The first piece of evidence is a picture on the bottom left, showing Joey, Jude, and a blonde girl that looks exactly like Roxy and Mom Lalonde. What we see in the family photos represents some important pieces of evidence that leads to the conclusion that this game takes place in the post-scratch timeline before John, Dave, Rose, and Jade were born. This created an even more powerful villain, Bec Noir, who began killing everyone in the post-scratch timeline. Unfortunately, their plan backfired when they accidentally prototyped him with Jade’s dog, Bec. To defeat him, they planned to prototype Jack Noir with something useless. Their main antagonist in their timeline was a Derse citizen named Jack Noir. Their guardians disappeared, so they had no choice but to enter the Medium, which was part of the game. John, Dave, Rose, and Jade all started to play a beta version of a game called Sburb, which destroyed the Earth and probably killed most of civilization. (John’s Dad didn’t really have a post-scratch version.) Close-up of Teen Mom Lalonde, Joey, and Jude These guardians basically are the post-scratch versions of Roxy, Jake, Dirk, and Jane. We’ll refer to them as Grandpa Harley, Mom Lalonde, John’s Grandma, John’s Dad, and Dave’s Bro. The humans had guardians or family members in the entirety of Homestuck, who played a role through most of the webcomic. It’s also named the post-scratch timeline because of a particular man named Doc Scratch, who played an important role in the trolls’ game and society. The reason why the timeline is called post-scratch is because the “DVD” that represents the timeline has a literal scratch on it. The post-scratch timeline was the timeline with John, Rose, Dave, Jade, and the beta trolls (Karkat, Sollux, Aradia, etc.). In Homestuck, there were two timelines, the post-Scratch timeline and the pre-scratch timeline. (Warning: If you haven’t read Homestuck yet, I recommend not reading further, as it may contain spoilers. But what really makes them connect? For that answer, we have to dig in to Homestuck and the different timelines. Obviously they share a connection because the some of the people working on Homestuck have been working on Hiveswap. This basically leads in to how this game and Homestuck are related. Claire and Harley Family Screenshot 1 Claire and Harley Family 2 What’s really interesting about the trailer is the scenes showing the family pictures. It also shows her fighting the monsters inside the house. Joey is shown inside their house, while Jude is stuck in their tree house. Basically what the trailer shows us is that monsters suddenly appear at their home, inside and out. What we definitely know about the game so far is that there are two main characters so far: Joey Claire and Jude Harley. It takes pace in the 90’s where Joey accidentaly gets sucked into a portal which leads to the planet of Alternia, where she meets some trolls and trys to stand up against a ruthless teenager Heiress. Hiveswap is a game based on the webcomic Homestuck, and is being created by What Pumpkin Studios in New York. (You should probably read Homestuck before reading this article…or at least try to.) In this article, I’m going to analyze the trailer, what we know about the game so far, and how it relates to Homestuck. It’s been a week since the Homestuck game Hiveswap has had its trailer, and I am pretty hyped for its release in January 2017. The post-scratch timeline was created because of this scratch. The pre-scratch timeline was before John, Dave, Rose, and Jade created the Scratch. Edit: I have realized that I mixed up the pre-scratch and post-scratch timelines.
