DEMO UPDATE 1.1.8 1. Dice System ReworkThe dice system was due for a rework. The previous version had too many elements: decisions, skill checks and even after a week of experimenting, the dice clash mechanic never really found its place.So... meet the new Dice System!1a. One Die to Rule them AllOne of the biggest changes is that combat now uses a single die, rolled by the attacker (This also means the defender, like in most turn-based games, does not need to take any action during the attacker's turn.)1b. Charge It...or Don't!You can charge and aim your roll...or simply roll right away!(This function is entirely cosmetic, just adding a bit more drama to the moment.) 1c. The Critical, the Counter,…

Hello Everyone! Just wanted to keep you updated on how development on Avante! Atlantis is going. During January, I've been researching and trying to set up in stone some things.
