Homestuck Video Game Hiveswap Gets Launch Date, Trailer, And Toby Fox Tunes
The Homestuck game, originally pitched as a Kickstarter in 2012, has finally gotten a release date of September 14.
The Kickstarter earned two million dollars, but was then plagued by radio silence over the last five years, with many doubting the game would ever see release. The game saw several delays and even changed developers twice, so the abrupt launch trailer and release date come as a bit of a surprise.
The game even features music from Undertale creator and composer Toby Fox, who made music for the proto-Homestuck, MS Paint Adventures.
Hiveswap releases on PC on September 14, so check out the launch trailer below.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
