Okay, I've updated Pocket Bird's itch page to better reflect the program's style! It's not perfect, but it's way better than before and a lot more fun. Shout out to "itchpack" by @billiam.org for making editing way easier! New page: idreesinc.itch.io/pocket-bird #opensource #gamedev

On the bright side, it is very satisfying watching the map warp as I add anchor points to match the Minecraft coordinates with real world locations!

People have shared some truly wonderful anonymous letters through the animal crossing letter editor at acmail.idreesinc.com Here are just a few examples that I loved

Animal crossing letter with mushrooms: You may not be in the best part of life right now, but you can keep moving forward and things can and will get better, even if its not in the ways you expect! Keep going, I believe in you

Fireworks are one of my favorite things in life. We only see them here on new years and they never fail to amaze me. They remind me of being a child filled with wonder and my heart fills with happiness <3

It's always possible to start over somewhere new

I wish you luck because life aint easy and I absolutely wish you to be kind and have a good heart for that's how true life is meant to be experienced

It flies around your screen, and can even be pet

It's literally just a bird. A cute bird tho. (and it's open source)

Life's gonna keep throwing challenges at you. While it may be harsh, the world was not made for those like us and maybe that's okay. Always keep fighting for who you want to be <3

You are not alone in this and you are loved and cared for.
