Today's Wikipedia featured article is EXTREMELY relevant to Sincerely, Stampy. What are the chances?!

Alrighty! Made a plan on how to tackle the remaining assets needed for our Steam page. We're very close to ready for wishlists! I also planned the milestone after that, where the game will be ready to be handed off to external playtesters. Aaaa!

It's really coming together now! Have an early #screenshotsaturday for Sincerely, Stampy. Replacing placeholders with actual art is literally my favorite part of game development, because... look! Look at the details! Wow!!

Working on props for Sincerely, Stampy today with @gelatobear.bsky.social! Spent a bit iterating on the font for this wall scroll, but I think the end result is pretty good, even with the super crunchy 勢 hanzi. Do you recognize the text? 👀

I'm thinking about making a TV series where my first episode is named Pilot. Nobody's ever done this before. I'm a genius.

It's 1 o'clock in the morning. A cool breeze enters the room from the ajar window. A warm pot of baicha sits on the desk, waiting to be drank. A cat is sleeping on a desktop computer. Sitting in front of three monitors, a game developer relaxes as they slowly chip away at their passion project.

Wrapped up for the day! Thanks everybody who showed up to playtest Sincerely, Stampy! I'll be back at GDC on Friday (with an updated build!) so if you wanted to try things out let me know!

Last minute debugging live at GDC: 1. Discovered that inputs for "point" and "click" were sometimes conflated, leading to bizarrely lost inputs, sometimes 2. Fixed a bounds check issue on QHD monitors 3. Fixed wireless mouse dropping inputs by... changing its batteries That last one was a killer...

First round of playtesting at GDC done! Found some things to fix, which I am fixing now live, but if you wanted to meet up with me today, hit me up! I'm around!

Stayed up late prepping things for GDC tomorrow and in the process found... another bug. This one is just visual and easy to resolve if it happens, but annoying nonetheless. Maybe between meetings I can branch the project and try to fix it. Goodnight, and see you at GDC tomorrow!

More on the pre-GDC last-minute prep panic: I got disinfecting wipes and a USB mouse! I don't think players would very much enjoy using a trackpad, even though that is my preferred input method these days. The wipes are for between play sessions!

Not me finding a critical bug in the game the day before going to GDC... 💀 At least it seems easy to fix! Also, final call! If you wanted to meet me at GDC, and get a chance to play my latest game in a very early state, DM me to schedule stuff!

I've been thinking a lot about how to properly set the tone for Sincerely, Stampy. In Sovereign Tea, many people assumed the game was a no-plot fluffy Tea VS Coffee experience and not a war story between two groups of people who can never see eye-to-eye, reflecting my own experiences and trauma.

🀄 Had a very strong game in person tonight. Multiple oya mangan renchan, and ended it all on a tanki wait for a haneman with a hidden dora ankou. Final result: 72,000 Score with uma: +92.0 Not sure why, but the game has been rather kind to me this month.

TIL framerate of video uploads on bsky are capped. Tried to upload a fun 60fps visual glitch, but the upload cutting it to 30fps made it not fun to look at. Lesson learned for next time!

At some point next week I want to stream some indie games and demos! If you have suggestions, I'd love to hear them. I'm looking for smaller, shorter experiences. I may also stream my own game, too!

Taking a break from day job work and focusing on 3 Halves Games dev the past few months has been simultaneously harrowing and rewarding. I'm not at a point where I can do this full-time, but I think now more than ever before, I want to figure out how I can make that happen.
