Together in Battle / Re: Together in Battle Dev Log
Last post by CraigStern - February 12, 2026, 10:17:14 AM- when loading an existing map within the map editor, the editor's camera now automatically pans to the center of the newly loaded map.
- the map editor now supports drawing exit areas directly onto the map for scenes with Free Movement and Exploration Mode.

Last post by helpmoulting - February 12, 2026, 01:48:47 AMThe level of polish in this remake is quite impressive, and I'm excited to watch how the community develops around it. I'm eager to learn about your experiences as well!

Together in Battle / Re: Together in Battle Dev Log
Last post by CraigStern - February 11, 2026, 04:26:42 PM- status effects now step in real-time when in free movement exploration mode: Burning and Poisoned deal damage over time, Stunned and Frozen temporarily prevent the character from moving, Move Bonus and Slowed temporarily impact the character's movement speed.
- created new, visible "exit tiles" to transition between scenes when in free move exploration mode. If the destination scene has a Free Movement condition, these tiles can automatically reposition the free mover to specific coordinates and facing a specific direction on the destination map to represent where they're entering the map from.

Together in Battle / Re: Together in Battle Dev Log
Last post by CraigStern - February 10, 2026, 01:37:03 PM- when pressing the Give button for an item in the Reserves Supplies screen, if there is only a single character currently accessing the reserve supplies, that item is now automatically given to the character instead of making you select that character as the recipient.
- when in free movement exploration mode, if the free mover dies (as from trap damage), the game now immediately triggers a defeat state and either auto-reloads the last save or transitions to a new scene (if there's a defeat scene defined).
- the size of sphere colliders for battlefield units can now be defined on a case-by-case basis for each unit type in PremadeUnits.xml using the new colliderSize attribute. (By default, the colliderSize for a unit is 0.25). Spike traps, iron jaw traps, and snare traps now have a smaller collider size than other objects.

Last post by CraigStern - February 10, 2026, 08:36:14 AMHi all_zebest!
1.) This is a known issue: it's supposed to transfer custom campaigns downloaded through Steam Workshop to a specific folder: Users > [whatever your Windows username is] > Documents > My Games > Together in Battle > Custom Campaigns.
For some reason I haven't yet been able to uncover, sometimes it doesn't transfer the folder despite being told to and the folders then have to be moved manually. I suspect it has something to do with how Steam's API handles things, since this only ever happens with downloaded campaigns, not the campaigns you create yourself.
2.) That same folder I just mentioned is also where your own custom campaigns will show up: Users > [whatever your Windows username is] > Documents > My Games > Together in Battle > Custom Campaigns. The individual battles and cutscenes will be located in your campaign's Maps subfolder.
Best of luck; I look forward to trying out your campaign once it's ready! :)

Telepath Tactics Liberated (2022) / Help with the campaign editor
Last post by all_zebest - February 09, 2026, 10:05:36 AMHi, Craig. I have 2 problems in one.
1. I downloaded "The Defense of McSquigums Castle" and "The Vengeance of Emma Strider (Moddable)" through Steam Workshop. I can access the mods'files in my PC in F:\Jeux Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\1849820, but these mods are not recognised by the game and don't appear when I open the campaigns ingame.
2. On the contrary, the mod I started to make a long time ago with the "Create a New Campaign" function ingame is present ingame. Unfortunately, I erased the _Introduction file and cannot go back. Where is this folder situated on my PC (so that I can copy-paste the file from "The Vengeance of Emma Strider (Moddable)")?
Can you help me?

Together in Battle / Re: Together in Battle Dev Log
Last post by CraigStern - February 09, 2026, 10:05:08 AM- the CardGame script action is no longer limited to cutscenes--it can now be used to initiate a game of Psy Clash within exploration scenes and even mid-battle.

Telepath Tactics Liberated (2022) / Re: Dev Log
Last post by CraigStern - February 08, 2026, 05:45:34 PM- added a quick weapon selection button to the actions bar interface (with a gamepad shortcut of Right Trigger when a character is selected, or ',' and '.' when playing with mouse and keyboard) similar to the one in Together in Battle.
- fixed: after an enemy grabbed an item sack, if playing with gamepad controls, move tiles would inappropriately appear onscreen for a second or so.
- fixed: due to the continued use of some deprecated script formatting, it was possible for both Emma and Sabrina to have recruitment conversations with Rebecca Flare during the Battle with Gunther.

Telepath Tactics Liberated (2022) / Re: Dev Log
Last post by CraigStern - February 07, 2026, 09:46:46 PMFor version 1.0.61:
- fixed: gamepad cursor alignment was off for various inventory-related and character screen UI elements when playing on Steamdeck.
- fixed: character healthbars could leave a weird visual-glitch trail during character movement when playing on Steamdeck.
