Lost Chums
For those who don't know, this is my personal homestuck fangame project which will be a 2D-jump'n'run thing done in flash HTML5 (switched now xD ). I won't promise that I'll ever get it done but I love working on this. A lot of concept stuff is done so I think I can work on coding some more again soon. The levels would be each in a seperate deviation.

Current Status
working on character controls and sprites.

Basic plot
This is an AU. There is no Sburb or anything (though god tiering will happen but a bit different). The Alpha and Beta kids live on earth in different towns. Alpha kids being friends and Beta kids being friends. Dave knows Dirk since they are brothers but they don't know each other's friends.
One day Jade gets kidnapped by a spaceship commanded by jack noir and John, Dave and Rose leave to rescue her. Jake also got kidnapped so Dirk, Roxy and Jane go to rescue him.
On the spaceship they also find the aliens Karkat and Vriska who they free as well. And. A lot of stuff happens.

Pairings: John x Karkat, Dirk x Jake, Roxy x Jane

I thought I'd be nice and link all of the comics and animated gifs I did for this so far in chronological order. I'm going to try and update this every time I upload LC stuff : D
If you find wrong links please tell me!

Lost Chums (game concept)
This is the game concept file I uploaded to dA. It's not up to date anymore but a lot of things have stayed the same. A lot of things got expanded but it can still give a bit of an overview of this whole thing.
HS - Random game concept thingGeneral notes about gameplay
The idea of this game is based on an old 2D jump'n'run game called Lost Vikings for SNES and PC. In the first part you had 3 vikings, one could jump, one could fight, one had a shield and you had to get all of the vikings to the end of a level by utilising all of their skills. It also had extremely funny dialogue at the beginning and end of each level.
In the 2nd game two characters were added with additional skills so you had 5 characters. You never had more than 3 at the same time though. Through teleporting around and stuff you always had 3 different characters in a level. Mixing around characters like this gives a lot of possibility for interesting level designs.
The game sometimes required a lot of thinking and a LOT of patience to complete because it's partly insanely hard.. but it's so much fun, too.
While playing it again I suddenly wondered what it would be like to have a homestuck game similar to this?.. and that's what started this thing h Game Concept
