Key posts by Minna through the comments and on twitch

Guys
GUYS
Minna dropped teasers about a mini-comic she plans to do at some point!  It has ab-so-lutely NOTHING to do with SSSS or its characters at all.  The timing is still TBA, but not waiting until the whole SSSS story is finished - the characters are in the concept stage.
Her Twitch stream from 14 November discusses it, from about 1:03 into the stream.

And the OCs....

Spoiler: squeeee alert • show

That's right, rabbits.

Those are extremely cute!

Oh, the OCs are so cute!!! I may be misremembering, but I swear Minna said something once about writing a comic about bunnies going on adventures when she was a kid, I think in one of her youtube videos? Anyway, I'm guessing she wanted to try to rewrite it as a professional comic artist!

A story with anthropomorphic bunnies doesn't ring a bell for me, but then again, I don't follow the videos thoroughly. Bunnies in artwork, OK, lots of them. In terms of stories, I remember one with various anthros and one and a half with cats ...

It’s probably me getting a case of déjà-vu, LOL, since I can’t remember where (and if) I heard it.

Among other statements in today's stream, Minna confirmed that she is abandoning work on the City of Hunger game.
Reasons given included her decision to give up playing video games herself, using her time for 'something more productive', and no longer having a goal of making money from sale of the completed game.
RIP CoH

[Sevseres]

Aww, that’s sad. And there was already a lot of stuff done. The story looked really interesting too. Alas, it’s her decision. I wonder if she’ll wrap up what she has for an alpha release even though the game is abandoned...

[Róisín]

A pity, but Minna’s call. Still, there is always fanfic.....there are already excellent stories and art on the COH board, so perhaps we can finish the tale for her? Or she may come back one day and do it as a comic?

[Opaque]

I actually didn't hear about City of Hunger until I joined this forum. So, after she stopped working on it. I would have loved playing that game but... oh well. Although, "wasting time playing video games" seemed a bit harsh. It sounds like someone who is trying too hard to sound like an adult. If she wants to stop playing them that's fine but they're definitely not any more a waist of time than other entertainment like reading.
But... oh well...

Just to keep a running count: As other people have noted, the CoH blog has been completely erased, although most of it is archived in the Wayback Machine and somebody's saved all of the lovely artwork in a Google Drive folder (see this thread for miscellaneous links: https://ssssforum.com/index.php?topic=1177.0).

Also, if anybody is wondering about future SSSS volumes, Minna has said in her most recent Twitch stream that as long as Hiveworks want to keep publishing them, she'll keep putting them together to be published. I know some are interested in that information, some might not be (I personally am -- not having a complete set of any book series drives me nuts). Just presenting it here as a 'for the record'.

I was wondering about that, thank you!

I'm torn at this point, though. If I'd known at the time of the last Kickstarter what was about to happen in the community, I honestly wouldn't have given Minna any of my money. I dropped money for Books 1 - 3 in hardcover. I'm a completionist so if Hiveworks does end up printing SSSS right to whatever end happens, I'm really torn now between completing the story ... and putting more money in Minna's pocket.

It's a dilemma.

I think I'm just going to get book 4 so Adventure 1 is complete, and then settle for having Adventure 2 in digital form only. I feel you on wanting a complete set, and Adventure 1 is a complete story in of itself.

It's mentioned elsewhere (sorry I don't remember what thread!) that it's not gone, she just reorganized things to show off LP and the CoH blog got orphaned as a result. So she hasn't entirely destroyed all that work (yet), but there's no link to click to reach it. I imagine someone far more clever than I am would be able to find it in a trice.

I hear you on having books 1-3 and feeling conflicted about wanting the complete set... why does my brain work this way??  :'D

[Jitter]

Frankly I don’t believe A2 will ever become printed books, because that would be years from now and it doesn’t seem likely the fandom will remain of economically feasible size for such a long time after the updates have stopped. If the new work manages to keep a sizable portion of the current fanbase, then perhaps, but I’m not counting on that!

She was saying something about the future work in the stream as well, but I didn’t get that.

They've figured out how to access it in the City of Hunger board if you're looking for links.
