Iassume telepath tactics will be like TSoG in terms of payment? e.i. demo with the full game costing money?

[CraigStern]

Yup, pretty much: there will be a free demo, and the full game will probably be about $10.

[SmartyPants]

I want this game to be full assed. Think about that for a second.

I looking forwarded to the full assed game!

[CraigStern]

As well you should be!

[bugfartboy]

Has your name on Twitter always been "Plague Stern"?

[CraigStern]

Nope; I changed it for Halloween, and will be changing it back again afterward.

Garrett the Impaler. Feel free to take a wild guess what character class he is.

Clearly, he is a psy healer

If Set wasn't a pacifist, then could he kill someone by using Solid State Shield?

I see... cunning: creating a solid state shield inside an enemy. If the shape could be oblong or even straight like a stick, instead of spherical, it would explain why Garrett is named the Impaler.

Being less drastic, we could block an enemy with a few Solid State Shields around him and then push him over a cliff, assuming that we're stronger than our enemy. Or we could just suffocate someone by building a Solid State Shield around him.

Why is it that flash games always seem to use vector animation instead of frame by frame animation? Does it cause a lot of lag, or is it just too much effort?

In an if-this-was-real-life sense, and not in a supported-by-the-game-engine sense: yes. If the target was asleep, unarmed, or otherwise unable to break the shield in time, and Set managed to make it airtight, he could suffocate someone with one.

Why is it that flash games always seem to use vector animation instead of frame by frame animation? Does it cause a lot of lag, or is it just too much effort?

Frame by frame animation is way, way more time-consuming (and difficult) to create than vector tween animations. Tweening is a way to get a game's animations made quickly and cheaply.

What do you mean by "free targeting or constrained targeting" on your twitter post?

[CraigStern]

See attached.

[SmartyPants]

Does that mean that constrained targeting only allows perpendicular attacks, while free targetting allows for diagonal attacks in addition to perpendicular attacks?

[CraigStern]

Yes. Constrained targeting is what all of the Telepath games have used so far; free targeting is a new feature.

[bugfartboy]

That seems interesting. I noticed the example of constrained targeting you used was bow(man/woman). Would I be wrong in deducting that bow(men/women) don't know how to aim diagonally?
