Tenderfoot Tactics News

Hi Steam! Been a minute.

We've just announced that we're going to be showing something new and big in GamesRadar's Future Games Show this Friday (👀💦) so you should probably be excited about that!! Inevitably we'll update you over here too, but it might be fun to watch it live.

Also, enjoy this freshly minted gameplay deep dive, in which Isa plays an early game combat, talking through some of the different basic systems in the game and how they impact strategy. We hope to do more videos of this kind, so let us know what you like about it, and what you'd like to know more about!

And finally, we've also recently announced that we're now running a private beta on the Ice Water Games discord. We'll be letting just a few people in per week from now until release. If you'd like to help out, head over to the discord, assign yourself the ⚔tenderfoot⚔ role, and look in the pins of the #dev chat to find our volunteer-soliciting post.

Okay that's all for now! The game's getting *real* good. Can't wait to show you more.

Come chill with us while we play through our demo and answer questions!

Isa (Systems Design, Writing) will be playing, and Badru (Code, Art, Writing, Design, Project Direction) will be hanging out on voice chat. Other team members may or may not attend. A mystery!!!

Ok see you soon!

Festival of the Spirit is a short (maybe a couple hours) demo of some of Tenderfoot's core systems, themed as a short prequel story that takes place long before the events of the main game.

[h3]Featuring:[/h3]

• Our novel grid-based combat system, inspired by Final Fantasy Tactics
  
• Songs that grow plants, fire arrows, and other nature-manipulating abilities
  
• Preview of Tenderfoot Tactics' town system, including a town hoard and dyers
  
• A small island of the archipelago, covered with herbs and berries to pick

Because the main game is quite long, and it takes some time for players to learn the systems enough to engage with the higher level classes, this demo mainly focuses on the starting goblin breed, although several other evolutions are available to play as or against.

We hope you enjoy this thing we've made for you!

Join Isa and Badru for a livestream on 6/16 at 4pm PDT!

We'll be streaming straight to the game's Steam page, but feel free to join us on Discord to discuss before and after the event!

It's the yearly Festival of the Spirit and this time, the grand prize is yours, you just know it! A small prequel story to Tenderfoot Tactics, an open world tactics RPG.

We'll likely be announcing Q&A and livestream events that'll take place during the Festival, so be sure to follow Tenderfoot Tactics so you don't miss out!
