Patch NotesOfficial
Added Steam Cloud Support
Just went ahead and finally made Steam Cloud work for words from pluto! It will save not only your progress but the poems created at the end (up to 49 of them.) If there are any issues with Steam Cloud then please notify me either through the steam forums or the discord. While I'm here I want to thank you all for 75 reviews! It's very surreal to see so many people enjoying something I have made, especially for a game that I was expecting a more mixed reception for. I hope that I can keep making art that you all of you and me can enjoy.Read full article on Community Announcements (ThatMegalosaurus)AnnouncementsOfficial

This has been my most successful game release I have ever done, and it has made me so glad to see people enjoying my game. This will most likely be the last major update for the game for a long time; any further updates will just include bug fixes or additional languages. However, soon I hope to release a little bonus pack DLC on Steam with a ton of concept art, scrapped content, and other goodies. I have no clue when this will be released, as I am still polishing it to make it worth the money (3.99 USD) that it will cost. Until then, I hope you enjoy the update!
