My Five Year Indie Game Launched. My Mind Is Blown

Hey guys, I don't have a ton of time here. Um I wanted to What a day. What a What a beautiful, wonderful 24 hours. To be honest with you, I expected today to go bad or the last 24 hours to go bad. But I I made a game If you don't know who I am, my name is Thomas Brush. I made a game for 5 years called Twisted Tower and it was just basically this love letter if I'm being honest, love letter to BioShock and Willy Wonka and mascot horror. It's basically like Willy Wonka in kind of a creepy Disney World kind of game. Um I want to just make a request to you and I'm going to uh I feel bad making a request cuz well well you guys are the reason why the game is doing well. I I mean that. I mean look you just you crushed it. You You crushed it, guys. You showed up and you you pushed uh you pushed Twisted Tower and you and you bought the game and you left reviews and and

it's just doing so well. Like I'm just I'm so amazed by this. Thank you so much. But anyway, I I wanted to just ask you my have a goal of getting 500 reviews, okay? Um I just wanted to ask if you you if you did play the game, please um click the link below and just leave a review. Um any review any review. I just want to hear your thoughts about the game. Um and I just wanted to tell you guys that um the the last 23 days were I say 23 days cuz that's when I started the sprint. The last 23 days preparing for launch have been the hard They really have the hardest 23 days ever. I mean, I'm so tired. And but you guys all like a lot of you showed up on the beta testing server and just you broke the game and you broke the game, and you broke the game, and

you helped me so much. So many of you did like all-nighters. I mean, it was just wild how much you guys all supported and helped. And And for those of you who just watched my videos and and what just watching videos and dealing with the the the annoying ad reads that I would do for my courses and I know sponsorships can be annoying, but you guys you still showed up for my videos, and that helped fund the final leg of the the game development. You guys showed up, and and I I can't ask for anything more. And so, that's why I kind of feel bad asking if you could click below and leave a review. Uh and again, any review.
