Anonymous asked:

Are there gonna be other strife abilities, like flipping out or youth rolls

Short answer: I don't know...

Longer answer: New abilities are dependent on quite a lot of things, but the issue I'm most familiar with is the art assets! The player spritesheet is notoriously unwieldy, nobody wants *more* frames added to it. So any new abilities will have to make do strictly with the sprites we have access to already! (Which doesn't outright prevent us, but does make things a little more restricted.)

There better be a "fall down stairs" option or there is no meaning to this whole project

I have to propose this to T EAM immediately.

Hellรณ, (I Don't Believe It, I gonna Ask This) In the Next or Future Updates, More Types (My Nightmare and Fear) Stairs?

Thankfully for you, no! Well... Kind of. I can't really say much about it but I will say there are no new normal stairs.

are there any plans to make the house editor a bit more fun to mess around with? for example: spamming the revise tool in your client player's house thus making weird architecture, or using chimneys as a foundation to build platforms high up. (p.s. i love da game :D)

We will absolutely be making the house builder both more fun AND more user-friendly as time goes by. We have some super interesting things planned (though, no promises on their promptness) to make building better. I, personally, am EXTREMELY excited for a few of them...

will be the scratch machine added at the time players land at some point? and if yes, how is gonna work? also thanks for making this game, this thing is one of my favorite homestuck projects

The scratch and its construct are a long way off if we're adding them. We'd like to focus on the main Sburb gameplay loop first, so they're not our focus right now!

As such, we don't know entirely how a scratch would work. We *have* tossed around a couple ideas, but nothing remotely close to solid enough to share.

Thanks for playing!!! :]

Anonymous asked:

Do you think you'd ever be part of the HICU if they offered? Would that mean you could make money off the game?

It's something we'd have to properly discuss if the time came!

wishing everyone luck on future updates!! this game is so so so well made and its only gonna get better ! thank you genesis project devs we chant repeatedly in unison

Yes... YES!!! Keep chanting, loyal fans, your thanks keep us going!

Anonymous asked:

Do you have any plans to add a Quirk Generator in the game? even if we don't have trolls yet there are a bunch of players that like to do that in game.

Unfortunately, no! We have no current plans to support trolls in any official capacity yet, it is the duty of the roleplayer to manage their quirk. (I think there are some external programs you can use for it, though?)

Anonymous asked:

the prototyping will effect the lich queen at some point? or prototyping diferences in that type will only be added when the Carapacians got into the game?

Eventually, yes, the Lich Queen will be affected by prototypes! I don't think it will be linked to carapacians, though.

Anonymous asked:

Any plans to add angels for hope player lands?

Yep! Some of the Hope lands will have angels eventually.

Anonymous asked:

could you implement a guide or tutoring mode? I'm wanting to play it with a friend but they have no idea how the game works and it can be hard to explain without causing frustration for both of us,

We have an in-game guide (SBURB Guide For Assholes) as well as a Steam tutorial linked in the game, and we are currently working on an official wiki! Otherwise, the #helpline channel in our Discord is always open!
