Latest Updates from Our Project:
Results of the Backer Survey. MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT

Thank you to everyone that took the time to respond to my survey! Your feedback has been incredibly helpful in showing me some places where this campaign can do better. The personal messages were also incredibly appreciated and brought a smile to my face, thanks. There is going to be a lot in this update but I hope you will read it all.
About 35% of you felt that the current $48 price is too high for what Super Snipers is offering. The majority of you also said that $35 seemed like the most reasonable price point. I have done some major thinking, consulting, and re-structuring of my plan and plan to announce the following next week:
1) Re-structuring stretch goals and increasing the value of the game:
Expect the following upgrades to the game (at all pledge levels that include it):
Acrylic discs replacing cardboard
Linen finish on all cards
Target Grids will be PVC instead of cardstock.
Higher quality, larger draw bags (still need to decide the exact material and dimensions)
And then the Stretch Goals will be simplified and re-structured to try to realistically deliver:
New art for all 6 additional Locations
Unlock the Artemis Super Sniper
This is the big one: Acrylic upgrade for the Focus (polyominoes) in the game. I believe I can do this at $20,000 but I will decide for sure by next Monday
2) Adding: Take Your Shot Pledge Level: $35+
Pay $35 or more to get the game with all unlocked stretch goals. This pledge level will only be available during the campaign. It will not come with any of the extras available at the $48 level. More on that in a second.
3) Increasing the Value of the $48 level:
As it does now, it will come with the PnP, and digital art files included.
Adding the soon to be announced "Light and Shadow" Expansion of two additional characters for free (will also be available as an add-on in the pledge manager)
Adding a special "Make your own Target" digital pack with all the assets you will need to create your own Location and Target Puzzles for the game.
Note that the Super Saver, Sharpshooter, and Elite Levels will also be upgraded with everything being made available at the $48 level
My hope for the changes above are as follows:
First and foremost to get more games to people who really want them. That is the primary goal of this campaign.
That $1 backers will take advantage of the limited time offer and upgrade to either the Take Your Shot or Super Sniper levels based on the savings and/or the improved quality of the offering.
Current $48 backers will be happy with the extras they are getting at that level and stay there (not necessary, you do whatever is best for you!)
That this really invigorates the remainder of the campaign through the finish.
I absolutely need your help with that last part. Anything you can do to help get the word out about the new offerings starting November 7th will help. Even without these changes, $20,000 is a very realistic bar to hit by the end of the campaign and the upgrade to acrylic polyominoes - I hope - is a good motivator for everyone to help us get there. Thank you!
I had written much more, but it didn't save and I have run out of time. Let me know your thoughts!

1 week into the Campaign: What to expect from the final product.

We made it through the first week of the campaign! Unfortunately, I finally caught COVID yesterday (my birthday of all days!). On the bright side, I'm banished to the attic with nothing better to do than work on this campaign, game design, and play solo games!
What to expect from the final version of Super Snipers:
I filmed a video talking about the differences between the prototype and the final product. Please watch this and let me know if you have any questions!
Super Snipers Tournament:
We still have room for sign-ups but I will close it down at the end of the week. This game is a ton of fun on TTS and I am more than happy to try to find a time to teach you the game first if you are interested! There will be an exclusive prize on the line.
Sign up Form (all other links you will need are there as well)
Puzzle Challenge:
I've put together a fun weekly puzzle challenge that can be played in TTS. It's quick, it's fun, it is challenging, and it teaches you the fundamentals of the game step-by-step. Plus, you get an entry to win an exclusive prize!
What? You aren't motivated by mystery? The prize for both the tournament and challenge will be a full acrylic set of Focus (the polyominoes) to upgrade your game with. This will not otherwise be available for this print run (and who knows for the future). Be one of the only people in the world to have this super sweet upgrade to your copy of Super Snipers!
Other News:
The campaign has slowed down (as is normal after the first two days) and I'm doing what I can to keep getting fresh content out there to draw people in. If you want to help out, please just share around any of the reviews or other content coming out. Or, up your $1 pledges.
There will be additional reviews dropping this week and another playthrough video this weekend.
I am currently in discussions about getting the rulebook translated into Spanish and French. I am unsure whether I will be able to offer these rulebooks as an option in the pledge manager or if they will just be available as PDFs. No plans to translate game components at this time but there is very little text in the game other than the Character Cards, which will have full translations in the rulebook. The player aid will also be translated.
I am looking into adjusting the stretch goals. Just need to do some math!
If you missed it, Gloryhoundd's live playthrough was AWESOME. It's only 30 minutes and you get to see both 2-player modes. Watch this if you want to know if the real-time mode is for you! The Video
That's all for now. Let me know if you have any questions.
Galen.

Hello Everyone! It was such a wonderful relief and rush to fund last night! Thank you all for helping me make my dream a reality! Day 3 and we are 110% funded!
In this update I will talk about Super Saver pledges, the Super Snipers Tournament, our Puzzle Challenge, and the next stretch goal.
Super Saver Pledges: Thanks to the generosity of our backers, I will be adding an additional 10 Super Saver Pledges at 4pm EST today. Thank to everyone who gave extra to support more of these!
Super Snipers Tournament: If you would like to be part of a TTS Super Snipers Tournament and have a chance at eternal glory (and a limited special prize), please fill out the Contestant Survey Slots are limited to 16 and I will fill them in the order the surveys arrive. We will look to announce the contestants on Monday. We may need alternates so don't despair if you don't make the first cut! We will be live streaming the finals on Sunday, November 13th so you will need availability that day. The game is great on TTS and I look forward to some competition!
Puzzle Challenge: In Update 2 I announced our Puzzle Challenge but I've only had one entry so far. Don't let him run away with the prize without a fight! Go look at the second update for all the details and good luck!
Next Stretch Goal: If we can get to $15,000 we will add new art to the Location IV Locate Grids and Target Grids for both player colors (currently, the art is the same on both sides of the grids while the puzzles are different). That's two new pieces of art and 4 game components affected. If you love what Hwa has been doing with the art in this game, you will love this!
That's it for now. Please come join our Discord! I run playtests every Sunday Evening (9EST) and am happy to teach the game or set you up with someone who can. I can do other times right now too, just ask.

Thank you!!
I am so incredibly happy to announce that we were able to bring Super Snipers over the line well before the end of the second day of the campaign! That is no small feat for a first game from an Indy designer and I am humbled by the faith everyone has put in me and my project!
A couple of events helped put us over the line and I want to acknowledge them here. First, James Hudson, designer of Wonderland's War, gave my campaign a mention in his update to his 7,000+ backers and we saw an immediate jump in backers. I'm happy to return the favor! He has a little game named Wonderland's War that you might want to check out!
We also had a backer jump in on the Elite pledge! I haven't spoken with them yet so I won't release their name, but they will be working with us on creating a new Super Sniper to add to the game! Thank you!
We unlocked our first stretch goal of the active campaign: MDK-02 has been unlocked and added to the game. The next stretch goal will be to add fresh new art to both Location IV's when we hit $15,000. If we can hit $20,000, I'll bring in another new Super Sniper!
Check out the last update for info on MDK-02 (he will be on the page soon), the Puzzle Contest, and I will be back soon with information on a TTS tournament.
Thank you all so much for helping us get here! Let's keep getting the word out and keep adding great content to the game!
