Telepath Tactics Kickstarter

[Nov 28, 2012, 10:50 am ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

A new Kickstarter Campaign is underway for Telepath Tactics, Sinister Design's multiplayer game set in the Telepath RPG game world that was announced earlier this year. The game just recently suffered a likely delay, and the explanation of why they are seeking a relatively modest $25,000 kickstart ties into that:

Every single thing you read in the section above is currently in-game and working. There is no question about whether this project is too ambitious to complete: it isn't. The lion's share of the really tough stuff is already done. I just need more resources to give the game all the content and polish it needs.

SO, WHAT DO YOU NEED $25,500 FOR?

I've crunched some numbers, and $25,500 is the bare minimum amount of money it will take to finish Telepath Tactics to my satisfaction. (Please note that I am not counting wages for myself in this figure. I don't want a salary; I just want the money to get this thing done right.)

Not really.

Strategy is on a macro level, while tactics are micro level. So your overall plan in a war is considered strategy, while the assignment of each combat squad in any given engagement are considered tactics.

Yeah, for me it depends on whether it's pure tactics or not. X-COM and JA work for me because they aren't in a bubble.

And, when I played RTS games, I loved anything that required building, hated anything that involved only having units that are given to you (Gettysburg remains my least favorite Sid Meier game.)
