Hey yall! Just working on a fan game. Its art and cozy style of game play had inspirations of course from and another fan game called LoS "Legends of Sinnoh".

I'm still in the early days of development since it's only me working on the project at the moment, but! To give a brief overview of what the game will be about here's this post!

What's The Goal of The Game?
A region has just been discovered while you and the other players have been tasked to explore these untouched lands, but it wouldn't be much of a cozy monster catching adventure without Pokémon! Before starting your journey the next day a worldwide migration of Pokémon had been making their way to that region..... As if... Someone or something calls to them.

Dice Catching/Collecting -
The main course of this game isn't your typical "Magikarp N Chip". To develop your character, your actions, and to build your very own dice engine. You'll be collection relics that had never been seen before... or that's just my left over water from the other day, over 500 Pokémon that offer their own take on a type of dice roll.

>What Are Dices Used For?
They are used to build up victory points, to collect more pokemon, fight off unknown surprises, and a multitude of out of combat checks that all collect during the end of round "Roll Phase".

The Many Dice To Be Hold!
Currently there are four types of sources to obtain dice from. Those are Pokemon, Perks, Items and Relics.

Poke Die -
If you are familiar with Pokémon, these dice translate to your combat dice. Each pokemon can hold up to four dice following the pokemon standard of at least being able to learn the move aka "to collect the die". Though! Not all Pokémon are treated equal. Pokemon with three total evolutions and within their first one are only permitted to roll one of their die that's been collected during combat. Each increase in their evolution stage allows them to roll additional die that was collected. This means that pokemon with few evolutions are able to roll more dice starting off, but are much harder to collect.

Dice don't just roll numbers, they also cause effects, have counters, and can combo. If you ever get a little to overwhelmed keep in mind that based on the Pokémon typing of the die will tend to follow a similar feel or mechanic to other die that share the same typing.

The final thing to note! All "Poke Die" are rolled during the combat phase of the round if any occured.

Perks & Perk Die -
When we mention perks within this game. We are talking about "Profession Perks". These are paths you can take during your journey in the unknown region to help yourself or even your teammates if you are doing a co-operative run. To obtain a perk, you have to be lucky to find that very "Rare Candy" and when munched on it gives you a burst of inspiration. Which you use to gain one random out of three perks based on the profession you chose to put that inspiration into.

All professions can only hold a total of six perks per profession, but you are able to obtain a new one while giving up one if currently at six already. There may be times you run into the same perk, but don't just throw it way since you already have one. Cause if you do, you'll be able to increase the perks value by one star! An once you obtain three stars with one perk it becomes a "Shiny Perk" offering additional bonuses.

Perks play a heavy role in grating you access to new action types, encounters, and rewards. Just like how Poke Die have similar functions based on the die typing profession have similar perk functions based on the profession..

Items & Relics -
Well we did mention "Rogue-Lite"! Items are typically rewards gained through actions or during the end of a "Day". They are passives or triggerable effects that persist on you through out the game unless stated other wise by the item it's self. If you look at the Poke Die being the source dice within the game that you'll build up and perks being the way to gain variety and options. Items and relics are the conditions that help guide you with your playstyle for the current game.

Relics are just more impactful items, but tend to effect most players or even the game its self.

Thank you all!
I appreciate everyone who has taken the time to read this and even give feedback or just chat up about future mechanics I'll be introducing, like the "Terra Meter" feature or even the "Untrustworthy" relic..

Though I'll be leaving it there until I'm ready to reveal even more progress.

>PS. This is a non profit game, purely a fan based and Pokémon inspired board game, Anyone is free to mess around and make their on iterations, but do not try to make money off of this. It is for those who wish to enjoy good company while rolling dice and catching Pokémon.
