Hiveswap Act 3 demo up on itch. See above for details.
https://hiveswap.itch.io/hiveswap-act-3-preview
Available for Windows
There was just a three-hour+ Act 3 stream that showed the first part of the act. It seemed much like the train section of act 2, featuring long stretches of talking to a bunch of fantrolls around Jeevik's mansion and making minor short-term decisions once every 20 conversations (they said choices might matter down the line). There were no puzzles whatsoever.
Throughout the section, two music tracks played, maybe composed by James Roach or a good impersonator. They were a bit weird, feeling more like short one minute loops that repeated over and over and over.
Unless it appears later, the feature of being able to access an Amazon-like shop and other troll websites seems to have been cut. The only feature other than walking and talking was a "clout meter" that went up or down depending on who you talked to.
They called this 3-hour section with three large environments a "scene", and a small part of Act 3. Supposedly the full thing will be longer than A1+A2 combined... then someone anxiously piped in to say it's longer by WORD count. It feels really wordy but in a visual novel sense.
At the end, this image was shown, though we already knew 2026 was the plan. They said what was shown is a fully playable demo they'll release soon, I assume on Steam. They want to do it before the end of the year. Saves won't transfer into the main game.
Jester Quest just posted 161 new pages and ended. Have fun!

There was an Andrew Hussie AMA on 10/25. Andrew is answering the (now locked) questions slowly, including some interesting stuff like admitting Cascade was the peak of the comic. Here's the first part, to be updated as more come: https://homestuck.net/official/amas/#ama-hussie-2025

There was a HIVESWAP: ACT 3 AMA yesterday, some images have been shared around, but here's a readable version of it: https://homestuck.net/official/amas/#ama-hiveswap-2025
tl;dr: Hauntswitch has a new outline, Act 3 isn't remotely finished code-wise, and writing wise it's still waiting for Miles to finish the script. Beyond that, lots of jokes and hints about the plot.

the homestuck team has done the rare great thing: the bandcamp is coming back as it was, with track art and even the lost albums returning. case in point: https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/album/the-wanderers (I recommend the first track, one of my favorites in the soundtrack)
this is a work in progress, though, not all albums are back yet, but based on the current rate they might be ~~by tomorrow~~ (everything is back except c&m B which is still merged with A for complicated ressons)

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
Skye Henwood answers your questions about the upcoming Homestuck Animated Pilot. Stay till the end for the release date!
