I have returned! Sorry to say that it took me until now to reinstall the program and take a look at Intermission 2 and the chapter of the journal afterward. Wonderful stuff, kudos on the messager look for I-2's conversation especially! After clearing out some space on my computer, the program that is used to update the game seems to be working too. I hope this project is still going strong and that I can see another installment in the foreseeable future!
Even now, I dip back in and out when I can - been wondering about the possibility of a Steam release?
Couldn't help but think about it, since I was able to add other Homestuck fan games like the Genesis Project, FriendSim 2, and Felt Mansion to my library, and it seems a shame that Befriendus seems separated in a way. Though of course I realize more substantial upd8s would be a higher priority.
