One of the best parts about PC gaming is the ability to modify and create your own new content and share them to others for the games you enjoy the most.  Through this, entirely new worlds and stories can be created by the players, enabling almost infinite possibilities within the game to enjoy.  Telepath Tactics’ developer, Sinister Design, has realized that potential and aims to make it possible for fans of their multiplayer turn-based RPG.

After announcing the move to user created content would be coming last month, Telepath Tactics has finally made the move over. In the recent patch, Sinister Design has finally made it possible to create your own campaigns and share them with your friends in an easy to use system.

Instead of just creating one single player campaign for their fans to enjoy, Sinister Design gave Telepath Tactics an unlimited number of campaigns to play through and enjoy. Each game will be different from the last as users can create their own custom characters, battles, enemies, items, attacks, dialog, and even create their own cutscenes to make their campaign unique and stand out from the rest.

Also coming in this patch is a slew of new features for fans of the series to enjoy. New character animations and music are being included in the August update along with a new ability. Now you will be able to hand place items throughout the game; on battlefields, in barrels, or even inside characters.

While Telepath Tactics is still in design, you can keep an eye on its progress at Sinister Design’s website.

If you’re a fan of strategy, of RPGs, steampunk and don’t mind some reading then Telepath RPG: Servants Of God is worthy of your attention and it’s out now so feel free to give it a whirl.For the unaware, Servants Of God is actually the third chapter in the Telepath RPG series. But don’t run away! The story in this is unconnected to the previous two games so there’s no need to worry about being left behind.The developers describe the game as a “hybrid western RPG / strategy RPG set in a unique Middle Eastern steampunk fantasy setting”.

Craig Stern from Sinister Design emailed me this weekend to let me know that everybody’s favorite indie RPG, Telepath RPG: Servants of God, has received an update which not only fixes a whole slew of bugs, but also adds a new clan as well as a few new characters. It looks like a fairly meaty update.

• Visit the Rubat clan!
• Get an audience with Dean Anya at the Psy Academy and potentially convince her to lend you troops!
• Find hidden riddle chests and crack their codes for lots of gold!
• Meet Judge Hakim, the newest acolyte!
• The hero’s available attacks can now be swapped before battles.
• Enjoy having fewer bugs! (Or don’t. I suppose you could always find this point sad, if you chose.)

According to Craig a bigger update is in the works as well. He’s currently expanding the Great Forest and adding new content everywhere. More importantly, however, he’s also preparing to add recording voice acting into the game. No word on when that will come, however.

If you have the demo the game should update automatically via Adobe Air.

Telepath RPG: Servants of God is still set for a PC, Mac, Linux simultaneous release by December 31st.

Sinister Design touts Telepath RPG as the first hybrid Japanese tactical RPG / free-roaming Western RPG. I’ve added an extra “brid” since the game has a Middle Eastern steampunk fantasy setting. If overhead RPGs are your thing, check out all that Telepath RPG: Servants of God has to offer:

• Tactical turn-based combat where positioning and planning are key

• Different races and factions, each with its own agenda

• Dozens of different psychic and physical abilities to manipulate and decimate your enemies

• A variety of characters that you can choose to recruit, grow close with or alienate

• A narrative about identity, the nature of the mind, and the existence of God

I got the Middle Eastern and fantasy bits from the trailer, but I felt like the steampunk was a little bit missing in action. I haven’t had time to dive into the demo, so I figure I could be wrong, my perception of steampunk is askew, or the trailer predates the steampunk influence.

I followed up with developer Craig Stern about my possible oversight. “Steam technology appears in the game primarily via the influence of The Mechanics, a large and well-funded mercenary group that hires itself out to various factions. They use steam-driven automatons in combat, as well as crossbows and a sort of primitive version of power armor. They aren’t the main antagonists in the game, but they do get hired by them. They don’t make an appearance until about three missions into the game.

“Steam technology also powers various lights and moving traps in the game, since there is no magic in the game world. The steampunk touch is a lot subtler than what you see in most games that employ it, but it’s there.”

So, there you have it! With only one day left to pre-order the full title at 20% and a free demo to try, I figured I would do DIYGamers the favor of learning about title before rather than after the discount. I will note that I am partial to Sinister Design’s company name and, well, sinister looking company logo!
