Also, those invested in what qualifies as "canon" when it comes to Homestuck lore may take interest in this test, which formally evaluates whether you are a Prospit or Derse Dreamer (involving a new term of art for the sake of this system, called Lunar Sway), as well as your Aspect. Make some cool new OCs? Discuss your new sign with friends? Cause great agitation and bewilderment among astrological purists? The sky's the limit. What do you do with this information? I don't know. The test uses a couple other personal classifiers from Homestuck lore to triangulate your True Sign designation from this dizzying barrage of iconography. Don't worry, the game roster isn't THAT out of control.) But why stop at just a static library of new signs when you could take the opportunity to reinvent astrology itself? So we made a large library of symbols to draw from when designing characters (A lot more symbols than characters. I envisioned an expansion like this a couple years ago, when it became clear that due to the large volume of NPCs in Hiveswap, many new troll symbols would have to be created. You may determine your True Sign by taking a test, if you wish. The resulting system is known as the Extended Zodiac. The zodiac has officially been extended to include 288 signs, instead of the meager assortment of 12 you are familiar with. Thanks again to all who continue to care enough about Homestuck to stop by and read this. They're taking everyone's remarks seriously. Any feedback you may have when it comes to the performance or presentation, feel free to contact the site team at VIZ. Again, this adaptation will continue to evolve and improve. My hope is you will see these changes as a net-positive, and perhaps can enjoy the work again in ways that weren't possible before (such as on your phone). (Incidentally, they'll also be releasing the full run of Homestuck in print as well, to complement the work online.) So the VIZ team and I are working together to preserve the original content while updating its delivery, but Homestuck's unusual format makes this a unique challenge. They print many classic manga series and get those books on shelves all over the world, thus keeping those series alive and widely read, well beyond their initial publication. VIZ Media is about as good as any organization I can think of when it comes to publishing long-running series, and preserving them for future readers. At some point, the right thing to do was always going to be figuring out how the stories hosted on it could persist long into the future. My intent for MSPA was never to have it last forever, or to concern myself with maintaining a labyrinthine, crudely-coded website for the rest of my life. More broadly than just converting Flash pages, this adaptation serves another purpose. So VIZ has been doing a major favor to the story, and fandom in general, by taking this on. Yes, I had been thinking about that, but as I said above, making those adjustments was always going to be an enormous undertaking. Over the last several years, I've noticed many wondering if Homestuck would ever compensate for the obsolescence of Flash, and its gradual inability to be viewed by browsers and mobile devices in coming years. Please be patient as the conversion process continues. The VIZ team has done great work in adjusting to all the challenges so far. Adapting such a work to a new, more broadly compatible format is a very big job. Homestuck is a huge story, with many different presentations and uses of media. This entire site is still a work in progress. Many of the video files are only temporary, and will be replaced in coming months, either with HTML-converted files, or higher quality videos. This has been done by converting Flash files into either an HTML-based format, or converting to a video file. Thanks to the VIZ Media team for porting all MSPA content over to, which now enables mobile viewing for all pages.
