Pelican Post

Welcome to Port Pleasant! Pelican Post is a cozy narrative game about delivering mail to a town of charming characters and building community.

Pelican Post will be taking part in Steam Next Fest from Oct 19th-26th! If you haven't gotten a chance to try the demo yet, this is the perfect time to do it!

19 Sept

Hey! Since our demo launched on Steam this summer, we've been taking a break. But now we're back to work and focusing on fixing a thorny problem: motion sickness with the truck.

19 Sept

This is something that is really important to us. However, none of us on the team has experienced it ourselves, so we'd appreciate your patience as we figure out the best ways to mitigate the problem and test it. We're working on a few different hypotheses!

19 Sept

One big thing we've noticed is that it happens when people focus too hard on the background as the truck moves, so one of our solutions is to add motion blur when the truck is moving fast. This is still very WIP!

Hey everyone, for the first time, we're going to an event in Philly! We'll be at PHL Gaming at Localhost this Saturday from 10am to 4pm! The event is free, but you need to register at: luma.com/mc9unemq

14 Nov 2025

Last but not least is Nick, who is also joining the writing team to help bring our colorful characters to life. Nick is a Game Design and Development Master's student with a passion for storytelling. He enjoys gaming, cooking, sports, and spending time with his 2 cats

12 Nov 2025

We also have two new writers joining the team, one of whom is Miranda! She's helping to bring our characters to life with new dialogue. Miranda is also a 2D animator and has a background in scriptwriting and storyboarding. She spends her free time drawing, gaming, and obsessing over characters.

10 Nov 2025

We have some new team members to introduce! First is Rylan, who is helping with marketing and social media. He recently graduated from RIT with his Master's in Marketing and Communication, specializing in social media. He loves art, going to cafes, and late-night conversations.

3 Oct 2025

We had a really successful time at @rocgamefest.bsky.social! We got to show off a little peek at our platforming rework. We also held a side quest for attendees to participate in, with eight gnomes hidden around the event.

3 Oct 2025

If players found eighty gnomes during the event, we said we would reveal a new character. We didn't quite make it, but we were still impressed with 62 gnomes found, so we still wanted to tease the new character! We'd love to see your guesses!

26 Sept 2025

Hi everyone, long time no see! We'll be at @rocgamefest.bsky.social next week with Pelican Post! This year, it's at RIT's SHED on September 27th, from 11-5. There will also be another chance to find gnomes around the event and get a holographic Clyde sticker!

There's a new twist to the gnome hunt this time around, too!
