Homestuck: The Murder Game (Input, Criticism and Art possibly needed!)

[actorsAllusion]

Hey, actorsAllusion here. A friend of mine, gaurdianCastiel, wrote this pretty awesome little bit of fanfic a long time ago, and then attempted to turn it into a fully voiced visual novel type project. Here is his message on the subject:

Uh, hey guys! } I'm guardiancastiel, i wrote this fanfic around september-octoberish of 2011, before cascade. it was my first attempt at a (completed) fanfic. This is basically a murder mystery. John and his group of friends scratched the session and find themselves in a timeline where they are all together on Earth. Jade, however, has visions from her dreams that point her to an abandoned Betty Crocker factory. Supposedly, the original sburb game disks can be found there, and must be destroyed if they want to continue living in this peaceful timeline.

As stated before, this is my first completed fanfic, sort of. I got people to voice it since december, but all that's needed are some edits, background images, and sprites for all the characters. if there's anyone that's willing to do those, i'd really appreciate it. i was originally going to wait until i did it myself but things have been getting in the way for me to actually complete them.

So, I'm tired of waiting for things to clear up on my end, and it's making me feel guilty to have all this work from other people put into it and not getting the recognition they deserve, so i'm going to finally put it up on here. It's not completely finished, so if you guys have any constructive criticsm, or can offer any help or anything, i'd be really thankful. i hope you guys enjoy the story, and it'd make me happy to see what you guys think of it. Here's the link to get it for those who have windows.

Aaahhh, yes!! I would love to see this get a lot more recognition. gC's Murder Game is really great, and it is a TON of fun to try and figure out who the culprits were. :3 He's done a fantastic job on the story, and has put soooo much hard work into it.

And our voice troupe rocks. xD :'D

Voice acting has improved, mics have improved, takes on characters have changed. In some ways it's sort of still a work in progress, but that's what critique is for!

Incidentally, for those of you wondering. The Unfinished nature of The Murder Game is only in terms of improving the Voice Acting, and adding art assets to the Game. The story itself is finished and completely solvable, although it will take some crack sluething to find out who the culprits are.

And trying to figure it out and crack the case is a blast. It has such an excellent storyline, and the mystery is fantastic.
