Kind Words 2 News

Kind Words 2 has been nominated for a BAFTA in the Games Beyond Entertainment category!

I won't speak for the rest of our team, but I am absolutely not above the need for external validation.

The loving responses from players and now the esteemed BAFTA judges means a lot.

Knowing that people are enjoying the game motivates us to continue pouring our hearts in to watering this little garden of good vibes.

To celebrate, we've put together this new trailer made up of players' own feelings about Kind Words 2 taken right from Steam reviews. Maybe you'll find your own quote there ;)

Enjoy the trailer, enjoy the game and enjoy watching the BAFTAs!

The music mood override button's override choice was being overridden, so I overwrote it. (He said in an over wrought sentence). Thanks to discord user Beno988 for the heads up.

Also, Kind Words 2 just got nominated for a BAFTA! Which is really because it's full of amazing players who make the game a great place to be. And those players are you, so it's kind of like YOU just got nominated for a BAFTA!

Way to go! Treat yo' self.

Did you know that every song in Kind Words 2 has four moods? As you move from home to city, to café to mountain top, each song changes with the feel of the location. Drums morph, timbres shift, vibes slide.

Did you notice that even the menu sound effects change pitch to match the key of the current song? Who does that?!

Clark Aboud does that!

And now he's made 4 new songs!

• Golden Dreamer
  
• Cloud Watching
  
• Cerulean
  
• Ampersand
  

And song each has four moods. Moods and tracks that you can now flip through with the new "Music Control Panel with Frog Head" (patent pending). They're going in to the soundtrack DLC too, of course.



He even wrote a little ditty that the train plays when it pulls in to the station.

And so we honor Clark in the most Kind Wordsiest of fashions… with the new Clark sticker.

We hope the new music and moods helps with your mood today.

Cheers,
Ziba & Luigi

• Reworked outdoor conversation distribution. There are now color coded badges that indicate whether you are continuing a conversation you started (purple), continuing a conversation someone else started (red), or starting a new conversation (gold). This plus background changes should even out the opportunities to start new conversations. It may take a little while for the new balance to settle in.
  
• More outdoor conversation hover context to tell you what will happen if you interact with someone.
  
• Fixed the Banini Slug sticker decoration not showing up. WAKE UP BANINI!
  
• Improved multiple offline behaviors
  
• Fixed a bug preventing the outdoor button from being highlighted during the initial game tutorial
