We're at a year and change now and you haven't slowed down! You're still writing each other thousands of messages every day.
We are humbled to have Kind Words become a regular part of so many people's lives and, in keeping with long-standing international custom for developer-player relations, we offer you this traditional gift: a giant, looming beast and some mittens.
In fact, since you've exchanged well over 3 million messages, we are soaring past the the beast-mitten requirement to bring you:
- A new room in a warm wooden cabin with a string of twinkling lights!
- Steam trading cards!
- 10 new stickers! Each with matching room objects. Including this guy...
What the lil' green penguin is saying is that we've also made a host of less sexy, but desirable little changes too.
- More efficient and error tolerant network code.
- Autofocusing on text input fields whenever they appear.
- The request list is refreshed every time you view it.
- Fixed a bug which could cause new stickers not to get the big fanfare they deserve when first seen.
- The options menu can now be accessed from the title screen.
- Lowered the volume. Why was it so loud?
- Updated the underlying engine to Unity 2019.4.18.
- Showing a "connecting..." message on the title screen if it's taking too long to connect. So that you know what it's up to. It's trying to connect.
It's a joy to watch you help each other and a privilege to shepherd your voices.
Take care out there. We're in this together.
Yours,
Ziba and Luigi
