Thank you!

We are in completely awe. Yesterday we managed to meet our goal of $15,000! This means a lot to us. It means that all of our hard work and effort making Master Thief is finally going to pay off. its a true relief to realize that it will finally be real. Thank you all, sincerely!

We have since soared well past our goal, and continue forward! We are currently double-checking with our manufacturer before we officially post the stretch goals, but we promise, they are coming. We have 3 lined up right now, and we are very excited to share them with you.

We also are working on updating some of the graphics on the campaign page to give a more in depth look at some of the cards in Master Thief. You'll see that starting to flow in as we speak. As 50% of Sparr games has a Graphic Design degree, you'll understand the obsessive need for this to be perfect, right?

Lastly, we are shooting our gameplay walkthrough this weekend, and will post it as soon as we are finished. 

Again, thank you so much, WE DID IT! And it's all thanks to you!

Happy Heisting

Hello fellow bandits!

Well, here we are on Day 3, and already we have surpassed 50% of our goal. We are completely blown away by the support. We want to shout out to all of your for helping us get this far in such short span of time. We have read the comments on gameplay, and have decided to post a short turn-by-turn walkthrough video this week. Look for that popping up very soon. We definitely want to make sure everyone is comfortable with their pledge, and keep the excitement up!

In addition, we are also in talks of potential stretch goals. We have a few sneaky ideas up our sleeves, and need to hash out all the details before we release these. But this should also be posted very shortly as well.

Hope everyone is as excited as we are, thank you again.

Happy Heisting!

New Reward Level: The Cat Burglar
over 8 years ago – Fri, Sep 25, 2015 at 05:15:30 PM

Greetings All

First off, we want to thank all of our backers, sincerely. We are just a few days in and have already reached 75% of our goal! On top of that, yesterday we were also featured as a Kickstarter Staff Pick! This was huge for us.

New Reward!

Now, to all of you sneaky pickpockets out there, we want to give a shout out to you for getting to us early, and we have heard your battle cry throughout the museum! By popular demand, the two of us have decided to retroactively add a bonus reward level! We are calling it THE CAT BURGLAR!

They say the early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese?
Well... the cat takes it all!

This reward should be considered an additional early bird tier, and will be limited in quantity. We understand that many of you Pickpockets out there would like to step-up your thievery and become a Cat Burglar, so this is your chance! For an additional $8.00 on top of your current pledge, you can now receive the first expansion pack, Cursed Items.

Now, for the Swindlers who have already pledged $35 dollars for the same reward, we want to be sure you are not forgotten. Because there is honor amongst thieves, we encourage you to drop down to this level, and save yourself the $7 additional dollars. 

This reward will be limited to the first 100 crafty backers! 

We will not be offering an early bird special for the Master Thief level. We have very big plans in store for the Kickstarter Exclusive pack, with game-breaking characters, museum items, and actions. This is going to be something truly fantastic, with top-qualty specialty printing effects and unique properties, these are meant to be highly collectible. (Consider this the holographic Charizard of Master Thief!) 

Whats Next?

We're getting extremely close to our goal of $15,000, and pledges keep rolling in. We are currently settling down on a few stretch goals that will add even more to what you have already backed. We expect this will be our next update! Until then, we hope you enjoy the new reward level!

Thank you again, and as always 
Happy Heisting!

New Reward Level: Part 2
over 8 years ago – Fri, Sep 25, 2015 at 05:01:54 PM

Greetings Thieves!

Hello again! We have specified in our comments section our intentions with the Cat Burglar reward level. To recap, we just want to make sure that we do not forget about those who have already pledged their support. Continuing to adjust the reward levels for early birds will do just that.

As a way to make sure no one was left out on the Cat Burglar we have decided to extend that deal out to another 100 backers. This is the last adjustment that we will be making to the rewards. We implore anyone currently backing at the Swindler level to step down. We felt awful when the Cat Burglar ran out yesterday and many of you were left behind!

Thank you for all your understanding.

So Close

Amidst the complications, we are still extremely excited to say that we are within $1,000 of being funded! Its a dream come true for both of us, and we can't wait to move forward. We hope that by the next time we post an update, it will be something along the lines of "We Did It!"

Design Matters

We want to take a moment to say how impressed we are with everyone's support of not just our game, but the hundreds of other games also currently seeking funding. As far as we are concerned, we are all in this together! 

That's why we want to take a quick second to share one of our favorite games we've found recently. Less.

We are drawn to this game for its simplicity, and attention to detail. Its minimal, functional, and just fun to look at! We believe that good visual design is key, and the Less team absolutely NAILED it with that logo! So clever and so appropriate. 

Be sure to check them out if you have not already, they have our support and hopefully they will have yours as well!


Thanks again everyone, and as always, 

Happy Heisting!
