Together in Battle / Where are the save files?
April 14, 2023, 11:47:39 AM
Windows: C:\Users\YOUR_USER_NAME\AppData\LocalLow\Sinister Design\Together in Battle

YOUR_USER_NAME is whatever your user name is for Windows.

The file names look like savedGame1.telepath; the number should correspond to the save slot you're using for your game. (You may also see files like savedGameBS1.telepath--these are "battle start" saves used to restart battles from the beginning.)

Telepath Tactics Liberated (2022) / Dev Log
December 15, 2021, 10:08:42 AM
I've finally created a dedicated forum for Telepath Tactics Liberated--and with that, I'm splitting off the dev log from Together in Battle's. The games still share an engine, but it makes more sense to continue posting about Telepath Tactics Liberated progress here, I think. More to come soon!

I've just announced our next game release: Telepath Tactics Liberated! Go check it out! :D

Hey folks! Telepath Tactics: Liberated Edition is nearing the end of development, and that means it's time to hunt down whatever bugs may be lying in wait within the game's code.

Want to help me find and eradicate those bugs? Come join us starting this Sunday afternoon as we put the game through its paces! All you need is a computer that runs Windows. When the event starts, I'll post a link on the Sinister Design Discord for you to download a beta build of the game; then all you have to do is download it, unzip it, and play the game while I watch and take notes. That's it! :)

(If you're on Facebook, you can RSVP to the event here)

Together in Battle / Together in Battle Dev Log
February 06, 2020, 05:37:30 PM
Now that I've announced the game and its identity is no longer a secret, I'll be continuing the old developer's log here! (Wow, has it really been more than three and a half years since I started that thing?! Sheesh!)

We'll start modestly:

-- fixed: inventory buttons would inappropriately display in the recruitment screen when a recruit had nothing in their inventory.
#16
Hey folks! Did you miss the Kickstarter? Feeling a little sad that you missed out on the chance to get True Messiah? Well worry no more--the game is now available in the Sinister Design shop!

Here's the official announcement. :)

True Messiah / True Messiah strategies
November 29, 2018, 11:28:20 AM
What are some strategies you've discovered in True Messiah that you like to use? Share below!

I'll start us off: using Fruit of Knowledge for defense. Although Fruit of Knowledge is generally an offensive miracle (most often used for messing up enemy temples-in-progress), because nonbelievers cannot ever be on a holy space, it can also be used on your own followers to protect your holy spaces.

The next time an enemy moves up to one of your temples, try using Fruit of Knowledge to preempt the move: pray with a follower on that temple, then turn the praying follower into a nonbeliever and move it onto an adjacent space to block the attack!

True Messiah / Rulebook update
June 13, 2018, 02:04:28 PM
I've updated the True Messiah rulebook with a few wording changes, as well as a new page discussing the four messiahs--who they're rumored to be, what their strengths are, and what their distinct starting cards are.
