alright, folks! it’s almost Friday and you know what that
means: MORE TROLLS! specifically, the launch of Friendsim Volume 9: Of Gazes Cool And Tempers Hot!
I know you’re
all just dying to find out who’s gonna be featured – but die no longer! live,
and live happy, because here they are:
first up, we have AZDAJA KNELAX! I think a lot of people who
saw the volume title guessed this one, and good work! you got it right. you’re officially geniuses. I said so which makes it true
this bad boy is one part
Kaiba, one part Vegeta, and all parts insufferable, so I’m sure you can’t wait
to meet Konyyl’s partner in crime. his route’s a fun one! you might even say
the fun levels are over—well, you know.
and then of course, our other troll is…
the long-awaited…
AMISI—huh?? hang on a second. what’s this new horseshit???
Amisia already got a route! blueblood or not, nobody has the right to hog all the
Friendsim screentime like this. we’ve got like, what, 20-ish more trolls to get
through? come ON. but then again, who am I to argue with the girl holding a
giant hatchet? I’ll let this one slide for now, but you’re on THIN ICE, Erdehn
you can befriend AZDAJA and AMISIA(???) in Friendsim Vol. 9
when it launches TOMORROW, August 3rd!! a bunch of the team is busy that
morning so we’re shooting for a 5 PM PST launch. see you then!
- Azdaja’s route is written by KIERAN MIRANDA and features Alexander Rosetti’s “DaJam”
- Chahut’s route is written by AYSHA U. FARAH and features “take me to clown church” by James Roach
- Art for this volume is by GINA CHACÓN
As with Polypa, the character select screen will change after playing Chahut’s route.
As expected from the teaser, Amisia joins the cast of characters included in the base game, joining Konyyl, Tagora, Zebruh, and Skylla (this ensures they will appear in their cameos even if you don’t own their introductory volume)
Volume 10 will be titled: “Volume Ten: Of Faraway Lands And Nearby Friends”
Head on over to For Fans By Fans and participate in the HIVESWAP/Friendsim Fan Forge with your Friendsim artwork and share with all the other talented folks sharing theirs!
It’s Friday and we are in a good mood so here is your 25% off code for all Jake English and Homestuck merch code! And keep a look out for more Jake coming soon!!
Zebede’s Grype avatar ( a Skype parody) seems to be of a Troll version of The Beatles, featuring a troll that suspiciously shares Eridan’s iconic hairstyle
Character art is by Adrienne Garcia, with background art by both Phil Gibson and Angela Sham. Phil Gibson also did the ending illustrations for this volume.
And some other notes:
- Polypa’s sprites are now included in the base game
- Vol. 11 is confirmed but unnamed, with simply a “TBD” (To Be Determined) in the files

if zebede’s route is done by magdalena clark why is he also listed under aysha’s credits?
yeah, just caught that as well. seems they co-wrote Zebede’s route together. with the two additional bg artists as well, this seems to be the most people to have worked on one volume

Tegiri’s route Alternian translations and as many references as I can get myself…. I am… not enough of a weeb for some of this…
Thanks to Vice and the rest of the #friendsim chatroom on the Homestuck Discord for some help. I’m fairly sure a few more of those figures and swords are references still to some stuff I just don’t know of.
This guy is especially familiar but I can’t quite place him
Also yeah, Tegiri has a big sign with the Japanese word for, as Google-translate puts it, “Tits”
so those of you who keep up with the fandom probably know by now that the dataminers always find the name of the next volume hidden in the code when a new Friendsim launches. but yesterday… there was none! oh no! it was still TBD!
well, I’m happy to tell you that it is no longer TBD. it has very much BD, and now I am ready T tell you what it is
*clears throat*
Volume Eleven: Of Pals And Promises, Made And Broken
Hello, spoon fans! We have received a final proof of the book, complete with holographic effect on the cover. Take a look at this bad boy
We approved this immediately and now the nonsense factory is chugging away at making this book come true! Thanks for your patience and your support; we wanted to make this a really weird and fun book and that takes time. We think you’ll really love the final product!
I know you’ve all been waiting patiently for this announcement! Well, not so patiently. But domo arigato anyway! Glad to have you aboard for another ride.
Projected release time is 4 PM PST! Be there. Play it! Have fun.
You can tell us when it’s over if the high was worth the pain.
