Thank you for all supporting me and 3 Halves Games over the years. As some of you know, I recently got a job wherein I am unable to continue personal game development. I wrote some thoughts I had about how we got here. It might not be the easiest read: 3halvesgames.com Thank you for everything. 💚

A more recent composition for the game, this time for the intro cutscene of Sincerely, Stampy! Still a WIP demo, but I hope you enjoy it nonetheless. I felt really happy with this one, particularly with the outro effect I managed to get. youtu.be/aiwDEuWJnRc

An old demo track I made for Sincerely, Stampy, well before I knew what the name of the game would be, back when I was learning how to create music in Logic Pro. I still enjoy this track quite a bit and wanted to polish it further for a full game release. Please enjoy the listen!

Everybody go wishlist my friend's game! 🌟

Game jam where you submit two builds. First, a game based on a theme. Then, the jam announces patch notes, and your second build must make the patch notes applicable to your game, however challenging that may be.

Wake up honey, new #Steam store page beta just dropped 👏 store.steampowered.com/news/group/4... #indiedev #gamedev

the adult content bans spreading through the en-speaking sphere now have already "happened" as such in japan, with visa/mastercard putting pressure on jp sites like dlsite & melonbooks. many sites ended up stopping visa/mastercard payments entirely to keep the adult content on their sites up.

A personal message regarding the de-indexing and de-listing of adult-oriented games: Sincerely, Stampy was planned to include optional light adult nudity. It still is planned to do that. As a person, I have matured when it comes to these topics. I want to include them in this game, so I will.

Uno, but with mahjong terms. You must declare your tenpai when you have one card left.

24 hours left on the sale!

July's devlog for Sincerely, Stampy is now up! I spent a lot of the past month getting things ready, but very little of that was visual in nature. Still, development is moving forward, and I hope to show you all more cool things soon! 3halvesgames.com/a-month-of-b...

Anyway, I put Sovereign Tea on sale again, on @itch.io, which is the preferred way to support my work, as it has the best revshare with me, while also supporting a platform that benefits many other indies. Less than $5 for a 20-30 hour campaign experience: 3hg.itch.io/sovereign-tea

You don't need generation for placeholder art and models in games. It's supposed to look ugly and obviously incorrect. If your placeholders look too real, they will become real, and you may not want that to happen. The adage of "don't prematurely optimize" is applicable for more than just code.

I was asked recently about my views regarding people who mod indie single-player games to replace some characters with their own. This happened with my game where somebody swapped the Tea Princesses with their furry OCs. I don't mind it at all. It's like using custom pieces for Monopoly. Have fun!!

I updated my itch page to include a collection for every single game of ours in chronological release order, because I realized there was no place to see that. So now you can play everything we've made, in order, since we started back in 2015! I put it at the bottom of my homepage here: 3hg.itch.io

3 Halves Games made Please Defeat the Bundesclown for 20 second game jam, &I've probably played this one for a few hours. Easily. This game is so charming &funny. I don't want to spoil it.

Fanime is done! Thank you so much to everybody who showed up to my games panel on Sunday, and to everybody who said hi. I wish I could have met even more of you! Here's my favorite photo from the weekend. The world-lines merged.

Tomorrow, Sunday. 11am Pansls 2. Fanime. Let's talk about video game localization!! See you there?

Is it true that em-dashes are now frowned upon because of association with a certain generator? What about semicolons? I regularly use those in my writing and always have. You can look at Sovereign Tea for evidence of that if you need to. I would very much like to continue using em-dashes...

Thank you for 500 follows! And sorry for lack of game updates. I've been prepping for Fanime!

our fish kissing game!! 🐠🐟🐠🐟🐠🐟🐠🐟

Reposting fish content since it's popping off on itchio. I'm... still not sure how or why a game I made over a year ago got featured on the homepage, but I'll take it!

Did you like the music from our latest game, Kiss Three Fish? It's now on YouTube, along with other songs we made for our recent jam titles, including for Please Defeat the Bundesclown and Deadline Duo. Enjoy! 🐟 www.youtube.com/watch?v=ve8o...

That wraps it up!! I had a lot of fun spending hours poring through this stockbook, and I hope you enjoyed these images. If you like stamps and enjoyed this thread, please wishlist my upcoming game: Sincerely, Stampy! You play as a young stamp collector abducted by aliens. It's a labor of love!! 👽💚

I'm making an indie game where you collect stamps in space, so let's take a look at a real stamp stockbook and see just how cool philately really is! 🧵

Discovered somebody wrote a bunch of yandere headcanons for my characters back in 2022 and I'm howling. Wha?? Also thank you that's sick haha

I have increased the number of save files in my game from a max 3 to a max 99! The code side of it wasn't hard. In fact, the code side never cared for a max cap to begin with! The real challenge was figuring out a UI and UX I liked for presenting so many possible save files.

People who pay for a game on itch and then don't download it: First, thank you for your financial support. Second, I want to understand what's going on. Did you forget to download? What's going on? Why does this happen regularly? Are you okay?

I've been in a stamp-fueled daze since launching the Steam page. How about tomorrow (at a reasonable hour) I open up an old stamp stockbook we received and show off some cool philately? Look forward to it!

if you have an itch account, go to itch.io/library/thin... & you'll see things you've interacted with on itch but haven't yet rated! you can also see stuff you've already rated here along with your rating stats: itch.io/library/rated (here's me always rating & never reviewing... 😎)

As I wait for Sincerely, Stampy's store page to be approved, I decided to lose my mind by prototyping a combat simulator for a creature collector game. So I guess that's going to happen eventually? Maybe??

Me: submits game page for Steam review Steam: emails me saying my game is not eligible for June Next Fest Me: confused, did not submit game for June Next Fest Steam: emails me saying they sent me an email in error My game: still in the review queue 🙃 aaaaaaaAAAAA

A live look at me waiting for Steam to approve the store page for Sincerely, Stampy. Just sitting back. Waiting. And waiting...
