Atlyss Alpha 0.1.9b Releasing 8/6/2023

Thank you for your ongoing support! A new build of the game will be releasing this sunday (8/6/2023). I've been trying to get builds out weekly but it has been difficult to do so, so I do apologize for the bi-weekly releases. 

Some things to expect:

• New Playable Race: Byrdles. This is the final playable race for the game. Now it's time for me to start planning out lore / story about every race for the future...

• New WIP map "Shamu Pass"

• Revised stat system with better EXP progression, attack / defense calculation, etc
• Skills now have better damage output calculations

• Updated UI fidelity
• New Enemy types

• Enemies now display an "attack indicator" before their hitbox shows up to better plan your combat strategies.

• Weapon Equips now have damage ranges as opposed to base attack stat upgrades
• Evasion is revised, should work a lot better for level gap difference modifiers. (Example: Hitting an enemy 5 levels above you gives less hit chance)
• Attack and Ranged Attack are now merged together as Physical Attack Damage.
• Stats no longer have short acronym names (ATK, DEF) and are fully spelled out now.
• Starting health is pushed down from 50 to 25.
• Starting Mana is pushed down from 25 to 15.
• You now gain Defense for every level alongside the Vitality Attribute bonus.
• Elemental Resistances are now fully implemented.
• Attribute points acquired each level are pushed down from 5 to 3.

• Character creation screen updated. Color tab now allows you to customize hair and misc. colors more than just Hue.
• Kubolds, Changs, and Byrdles now have voices.

• Double jumping added.

• Players now frequently pulse red when low on health.

And that's about it so far, or at least all that I can remember from development since the last build release. Hope everything works out! Take care.
