Homestuck
On April 13, 2009, Andrew launched Homestuck.
This webcomic follows four teenagers who unwittingly bring about the end of the world by installing a copy of a computer game that inadvertently triggers the apocalypse.
Homestuck uses a combination of instant message logs, animated GIFs, and static images. It is the longest adventure, with over 8,000 pages and more than 800,000 words.
”The way the story worked was, I set up some basics and a few initial conditions, readers gave feedback — ‘commands’ — I updated the story very rapidly in response, and it just goes where it goes,” Hussie said about Homestuck.

”Everything I did before Homestuck was unspeakable garbage,” he told Comics Beat. Andrew added: ”Homestuck sort of is too, but it’s the one thing where I started harnessing my garbage-making tendencies into a more constructive and organized direction.”
On September 4, 2012, he announced a Kickstarter to raise funds to develop the Homestuck adventure video game. The Kickstarter campaign raised $2,485,506. The set goal of $700,000 was reached within less than two days of donations opening up. The game is now called ”Hiveswap.”
On April 13, 2014, Paradox Space, an anthology spin-off webcomic, was launched.

On April 13, 2019, The Homestuck Epilogues was released.
Homestuck 2
