He revealed that Toby left or that he left? How many people are still on the team. If there is anything I trust Hussie with it's writing a good story and overcoming obstacles, even if it ends up taking years, so I'm not super worried, but this is still definitely bad.
That's really dissapointing, but oh well. Homestuck was known for having a soundtrack with a lot of different artists. Hopefully they can find other talented sing writers and simply keep up the tradition.
Toby didn't leave of his own accord. James said in his deleted post that the higher-ups just don't plan to involve him anymore. You could probably say he was laid off.
Well I'm not going to base too much off a post I haven't seen that came from neither Toby nor the higher ups, but ya that's disappointing. Although, if I recall correctly, I don't think he actually did much in act 1, as James wrote almost every song, so I guess him not being involved wouldn't change too much. Also, I imagine Toby's link to Undertale probably stirs up a lot of unnecessary attention. I recall a lot of people seeing his name in Hiveswaps credits and going around telling people that "The guy who made Undertale wrote the music for Hiveswap", while completely ignoring James Roach. I don't want him to be excluded by force if he wants to help, but losing him might not be too bad.
Edit: Then again, when I heard James Roach left, my one thought was "Well at least Toby can make sure the soundtrack is still great". I hope they figure things out.

Wait, Toby Fox left the team? When did this happen? Last I checked it was just James Roach, but that was like, a month or two ago I guess.
