''Homestrife 4/13: 2x Incipisphere Combo (Fate of Two Sessions),'' often shortened to ''Homestrife'', is a currently in-devlopment FreeFloorFighting game with characters from the webcomic {{Webcomic/Homestuck}} as its playable roster. It was started by MSPA forumer Callan "frozenMeatpopsicle" Bencich, who is the project director, art director, and lead animator. Fellow forumer Jonathan "Darlos9D" Royal programmed the entire SDL-based game engine, along with a character creator.

According to Bencich, the gameplay will be "mainly based on Super Smash Bros, but we'll be injecting it with mechanics from more traditional fighters, like Street Fighter, Marvel VS Capcom and Blazblue, to attempt to make a deep, technical fighter that even high level players can appreciate and enjoy." Controls are based around two attack buttons (light and heavy), a jump and a block button, and directional input from an analog stick/arrow keys. Life and Special meters are assigned to each player.

* ShoutOut: Besides canon palettes for different outfits, each character will also have palette swaps that make them look like characters from other media. John has outfits that make him look like [[VideoGame/GhostTrick Sissel,]] [[TheJoker Joker,]] and a member of the Franchise/{{Ghostbusters}}.

Pre-Alpha 2.6 includes John with all light moves, one heavy move, and one projectile, local two-player, a basic menu, some hilarious voice clips, and most importantly full playability and matches. It can be downloaded [[http://homestrifegame.com/media/ here]], along with the older tech demos and a tool for making your own palettes. The full version will include a roster of twenty characters (the 4 original kids, the 12 original trolls, Doc Scratch, Bec Noir, AndrewHussie himself, and a super-secret character) as well as online multiplayer and several other gameplay modes. The first official beta release (which is the dev team's current goal) will include John, Rose, Karkat, and Vriska, along with stages based on LOWAS, Webcomic/SweetBroAndHellaJeff, and Equius Zahhak's robot cage.

* DreamMatchGame: Not only will the final release include 20 characters from all across the canon, planned DLC releases along with a pubilc release of the character editor could make this as dreamy as {{MUGEN}}.

Tech Demo 2.5 includes John with all light moves, one heavy move, and one projectile, local two-player, a basic menu, and most importantly full playability and matches. It can be downloaded [[http://homestrifegame.com/media/ here]], along with the older tech demos and a tool for making your own palettes.

* SuperArmor: Many characters will have this, especially tankier ones like John and Equius.

* LifeMeter: Each character will have one, being the first major departure from Smash-style gameplay. Each character will also have a ManaMeter with mechanics exlcusive to each of them. For example, John's "Mangrit" meter (tenative idea) will fill up significantly when he uses might-based attacks, like with his hammer.

* StageFatality: Some stages (like Robot Cage) have none, but some (the Sweet Bro/Hella Jeff stage) will have many.

The second tech demo, which includes movement, blocking, local two-player, a Land Of Wind And Shade stage, and almost all light normals for John Egbert's character, can be downloaded [[http://homestrifegame.com/media/ here]], along with the older tech demos and a tool for making your own palettes. The full version will include a roster of twenty characters (the 4 original kids, the 12 original trolls, Doc Scratch, Bec Noir, AndrewHussie himself, and a super-secret character) as well as online multiplayer and several other gameplay modes.
