whase Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 (edited) I only scanned over this topic quickly (not much time right now) But is this game by any chance related to Telepath RPG, a game by sinister designs I was addicted to a few years or so ago? EDIT: never mind, followed a link and saw for myself Edited December 7, 2012 by whase Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Sinister Posted December 7, 2012 Author Share Posted December 7, 2012 Thanks, guys! But is this game by any chance related to Telepath RPG, a game by sinister designs I was addicted to a few years or so ago? It takes place in a different part of the same world, features most of the same races, and basically extends the combat principles I established in the earlier titles with...well, you've seen the feature list.

Mr. Sinister Posted December 17, 2012 Author Share Posted December 17, 2012 (edited) Hey guys! I've gone ahead and updated the public demo. Among other things: The game now has an undo stack that lets you undo more than one move back. Telepath Tactics now supports explosion chains. The enemy AI has been improved a bit. There is now a second large battle in the demo, a much more challenging one with greater diversity of units, attacks and items on display!

redturtle806 Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 This looks cool, I'll dl and test it for you when I get a chance. Keep up the good work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
47948201 Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 I haven't played this, but I just looked through the thread (and I watched the video on your Kickstarter a few days ago), and I have a bit of a suggestion about the black space deal. What if, similar to Radiant Dawn (and presumably Path of Radiance, but I haven't played that), you made more of the map than would be playable, but limited cursor and unit movement to where you actually want the units to be able to move? I'm not sure if I explained that very well, sorry! As for the game itself, from what I've seen it looks very neat. It'll be interesting to see what kind of creativity you can get out of the terraforming mechanic. Maybe I'll grab the demo and try it out to give you more feedback, but I can't contribute money--sorry about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Sinister Posted December 17, 2012 Author Share Posted December 17, 2012 Thanks, guys! I'm looking forward to hearing what you think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bum_199 Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 (edited) i guess the kick starter didn't meet its goal but there going to try again in march i think. They plan to contact the people who backed before to give it a head start when it starts again and spread the word for now.

Mr. Sinister Posted February 25, 2013 Author Share Posted February 25, 2013 Hey, folks! I've been hard at work over the past two months making Telepath Tactics better and better; here is the updated "What is Telepath Tactics?" video showing off many of the improvements: For more details, I've done detailed write-ups for December, January and February detailing the multitude of improvements to the game made over the course of each month. Perhaps the coolest change is that the game now has massively improved dialog and scripting support, with full support for dialog trees, character relationship values, and even branching campaigns. I'll be updating the alpha demo again in a little over two weeks, when I launch my second attempt at Kickstarting this game. Thoughts? Comments? Let me know below!

Mr. Sinister Posted February 28, 2013 Author Share Posted February 28, 2013 Looks pretty awesome. Have you given any thought to an android release? Thanks! I have; it's one of the stretch goals I'm considering for the upcoming Kickstarter. Check out this post for more info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Sinister Posted March 11, 2013 Author Share Posted March 11, 2013 Update: the Telepath Tactics Kickstarter relaunches in 3 days! I'll post again when the campaign is live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Sinister Posted March 14, 2013 Author Share Posted March 14, 2013 (edited) The Telepath Tactics Kickstarter campaign has launched; check it out! :) Edited March 14, 2013 by Mr. Sinister Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Sinister Posted March 15, 2013 Author Share Posted March 15, 2013 (edited) Quick update on the campaign: it's going really, really well! Here is where we're at right now, as I type: $11,211 pledged 74% funded That's a pretty darn good place to be with 31 days left to go. If you want to be a part of making Telepath Tactics happen, there's still plenty of time. Come on over and check out the campaign page, play the new public demo, and let me know what you think!

Crimson Red Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 (edited) This looks awesome, even more than before. Great work--keep up it up. Quick question, if you get a chance to answer it: I've just pledged $150 upon discovering this here topic and I was wondering if the Producer mention could be say, used on a resume or the like? That was more or less my motivation for it (though designing video games is a personal dream/hobby of 6-7 years so if I could only borrow $2,000 or more, I would definitely go for the Assistant Designer one, haha!).

Mr. Sinister Posted March 16, 2013 Author Share Posted March 16, 2013 Guys--we're getting really really close to hitting our funding goal! As I write, we're now less than $750 away from being fully funded. I'm currently taking votes about potential stretch goals, so if you're interested in influencing the direction the game takes, go ahead and make your voice heard. This looks awesome, even more than before. Great work--keep up it up.

Hey, thanks for your support! I really appreciate it. It's up to you what you do with that Producer credit--if you want to stick it on a resume, hey: be my guest. (Though when it comes time for an interview, you should probably be prepared to answer questions about what you actually did as a producer... ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Sinister Posted March 17, 2013 Author Share Posted March 17, 2013 All right: we've met our base funding goal in just 3 days, which is really good news! I've posted an update with stretch goals. You can read it here if you're curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson Red Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Bahahaha, that's interesting. I'll have to think about how I use it (I probably won't push my luck). I just got the e-mail from the KickStarter campaign, all of the stretch goals sound great! If I weren't already in debt I would pledge more but I'll be sure to advertise this on my own Fire Emblem websites when I get the chance. Best of luck!

Mr. Sinister Posted March 20, 2013 Author Share Posted March 20, 2013 Update! I've written up a small post about the first stretch goal, talking about new character classes and the potential for a class promotion system if we hit the goal. Check it out!

Mr. Sinister Posted April 4, 2013 Author Share Posted April 4, 2013 And more! I don't know if you saw, but we hit our dungeons stretch goal yesterday. That means the game is now going to support dungeons with scriptable levers, buttons, pressure plates and doors. I posted an update about it, and went into some detail on features you can use in your single player campaign battles. I also created a video showing how the map editor works.

Mr. Sinister Posted April 9, 2013 Author Share Posted April 9, 2013 Hey guys! So, we're now in the last week of the campaign. I posted a new update today talking about some improvements I've been working on to Telepath Tactics. We're getting pretty close to the stretch goal that will allow me to stick procedural battlefield generation into the game. I would use it sparingly (if at all) in the main campaign, but it could be really handy as far as creating campaigns with unpredictable battles and high replayability! Oh, also, you can now change weather, lighting, fog of war, victory conditions, and other battle settings on the fly. Here's a video showing me fooling around with that (I suggest watching in HD): There's more, too. Head here to read the full update! http://www.kickstart...pg/posts/448578 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
