Our Story

Three Hats
One Island

Three Hat Studio was founded in July 2021 as a solo creative outlet which is now deeply rooted in Tasmania — lutruwita, the island at the bottom of the world. What began as a Discord RPG experiment evolved into a broader vision: a non-profit studio making games, publishing books, and connecting with the Tasmanian community.

The Three Hats

Three Hat Interactive is the digital development arm, focused on creating minimal, fast, highly responsive digital experiences. An independent game development studio. Our flagship is the Underpunks RPG — a Discord-based RPG game with community funding via Patreon. All revenue goes directly to operational costs.

Three Hat Press handles publishing — Underpunks novellas, magazines and regional history articles — exclusively via print-on-demand. No inventory, no upfront risk. Just stories, printed when someone wants them.

Three Hat Media is the community-facing broadcasting arm producing non-commercial audio programmes, short films, and creative literacy initiatives — all free for public access.

Why "Three Hat"?

As Johnny Two Hats should of said: "One hat's a cap. Two hats is a look. Three hats would be a statement." Our name 3hat is a nod to the creative genius of The Mighty Boosh that perfectly representing the three creative disciplines we pursue — games, press, and media. Each its own hat, each worn by the same sole creator.

Based in Tasmania (lutruwita / Van Diemen's Land), our studio creates from the edge of the world [42° S]. We are driven by the island’s wild landscapes and unyielding explorer history. To create here is to understand the brutal allure of the unknown. That same relentless, story-inspiring spirit of taming a remote wilderness is forged directly into all of our games, press, and media.
