You can rip the assets directly from the game files using a variety of commonly-available RenPy tools, and we may eventually put out an asset pack, but this isn't a high priority given that the project is in a post-release state and is still a non-commercial project being maintained by a volunteer.
If you want to use any of our assets in a non-commercial project, feel free to do so with proper credit - you don't need to ask permission. If you wish to use our assets in a commercial or licensed project, please get in touch and we will facilitate contact with the appropriate parties.
While we are currently included under the omnibus license offered to FRAF projects, this doesn't change the core license for our original content, as all of our code and assets are either original or licensed under permissive licenses or creative commons.
As a reminder to anyone making fan content - all of our art assets are licensed under CC 4.0 non-commercial by attribution and all code is licensed under a combination of the MIT and CC 4.0 attribution licenses!
tl;dr - this means you can use our assets for fan projects with attribution!

Volume 14 brings our story to its close as we discover what began of MSPAR after the cliffhanger ending of Volume 13!
And our second soundtrack includes 33 awesome tracks from a variety of artists, including a few names you might just recognize!
4/13 will be an exciting double-feature from us this year as we release our *final volume* as well as the much-anticipated (we assume) second volume of our soundtrack! #Homestuck #Friendsim #Friendsim2 #Hiveswap #VisualNovel

Sorry, I think Doc Scratch is in a long-term relationship with the abstract concept of narrative contrivance
Since Bluesky increased videos to 3 min, let's do this!
See the conclusion of the long-running Friendsim 2 story in a month when we release our 14th and final volume on 4/13/25! #Homestuck #Hiveswap #HSBS #Friendsim #Friendsim2

A card of Boldir Lamati from Friendsim 2 with the following bullet points: -Closer to the truth than ever before! -Subsisting primarily off of Funyuns and video games -...but she's got a new hat!
Where's Boldir been this whole time? What's she been doing? And why does she have a new hat?!
Join us on the 3rd of January when our final trailer drops during the SAHCon New Years Showcase! #Homestuck #Friendsim #Friendsim2 #Hiveswap
Thanks - we'll update those!
And the phone system, which is a highly-refined version of the original Chittr idea!
Still one of the stupidest, most amazing things we've done for this game was the entire visual-novel-within-a-visual-novel bit, which includes a whole massive sub-plot and a bunch of fully playable arcade minigames! #VNDev #Homestuck #Hiveswap #Friendsim #Friendsim2
1.13a patch:
-The "blind spot" minigame is now skipped when playing on story-only difficulty
