The tl;dr is that this is a decision made on our part due to the complexity of our licensing arrangements with the numerous artists who worked on this project and the possible conflict with our CC 4.0 non-commercial licensing.

Important update regarding Friendsim 2 and the FRAF licensing agreement - we have chosen to withdraw from the agreement, details here: www.friendsim2.com#announcement #Homestuck #Friendsim #Friendsim2

You can rip the assets directly from the game files using a variety of commonly-available RenPy tools, and we may eventually put out an asset pack, but this isn't a high priority given that the project is in a post-release state and is still a non-commercial project being maintained by a volunteer.

If you want to use any of our assets in a non-commercial project, feel free to do so with proper credit - you don't need to ask permission. If you wish to use our assets in a commercial or licensed project, please get in touch and we will facilitate contact with the appropriate parties.

Still one of the stupidest, most amazing things we've done for this game was the entire visual-novel-within-a-visual-novel bit, which includes a whole massive sub-plot and a bunch of fully playable arcade minigames! #VNDev #Homestuck #Hiveswap #Friendsim #Friendsim2

Oddly enough, it does (for maximum Scratch-for-your-buck, you should definitely choose to walk away from your problems in the beginning and see the game's bad ending - yeah, like, the whole game's bad ending)

We'll be releasing volume 13 tomorrow, October 31st, just in time for Halloween! (is this a *scary* volume? I think that depends on how you feel about violet-blood war criminals) #Homestuck #Friendsim #Friendsim2

Due to some minor delays, our volume 13 release of Friendsim 2 will be pushed back about a week to the 31st of October. #Friendsim #Friendsim2 #Homestuck

Friendsim 2 @friendsim2.com · 20/10/2024

The list of people involved with this project is *way* too long for here, but there's folks from the Homestuck and Hiveswap fandoms, official team members both current and former, voice actors of the amateur and established professional variety, and so many more talented folks!

010

Friendsim 2 @friendsim2.com · 20/10/2024

The game is available for free, forever, on both Steam and Itchio! It features a full set of Steam achievements, fully voiced character dialogue, 30-40 hours worth of gameplay, and a whole second visual novel *within the first visual novel!* Grab us now on Steam and Itch - links on our profile!

Friendsim 2 is a work of love for the Homestuck fandom and dedication to the craft of visual novels - currently at 12 of 14 volumes (with volume 13 releasing soon), exploring what it means to exist in Alternian society and the consequences of the choices that everyone makes

Friendsim 2 @friendsim2.com · 20/10/2024

We follow the further adventures of MSPA Reader as they come back to Alternia intent on "saving" their friends, only to realize that it's been nearly five years and things have changed... and maybe things a bit more complicated than they first assumed!

Friendsim 2 @friendsim2.com · 20/10/2024

Time for a proper intro! The work of a team of writers, artists, musicians, and voice actors from all over the Homestuck fandom and beyond, Friendsim 2 is an unofficial sequel to Friendsim and Pesterquest that explores the consequences of those games! #Friendsim #Homestuck
