Hiveswap (Homestuck adventure game)

They don't really look conjoined. They could be connected at the ankle or something.

Hope you like the troll zodiac signs BECAUSE THEY'VE ALL BEEN REVEALED

also included is a personality quiz to determine which one you are

I got this one, called Aro

I got Aquasci the second time. When taking it on the phone I got Aquapio.

EDIT: What's notable here is that Xefros's symbol is a part of the Rustblood signs. But Dammek's isn't found anywhere on the chart. Fuel for the hidden high-blood theory?

I got this one - Pipio, Sign of the Searcher.

I got Ligo.

Nah his symbol is there

Ah! Missed that!

What is notable about that, depending on how much they're sticking to these descriptions with the actual characters, is that what we know about him doesn't line up with Blood's description:

probably because he hasnt had any character development yet

Which one is Xefros's, again?

Ariborn

Thanks!

...So he's associated with Rage, huh? Interesting...

I ended up getting Cannius, though I'm not entirely sure how accurately it describes me.

Taurrius, though the Hope aspect doesn't sound much like me. In fact, I'm more drawn to Rage, it's opposite, though Space sounds most like me overall.

I got Arpia. The derse description is a pretty good match, but not the zodiac sign (which isn't too surprising since most descriptions of my zodiac sign are about as far as you can get from my actual personality).

And I guess from this we can now glean that Zebede is Prospit/Light(Sign of the Concise), Tyzias is Prospit/Blood(Sign of the Charmer), Daraya is Prospit/Hope(Sign of the Fierce), Mallek is Prospit/Time(Sign of the Mutineer), and the twins are Derse/Breath(Cartographer) and Derse/Doom(Perilous). Awfully weighted towards Prospit there, huh. Also, now we have a whole blood class (lime) that I don't think we ever saw in the comic? Neato.

As for the silhouettes I'm excited about seeing revealed: the one directly above and to the left of Daraya seems like a scraggly hunter type, the one directly to the right of the twins seems like they could be some kind of inventor, the one directly above Zebede looks like a cool cowgirl, the one furthest left on the top row looks like a gardener of some sort, the one two left and one down from Zebede has cool hair, and the one directly under Daraya looks fancy as hell (with a little cape and everything!).

we knew limebloods existed, just that they were culled to extinction before the troll session started

I must have missed that. Thanks for clarifying!

Also, new trolls. Going by sign, Nihkee is Prospit/Rage and Sign of the Wild, and Chahut is Prospit/Hope and Sign of the Credulous. Also, I like Chahut's design a lot more than I figured I would.

Wonder what they're going to do with the Fuschias.

Six more trolls since the last post in this thread. Also, Charun is confirmed to be nonbinary, which is really rad!

So, I figure that Amisia's thing about making her own paint is related to her thing about cutting off heads.

Nonbinary? What about the other two quadrants?

Oh yeah, I finally finished Hiveswap.

It was quite good, and I'm (patiently) looking forward to the next one. Also, Hauntswitch. I wonder if Momxy will get any direct screentime in that? I like Joey and Xefros as characters a lot, and the writing is quite nice. There are a few things where it touches on Homestuck territory that were off-putting initially (I've never been a fan of the idea that troll blood castes all have certain specific psychic powers, for instance) but I've mellowed out on those counts, and all the Scratch stuff is pretty great.

I have some more achievements to pick up some time, but I don't know when I'll get around to that.

Mainly just posting this here for posterity, seems like the thread has been dead, with troll call talk just being in the MSPA thread itself.

I've been playing Hiveswap too, though it's going at a very slow pace because I insist on using everything on everything. You get some achievements that way, I've found, such as by refusing to give pet treats to Bubsy.

It's a good game. I can't get enough of the art and music. In a way, it's a good thing most of the game's budget was scuttled, because the 2D art and animation look so much better than that 3D trailer.

The 2D art really is much better. I wonder how the gameplay would have been, otherwise, but I'm perfectly happy with what we got.

Using everything on everything sure was a rewarding experience, too, although I didn't keep it up for the whole game. The massive break I took between starting and finishing didn't help much, either.

I'm curious as to the lack of rustblood trolls in troll call. I guess they just left a lowblood neighborhood, but there are still bronzebloods listed there.
