What a wild week and a half it's been since launch.
I hate talking numbers on here over and over again, because making this game was never about that. But I'm comfortable talking about our wishlist count because there's something special and surreal about the overwhelming support this game has gotten. And wishlists, more than a goofy "units sold" or monetary-related announcement, feels appropriate to recognize. So thank you for your continued support in wishlists, now more than 30,000.
This will be our last numbers-related announcement as we continue post-launch support of the game. Instead, we'd like to shift focus to some of the events, in-person and online, that T.W.I.R.L. will be participating in throughout the coming months! We're excited to share that T.W.I.R.L. will be at PAX West 2026, as part of the new Indie Incubator section (booth #II21), as well as PAX Together! If you'll be attending, stop by and say hi! We will be there from Friday through Monday, September 4-7.
Additionally, on Friday September 4, T.W.I.R.L. will be participating in The MIX Showcase - Fall Edition happening alongside PAX West in Seattle!
After PAX, we'll also be attending AdventureX in London November 7-8! As for online showcases, we'll be participating in Game Devs of Color Expo September 22-25!
...and many more events both in-person and online that we plan to announce soon!
Thank you again for your support of T.W.I.R.L. and our next game we just announced, SWEETHEART!
We'll have more updates to share about both games soon, including a developer's commentary update that we're preparing before the end of the year, and potentially some news about a console release!
If you haven't already, don't forget to join our discord community to stay in touch. We can't wait to share more in the near future.
