ABOUT US

3 Seasons was developed by a sibling team of 3 women of colour during OtomeJam 2022. We wrote, programmed, produced the art/gui and composed the music for this game ourselves in 2 months. Aside from programming resources + sound effects, this was a self-produced work of love! It's also our first game under our studio, Hamilton Hour.

Briar route WHEN???? like- as much as I love the others, Briar is pretty cool too! I'd love to see more of all four of them. (No pressure, but I REALLY want to see more of Briar lol).  Can't wait to see if there's going to be any big updates!

we ask ourselves that every day LOL 

Thank you for the Briar love!!! He's definitely getting his route (as well as content for the others) but it's taken us a bit longer than we hoped. Still, it's in the works and we'll be updating our devlogs here and on our tumblr with our progress :) Thank you for your support! 

(+1)

Hii! I was just wondering, is there a confirmed date of when the DLC will be released?  I'm super excited, but just want to know at least an estimated time :)

Hello! We decided not to set a concrete release date for now until we have some more progress done (which we'll be working on regularly this year and posting on our socials), because last time we gave release windows we hoped to meet but couldn't and it was really disheartening. We posted a little devlog update explaining more about this if you're interested! But we're still deeply committed to finishing the extra content, the sooner the better so we can move on to other games :D Thank you for your support!

(+1)

Just finished the whole game and... I... NEED.... MOREEE

It was amazing from the story to the art and the little mini games put in between. The characters are really different and unique in their own way and style. The story is so wholesome, chill and warm. I caught myself smiling from the little interactions like every two minutes. 

I'M SO WAITING FOR THE DLC YOU CAN'T IMAGINE.... I've always wanted to play such an adorable otome. And you can't even IMAGINE how I'm looking forward to Briar's route and the new world details and art!!! AAAAAAAAMDJDKZNDKSKZKNFKSMDL 

Your work is really amazing, can't wait to read, play and see more of it! <3

Thank you so much for your kind words!! I can't put into words how much we appreciate it ♥ Hearing anyone say they've always wanted to play a game like ours really reaffirms why we make them!

We're deeply motivated to give Briar his route and add more content to our little game!! ty for your support!

(+1)

I just downloaded and finished the Yuto route AND I NEED MORE OF HIM, PLEASE, I'M IN LOVE (⁠ᗒ⁠ᗩ⁠ᗕ⁠)

Thank you!!! We're so glad you enjoyed it :D there will be extra Yuto content when we release our free +1 DLC!

YEEEEEEEEEES YES ABSOLUTELY YES. Sorry, I got a little too excited. I'll definitely will be playing.

(+1)

This game looks awesome

(+1)

Thank you!

(+3)

Such a comfy game. Love the option to pursue a romantic or platonic route with each spirit- really makes them a little more "human" despite their nature lol. The designs of the characters and their offices are so beautiful! My favourite will have to be Rye's (I'm heavily biased towards warm tones) and immediately chose him for how relaxed and artsy he is.  Ivy is soooo pretty I kept gawking whenever she was on screen. One mishap may be how some of the sparkling magic kind of "glitches" (more like delays a little) but it did not take away from my experience. Overall, super good! 

Ahh thank you so much for your kind words! ♥ We appreciate them immensely. 


Also thank you for flagging the magic delay glitch, not sure what's causing that but we'll take a look when we go back for the cleanup pass when we release our DLC.  

(+3)

absolutely incredible. as soon as i read the info about the game and each character i knew i'd end up loving it haha, yuto was my pick from the beginning.

thank you so much for the effort you put into developing such a cute and entertaining game! keep up the good work <333

Thank you so much!! Yuto would blush just to hear that hehe

We appreciate your kind words & support!

(+3)

I want to play it now, it looks great, but I'll wait (3 Seasons +1)

Good luck with your work^0^

Thank you so much for your support! We appreciate it. 

(+3)

A very sweet game. Though it's on the shorter side, it was very enjoyable. Looking forward to the DLC :)

Thank you for your support!! It's been some time but we're still committed to making the DLC! We hope you enjoy it when it's done <3

(+4)

just finished all 3 (romantic) routes and had a great time!! each route, though short, was very sweet and they were all a real joy to play through + the art is beautiful! the little minigames were a nice touch, too :o)

Excuse the very belated reply!
Thank you so much for your kind words, we really appreciate them! ♥️ 

(+3)

Waiting for my bbg BRIAR\( ̄︶ ̄*\))

(+1)

Excuse the very belated reply, we've been procrastinating on responding;;
Just want to say thank you and we're sorry it's taking so long hahaha, he's on his way!! we're still working to give him his route.

(+1)

I Love the game i replay it 20 times <3 

I was wondering that its my computer or in the 'end' its writted in spanish.

(+1)

20 times! We are so flattered, thank you!! Glad you have enjoyed it so much :D

"Fin" is a common way to end stories/plays/movies so we used it to be fancy rather than just saying "The End" in english hahah.

(+3)

Hi, I was wondering how the development of the “3 Seasons +1” update is going? ☺️ Thanks for your hard work! ♥️ 

(+5)

Hello and thank you for your comment!! It's always motivating to know people are looking forward to the update. We have admittedly been swamped in real-life commitments (work, and our youngest member just finished the last few months of high school which were stressful) so progress has been slow, but the update is always in the back of our minds and we're trying to aim for a summer release at this point! 

(+1)

Thank you for your reply! It's always important to prioritize your own well-being, so I hope you don't push yourselves too much! I'm looking forward to the update! 😊♥️

(+1)

Thank you! We appreciate that :D

Does this game have a walkthrough or not need one to get good endings easily?

(+1)

Hello!
There's no walkthrough needed :D  There are 2 endings for each love interest; a romance ending and a friendship ending. Basically for the first half of the game, you can either flirt (these answers are marked with a heart) or give regular answers. In the second half of the game, based on whether you chose flirty options or not, you'll be put on the romance or friend path. Both endings provide the same opportunities to interact, they just play out differently. 

If there's no heart indicator on either of the dialogue choices, that means it just influences the next dialogue or the next scenario without affecting your romance chances with the love interest, so feel free to pick whichever!

Hope this helps! 

thanks so much!

You're very welcome! We hope you enjoy the game :D 

Just played and finished winter route loved it just wish there was a ending cg !

(1 edit)

glad you liked it!! sadly with the jam timeframe (~2 months) and me being the sole artist (as well as the writer lol) there just wasn't enough time! Hoping to add CGs to every route in our update though.

(+1)

I  loved this sm!!!!!!!!(The detailed  game mechanics of working on the 'tasks' and signing the contract was a great touch!) I am secretly hoping for a Briar routeeee<3

(+1)

Thank you!! Our programmer likes to add in details wherever she can, we're glad it paid off :D  Briar's route is on the way! 

(3 edits)

Eu adorei cada minuto jogando!!!! Eu joguei as três rotas e preciso dizer que a rota do Rye e Yuto foram as minhas preferidas! Rye é um romântico incurável e direto (foi muito adorável a cena da chuva), por mais que ele provoque a MC, ele não poupa elogios para ela, além disso, Rye é tão estiloso e muito lindo 😫. A personalidade do Yuto me conquistou, não tinha grandes expectativas, porém fiquei derretida pelo Yuto, ele faria de tudo pela MC, QUE HOMEM! E falando sobre o Sol, eu esperava mais da rota dele, foi fofa, mas a rota dele parecia ser um pouco mais rápida?       

Seria muito legal se houvesse um spin off sobre como está o atual relacionamento deles :)                 Enfim, eu amei o enredo do jogo, a trilha musical (que combinou muito com cada rota e momento) e o traço dos personagens!!!! Parabéns a equipe que desenvolveu!♥️🇧🇷

Atenção: POR FAVOR,  eu PRECISO da rota do BRIAR!!!! 4 Seasons!!!

Muito obrigado pelo seu adorável comentário! Estou traduzindo isso com o google, então espero que faça sentido ♥ ficamos muito felizes em ler seus pensamentos sobre todas as rotas e os meninos! como Sol é um pouco alheio, houve menos momentos românticos com ele, mas esperamos adicionar mais no conteúdo DLC! ;)

todo o conteúdo DLC será para datas após o relacionamento deles ter sido estabelecido :D estamos felizes que você também gostou da música!! nosso compositor pensou muito nos temas da temporada.

Obrigado!!! ♥♥♥ Briar está chegando!

This was really cute! I loved Yuto, Rye and Sol so much that I can't pick a favorite, and both the platonic and romantic endings were equally sweet and satisfying.

Apologies for the delayed reply and thank you so much for your comment! We're so glad you enjoyed all the routes and the endings ♥

I just finished playing all the routes and OMG...THEY WERE ALL CUTE! I really thought after playing Rye's route, I wouldn't like them as much as I like Rye but I WAS WRONG! I also loved the MCs outfit when she went to their realm she looks so cute!! 

(+2)

Thank you so much!!! So glad to hear you enjoyed all of them; we know Rye is a lot to live up to hehehe but we love all our boys equally ♥ (and thank you!!! re: MC's outfit)

We have extra dates for them planned as well as a route for Briar in a spring update if you ever want to see how he stacks up to the others :D

Yeah, I'm curious about Briar as well can't wait for his route 🤭

(+1)

Absolutely loved playing this game. It's short but that doesn't make it any less enjoyable. All 3 of the LIs are super sweet and I thoroughly enjoyed playing through each of their routes!! I adored Yuto's cute reactions and Rye is just... everything.,...

Thank you so much!! "Rye is just... everything.,..." this is truly the best testimonial LOL I want to print and frame it

We live for poking Yuto into cute reactions ♥

(1 edit) (+1)

Oh my gosh, Yuto is my soulmate, haha. xD  Since I had so much fun, I went back to play the other routes and Sol was straight up like "You sure?  I thought you would've preferred Yuto." !!! xD  Called OUT! (I mean, maybe that's what he always says, but...>.>  Still made me laugh!)

We're so glad you enjoyed it! Honestly we would've loved to have some meta-references between routes but it was our first team game and our first game with routes so that kind of complexity was out of our range for a gamejam project hahah!! 

I loved this game!! Although..I'm not really fond of it showing Ivy whenever we checked ourselves out in the mirror..eheh..^^; I still enjoyed it nevertheless!

(+3)

Thank you and we're glad you enjoyed it! ♥ While we appreciate that many players self-insert and we include name/pronoun customization to make things more inclusive/comfy for players in that regard, our MC isn't fully customizable in the sense that she still has a 'canonical' appearance as a femme black woman--as developers from this demographic we noted a disappointing lack of representation when it came to default characters that looked like us in otome games. So the MC we chose was deliberate in this case to add visible rep, especially for the players who don't self-insert and choose to play the 'set' protagonist. Hope this clarifies our reasoning a bit! 

Ah, Sorry but I wasn't talking about the representation..I was just talking about the gender. So sorry again, sincerst apologies for the late reply..

Such a cute game! Really fun and sweet. I like the boys a lot, and the dates were all super cute! The MC is also fantastic, she is relatable and adorable.

I liked that there were both friendship and romance ends, and that the friendship ends were just as cute and satisfying as the romance ones. The writing in general was solid, and I liked the world building and characterization. The art is amazing - the character design especially is fantastic, as are the office designs (can I live in the spring office forever?)

Rye is absolutely best boy, but everyone is super cute, and I am really looking forward to Briar's route!

I played this on Android and it worked great!

(+1)

Thank you so much for your thoughtful and sweet comment!! We put a lot of care into so many of these aspects so it's always lovely when people point them out ♥

as someone who shouldn't pick favourites... rye is definitely best boy heheh  

We look forward to putting out Briar's route next year! 

Also great to hear there were no issues with our mobile build!

(+1)

I love it! Plus, the art style is really gorgeous too! 😭💕 My personal favorite is Sol btw (⁠ ⁠ꈍ⁠ᴗ⁠ꈍ⁠)♡

Thank you so much! ♥  you really can't go wrong with Sol \(≧▽≦)/

This was very cute and made me smile several times :) I'll definitely keep an eye out for updates in the future, good luck! 

Thank you for your lovely comment! We're thrilled we could bring you some enjoyment through our game ♥

<3

I also saw a comment saying they disliked seeing Ivy whenever a mirror scene happened. I just wanted to say I liked seeing Ivy, especially for different outfits and hairstyles.

(+1)

Such a wonderful comfort game for me. So nice and cozy. And the minigames - very nice touch! I believe that minigames make everything better. Oh, and on a personal note - I LOVE Rye's sweater!

(+1)

Thank you so much!! We're glad you enjoyed it (and Rye's sweater ♥) and our programmer agrees hahaha, we love minigames! 

(+3)

soo cute MC is so pretty

Thank you!!! ♥ 

(+2)

Love this game v cute and heartwarming ! Excited to see Brair's route when it comes out !!

(+2)

Thank you so much for your comment and apologies for the late reply! We've been busy with school & work and eager to get started on Briar's development when we get a bit of a break :) Glad to hear you enjoyed the game! ♥

Such a cute and cozy game! I really liked the overall concept and would love to see y'all develop it into a longer game. The glimpses of the world of the spirits and how they interact with Ivy's world was really cool. Rye is my favorite for his flirty teasing and booknerding, though I loved all three boys. I am also looking forward to that imp, Briar. <3

(+2)

Sorry for the belated reply! Thank you so much! ♥ We have thought about revisiting the existing routes to see how we can add more content but it's most likely that we would add a post-story episode for each rather than expanding the game itself out; we're pretty happy with the story flow that results from the short time window MC has in the existing story. 

Thank you for the feedback though, it's heartening to hear that people want to spend more time with our boys, it's a sentiment we also share hahaha (esp Rye but don't tell anyone I said that... hahahha....)

Looking forward to releasing Briar's route as well :)

(+1)

This is such a cute light-hearted game!! The little mini games are super fun, and the art is gorgeous. Every boy is so sweet in his own way. Overall really enjoyed it (and looking forward to that extra secret route)!

thank you for the hard work dear devs!!

(+1)

Thank you so much for your kind words and sorry for the late reply!  We're glad to hear you enjoyed the game ♥

Im seriously waiting for Briar  xD I wonder if he's the 4th hihi

Yep, he's the 4th 😄 we're excited to add him!

(+1)

I love this game, it's so cozy. I wanna date Briar too, will they be added?

Thank you so much, we're so happy to hear you liked it! And yes we have plans to add Briar in a small DLC with some other  updates 😊

(+2)

ivy route when? LOL shes so pretty! <3

If anyone deserves a route it's Ivy hahah!!! Thank you! <3 

How do i rate the game? I pressed more information but dont see the option to

(1 edit)

Hi there! Sorry we had the instructions totally wrong for rating LOL, the rating feature actually shows up in the top right corner of this game page (where it says "add to collection" and "submission to otomejam") there should be an option that says "Rate this game". Hope that helps! 

(+4)

This game was so cute and sweet; I loved it! The romance between the MC and the LIs felt natural despite the short time they spent together. And speaking of the LIs, they were all super charming. It's honestly hard for me to choose a favorite! Also, I just want to say that I really love the character designs. Sometimes I just had to stop and stare at them for a bit while playing lol. 

(P.S. I'm definitely interested in a route for Briar 👀 His design is totally up my alley and so is his personality. It'd be interesting to see how a romance between him and the MC would go down.)

(+3)

Thank you! We really appreciate your kind comments. 

We would definitely love to bring Briar's route to the game, we've been itching to show him off for so long. It's only a matter of time! 

(1 edit) (+1)

soo cute!! MC is so pretty, and so are the LIs:) i had fun, ty for sharing!

(+1)

Thank you for playing! We're happy to hear you enjoyed it :D 

(+1)

Yo, so I gushed over this enough on discord that you know I'm a massive fan.

Of ALL OF THEM.

Okay so started with Yuto and I'm happy to say he's still my favourite husbando. Rye is my precious baby and Sol's a precious ninny but yes, grumpo is my baby. All of them healthy and wholesome af!!!

The mini-games were absolutely delicious (I'm super impressed from a development standpoint) and I'm in awe that you managed to achieve so much in so little time. The GUI, the sprites, the music, the backgrounds - oh the backgrounds, my dude, the backgrounds are perfection and I want them to come decorate my home??? - the story, all of it felt deliciously warm and happy and just.... perfection. 

Character designs super unique, legit want to borrow clothes from them because they're so stylish and urgh that jackeetttt. 

Anyway, it's the kind of game that skips the queue straight into to your heart without passing go and nestles in there forever. Just. Sucker just made itself comfortable with a cosy sweater and a cup of tea 'cause it knows it's there to stay.

BRIAR tho. Like. How dare you keep him from us, when he's such a selfish asswipe. Everything in me is yelling "no, but he's a douchewag, please let me have him, I'll fix him" which honestly makes me real pleased you kept him from me.

Aw thank you again for playing and enjoying our game and for your kind comments! It was a lot of work and it's awesome to hear it paid off when people point out everything.

We look forward to unleashing Briar in all his reckless, annoying glory at some point... but let me just warn you he uh, he can't be fixed LMAO. He's still loveable regardless !

(1 edit) (+3)

I have only played one route so far, Rye's, but I think it's really good! Even with such a time span for their romance, it somehow didn't feel super rushed? They acknowledged the short time, and I could believe their affections.
Next I plan to play Sol's, he seems awesome as well~

Almost forgot to say, but I LOVE the character designs. You can absolutely tell what season they represent, and they're all so distinct. Rye's butterfly jacket is marvelous, and I love Sol's tattoos, as well as Yuto's whole outfit. And let's not forget about the gorgeous MC. Truly excellent designs!

Thank you!! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed Rye's route. It was definitely a challenge to make due with such a short time frame for every romance and still make it believable and we're glad it was believable!

And thank you, the designs were my personal favourite part of the process :D condensing seasons into fashion was a lot of fun

(+2)

Such a sweet game!! Something about it is very comforting. I loved all three of the guys <3 (Mystery Guy #4's design was lovely as well btw!)

Would be happy to see more of them any day <3

Thank you so much! We'd certainly love to revisit them :D (including #4... we're glad to hear his design made a good impression!) 

(+3)

I just... wanted to thank you for making their sprites blush UP TO THEIR EARS, THIS IS FAR TOO CUTE (and I wish more otomes had that). :")

(+1)

aw thank you!! I wish more games had it too, I always find it so cute on LIs! 

Hi was having trouble playing the game on a linux system and was wondering how to launch it?

Hi there, unfortunately I can't test it on any linux systems so I'm not able to directly troubleshoot for you, but my understanding is that you would launch the .sh file after you extract the game.

Extract [the game] and then double-click on any additional directory it might have created. You’ll find a .sh file inside, which is a shell script. You can either execute this from the command line by issuing /path/to/directory/shell.sh with the path being replaced by the location and name of the file, or by double-clicking it in a Linux file manager. If double-clicking it gives you a code listing, then right-click on the file, select Permissions and then make sure the “Execute: Only Owner” function is selected before trying again.

This is from this help page here.

That being said, we updated to Renp'y 8.0 when we published this build, and apparently 32 bit linux isn't supported in this edition of Renp'y right now so if it's still not working, it might be that? Really wish I could help further but my linux knowledge is limited. There seems to be tutorials on youtube about this though.
