Fantroll Friendsim Applications are open!
This project is about fans coming together to make friendsim games featuring their fantrolls! Everyone who participates is expected to help others as well; this is a collaborative effort after all! It’s also a tribute to the Hiveswap Friendsim games and our mutual love of Hiveswap and Homestuck!
How does this relate to the original Friendsim?
It’s an unofficial sequel.
We highly recommend you play the original first! There will be spoilers, starting with the following sentence!
MC wanders through Scratch’s mansion between reading homestuck, and stumbles into alternate timelines. This is assumably all part of Doc Scratch’s plans. The details of the story are not cemented and will be decided by the writing team, which could include you! This also means we’ll be able to accept fantrolls that might not fit into the canon storyline, as paradox space is vast and he need not visit only the alpha timeline.
Only some basic ones. You can see them here! https://fantrollfriendsim.tumblr.com/rules
How do I join?
Via the roles page ( https://fantrollfriendsim.tumblr.com/roles )! There’s a list of all the roles needed to make the game, as well as applications for fantrolls! You can apply to as many roles as you want, though only apply once to each roll. (You can still edit applications later!) Then, when you’ve submitted all your applications, you can start submitting applications for your fantrolls! You can apply for as many fantrolls as you want, but remember, the more you have in the project, the more work you’ll have to do!
What do you mean, more work?
Because this is a group collaboration project, we’re working with a method of proportionate exchange. Essentially, for each piece you do for yourself, you also do the equivalent for another person’s fantroll. No one’s segment will be released until they have finished their portion for someone else. As an example, if you are doing troll sprites, you’ll have to do a set of sprites for another person (let’s say one of the writers!) before your own will be put into the game.
We will be announcing the first set of accepted participants on 4/13! However, as long as we have people willing to help put the friendsim together, we want to keep going with more fantrolls, so even if you’re not part of the first group, it doesn’t mean you’re out of it all together! The biggest limiting factor will be variety.
What about other fan friendsims?
They’re also awesome and you should support them too! This is not in any way mutually exclusive! Your fantroll can appear in one of them and here and anywhere else you please! We’re also happy to spread word and support of your personal fantroll friendsims if you have them! Just tag us or send an ask!
I have another question, or am confused by something.
Asks are open! <3
