are not gonna survive

[@zetaalpha5110]

@@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

[@samuel-rw3xt]

@@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

[@hollowPoet_]

@@samuel-rw3xt sorry for the late response but a reminder Calliope and Caliborn are not ectoclones!

[@samuel-rw3xt]

@@hollowPoet_ oh yeah , I totally forgot about that , hummm so I guess is not a requirement just a common thing to happen

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]

Boot mctoot

[@Sashacoolguy_Games]

Not thirteenth. Ten would fit better

[@Partyhatmassacre]

It’d be fire, if the game worked properly most of the time

[@Alexshmalexx]

lol yeah I never even got into a portal yet

[@dylanwatson9384]

Man when the game IS working though? Shit's mad fire

[@celeri6497]

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

[@drakath5727]

Yet another case of a team not doing something, so the fans just do it themselves. Looking real promising!

[@lilmissgreenie]

maybe the real project was the genesis we made along the way

[@templebeast1324]

I'm more surprised that this didn't happen sooner.

[@lazyspade1559]

I’m mean this has technically been out since 2017 I think

[@Cri_Jackal]

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.

[@kanayadeliz2584]

FINALLY. When WhatPumpkin started making Hiveswap, I remember saying to myself, "why didn't they just make SBURB?"

[@kylerarts]

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 game originally introduced me to Homestuck when i played it on my old computer years ago

[@MynnieMonster]

I tried this out last year-it was pretty fun. Can’t wait to see how far it’s come since 2020!

[@TammiLyn39]

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.

[@logandenton1622]

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!

Delightful 👏

[@vanderkarl3927]

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?

[@Cri_Jackal]

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.

[@Sweld549]

@@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.

[@Cri_Jackal]

@@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 remember seeing this a while back and thinking nothing of it. Now I work on the game! Funny how life does that.
