I finished writing a script yesterday. As I was looking at the sprites I also finished drawing a while back, I realized that I retconned the character's hair color.

I guess I need to go back into the script and find the parts where I mention her hair color, haha.

I should just sell some of these outlines and character designs.

main interface for A Festive Flock, 4 solid color silhouette sprites and one revealed sprite of a bipedal crow wearing a red sweater and grey skirt whole holding a wine glass, all standing in a row in front of a lit fireplace with red stockings on the mantle

From Ari "Yaaaayyyy" From Benji "tis the season" From the player "Happy Holidays everyone!" From Ari "GL with the family lol" From the player "It's going to be fine... I think."

I want to pass my days idly...

I yearn to write stories where characters yap forever, but what actually comes out of my keyboard is...

"The day passed idly."

Lol.

Go, girls.

Do absolutely nothing.

Drawing of a guy in turtleneck sweater writing on paper. Sitting next to him is a dog named Lucky from Animal Crossing in bandages and sweater and beanie.

It's my birthday today (11/4) so if you can wishlist my game DESOPE (maybe tell your fellas too) that'd be stupid fire. Unless you have already then that's extra fire

Picture not related, except Lucky (it's his birthday too)

Deeply feeling the temptation to make acrylic standees of the girls from my games after buying a lot of merch on vacation (even if it's just to make a shrine for myself, haha)

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. 💚

please see my vision of towa (based on that abs post)
