This week marks the 5 year anniversary of launching Kind Words on Steam. A lot has changed in 5 years, hasn't it? Not just for the world, but for you personally, I'll bet.
One of my biggest changes was having Kind Words in my life. It's been an amazing trip for Luigi and I to learn how to care for this community we started. And what a joy it has been that the community has cared for us in return.
I could go on all sentimental like for a while, but I've got to go fix bugs now to make everything ready for the launch day.
You watch this shiny new trailer, share it with all your friends and I'll get back to writing code. Deal? Deal.
Yours,
Ziba & Luigi

Also, I love you and want you to have nice t…
