hi! um do you know umm what was supposed to be homestuck 2.0? I have seen it mentioned by some people but I never knew and I've been curious since then but im not sure what is it or what, is it canceled? was it a rumor? is it some in-fandom joke/meme? I read and finished homestuck last year after the credits, so I've only know about hiveswap and the incoming epilogue :0

Back while Hiveswap was still 3D, Homestuck 2.0 seemed to be some sort of creative initiative intending to expand Homestuck beyond the comic itself and doing things that involved the Fandom as a whole in them. Paradox Space would have been a ‘precursor’ to Homestuck 2.0 so to say, and Dante Basco seemed to be pushing the project a little bit, going as far as to make a video on the official Homestuck Youtube Channel asking Fans to send video reactions of what their thoughts and experiences with the comic had been.

Sadly, it seems like it was dropped off at one point- The video was deleted, talk about Homestuck 2.0 stopped, and given the development hell Hiveswap went through to actually come out, it’s not surprising they had to leave secondary projects off to the side.

Now that Hiveswap Act 1 is out, however, with Hiveswap Act 2 in the works and Hussie having partnered with Viz Media, it’s possible that Homestuck 2.0 may be revived- Perhaps not with that name, but in spirit at least.
