Wow. Last week, Smile For Me turned 1 year old. To celebrate, we released the interactive epilogue, telling the story of the habiticians one year later. We also ran a big sale; the proceeds of which would be donated to Reclaim the Block and local bail funds for Black Lives Matter protestors. We expected to raise a decent amount of money. Maybe $4,000? $5,000?

Instead, you raised over 10 thousand dollars for Black Lives Matter organizations!

On the first day of the sale, we sold more copies of Smile For Me than the day we first released. We're overjoyed that the money from those sales can go to a cause we support with all our heart. Thousands of new players joined the community as existing players tweeted, made art, and spread kind words about the game. Since we released the game a year ago, we've been blown away by the love and kindness endemic to the Smile For Me community. We created the epilogue in order to thank you for the positivity you put into the world. By making this fundraiser a massive success, you proved again that the Smile For Me fans are the best fans. We want to thank you for buying, sharing, and talking about the game; you helped us donate tons of money to some great organizations. You make us smile. Keep on spreading love, and stay safe! Sincerely LimboLane

Dear Habiticians, of past present and future...

Smile For Me was released one year ago today. Today, we released the long-anticipated epilogue, in the form of an interactive webpage.

Smile For Today features brand new dialogue from all the Habiticians, and new music by Lucas Saur and EZIA.

Most importantly, it features a wide range of work from artists in the Smile For Me community, who have taken to heart the game’s message by being kind, generous, and surprising in their support of one another. The Habiticians have something to say to you. Why don’t you go see what the hubbub is all about?

Right now, the world is a scary place.

We hope that you can use art to care for yourself and others. But we also ask that you do not turn a blind eye on the injustice and brutality that are inescapable for so many.

During this sale, all of the money we make will be given to Reclaim the Block, as well as local bail and relief funds.

We believe strongly that grassroots organizing is the most effective way to combat the deep hurt imposed on black and poc communities. Let’s make this world better.

• As a note: Steam takes a 30% cut of game sales. If you get your steam key from itchio instead, every single cent will go to grassroots organizations.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for a year of kindness and community. You make us smile. Sincerely, LimboLane

Hi All! We've released a new hotfix to address a major bug with saved items. Some save files created since June 3rd have failed to save all of their items. This update should address and repair that bug. In the meantime, it is possible that in the last day and a half, a user might have ended up with a save file that is missing crucial items. We're very sorry if this happened to you, and please feel free to reach out to our support email if you think you're missing items or have questions about whether your save file is softlocked. This is a precursor to a larger quality of life update which we will roll out tonight or early tomorrow. Thanks for sticking with us, and sorry about any inconvenience. Sincerely, -LL

You've given us the inspiration it takes to create a world from scratch, toppling countless obstacles. From the bottom of our hearts, we appreciate all your care and support.
