CHANGELOG · PUBLIC BUILD

We ship games. Then we ship notes about shipping games.

ThreeSided Games treats the studio site like a build artifact: loud patches, honest scars, and zero LinkedIn sincerity. You’re reading marketing. We wrote it like release notes anyway.

Hot build

One title gets the spotlight while the rest pretend they’re fine waiting in CI.

TV hosts. Phones snitch. Friendships pend.

Live on Amazon Appstore / Fire TV. Living-room party game where the TV is the stage, every phone is a controller, and SAVAGE keeps the room moving. Also works on the web for desktop hosts and remote players. Coming to iOS and other platforms soon.

Current roster

The shelf. Click a box. Ignore the CTA. Both are valid player choices.

// contributing.md (emotional edition)

Design principles

Four rules. Written like tickets so we can’t pretend we forgot them.

TSG-001

Ship the bit

If the joke and the feature disagree, the joke wins the sprint. Players can smell earnestness from a mile away.

TSG-002

WIP is a status, not a confession

Label unfinished work loudly. Hide nothing behind “coming soon” fog. Scar tissue converts better than polish theater.

TSG-003

Rooms over retention charts

Party games exist so people look at each other. If the phone wins the staring contest, we failed the build.

TSG-004

Fourth wall is load-bearing

We know this is a funnel. You know this is a funnel. Pretending otherwise is the only bug we hotfix on sight.

Known issues

Studio-level bugs. Some are features. Some are Tuesday.

  • #12high

    Dignity regression after v0.9.0

    Studio site openly admits it’s selling you something. Won’t fix. Conversion liked it.

  • #27medium

    Three-human bus factor

    Studio now fits in three chairs. Still one coffee pot. Mitigation: shared snacks.

  • #41low

    Parent brand keeps offering “strategy”

    threesided.com occasionally leaks professionalism into this repo. Quarantine via snark.

  • #58wontfix

    Players expect a Discord with vibes

    We have patch notes. Sit with that. Community managers cost soul points we don’t budget.
