Sinister Design @sinisterdesign.net · 15/03/2026Lol, wowww. The disrespect! I wonder if this guy's strategy is to goad developers into responding with a well-earned "fuck off," only to claim that they accepted the terms of the offer by replying to the email? 242
Sinister Design @sinisterdesign.net · 17/11/2025New Together in Battle review: "Wish more TTRPG's had telepath system's range of tactical options when it comes to positioning, shifting positions and terrain!...Easy recommend if you're at all into tactics, be glad to see this game get more attention." steamcommunity.com/profiles/765... 030
Sinister Design @sinisterdesign.net · 01/08/2025I love this review not because of the review itself, but because of the hours played. Wow! 🤯 180
Sinister Design @sinisterdesign.net · 15/05/2025Man. I've received *so many* key request scam emails over the past 9 days (26 of them over the past 48 hours alone), but this one is my favorite: the guy pretending to be Hasan Piker--of all people--while quietly hoping that I don't notice the extra "i" in his email address. Lol. Nice try, bro. 020

Sinister Design @sinisterdesign.net · 06/05/2025Strategy RPG fans: do go to sleep 💤, but do NOT sleep on Together in Battle. Out in version 1.0 tomorrow at 2 PM Central Standard Time! ➡️ store.steampowered.com/app/1267210/... 080
Sinister Design @sinisterdesign.net · 29/04/2025Together in Battle releases to version 1.0 in one week... 1111
Sinister Design @sinisterdesign.net · 14/04/2025Please cite *any* source showing that the Democrats campaigned on demonizing legal residents as "illegal," or invoking war powers to deport immigrants without due process. Trump did both. 100
Sinister Design @sinisterdesign.net · 14/04/2025Accidentally sent half my team off on a caravan mission right before a scheduled match. Outnumbered 6-4, I still managed to pull off a win by taking advantage of the terrain and playing to my characters' strengths! 🙂 ➡️ store.steampowered.com/app/1267210/... #TogetherInBattle #indiegame 1143
Sinister Design @sinisterdesign.net · 14/04/2025Yeah...and so were these. These aren't the same thing, and only a complete moron would think that they are. 100
Sinister Design @sinisterdesign.net · 06/04/2025...okay, apparently you have to upload animated gifs as *videos* on Bluesky. Noted! 😅 040
Sinister Design @sinisterdesign.net · 06/04/2025Together in Battle launches to version 1.0 in exactly 30 days! To prepare, I just pushed a surprise update with a few critical bug fixes; drag-and-drop inventory management; a world map; new dialogue; new healing items; a new animation for Vengeance; and more! store.steampowered.com/news/app/126... 171
Sinister Design @sinisterdesign.net · 03/04/2025Fun thing about Together in Battle: you can make custom characters! Design them with a name, portrait, personality, growths, even dialogue: the game will bring them into the world to fight, level up, and develop relationships with your other units! 😃 ➡️ store.steampowered.com/app/1267210/... 031
Sinister Design @sinisterdesign.net · 28/03/2025If you see this, repost with an image you saved because it made you laugh 171
Sinister Design @sinisterdesign.net · 27/03/2025A long-requested feature has now made it into Together in Battle: drag-and-dropping items to outfit your characters and manage supplies! 030
Sinister Design @sinisterdesign.net · 24/03/2025It's been more than a decade since I last created a world map for inclusion in one of my games, but I felt inspired to create one for Together in Battle. Here's the isle of Dese, where Together in Battle takes place! 170
Sinister Design @sinisterdesign.net · 13/02/2025Thanks for hosting #TurnBasedThursday! Together in Battle is an SRPG with deep tactical battles, random events, and a relationship sim layer! Solve a royal conspiracy; fight in the arena; keep your characters happy. Up to EA version 0.9.30 with free demo! ➡️ store.steampowered.com/app/1267210/... 1131
Sinister Design @sinisterdesign.net · 05/02/2025Occasionally, I run across fan art of Telepath characters--as a developer, these are some of my very favorite things! 😀 In that vein, here are some awesome drawings of Arman from 2012's Telepath RPG: Servants of God I was just sent today. [Artist: Tisbore] 150
Sinister Design @sinisterdesign.net · 09/01/2025Thanks for hosting #TurnBasedThursday! I'm making Together in Battle, a fantasy gladiator SRPG with deep tactics, vibrant characters, random events, team management mechanics, and emergent relationship-building. Now up to version 0.9.10 w/ a free demo! ⚔️ store.steampowered.com/app/1267210/... 151
Sinister Design @sinisterdesign.net · 28/11/2024The indie game I'm making and three of the inspirations behind it! ➡️ store.steampowered.com/app/1267210/... 220
Sinister Design @sinisterdesign.net · 28/11/2024All done! I'm quite happy with how this one turned out; you have to race the shop owner to a room in the back of the map and keep him from destroying key evidence while groups of guards stand in your way. (You can't just kill him, either--you need to capture him alive for questioning. 😉) 020
Sinister Design @sinisterdesign.net · 26/11/2024I've finally reached that point in the monthly update cycle where I've squared away the new bug fixes, balance fixes, random events and dialogue, and it's time to sit down and crank out a new hand-designed battle! 😃 (Thank goodness Past Craig coded this map editor; it makes it go *so* much faster.) 3121
Sinister Design @sinisterdesign.net · 21/11/2024Happy #TurnBasedThursday, thanks for hosting! I'm making Together in Battle, a fantasy gladiator SRPG with deep tactics, vibrant characters, funny random events, team management mechanics, and emergent relationship-building. In early access with a free demo! ⚔️ store.steampowered.com/app/1267210/... 0223
Sinister Design @sinisterdesign.net · 13/11/2024🎉 I'm excited to say that my last SRPG--Telepath Tactics Liberated--is joining the #TurnBasedCarnival on Steam today through November 20th! Grab it on deep discount and enjoy equally deep turn-based tactics! ♟️😃🎮 store.steampowered.com/app/1849820/... 1110
Sinister Design @sinisterdesign.net · 13/11/2024Very productive today! Perhaps the single brightest spot: improving Together in battle's item-sorting algorithm. Just *look* at all that lovely, correctly-sorted armor in the shop--first by body part, then by mastery type, then by name! 140
Sinister Design @sinisterdesign.net · 09/11/2024Greetings, new followers/Twitter refugees! I'm Craig--I've been making games since 2006. Currently: Together in Battle, a fantasy SRPG with vibrant characters, funny random events, team management mechanics, and emergent relationship-building.

Sinister Design @sinisterdesign.net · 04/11/2024It's so nice to see people appreciating the writing and mechanical depth in Together in Battle. Here are a couple of my favorite recent Steam reviews! 🙂 store.steampowered.com/app/1267210/... 050
Sinister Design @sinisterdesign.net · 03/11/2024I had a blast yesterday showing off Together in Battle at local Chicago indie game showcase "CIGS." The place was positively packed! (People were also very complimentary about Together in Battle, which was nice.) 0112
Sinister Design @sinisterdesign.net · 01/10/2024Guess what's in #Steam Turn-Based RPG Fest? That's right: Together in Battle! With a newly updated demo, now's a better time than ever to check out this mechanically rich and challenging fantasy-gladiator SRPG: ⚔️ store.steampowered.com/app/1267210/... #indiegames 051
Sinister Design @sinisterdesign.net · 13/12/2023My favorite new additions in this update are the knockback path and collision damage previews, but the *Secret Character* is probably the coolest. 🙂 010
Sinister Design @sinisterdesign.net · 30/09/2023Why yes, I *am* working on Together in Battle this morning! Why do you ask? store.steampowered.com/app/1267210/... #screenshotsaturday 020
