Remember 3 years ago when Andrew hussie raised 2.5 million bucks for a video game that has yet to be released or even really announced

The fandom should be aware that the individuals Hussie contracted the game out to took the entire budget from him, promising to make a fantastic game to Hussie’s specs, but used the money to make a few OTHER games, and only created a walk cycle in the year Hussie had planned to have the game completed. When Hussie realized what happened he yanked the rights to the game, turned Whatpumpkin into a game development studio, and he and his creative team have been desperately trying to learn to make games themselves with no budget left to do it, trying to sustain themselves on shop and convention product sales.

In other words Hussie got so mad that his fans got ripped off that he decided to do everything himself and has been putting the comic on hold frequently so he can do the thing and make the game more awesome than originally planned, but he doesn’t know what he’s doing so everything is taking way longer than intended.

In the meantime, while he and his team are learning new skills, they’re using those developing skills to release new games like Undertale in an attempt to learn new things and show their skills, and hopefully help fund the Homestuck game.
