KickStarter Telepath Tactics Liberated - deterministic tactical RPG inspired by Fire Emblem

[Craig Stern]

All right, we are go! Here's the version 1.02 changelog: http://sinisterdesign.net/telepath-tactics-v-1-02-patch/

Craig Stern Really been putting some time into this as I promised I would. I'm still not very good yet... which makes watching and clicking through the same dialogue every single time gets a little very annoying after awhile. A feature request would be to let me hit the escape button to skip the dialogue entirely. Also, after rescuing the sprigget(?) that wants to be an "artist, not a fighter" and I get to talk to my team members does one of them actually try to start a... romance... ? And you are certainly into woman representation in your games...(not that there's anything wrong with that..... since they don't have blue/pink hair.....)

 

[Craig Stern]

A feature request would be to let me hit the escape button at skip the dialogue entirely.

That's a little harder to accomplish than it sounds, since script events that can affect the battlefield in vital ways are tied to dialogue--but I bet I could make it happen! It might take a little while to make work, though. I'll put it on The List.

 

[ERYFKRAD]

Is there a barbarian class in this game yet or should I be making one?

Thanks and I'm really enjoying myself. I just have to get over my OCD playing style where I need to get every chest/loot bag and reload if any of my companions die... which is why it's taking me multiple tries on each map!!!

The bandit is about as close to "Barbarian" as the game gets. Go nuts!

Sounds about par for the course.

So after not playing the game since a few days ago and the install of a few updates my savegames "dissapeared", went into AppData/Roaming to check what was happening and now there are two Telepath Tactics folders, one is "SinisterGaemes.TelepathTactics" which was used by my game prior to the updates and the new one being called "TTwm", I could move the files and continue the game with no problem but maybe you should check into it.

 

[Craig Stern]

Blah; it looks like the compiler deleted some data about the executable that the game uses to identify itself in Windows. *sigh* Hang on; I'll have it fixed in a moment.

Hotfixes for patches is Paradox territory :D

 

[Niektory]

If an enemy grabs an item, can I get it back by killing them?

 

[Craig Stern]

If the item isn't money, then yes! If it is money, however, then it vanishes into the enemy character's extra-dimensional bank account*.


*not actually, but there's no other in-universe explanation for it

 

[Lhynn]

How do you plan to implement manual saving craig?

 

[Anthedon]

Something is definitely up with performance and battle length. The fight in the tavern became very sluggish towards the end (slow mouse and animation speed plus longer turn times).

 

[Craig Stern]

Yeah, I'm going to try to fix that for the next update. I'm still not sure what's causing it...

So, what do you girls/guys think of (unit spoilers):

Spoiler

The mantis knight and the Bronze golem. The Knight, for me, seems to be lacking proper attack power. The golem is useful, but lack movements (have yet to test the engine power) and seemingly defense.

 

[Anthedon]

The knight is great because of the huge movement radius plus the ability to move after attacking. I haven't tried the other guy yet, at this point he's quite behind in levels.

The knight also has a 4(?) squares knock back, which has situational use. Additionally it also works if her weapon breaks.

 

[Niektory]

The game froze when I clicked the end turn button. The "Enemy's Turn" window popped up and the game wouldn't continue. Possibly because the turn ended automatically after moving all units and clicking the end turn button conflicted with that.

[Craig Stern]

Aha! Your log reveals that you're playing version 1.01--the bug that caused your freeze is addressed in version 1.02. You should update to that version.

 

[Niektory]

Will do... when GOG get off their asses and post it.

Another thing. This mantis knight charged me down a cliff. I don't think that's supposed to happen.

If the game is successful enough it would be nice to see an advance wars-esque expansion. A campaign where you have/create different units each map and do not have to worry about unit survival (and can also experiment with units).

Version 1.025 is live: http://sinisterdesign.net/telepath-tactics-v-1-025-patch/

 

[vonAchdorf]

fixed a bug in which the player could open up the settings menu during the enemy turn and surrender on the enemy’s behalf, then get the Victory screen.

Darn, should have known this earlier

 

[pakoito]

fixed a particularly annoying bug in which the actions window would sometimes spawn offscreen if you started a battle while in windowed mode.

Hurray! I can play now.

 

[oscar]

Eugh going to have to re-do a battle that got stuck on the Victory Screen.
