Andrew Hussie

Andrew Hussie is best known as the creator of Homestuck, a multimedia webcomic presented in the style of a text-based graphical adventure game, as well as other works in a similar style that were hosted on his website MS Paint Adventures. Andrew Hussie began posting Jailbreak in 2006. This was posted on a discussion forum and took the appearance of a text-based graphical adventure game. Hussie would post simple drawings with text, and other forum users suggesting commands for the game that Hussie would quickly respond to with a rapidly drawn image. In 2007, Hussie created the website MS Paint Adventures to host his comics; its first three works were Jailbreak, Bard Quest, and Problem Sleuth. Problem Sleuth would run for over 1,600 pages produced over one year, and during this time Hussie was creating up to 10 pages a day. Hussie then produced the multimedia webcomic Homestuck, which started in April 2009 and ended in April 2016. It tells the story of a group of four kids who play a computer game called Sburb and inadvertently cause the end of the world.
