A new engine!

[ArtDrake]

Oh. Reading the backgrounds, it seems that whatever these are a part of takes place in the same setting as TT. If it weren't for the remarks about it seeming to be a whole new game, I'd guess it was some sort of official expansion pack.

Currently trying to decide between perspective projection and orthographic projection. What do we think?

[bugfartboy]

If you're going for visibility of depth, perspective really seems to do the trick. Orthographic seems to leave a lot of visual information out.

[ArtDrake]

Perspective is definitely nicer! It really accomodates the natural desire to simultaneously see a wide area and have plenty of ability to see what's closest to you (i.e., what's front and center is nice and big). Granted, it's subtle for small maps, but I also happen to feel like it's aesthetically nicer.

[Ertxiem]

I agree that perspective seems nicer.
However, it seems that if you zoom out a bit in the orthographic projection you'll get almost the same thing.

As mentalists had just a wee bit too many distinct things going on in Telepath Tactics, I've decided to break the mentalist class into two: the mentalist and the kineticist, each with a clear tactical focus.

Here's concept art for the new kineticist class!

[CraigStern]

Another one! ;)

[CraigStern]

...and one more, for good measure.

Attack targeting is now working! (Shown: Shadow Blast.)

Showing off nonverbal tics in dialogue, plus the addition of a unique "healing" bark. ;)

Blood... really isn't the fluid I was hoping to spill today.

It was good for me.

Hold still, darling.

Oh geez   ;D

[CraigStern]

I've made some good progress on the UI this past month, as well as on other crucial systems. :)

[CraigStern]

Equipment can now be procedurally generated with different attributes, from quality to balance to durability...to more exotic things (like "poisoned").

[bugfartboy]

This is starting to feel like a procedurally generated dungeon crawler of sorts!

[CraigStern]

New: I've got the character screen in-progress; attacks now carry their associated status effects; counterattacks are now part of character generation and leveling, and are working properly in combat.

This is starting to feel like a procedurally generated dungeon crawler of sorts!

Well, there's certainly procedural generation at work... :)
