Welcome to Fall everyone! …Or Spring, if you’re Brazillian. What a ride this summer was, right? We here at DCRC had our fair share of excitement! Why don’t we talk about the ongoings of the comic as we approach the final stretch of this year!
THE SCENES HAVE BEEN SELECTED
After three years (can you believe it’s been three years?), the Scene Select has OFFICIALLY CONCLUDED. Yippee! Now, you can choose any scene at any time! Have you caught the many connections between each of our selections? Maybe give them all a reread, maybe in a different order! That’s the beauty of non-linearity!
Our next section is a White Noise featurette! Here, have a sneak peak of it, as a treat:
I wonder what’s gotten White Noise so upset! Perhaps you could find out over on our Patreon, where this and the following update are already live… No pressure, of course!
HERE COME SOME NEW CHALLENGERS!
To help with art for the comic, we have brought two new artists onto the team! We would like to welcome Eli (@sugerkain) and Lunaress (@stellarlunaress)! You’ll see their first contributions to the comic proper in the upcoming White Noise updates. We have enjoyed working with them so much and we hope you’re excited to see their art soon!
AN UPDATE ON THE VAST ERROR DISCORD
Finally, we have an update on the future of the Vast Error Discord server: On November 1st, we will be archiving all public channels, with the exception of the Vast Error / DCRC news and announcements channels, and the Patron-exclusive channel remaining active. For more information on the specifics, you can read our statement here. If you are a current user in our Discord, please give it a read.
That’s all we’ve got to share for now! Thank you again for the warm response to our return earlier this year! Keep your eyes out on the Discord or our socials for any additional news we might drop! Who knows what else we might have in store in the immediate future…
See ya!

WE’RE BACK: A VAST ERROR STORY
Howdy everyone! How have you all been? We’ve been doing just fine ourselves, thank you! It’s been about two months since 3/22, so let’s touch base, shall we?
RETURN OF THE COMIC
If you’ve been subscribed to our socials or are a member of our Discord, you’ve probably already known this. However, if you’re returning to the DCRC site for the first time in a while, let it be said: Vast Error is back! We have exited our year-long hiatus and we’ve returned to regular updates since 3/22! New updates go up every other Sunday - This will be our schedule for the foreseeable future! That being said, we have just concluded our Sova Scene Select! We hope you all enjoyed. This leaves us with just one Scene Select left: The Jack Noir Section! Get ready, because this final scene is jam PACKED. Here’s a sneak peak of what’s to come:
Over the last two months, we’ve frequently been live over on our Twitch page! On 3/22, we celebrated our 15th anniversary with a stream. Then, we’ve made a small series of playing Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream where we built the Vast Error cast on their own island! Thanks to the support of the community, the DCRC account has hit Affiliate status on Twitch! This means that Vast Error Twitch emotes are now REAL! We’ve already added a few there, so if you want to use VE emotes anywhere on Twitch, give us a follow or subscribe to us there! It’s just another way to support us and get something cool out of doing so.
If you’ve missed any of our streams or want to rewatch one to relive your favorite moments, we’ve started a VODs channel on Youtube! This is where we’ll be publishing our streams after they conclude. Our 15th Anniversary Stream is live over there now! Give this new channel a sub if you want to keep updated whenever we add a new livestream VOD there.
THE SHOP DON’T STOP
If you also weren’t aware, we’ve moved our store to the Fruity Rumpus Asshole Factory! We’ve got a few new and returning items up there already, but we’re working on bringing more fan favorites over AND actively designing new merch too! Maybe keep an eye out there in the next few weeks… Just a thought. ;)
Thank you all so much for your support as we’ve gotten back in the groove of things! The outcry of excitement we’ve seen from everyone since 3/22 has truly warmed our hearts. 2026 is looking bright for Vast Error, so stay tuned!
Until next time!

VAST ERROR VOL. 6 - OUT NOW!
Remember how a month ago, in our last news post, we said we'd have news to share with you all about new music soon? Here it is! Vast Error Vol. 6 is out NOW! 25 new tracks from our talented music team, each with illustrated track art from our fantastic track art team! The cover, as seen above, was done by @Polukhina! She volunteered for the daunting task of cover art, and we think she knocked it out of the ball park. That can be said of everyone who contributed! Thank you to everyone on the team who worked so hard to bring this to life!
How’s it going everyone? It’s been a bit since we’ve last spoken! I know we’ve been silent for a bit, but we are here now to discuss with you what’s been going on behind the scenes of Vast Error!
RE: THE COMIC
Progress on Vast Error is steady-going! We’ve been working throughout the year to create a solid backlog of comic to begin releasing once we’re ready! We’re wrapping up our first backlogged section, continuing to progress on our second section, and in the pre-planning stages of our third section! For your patience, please enjoy a non-spoilerly panel of a future update!
Vast Error will return in 2026. That’s a promise.
RE: MURRIT DATING SIM
Progress has also been slow but steady on our next visual novel, tentatively titled the “Murrit Dating Sim!” We are still in the process of writing all the ways you can date Murrit, but like any good probability, it will still take some more time for it to come to fruition. We are still so grateful for your support during our 2024 charity stream, so we want to create the best reward possible to the community for their generosity.
RE: THE MERCH STORE
We have made the hard decision to close our merchandise store for the time being. We know how much this community has enjoyed the merch we’ve produced thanks to our collective of talented artists. As such, this decision was not made lightly. However, I must iterate: 1) Any orders placed before October 26th, 2025 will be fulfilled - that is our guarantee. We simply ask for your patience as we distribute our remaining unfulfilled orders. 2) The merch store will return eventually. We are currently in discussion with potential partners to help us bring to you all new and exciting merch. Stay tuned!
That being said, if you are interested in the Thaumatrope: Syzygy Commentary PDF, where Thaumatrope creator Xamag showcases the behind-the-scenes of the first portion of the comic, it has been made available for purchase on our itch.io store!
RE: FRAF
DCRC has partnered with the Fruity Rumpus Asshole Factory! If you’re unaware, FRAF is a collection of Homestuck fan creators who have become officially licensed under the Homestuck umbrella! You may recall us receiving our own license by Andrew Hussie some time ago - This is the next step! As we’ve partnered with them, we have our own subforum for VE and its additional works on the FRAF forums, which you can find here! Consider joining, as 1) it’s another lovely place for everyone to interact with the community and the communities of other fan works, and 2) VE co-creator Austinado has an open Q&A post over there! Whatever silly questions you have for them, better ask them while you can!
RE: VAST ERROR MUSIC
Our last piece of news for today is we are in the midst of producing a new Vast Error album! You will be hearing more about it soon, but what I can let you know right now is that it will be out by the end of the year. If your ears simply can’t wait to hear what our musicians are cooking, well, we’d like to share some sneak peaks to satiate you! Music team member Rainy uploaded a preview of one of his tracks a while back, but here’s a newspost exclusive sneak peak of a track by autumnalEquinox!
Again, we really appreciate everyone’s patience as we continue to work hard and put our all into these projects. If you’re dying to know what’s going on behind-the-scenes, though, my personal recommendation would be to consider joining our Patreon! We’ve been very active there each month. By joining at our $6.12 / month tier, you can join the Vast Error Admins monthly for our Patreon Livestreams, where we show off what we’re working on for the comic. Regardless, we genuinely appreciate any and all the support you, the community, give us. It is a huge motivator. Thanks for reading, and happy holidays!

VAST ERROR IS NOW CANCELLED.
Now that I have your attention, Vast Error isn't ACTUALLY cancelled. The headline really got you going for a second there though, right?
There is, however, about to be a major shake-up on the VE front from today onward. So stop running around while screaming in distress like you're paid by the decibel and listen up!
Today, I am stepping down as Vast Error's creative director and head writer.
For some of you, this probably sounds like earth-shattering, heart-breaking news, so let me field some questions before you all get carried away:
WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?
There's no major reason! Well, okay. There is, but it's not some treasure trove of internal drama, anger, regret or fallout. I just personally feel like I've hit a majority of the points I've wanted to with the comics development as its co-creator.
But how? VE is doing better than ever! Last year we got accepted into the HICU, we raised $8.5k+ for charity, we've got some strong plot beats that are finally getting hit after years of build up; it's going great! You'd think ambition would continue to skyrocket!
And it was all very exciting! But for me, reaching those milestones made me feel content with halting the grind. In the months after, I could feel the infernal machine that made me eat, breathe and sleep VE finally start winding down. I learned so many skills and evolved so much as a creator, a director of many hats, a storyteller and even an artist! I'm ready to put those skills to work in a different environment.
It was a tough call, because I haven't outgrown or even fallen out of love with VE! I just feel like it's finally time for me to spread my wings, get out of Bart's shadow, and focus more on DCRC as an independent comics platform like with the upcoming reveal of PROJECT JUMP.
WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN WITH VAST ERROR?
The comic is going to be put on an short-to-medium pause (resetpause?) while we all take a breather and do some internal restructuring to work on a new pipeline with a collaborative backlog model for both panels and writing!
Heather is going to be spearheading the charge in my place, with Eddie continuing to work as editor-in-chief, and the team has already begun forming a new writer's room with both strong new additions and people that have contributed with writing in the Vast Error setting before.
Expect more details and other announcements about this soon!
WILL YOU STILL BE INVOLVED WITH VAST ERROR AT ALL?
Me and Heather are still going to handle drafting the rest of the major beats and making sure everything that gets put out fits our vision for the story. In that respect, you could think of me as the story's producer and creative consultant!
I also still intend to do writing for the comic! It'll just be on more of a "when I can" basis. I'm also doing the scenario for the Murrit Dating Sim, and continuing to headline the A3A1 Walkaround since it's already so deep into production!
Otherwise, I'm mostly going to take a backseat to what Heather and the rest of the team feel right to do with our outlines.
WILL ANYTHING ELSE BE AFFECTED?
Not really! This comic is, and always has been, a volunteer passion project. It's going to stay that way moving forward.
Making VE has been one of the most fulfilling experiences I've ever had. I cannot express just how grateful I am for all of the hours I've spent and working together with people I love in order to create a story that has, for all intents and purposes, made fan project history.
VE has never just been me, though. Even though I sat in the director's chair and made the final calls, I did the easy part. It was always the countless hours of dedication from our team that allowed a project that Heather and I cultivated as dorky teenagers to become something far greater than we could have possibly imagined.
DCRC and all of the opportunities I've been given literally would not exist without VE. I can't wait to see where it goes in the future, and I hope you all are excited to see where that future goes too.
It's scary diving into the unknown, but it's always better to take a chance at greatness than to never move at all.
Thank you all for everything you've given me for the last 14 years of my life.
