The dice is flappy at the moment, but that could be a vibe 😆

Prototyped a lil thing with dice rolls, skill checks, an explorable map and combat. It's SUPER PLACEHOLDERY at the moment but... it works ✨

I added character customization, combat classes and field skills.

I'm liking this way too much🤡

I implemented a simple 2d10 skill check system to an inky project, to test the language, and liked it enough to add "turn based" combat.

🤡 I know what I'll keep working on...
