Hii everyone! (●’◡’●)ﾉ
I’m so SO EXCITED to announce that the Mail Time Kickstarter will be launching on FEBRUARY 15TH!!!
We’re only a month away from it! (aaaaAAAaaAA)
Here’s just a small sneak peek at some of the amazing rewards you’ll be able to purchase:
There’s no prototype YET and we still need to figure out the color we’ll be using but HYPE!!! You can get your VERY OWN MAIL SCOUT AAaaaAAahhh!!! 💌🎁
Just imagine all of the cool pictures you could take of your mail scout hanging around, put them in a tree, put them next to your dog, put them in your backpack!! It’s so so cool to be able to offer plushies as a reward and we’ve been working really hard to make it possible. It’s probably the most requested merch item so you got it!!
💖We’ll be consulting YOU on what colors to pick for the plushy so be sure to follow Mail Time on TikTok, Twitter or join the Discord!!

✨Dev Updates ✨
First of all, happy New Years!! I’m back with the very first dev update of 2022 and I don’t want to make you TOO excited on top of the Kickstarter announcement but 2022 is the year Mail Time will launch!! I don’t know exactly when but I’m trying my darn hardest to get the game done and launched THIS YEAR.
So what have I been up to since December? I’d love to tell you 🐌☕️ ☕️🐛
🎮Controller support!🎮
Mail Time now has full controller support 😎
It’s been a challenge to get working but it’s all set up now and you should be able to use pretty much any controller! Even if it isn’t immediately recognised and working you can also:
🕹️Rebind all the controls🕹️
It’s been a huge headache to get working but I’m so happy to say that you’ll be able to rebind the controls. There’s still the final bits to do, hence the empty gaps in the UI, but you can rebind your controls to any input device you own. I can’t wait to see the steering wheel speedruns 😌
Now the most exciting thing everyone has been asking for:
🔘SLIDERS AND BUTTONS TO CHANGE THINGS WITH🔘
That’s right! Mail Time now has a settings menu B) I hadn’t actually thought that this would be a thing people would be excited about but damn everyone on Discord & the streams has been so excited about it.
Some cool things it includes:
☀️Accessibility settings!☀️
There’s various accessibility settings and I’m still adding more. I’m trying to get as many in there as I possibly can >:) Some highlights include the camera assist (which will allow you to play without a mouse if that’s difficult for you), showing the controls in the HUD for easy reminders and even giving yourself unlimited gliding stamina.
Giving yourself unlimited stamina will impact the way the game is paced and isn’t necessarily the intended way but if you feel that you would not be able to play the game without it or would simply enjoy the game more like that it’s there!
🌈Pronouns🌈
I had originally planned to never use any pronouns in the game for the player, which worked pretty well so far. But, it turns out that with different languages comes the fun realization that you can’t avoid gender everywhere. SO you can now pick your pronouns! ^U^
There’s the choice between she/her, he/him and they/them. Although, in certain languages they/them will not be available as the language doesn’t actually have a way for us to use gender neutral pronouns. But, for languages that do have that capability, you can be they/them ☺️
That’s it for now! :) Thanks so much for the support so far on the Kickstarter, we’re already at over 700 pre-saves which is amazing 💖
