Rip Xerox Titro, you would have love.... living?

Some more of your questions to the Hiveswap: Act 3 team over at What Pumpkin!

Q: Has the basic outline of the story remained since the launch of Act 1 & 2? Has it undergone major changes over the years? A: There’s a broad strokes outline followed since Act 1 that hasn't changed all that much.

Q: Will we see any more of Trizza Tethis? (Caroline) A: Unfortunately, yes.

Q: Will the characters we chose to come onto the train have a bigger role in the later story because of such? (12Cashmere) A: Not like, enormously bigger but yes, Chixie’s role changes significantly. There’s going to be a lot more carryover on choices like this from Act 2 to 4 and 3 to 4.

Q: Have there been any characters whose quirks were particularly difficult to figure out? (Alienoid) A: A guy named Garjon.

Hiveswap Act 3 News!!

There was a SAHCon stream earlier today, featuring members of the production team!

They shared sneak peaks, commented them and answered a few questions.

Now if you want to watch the stream I'll put it at the end of this post, it's 30min long.

I'll just share the visuals they shared here ^^

Let's discuss their meaning!!

(Edit : almost forgot!) Link to the video :

Three new characters for Hiveswap Act 3. Two are from Hatched 2 Dance (K-pop troll band) and a sea dweller party guest. As well as some questions being answered. Hiveswap Act 3 is said to be The Big Plot. There will be more adventure and puzzle elements. They have to finish Hiveswap first before Hauntswitch. And how they make their characters.

March 31 2024 edit: super late edition lol, but it’s definitely more likely that she found this human stuff (from Jake or something?) and moved in. I’m definitely keeping the idea that at least some of this is modeled after Earth Stuff tho

Something from SAHcon! I’m assuming this is Fiamet’s respiteblock cuz she says the desk is hers (therefore the room lol). This shows us:

1. Fiamet’s recuperacoon is like a human bed!

2. she has a globe of Earth on her shelf!

Clearly she knows about Earth and this whole situation Joey’s in based on her dialogue in another screenshot where she says Joey not returning will cause planet-wide destruction, but the fact that she knows about Earth and appears to have modeled her room in a “human-ish style” is:

1. really cute of her

2. indicative that she actually likes Earth! And has the ability to research/observe humans to some extent outside of empire knowledge considering humans aren’t in whatever empire database Mallek searched. Even her desk isn’t modeled like how we see some other trolls’. Her husktop is like an old human PC while Mallek has a sleek laptop (plus whatever troll smartphones they have, I’m just saying this design choice was on purpose since they have better tech is all). Not sure if it has THAT much to do with her knowledge of Earth but her desk, literal bed, and a globe OF EARTH says otherwise!

Mallek could’ve been wrong about the empire having no record of humans since in Joey’s timeline Earth has already been in touch with the condesce as Betty Crocker for decades, but Hiveswap and homestuck are supposed to be centuries apart on Alternia while only decades have passed on Earth. There’s some timeline stuff eluding me here ig (edit: they’re in different universes! I got confused while writing lol)

I’ll edit this post more later, but here are my thoughts for now. Just brainstorming, I think I missed some stuff but let me know what any of you guys think!

Edit: here’s the other image I was referencing!
