We Hit 5k Wishlists!!!

[p]Ahoy there Sol Mates~ [/p][p][/p][p]Loren here, writing this dev update a few miles from LA, where we just attended the MIX to cap off a month of convention madness. [/p][p][/p][p]To recap: We've been all over the US this month, showing off Sol Mates first at PAX East, then Dreamhack Dallas, debuting a new trailer with the Shacknews Showcase and finally the MIX in LA. [/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]A huge thank you to everyone that's dropped by our booths and tried out the game! The raison d'etre behind Sol Mates has always been to bring people together, so getting to see the game in the hands of friends and families has been nothing short of amazing. There's no correct way to play Sol Mates, and everyone brought their own strategies to bear against our giant enemy crab. I witnessed the IGN crew blast their way through our boss, a group of maids abandoning their own on a space station, and strangers strategize on the fly around a particularly trigger-happy kid. [/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]My big takeaway from all these conventions is that there's a burning love for this chaotic co-op genre we live in, and that our biggest hurdle is going to be getting Sol Mates in front of the people that want it. To that end, we'll be working hard on a demo to release this summer, something that y'all can really chew on and share with your friends to get them interested too. We do have something to show for our efforts: we've been steadily grown our wishlist count over these busy weeks and I'm happy to say that we've just crested 5000 wishlists! I appreciate every single one of you, and I hope many more will join you on this wishlist soon! [/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Which reminds me, if you have any questions, comments or suggestions for the game, please drop by our discord here (https://discord.gg/nbMsnwFGqY). For those content creators out there reading this, please shoot us an email at [email protected], we'd love to add you to our list of people to send keys out to! [/p][p][/p][p]As an aside, being in LA in this particular time, I am witnessing a legit invasion by people who wish to do harm to Californians, and I hope everyone stays safe while making themselves heard. We're all stronger together, be it in game or in real life, so keep your head up and your friends close! [/p][p][/p][p]-Loren[/p][p][/p]
