Hey everyone!

Developer Brendan here to tell you that we’re baaaack!

Apologies for the radio silence! The SNIPERPUNK engine never stops though it does slow down a bit for holidays. For real though, we appreciate your patience with us while we’ve been quiet; a lot of good stuff has been going on behind the scenes, we just needed some time to make sure everything was in a state that was worth showing to you all before we began ramping up our external communications again. However, enough of that! I’ve been talking about having something to show you, so let’s do just that.

Today, I would like to share a way for y’all to hop back into Sniping your friends in a big way. Introducing: weekly playtests! On a weekly basis, we will be opening up the Playtest build of SNIPERPUNK with a new way in which to play the game, namely what we are calling 'tests'. These tests can be viewed as modifiers to the base game, and can range from all guns getting double ricochet, to introducing a thick darkness onto the map… Basically, anything can happen! After their weekend is up, we’ll leave the build up for the rest of the week and return the next weekend on Friday with the next one. These will be a little weird and wild, but we hope you really enjoy them!

But Developer Brendan, when can I actually play these new tests?

I'm glad you asked! As for when you can play these different tests, how about … tomorrow???

Yes, that’s right! Starting tomorrow on 2/9/2024 at 9:00 AM EST, the first playtest will be available for you all to try! Each week at 9:00, the current test will rotate out, and the next week will begin. This first week will be double items: all items you pick up will give you 2 stacks (including weapons), which means your builds will get pretty nuts pretty quickly.

Where can I go to claim my key?

In order to gain access to these tests, go to the ⁠playtest-keys channel in our Discord (link below) and type !items in order to claim a key, even if you have done so previously. (apologies if you’ve already claimed a key from the bot before; this was the cleanest way to do it internally) As usual, you can claim 2 keys; one for you, and one for a friend!

Finally, we have some new items for you all to test as well! These will be rolling out on a weekly basis alongside the tests, but will be sticking around even after that week’s test has concluded! This week is the Reduplicator, which gives you another stack on your lowest rarity item with the lowest number of stacks. Oh yeah, it’s happening.

With that, that’s all I’ve got! Let us know what you think in ⁠the sniper-chat and ⁠feedback channels of our Discord when you get to test! If certain tests are popular enough we’ll consider rerunning them in the future as well! With that, have a great rest of your week and Happy Sniping!

SNIPERPUNK Alpha Announcement

Hey everyone!

Developer Brendan here with a super big SNIPERPUNK news announcement!

I am extremely hype to share our release date for our PUBLIC ALPHA with you all! We've been super hard at work behind the scenes creating all-new content for the game that'll really shake up how SNIPERPUNK is played.

Item System

For starters, we have our new item system! For those of you with eagle eyes (or maybe sniper eyes? 🤔), you may have noticed that our Steam page now says that we are a 1v1 Rogue-Like game. This was entirely intentional, as we now have a super cool new item system in the game! The way that it works is after each round, both players will be given the option to choose an item that will augment the way they play. These items range from bigger ammo capacities to drastically increased abilities, so games will begin to go off the rails.

New Weapons & Abilities

Additionally, we have new weapons and abilities! The gun and second ability of each Punk have been added to the roster of selectable items in between matches (as well as a whole lot more to choose from), allowing players to really customize their loadouts and make a build that really suits their playstyle.

New Maps

Finally, we have all new maps! Now there are a multitude of new stages and arenas for you all to explore and get cool trickshots with. The level geometry in these is pretty different from our previous stages, so have fun finding the best angles for your ricochets!

Release Date

To round it all out, the release date for the Alpha is ......... MAY 17th! Right around the corner (and after graduation, meaning there's more time for sniping ;) ) and just in time for some summer fun.

SUPER IMPORTANT: If you want a key for the Alpha, we will be dispersing keys to our Discord members, so, if you haven't already joined our community yet, click the logo below to be included in the Alpha! We will be updating in the next few days as to how to acquire keys for this Alpha, so stay tuned!

Thank you all for sticking with us on the SNIPERPUNK journey. We really appreciate all of your enthusiastic support of the game and us as developers and hope that you really enjoy the fruits of our labor. You all are amazing and your positive messages have kept us going through finals and graduation.

With that, thank you so much for reading! If you'd like a quick sneak-preview of some gameplay, check out our super sick trailer here:

Thank you all, and I hope to see you all during the Alpha! Happy Sniping!
