Evergreen Anniversary: New Room! New Stickers! Screen Savers!?!
It's been a year since Kind Words launched on Steam! And what an incredible birth of a community is has been! You've exchanged over TWO MILLION messages. More importantly, we keep hearing from people how much those messages mean to them. We'd love to take credit, but you all put your hearts on your sleeves and you all responded. So please take a moment to recognize the gifts you've given each other. The best thanks that we can think of is to keep it fresh with new content.
If you really want to set the mood as you read on about the AMAZING NEW STUFF, here's a treat: Kind Words' composer Clark Aboud has rearranged one of his favorite tracks, Lavender, for a trio of electric guitars!
The new Evergreen room is like bright sunlight filtering through leaves above.
I don't want to spoil all the surprises, but there's an Axolotl and a ghost. And they're cute as fu...n times ahead for everyone!
We know a lot of you are leaving Kind Words on in the background to listen to the music or wait for replies. So now you can do that with style. We've included three screen saver modes which fade out the UI and intensify the chill. (One can intensify chill, right?). Even better, the screen savers have an option to automatically display airplane messages from other players. You've written about 400,000 airplanes. And now you can just relax and let them float directly in to your heart. Hmm. This is getting a little saccharine. Good thing I saved the least emotional bits for last!
That is, unless you get weepy about ultra-wide monitors. Cause baby: we now have much better support for ultra-wide monitors.
Or maybe your heart has been yearning for this little checkbox:

Screen Savers!

Bug Fixes and Improvements!
That is, unless you get weepy about ultra-wide monitors. Cause baby: we now have much better support for ultra-wide monitors.

Also:
- Fixed a couple problems preventing Ella from alerting you about new letters.
- You can cancel out of reporting a message without selecting a reason first.
- No more sending empty airplanes! People weren't really abusing it. But it was silly.
- The scarecrow sticker is no longer sideways in a bunch of places. That wacky guy.
- Upgraded the game engine (Unity) to 2019.4.10
- Somehow the whole thing is a couple megabytes smaller. Not really sure how that happened. Bit gremlins probably.

Write Nice Letters to People and Get Stickers
Has something got you down? Stressed you out? Scared you? That's pretty normal. It might help you to talk about it.In Kind Words, players anonymously write out their concerns and sorrows by making short requests for letters.
Receive Comforting Letters
Everyone can respond to requests with letters of comfort, sympathy or gentle advice.Kind Words is a positive context; a warm, cozy mood. A place to feel centered and focused on the opportunity presented:
Use your words to lift others and be lifted in return.
Oh, and There’s Stickers!
You start the game with a couple random stickers in their inventory.Stickers can be placed on letters written to others or sent as an appreciative response to a letter that has been received.
Once you get a new sticker, you can make copies of that sticker to send out to other players.
Each sticker also comes with a 3D toy that you can put on display in your room.
Swap letters to build up your collection of stickers and room decorations!
