Hear ye, hear ye! We are here to announce another stretch goal winner! This round was quite an interesting little race.
With that, I am thrilled to announce that our fourth stretch goal unlock is...
3 NEW IMMORTALIZED PET SNAKES!
So how will this work? This Sunday, we will increase the limit on the "Add your pet snake to the game!" reward tier from 3 to 6. At that point, anyone will be able to modify their pledge to this reward tier. We will announce the official time on Saturday — keep an eye out!
With the new total of 6 snakes, the base game of Quest Snakes now comes with 66 snakes. Just a heads up: this will require us to increase the number of sleeves included in the sleeve pack (we originally planned for 100 sleeves — 65 snakes and 35 quests). You do not need to modify your pledge in any way. We will ensure the base game is always covered by a single pack of sleeves, and all expansions will be covered by two packs. We will post more information once details are sorted with manufacturing, but I wanted to make this callout to limit confusion/questions.
We are also incredibly close to our next stretch goal, so be sure to share Quest Snakes with your friends and family to help us get over this next hump!
I want you all to know that I hear your feedback loud and clear. We wanted to try some non-traditional stretch goals with the TTS tournament and tattoo, but they’ve been met with mixed reactions. So moving forward, all future stretch goal voting will focus on game upgrades and add-ons.
That said, I love the TTS tournament idea and don’t want to toss it out. I was a tournament organized/ community manager for an indie gem called "Duelyst" back in the day, so this even feels like going back to my roots. With that, I’m happy to announce that we will still host a TTS tournament later in the campaign. I’ll write a specific update once I’ve sorted out some key details, so stay tuned. I guess this stretch goal became a bit of a double whammy, eh?
If any of this is unclear, feel free to post your questions in the comments below — I'll be happy to clarify.
I hope everyone’s week is ending on a strong note. 🐍💚

P.S. Vee and I want to send our thoughts to everyone impacted by Hurricanes Helene and Milton. I was born and raised in South Florida and have a lot of family down there. We hope everyone has been staying safe and looking after their loved ones. We love the little community we've built here and will be looking into ways to lift one another up when devastation strikes. Please stay safe.
