Community Updates

Hello, everyone. How are you enjoying the new wiki? While it's still a work in progress, this thing is finally beginning to be able to stand on its own.

For those who are unaware, the original Johnisdead Wiki was hosted on Fandom, much like various other Within Hubris related Wikis. If you're feeling nostalgic, there's actually a page on this Wiki covering that Wiki, which you can read here. Talk about meta. If you're still feeling sentimental, the original versions of all the timelines are linked on the Timelines page, where you can relive the events of Johnisdead in their original, messily archived format. We're hoping to fully archive other classic Johnisdead-related things like this in the future.

Speaking of timelines, the current timeline is completely caught up. The Our Horizon Arc is so large that it has now been split into three separate parts. Now that it's caught up, however, we've finally been able to start focusing on other pages around the Wiki. Just recently, the Letschasethemouse and YSHDT.com pages have been completed. In the meantime, we've been slowly filling out the Video pages, as well as the Story page. There's lots of work that needs to be done, so please bear with us while we power up this Wiki.
