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

CraigStern

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

I looking forwarded to the full assed game!

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

CraigStern

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

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.

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.

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?
