Homestuck Animated Pilot Update — Sept 27
Summary
In Homestuck Community this announcement reveals fresh details on the Homestuck animated pilot arriving September 27. It covers limited creator involvement, story tweaks to make the pilot more accessible, original songs with as much Homestuck OST as possible, and that the pilot is an 11-minute taste rather than a full episode. It also mentions blurred posters for legal caution and limited external collaborator roles.
New information about the Homestuck animated pilot from the Q&A:
- Coming September 27th
- Andrew isn't writing the script, he just hangs out in production chats, has his say and "he chimes in"
- There is "new stuff" and the story is slightly changed... "make Homestuck more accessible for you know, an audience"... "more digestible", but want to make it good for both sides
- Original songs for the pilot, but "planning to use as many from the Homestuck OST as we can"
- Pilot is extremely short for a M-ish rated show (11 minutes) and is basically "just a taste" of what you'd get with a full series, I don't get the feeling it will be episode 1 of the show if it gets approved, they'll have to remake it
- They'll skirt the line of "parody rule", they bring up Con Air by name at least but confirm the posters are blurred. Didn't seem to want to commit on whether the more important elements made it in
- Andrew got Toby into the show, the show didn't contact Toby
- Vivzie has zero involvement besides money and profit
- Not a musical
- Period accurate
