Blending my Two FAVORITE Series | Together in Battle

Together in Battle has all the depth I could want from a mechanically rich blend of FE and FFT. I think I'm addicted.

Thanks everyone, be good to each other!

Dev here--thanks so much for the video, Tom! You did a really great job covering the basics here. I'm so happy to hear you're enjoying the game. I, for one, would be delighted to see you stream the game (especially since, similarly to Unicorn Overlord, you can create custom characters based on backers!) I'll just mention that some might take issue with characterizing me as a solo dev. While I made the vast, vast majority of this game by myself, there are a few exceptions: a bunch of contract artists contributed assets for this, the game does have a composer (the brilliant Ryan Richko), and a handful of personality-specific character lines were contributed by writer Anne Toole. That said: game design, engine programming, sound design, AI, 99.99% of the writing, and so on...that was all me. 🙂

This looks really creative, good stuff!

[@sinisterdesign]

@@CoffeePotato Thank you! ❤

[@TheRobversion1]

Hey Sinister! nice to see you showcased here as well. I commented on a previous showcase of this and TTL on someone else's channel. Definitely the game is a recommend! Out of curiousity, would your games ever make it over to the switch?

[@sinisterdesign]

@@TheRobversion1 Thanks Rob! I'm looking into that; keep an eye out. 😉

[@myrmidon4464]

Just completed the demo and I'm really impressed! The ideas of mantis mounts was awesome! The komodo-folk are excellent! I'm hoping for a few more races, but I'm happy so far! Wishlisted and ready to buy it when I get paid!

[@Jasonwfd]

Interesting

[@Xaxares]

A fine addition to my collection.

[@BTrainStudio]

I really like the concept of a more economic approach to the genre. Managing money and supplies while managing your workers is a really cool concept. Hope the game does well!

[@sinisterdesign]

@@BTrainStudio Thank you, sir! I hope the next Grey Heritage does well for you, too!

[@blindcocostudios]

Had a lot of fun with Telepath Tactics Liberated, and I'm looking forward to playing Together in Battle soon!

[@sinisterdesign]

@@blindcocostudios I look forward to your impressions! ❤️

[@thelegacyofgaming2928]

The concept is good, but something about the artwork is putting me off

[@patron7906]

There is a free demo -- sometimes you play a game and find you can overlook some things. I was able to do this with Fell Seal back in the day, which this art kind of reminds me of.

[@sinisterdesign]

Depth vs. polish is just one of those trade-offs inherent to game dev. You can't have a game with billions of possible characters, each with a unique generated portrait, and have everything look as polished as it would in a game where there's a hand-designed group of one or two dozen. With that said, the style grows on you--don't let the art stop you from trying out the demo if the concept interests you! 😉

[@jumarob]

I feel the same. it jumped at me in the first minute

[@patron7906]

Free Demo available on Steam, if anyone wanted to take a peak for free

[@konstantinos-iliasstrempas4594]

nice game i however i'm saving to buy romancing saga 2 remake i'l probably buy it on cristmas

[@KingOfAquilonia]

definitely gonna give this game a try but I'd almost be more keen on them just doing generic tokens that label them as a particular unit than this art style. It's not so much the combat its the windows when they are talking , the faces that appear down in the corner just look kinda... smudged ? If that makes sense?

[@sinisterdesign]

@@KingOfAquilonia Not sure what you mean; the portraits are in a painterly art style. By "smudged," are you referring to the fact that you can see the individual brush strokes? The fact that multiple color tones are blended together?

[@mateo347]

What did that poor tree do to you man?

[@sinisterdesign]

Boxed him in--he was cutting himself a path to the enemy. 🙂

[@nicklaserbeam]

I feel like i played a demo for this game 12 years ago

[@sinisterdesign]

Heh, not likely! 😅 I started working on the beginnings of TIB's proc gen character creation system in mid-2016; I publicly announced the game for the first time in February 2020. I think the very earliest alpha demo might have been briefly available in...2021?

[@carnackketral9904]

Hah first.

[@carnackketral9904]

Well, anyways, it sounds like fun. Might have a look at it after work today

[@Muuhiro1]

just because you love both rice and pasta, doesn't meant you should ever mix them together.

[@sinisterdesign]

Koshary: it's an Egyptian delicacy, and it's delicious! You shouldn't judge new combinations of ingredients until you try them. 😉

[@IzraelGraves]

As soon as you said roguelike I was out. I'm so goddamn sick of everything being either a souls clone or a roguelike. No thanks.

[@sinisterdesign]

@@IzraelGraves It's a roguelike in the old sense: tons of replayability, with lots of variance between playthroughs. It's not a roguelike in the current, "pick between 3 things all the time" sense. It doesn't play at all like the zillions of games now calling themselves roguelikes.
