Telepath Tactics [ Now on Kickstarter! ]

[Craig Stern]

Hey there, turn-based tactics fans! Remember the time that Adam Smith wrote about the Fire Emblem-style strategy RPG with bridge building, throwing characters into lava, mod support, and 2-to-6 player multiplayer? You know, this one:



Well, it's now up on Kickstarter! Specifically, I'm trying to raise money to finish up the game's art, get it some good music and sound effects, and give it a polished release on PC, Mac and Linux; I am not taking any of the money to pay myself. (I have a break-down of exactly where I'll be spending the Kickstarter funds on the campaign page if you're curious.)

We're currently at $4,200 on day 3 of the campaign, which puts us at 16% of the fundraising goal. Pretty decent, all in all, but we still have a ways to go. If you want to help out, please head on over and spread the word; I'm grateful for every bit of help folks can offer!

Any questions? Post 'em here and I'll do my best to answer them!

Hey folks, we have an update! Adam Smith mentioned the demo in yesterday's Kickstarter Katch-up, but did you know that I just updated the demo today? It's true!

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!

Download links are the same; more info on what I added is available right here: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/...s/posts/370187

Oh, also: I created a video discussing local multiplayer in Telepath Tactics and showing a 2-vs-2 team match. Check it out!
