"About a year ago Andrew approached me with the idea of finishing the HS^2 story, (which was originally just called Homestuck: Beyond Canon) and after a few months of kicking ideas around and finding the right team of people we're back baby."

"I've (Roach) handpicked a group of writers and artists I trust"

The team wasn't put together by Hussie, that is clearly false, his involvement seems to be very little, theres only a few key plot points he wanted left in (directly stated by the team several t imes), that being Hell Tier Vriska and Yiffy, with the former it was only conceptually, his original design is nothing like what they ended up going with, "Andrew’s original design notes for her in the outline said she would have red hair, blue skin, and look like an insanely demonic anime pirate lady."
