Hiveswap

Hiveswap is an upcoming episodic adventure game developed by Andrew Hussie. Based in the universe of his MS Paint Adventures web comic Homestuck, it will focus on a girl who is accidentally transported to the planet of Alternia—home of the troll species seen in Homestuck. It will be the first of two games, with a second, future installment featuring a male troll who was swapped onto Earth in her place.

The game was the subject of a crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter, raising over US$2.4 million in funding. While development initially began with developers The Odd Gentlemen, it was eventually moved back in-house under What Pumpkin's own newly formed game development studio.

Act I was slated for release in Mid-2015, however this release date was delayed indefinitely.

Development

On September 4, 2012, Andrew Hussie announced a Kickstarter to raise funds for a video game based on his MS Paint Adventures web comic Homestuck. Development was to begin in 2013, with the finished product expected in 2014. Kotaku noted that the project had raised "more than $275,000 in hours". More than 80% of the $700,000 goal was pledged in the first day.
