Hi Everyone, 

I just published my game https://coffeedripstudios.itch.io/arcane-dice-wars that I'm pretty proud of because I felt like I leveled up a bit from my previous Visual Novels by designing a turn based combat system. Granted it's super simple, but I think it might actually be fun to play this time. I'm afraid of extra stuff like combat and mini-games can detract from the story in VN hybrids and I had definitely failed  with some of my attempts to implement puzzles and mechanics that I tried in previous games. I based my system off trying to capture some of that feeling I get from playing DnD and rolling dice. Thanks for looking at this post. I would love to get anyone's thoughts on this and if I was successful or not.
