Hey Everyone, Danilo here.

There was an issue with a plugin we were using (the one we animated the Commanders!) so for the time being, I've removed the animation for them

but

Now we have a version that works with SteamDeck! (and/or Proton).

(and soon we will have a native Linux version as well) Our animator is already hard working on re-doing the animations in a new software, so wait for an update soon!

On other news:

• Story Mode (Prologue) is in development! And will be available on the demo;

• New Gallery updates;

• And introducing the 5th Commander: Omar "Pink Scarab" Wahid (Check the gallery for more info!) [img src="https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images/45262520/57c55dc1757795f2d6cbedd1a3fb3e8ff0a88cae.png"][/img]

Thanks, and Avante!

Patch Notes (1.0.8)

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;

  • 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

[hr][/hr]

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!

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;

Things I may or may not be able to include:

• 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;

Things I will not include:

• 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;

That's it! Expect a new demo soon! Thanks! and Avante!

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!

[ 2025-02-26 10:48:22 CET ] [ Original post ]

Hello Everyone! There has been a small update on both Demo and Early Access version! EA/Demo 1.0.2 Update: Big Updates: - 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!

[ 2024-12-12 11:37:29 CET ] [ Original post ]

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!
