Telepath Tactics - New Release Date

A new update on the Telepath Tactics website announces the new release date.

Hello, everyone! It is my pleasure to announce an official release date for Telepath Tactics: April 16, 2015. It’s been a long long journey, but the end is in sight at last!

“Now wait a minute, Craig,” you might be saying, “I remember you saying that this would be releasing in mid-March. Did you push the release back?” Your memory does not deceive you: I recently decided to push back the Telepath Tactics release a month, from March 16 to April 16. “But why would you do that, Craig? Are you behind schedule? Are you still waiting for art? Are you dealing with some sort of insurmountable technical obstacle?!” No, no, no–nothing like that. The game is finished! The art’s done, the campaign is done; all that’s left are a handful of relatively minor bugs, a smidgen of polish work, and Steam integration. In theory, I could probably release it in the next couple of weeks if I wanted to.

So why push it back? In short: for tactical reasons. I did some scouting, and–to put it bluntly–there are a metric shit-ton of games coming out in March 2015, including quite a few RPGs and turn-based strategy games. Pillars of Eternity is releasing. Bloodborne is releasing. Project S.T.E.A.M. is releasing. Worlds of Magic is releasing. Atelier Shallie is releasing. There’s even a new Final Fantasy coming out! And on top of all that, GDC and PAX happen back-to-back in March, the two of which are sufficient to tie up the press for several weeks all on their own. March is going to be a bloodbath, basically.
