Telepath Tactics February Update

While the Kickstarter campaign for the title might have failed, Craig Stern is still working hard on his Telepath Tactics, and has issued a February update that showcases the latest progress and announces that the game will be showcased at PAX East’s Indie MegaBooth. Here’s a snip:

Despite my current limited resources, I’m still pushing forward and making needed substantive improvements to Telepath Tactics:

• You can now create ice bridges by using Cold element attacks on water tiles. This was a feature I’d been wanting in the game for some time; all in all, it took less than an hour to add. Have a look.
• The map editor now includes a new dialog editor that makes it easy to create your own dialog trees and edit existing ones. I’ve also extended the dialog/scripting system with new triggers and script actions to ensure lots of flexibility to create interesting branching conversations and branching campaigns. Of particular note is the fact that you can now define, modify, check and display custom variables in dialog. This allows you to model money, shops, character relationships, or just about anything else you can think of during the course of a campaign.

Thanks, RPGWatch.
