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.

Lastly, a fellow Indy Pub with a really unique game on Kickstarter could use some help getting to their funding goal. If you haven't already, check out Black Mold by Terrible Games! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/tokenterrors/black-mold
Welcome to Day 3 of the Campaign! Lots to share...

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.
Fully Funded in under 36 Hours!!

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!
73% funded on Day 1!

Thank You!
In the first day of the campaign we've already reached 73% of our goal and gained over 200 backers! As a first time creator bringing something very different than most game offerings on Kickstarter, that feels really good! Thank you for believing in this project! I've got a number of things to share today:
Extending the 24 hour stretch goal:
We are really close to hitting the funding goal and I'm going to extend the first stretch goal by 24 hours. If we can hit $10k by 9amEST on 10/20, we will add MDK-02 to the Super Sniper Roster. Hwa has been busy getting him ready. Have a look!
MDK-02
And their Adrenaline power:
And their backstory:
Really hoping that we can unlock them with this stretch goal. If not, "They'll be back" in some way later ;)
More Alternative Art!
The Super Snipers community unlocked alternative art for every character's Adrenaline Card before the campaign launched. This will include any unlocked characters from here on out. We will keep revealing them as they get finished. You can already see Kuaket's on the main page. He just finished Jane VIII's:
If you are in love with the artwork in this game like I am, leave a comment or share around and help us get more people to the campaign!
Weekly Puzzle!
We heard you like puzzles? Each week I will have a link to a Tabletop Simulator (TTS) mod set up with a specific puzzle challenge. The mod page will have a link to a short YouTube video explaining that week's challenge. Each challenge will teach some fundamentals of the game and build off of the lessons learned in the last one, so they should be done in order.
Toearn an entry into a drawing for an extremely limited game upgrade and goodie bag:
1) Take a screenshot of your finished puzzle.
1) Comment on the Kickstarter "I finished the Puzzle in __ moves"
2) Tag @galensgames and #supersnipers in any post you want at FB, Twitter, Instagram or TikTok and take a screenshot.
3) Send both screenshots to [email protected].
4) If someone referred you to the Kickstarter, add their name and they will get one additional entry.
This week's shouldn't be too hard, but I will be surprised if someone can beat it in fewer pieces than I did!
Hopefully my next update will be to announce that we have funded. But either way, I will be announcing some social stretch goals and a TTS Super Snipers Tournament with the same prize on the line as the Puzzle Challenge. If you want to start getting ready, there's a great TTS mod of the game that I encourage you to check out!
Super Snipers and Galen's Games Communities:
If you want to know more about the game and/or connect with our community, there's a couple of places to do that!
