Why, Popcannibal, why?!?!?!

A little Boston studio making games about sailing, dead worlds and seating arrangements. Not enough nudity in any of them.

RECENT ANNOUNCEMENTS

New Music!

9 November, 2019 - Popcannibal | 5 Comments

More lofi! More chill! More beats!

You may recall that Ella, the female mail deer, has a side gig bringing you fresh tunes every day that you write a letter. Well, she just found SEVEN more tracks. Just keep coming back to write and they're yours.

Mildly compelling backstory
Before launching, I daydreamed: "If this thing actually took off, I'd love to commission more music". Well, you all made my dream come true. Clark Aboud has produced 7 new tracks that go in to the game today.

They have a wider range of feeling, including a triplet of "Connector" pieces that are like deep breathing for your ears.

The new music is also now in the soundtrack DLC plus we've added lossless FLAC format recordings of everything.

More feelings
I'm so honored that people are choosing to spend their time here and proud of all the effort players have made to lift each other up.

Also, I fixed some bugs and tweaked some things!

Full changelog!

7 new songs
Added a volume slider for sound effects (really just Ella's voice)
Removed a game stutter when changing music
Fixed a bug which would announce the wrong stickers on game start
Fixed a song ordering issue when viewing the radio after unlocking a track
Fixed the mental health link when composing airplanes
Fixed a tutorial typo
Fixed a bug which made letters with no stickers appear to have the Elegy sticker
Upgraded to Unity 2019.4.11f1
Did, like, 80 million things to the server to make moderation easier and prevent the whole enterprise from melting down.

250,000 Letters!

A Quarter Million!

You kind people have already written 250,000 letters to each other!

When we dreamed up this little trust experiment, we never imagined it would get this big. In fact, before launch I did a stress test on the server with 60,000 fake messages and laughed to myself "hah, we'll NEVER get close to that".

(Thank you all for bearing with us through brief server meltdown that followed.)

It has been a crazy few weeks improving the servers, fixing bugs, streamlining our moderator tools, and talking to hundreds people on discord[discord.gg], email, twitter and reddit!

Thank you

It's a bit overwhelming, but we've been lifted up by your enthusiasm, positivity and fan art. More importantly, thank you for what you're doing for each other. It's a privilege for us to be facilitating such heart warming exchanges as are happening every minute through Kind Words.

Now more!

We're blinking the joyful sparkles of astonishment out of our eyes now and getting back to work. THERE WILL BE MORE STICKERS! Just you wait and see ;)

Fun fact, I took so long making that sexy looping celebratory video that you've actually hit 271k already!

You can see the video with sound on twitter
