Locate, target, and take out your rival in this puzzley sniper duel.

Tabletopia - markh110

Super Snipers is a 1-2 player head-to-head sniper duelling game featuring a familiar Tetris mechanic used in a novel and exciting way.

In Super Snipers, players assume the roles of genetically and cybernetically enhanced soldiers, each racing to locate and kill the other Super Sniper first. They do this by placing polyominoes (called “Focus”) onto grids. They must locate their opponent, isolate innocent bystanders, and make their kill. The first player to make 3 kills wins.

Super Snipers has a simultaneous turns Duel Mode, a real-time Quickdraw Mode, a solo turn-based Contract Mode against an automa, and an intense solo real-time Hostage Rescue Mode against two automa in a hostage situation.

Now on Kickstarter!
Play it now on Tabletopia!

Steam Achievements, Progression Reset, Chest Reroll Mechanic and more.

Crimson Dawn - Domitori

New Changes

1. When playing Crimson Dawn you're now able to unlock 60 unique Steam Achievements to get even more fun from the game.
2. New Progression Reset feature allows to refund all spent materials, currencies and revert all blacksmith upgrades or characters abilities which will be locked again. However refund feature will keep purchased characters and all map goals that were achieved before.
Refund button can be found in the bottom right corner of the both blacksmith or characters menus.
3. Meet improved Drop Chest mechanic and add new Chest Reroll system. Now different items will fall out of the chest with a certain probability. We tried to make the mechanics more diverse so that you have a choice between artefacts, weapons, instant level-up or additional resources. Reroll system allows you to renew the offered rewards once per each chest.
4. Visual Spear weapon improvements made the attack animation and projectile look more natural.
5. 4K Resolution: now you can enjoy the game in Ultra High-definition quality by setting the resolution to 3840x2160 in the options.

Mi-24P Hind

Development Progress

Work on the Petrovich AI for DCS: Mi-24P Hind continues, and our latest development has focused on Petrovich background behaviors. These determine what Petrovich will do when not busy blowing stuff up with ATGMs or searching for targets through the periscope sight.

One of the activities, which is almost finished, will allow Petrovich to scan for threats and warn you of them. Petrovich AI will move his Field Of View (FOV) in different directions to scan for potential threats like missiles or projectiles fired at you. The FOV is limited, and if Petrovich looks at something on the starboard side, he won't notice gun or missile fire coming from the port side. When detecting threats, Petrovich will only notice missiles from far away when a smoke trail is still present. The projectile detection range is limited to 2.5km. Petrovich will not warn you of everything detected and flood you with messages. Rather, Petrovich will be looking at relative speeds and trajectory to decide if a missile or hail of rounds pose a threat. Just like a real co-pilot, he will make educated guesses and warn about incoming missiles, even if the missile is locked on another target that is close to you.

Messages and voice overs will be in the form of clock direction calls, between 9 o'clock to 3 o'clock. Petrovich will also use countermeasures automatically when he detects incoming missiles. We also have a new video from Wolfpack345 ready that reviews all Petrovich AI functionality. Check out DCS: Mi-24P Hind Petrovich AI.

We will next move this technology to George in the AH-64D.

Small Update 1.3.2: Skins in Single Player, Level Editor UI changes and more!

Clone Drone in the Danger Zone - JoshFTL

Hello Humans!

Today we are bringing you a small update with very cool additions and improvements!

Single Player Skins

Multiplayer Skins are now available in single player! Lots of people have asked for this and now it's possible to wear your favourite skin and colour in single player modes! This should be available today on all versions of the game; PC, Nintendo Switch, Xbox and PlayStation!

To customise them you can go to the options menu and select a skin and a colour!

Level Editor UI

We've also made a couple of small improvements to the level editor. You can now select groups of triggers using a separate list that you can search, scroll through, or select/de-select all. It also puts your previously selected triggers at the top of the list for ease of use!

Our amazing new 3D artist Isaac has updated the Rest in Pieces emote (previously given to some players as an event reward) to have it's own unique animation! We heard some players were disappointed with the previous animation so we wanted to give it a fresh new look!

Meanwhile we are working very hard on our next game, a new VR version of Clone Drone and you can follow our progress on TikTok and Twitch. We will continue updating the PC, Switch, PlayStation and Xbox versions of the game with small things like bug fixes and ease of use changes over the coming months too.

Good luck in the arena!
The Doborog Team
