Adult Animation Revolution: ‘Homestuck: The Animated Pilot’
by Tito W. James
“On his 13th birthday, John Egbert starts playing a mysterious videogame called Sburb. Unfortunately, this triggers the apocalypse. Fortunately, he and his friends can make things right — if they can beat the game. They’ll need a lot of teamwork, a little luck, and some inspired shenanigans along the way to make it through this mind-bending, genre-defying adventure.“
Homestuck is an interactive webcomic created by Andrew Hussie whose complex, nonlinear plot has garnered a massive cult fanbase online. Now this beloved story is being adapted into animation courtesy of SpindleHorse animation (Helluva Boss, Hazbin Hotel). Once again Vivienne Medrano and company are changing the landscape of indie-animation. A successful Homestuck animated series could introduce a whole new audience to this unique story!
