DEMO 1.1.5 RELEASE NOTES

Welcome to another necessarily long Release Notes update!

! IMPORTANT !

(REMOVED) TUTORIAL

I\'ve removed the Tutorial as it needed a way better version of it; As soon as I have a new version, I\'ll add it back!\n

(REMOVED) PT-BR Translation

For my fellows Brazilians, I want to give the best localization I can do, but I need first to finish the dialogues, texts, and don\'t want to deliver a half-assed translation. So I decided to remove it for now until I finish everything, so I can bring it back. Desculpe o transtorno!

STORY MODE & CHARACTERS

(NEW) STORY MODE DIALOGUE

[img src=\"https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/45262520/691e3913fb7f3815deba915eb22e9a6be59a14bd.png\"][/img]

Story more is still in progress, but now we have a meta dialogue between the characters talking about it! Hope you like it while we wait for the actual story mode. It shows a bit more of the personality of the characters, plus a reveal of our latest character.

(NEW) INTRO DIALOGUES

[img src=\"https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/45262520/eab92fe33082fbba3d64a7d11fdacc7823661170.gif\"][/img]

Now every match starts with some fast dialogues between characters. This are short conversations to help showing the characters personalities.

• The conversation is different depending on which Character is \"Player 1\". So Armstrong x Reiko will have a different dialogue from Reiko x Armstrong;

SPECIALS

Specials have been reworked to better fit the Commander Personality (and for balancing as well)

(UPDATED) Armstrong: Collateral Damage

Select any unit to drop a bomb on it and deal damage to it and all surrounding units:\nIf the selected unit is an enemy -> deal 30% damage;\nIf the selected unit is an ally -> it will deal 75% instead.

[img src=\"https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/45262520/567afc2250b0f3017c0e3ce026a00f3a9bff86c0.gif\"][/img]

(Developers Note: To balance this special, I\'ve made it not so powerful when you are using directly on enemies. But it could be worth sacrificing a low-health unit to deal the extra damage!)

(NEW) Amara: Chain Reaction

Select an enemy to Shock it. Lightning jumps in lines, and each shocked unit chains again.

Units hit are SHOCKED (Shocked units can\'t move, attack nor counter-attack)

[img src=\"https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/45262520/894310681e0ce90104e28f0544598338d5c1cc4e.gif\"][/img]

(Developers Note: Always check the enemy positioning before using the special. Depending on it, you can basically have a free turn attacking all enemy units with no drawbacks!)

(NEW) Reiko: Thorned Runaway

Place 5 tile wall of impassable Thorns: all units caught are ENTANGLED until next turn.

(Entangled units cannot move, but can attack/counter-attack)

[img src=\"https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/45262520/e16e02350185175faae70f969d42631f9ceefcec.gif\"][/img]

(Developers Note: Time it correctly to entangle most of enemy units, or block their way to reach an objective. Just watch out not to entagle your own!)

(NEW) Vihaan: Castling

Note: Vihaan was playable during Playtest, But won\'t be for the demo.

Select 2 allied units to swap places. Both are healed 50%.

[img src=\"https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/45262520/77ed93f2add7b4b36d489a871b453dc18bade5f9.gif\"][/img]

(Developers Note: This special is based on the Chess move: Castling, if it was not obvious)

\nDICE

(UPDATED) DICE THROW

[img src=\"https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/45262520/d982e0f58dcdb4e626135de4c8fa1cee74673a0f.png\"][/img]

Dice throws have been updated after some feedback As a reminder, the Main Battle Die D20 adds or subtracts the face value from the base attack. It has:

• 5 Faces with a 0 (25%);

  [/*]

• 5 Faces with a 3 (25%);

  [/*]

• 4 Faces with a 5 (20%);

  [/*]

• 3 Faces with a 10 (15%);

  [/*]

• 2 Faces with a 15 (10%);

  [/*]

• 1 Face with a 25 (5%);\n

  [/*]

Before (Basically, closer to green would guarantee a bigger number)

RED

ORANGE

YELLOW

GREEN

Possible Results

0, 3, 5, 10, 15, 25

3, 5, 10, 15, 25

5, 10, 15, 25

10, 15, 25

Now

RED

ORANGE

YELLOW

GREEN

Possible Results

0, 3

3, 5, 10, 15

5, 10, 15, 25

15, 25

Meaning that hitting RED or ORANGE is a bit more punishing, while hitting YELLOW or GREEN is more rewarding!

DAMAGE

(UPDATED) Terrain Defense Math

[img src=\"https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/45262520/1fb45ace99cd9f5922f05102b07d9669913bd22c.png\"][/img]

Previous, terrain defense would only remove the number from the base attack of the attacker \n(so if the base attack was 40 and the defense was +2, the result would be 40 - 2 = 38)

Now, Defense is in percentage!. Meaning that now if a base attack is 40, and defense is +2 (meaning, 20% extra defense) , the math would be 40 - (20% of 40) = 32!

Another example with +4 Defense and a base attack of 40.

Before: 40 - 4 = 36;

Now: 40 - (40% of 40) = 24\n\nThis makes terrains with bigger defense more valuable!

(UPDATED) Overall Damage for Sniper, Missiles, Artillery, Laser.

[img src=\"https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/45262520/adfc8c316d751590b7ce01d2c375f80354b19d89.png\"][/img]

Ranged units, now deal way less damage to Infantry Type Units (Scout, Infantry, Flame, Bazooka, Sniper)

This is balancing to make ranged units not so OP.

GALLERY

The next big update, 1.2.0, will feature the Prologue and will be the last important update for the demo.

After that I\'ll focus on the main game with all it\'s features.

(NEW) Game Mode: Tile Clash

[img src=\"https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/45262520/093823e83bbd598cc911cfb7f4de05460862adbe.png\"][/img]\nDuring playtests, players test a new game mode called Tile Clash, where you would randomly place terrain pieces in a board, and when it\'s finished, you would play the constructed board.

While the players like it, there\'s much I need to refine to bring a better game mode in general. So please, stay tuned for the next play test! I can only improve so much without feedback from you!

Other topics that will be done for the demo in the future

• (Proper) Tutorials

  [/*]

• Overall balancing and QoL updates;

  [/*]

• UI Adjustments;

  [/*]

And that\'s a wrap! Hope you like the new updates!

Thanks again,\nand Avante!

Ingrid is a forensic prodigy who treats the battlefield like a crime scene: methodical, silent, and unnervingly precise. While others lead with force, she leads with deduction, always a step ahead.

Cold and analytical, she keeps everyone at a distance. Her goal is simple: uncover the truth behind the rise of Atlantis.

Hello everyone, Danilo here, creator of Avante! Atlantis

First of all, I'd like to thank everyone who played the demo, for all the feedback and love sent.
I've been developing Avante! Atlantis solo for about 1 year now. When I mean solo, I mean I do 90% of the project, while the others 10% I have help from friends and freelancers, so I want to publicly thank all the people who have helped me:

• Luiz Carlos de Gino for stylized Character Designs;

  [list]

• Leo Ross for helping with Character Emotions (Not yet in game!)

  [/*]

• Roberta B. Giorgi for the cute Nation Emblems Logos;

  [/*]

• Guilherme Nogueira de S for helping me with Character Profiles and Story;

  [/*]

• Andreas Karnung for the awesome Music;

  [/*]

• Thami Nakamura for the wiggly Characters Animations;

  [/*]

• Karol Orttiz for Amara and Reiko placeholder voices; (Not yet in game!)

  [/*]

• And everyone else on our discord! Love you guys steamhappy

  [/*]

I'm closely reading everything and every feedback, so please, don't hesitate in sending one! I'm all ears and I want to make a better game together with the community.

Now without further ado, here is the change list for the Demo 1.0.5

DEMO 1.0.5

MAJOR UPDATES

New Commander revealed!

• The youngest ever Chess Grand Master from the nation of Amethyst Tigers: Vihaan Sharma.

  [/*]

• WHAT a kid is doing for fighting for Atlantis? Doesn't make sense!

  The battle for Atlantis is unlike any conflict the world has seen. This isnt a war of strength - its a clash of brilliant minds. Only the sharpest strategists from each nation have been chosen. Here, victory belongs not to the strongest, but to the smartest.

  [/*]

• Vihaan and the next strategists will not be available to play on the demo, but will be on the Gallery!

  [/*]

UPDATE SETTINGS MENU

• Both in the main menu and in battle!

  [/*]

• Settings menu also have a "Apply Settings" button;

  [/*]

• Added Cursor Sensitivity;

  [/*]

NEW DICE POWER METER AND ANIMATION

• Now dice values will appear above the dice when it finishes and animate towards the base attack;

  [/*]

• Power meter was redesigned to be more intuitive:

  [list]

• Red: 1/20 chance of a 25

  [/*]

• Orange: 1/15 chance of a 25

  [/*]

• Yellow: 1/10 chance of a 25

  [/*]

• Green: 1/6 chance of a 25 (will shiny if you hit!)

  [/*]

(SIMPLE) BATTLE TUTORIAL

• Just something for now while we make the playable version

  [/*]

UNITS AND TILE CHEAT SHEET

• Based on feedback from the community;

  [/*]

• Accessible only during battles, from the pause menu;

  [/*]

MAPS UPDATES

• Cacti Forest and Mirage on Desert;

  [/*]

• Mirage on Desert was just a small update to make the map more dynamic;

  [/*]

• Cacti Forest was redesigned to be smaller;

  [/*]

MINOR UPDATES/FIXES

• Tutorial texts can now be skipped with LMB, instead of just spacebar;

  [/*]

• Fixed a small issue when you would kill a unit, but would receive at least 1 damage back;

  [/*]

KNOWN BUGS

• Settings menu can't be navigated with controllers. We are solving this issue as fast as we can;

  [/*]

• There is a small chance of menus disappearing when changing cameras in the main menu. (forcing you to quit the game). I wasn't able to reproduce it, but if someone did and record it, would be great!

  [/*]

Hello everyone!
I've made a small decision to remove the demo from now from Steam, due it's not representing the current state of the game.

In the following month, my goal is to produce a new demo which would be the "almost" definite one.

My goal in the demo is to include:

• The new Board Style/combat that I've been working on and showing on the discord;
• Maps for the 3 Biomes (Plains, Desert, Snow) (Up to 10 maps), Using it's basic system (Terrain will just give you def and movement restrictions, In the future I plan to have some extra terrains that will do different stuff, like healing, trapping for 1 turn, give damage, etc..);
• Single Player (vs AI) and PvP (basically the current state, due Local or Steam Remote Play);
• Maps with pre-deployed units;
• Not all units available: Still couple of them I need to work on:
• Expect 100% this units: Infantry, Flamethrower, Bazooka, Sniper, ARV, Hover, Spider, Missiles, IFV, Tank, Artillery, Defender, Inferno
• Don't expect at all this units: Transport, Ram, Ballistic, Magnet, Drill, Mega;
• 50%/50% Expect: Scout
• Select your Team Color/Nation;
  

• 1 Procedural Random Map (to see if people like it the randomness);
• Some Updated SFX for units;
• Maps with Build your Units System (and including the below)
• Basic Conquering Buildings Functionality;
• Basic Income Functionality (Get $ each turn by the amount of buildings you have, so you can buy new units);
• Basic Victory conditions- Conquer HQ , Destroying all enemy units and Surrender;
  

• Story mode;
• Commanders (we are still finishing commander 2 (out of 8) so they will take a bit while);
• Nation/Commander Powers;
• More work on the Main Menus (just basic adjustments);
• New Music
• Map Creator;
  

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.

And here are they:

- I'll do my best to finish the game without story mode by the end of this year;
- There will be Multiplayer Local and Online, plus Single Player (Player vs Computer);
- Ideally we will have a map creator, but I'm leaving that for last;
- There will be a total of 8 Commanders, based on 8 Nations (which are Work in Progress);
- There will be a total of 20 Units. Naval and Air Units were removed due time constrains (but nothing stops me to add them in a later update or DLC);


On the World:
- There will be 8 teams/nations: Ruby Jaguars, Garnet Eagles, Jade Foxes, Opal Sharks, Sapphire Lions,
Amethyst Tigers, Spinel Cobras and Obsidian Ravens;
- Here's a world map of the game. This will be more used on the Story Mode!


On the Commanders:
- I'm still writing them, but we already have 1 totally defined and with art!

Meet Thaddeus Armstrong, General of the Army of the Garnet Eagles!
Ruthless, he will do anything to achieve his goal!

On the Units:
- There game will feature this units, and this is the damage/defense chart of it, where: Dark Red is Useless, Red is Worst, Oragen is Bad, Yellow is Moderated (50%+-), Green is Good, Blue is Awesome and Pink is Overkill against it.
- Some of this arts are Placeholders, so don't worry about it

Here are the currently ones with almost/or already finished art:

And I think that's it for now. Development is going well, some people are helping me with some areas, so hopefully it all goes smooth!

Thanks, and Avante!

Hello Everyone!

There has been a small update on both Demo and Early Access version!

[b]EA/Demo 1.0.2 Update:

Big Updates:[/b]
- Removed the Desert Map, and replaced for a new map;


- Added the ARV Unit (only on the new map). Good on movement! But it can be obliterated by tanks and bazookas;


- Added a small pop-up display to show the amount of damage you will give and receive back;


Other Updates:
- Fixed a game crashing bug when the battle would crash if you destroyed a unit before it could attack;
- Translations update;
- Made the Dice Roll show the number slightly faster;
- Made units die/explode in battle instead of just dying;

Thanks and Avante!

Hello Everyone!

Wanted to let you know that the demo is finally live with a small update patch!

Demo 1.0.1 Update:
-Added Shared Keyboard option. This will allow users to play using the same keyboard/mouse, even when using Remote Steam Play. Throwing the dice will become the press of a button in that situation. (this is valid for sharing same controller as well!);
-Wrapped some texts to fit in the screen on some languages;
-Pause Menu can show be exit by pressing ESC or Pause Button on the Controller;
-Sometime when using the controller DPAD and Thumbstick, the cursor might become misaligned. I've updated the code so now DPADs and Thumbstick use the same code;
-Ukrainian/French Localization Updates;
-Fixed error when health keeps disappearing after battles. Now health is always shown, but you can toggle off if you wish during your turn;
-Added a small text when changing turns, to show what turn you are on (Starts at Turn 1);
-Reduced timer for Dice to show the number (from 5s to 4s);
-Made dice "collision" effect happens more often;
-Added variable to your save file about selected language, so you don't need to keep selecting the language every time you open the game! (The Welcome Screen will still show up);

Submitting this game demo was a personal achievement for myself, so I'd love to hear from you! So if you liked the demo, please consider writing a review!

Or alternatively you can join our Discord , where you can check updates, give feedback, suggestions etc...

Thanks and Avante!

Hello Everyone!

I wanted to inform that the Demo for the Early Access of Avante! Atlantis will be release on the 29/11/2024!

Initially, the demo will contain:

- 2-Player Games only. There will be no AI/Computer opponent at this stage;

- Controller Only gameplay. I'm also working to see how I can implement keyboard gameplay with 2 local players;

- Local Play and Remote Play Together only . Play via internet with other will come in a later update;

- Localization: Only English. But I'll be working to add Portuguese-Brazil, Spanish, French and Japanese ASAP;

- 3 Maps;

- 3 Unit Types (Infantry, Bazooka and Tank);

- 2 ways of winning: Defeating all Units or Reaching the opponent HQ;

- Settings: Window Mode, Resolution, BGM/SFX/UI Sound Volumes;

- Accessibility: Color-blind Settings;
-----
This demo purpose is to bring the gameplay to be available to all and to get feedback. After couple of weeks, I pretend to release the Early Access version, in which I'll keep updating with new maps, units, gameplay, etc... as we progress. The demo will later be update to reflect new mechanics/graphics/gameplay.

I really hope everyone has a chance of playing Avante! Atlantis.

Story Mode will come much later, but I have lots of things planned, so stay tuned!

Any feedback and comments are appreciated!

Thanks and Avante!

Hello everyone!

I'm Danilo, the solo-dev for Avante! Atlantis.

Thanks for all the amazing support that everyone gave me through the social medias.
This is finally a dream come true for me.

Now let's talk game.

For this updates, I'll try my best to keep updates here weekly. I have everything planned for this game so development should go smooth.

Soon we will have our first build of the game, which will feature the following things:

- 3 Maps: 2 Plains and 1 Desert biome;
- 2 Teams: Red and Blue;
- Predefined Units on Maps (No spawning new units for now);
- Units: Basic Infantry, Mechanized Infantry, Tank, Supply Truck, and Truck
- Basic Settings (e.g.: Mouse Sensitivity, Screen size, etc..);
- Basic Tutorial before a match;
- Basic SFX and BGM;
- Basic Combat iteration;

This will be the first of many updates of the early access stage of Avante! Atlantis.

My goal is to test with you guys the basic gameplay and balancing of units/terrain and multiplayer.

As an extra, here is a couple of things I have planned for future updates:
- Air and Naval Units;
- New terrain tiles (water, river, canyon...);
- More maps;
- Online PvP (based on P2P connection for now);
- and more!

That will be for now!
