Updating environments and effects

[h2]Greetings, Shifters! โœŠ[/h2]

We have some exciting new updates to share with you all. Our team has been making some progress on various fronts, and weโ€™re thrilled to give you a sneak peek into our progress ๐Ÿ˜€

[h3]๐Ÿชจ Caves[/h3]
Weโ€™ve updated our cave environments, adding a bit more life to them. What do you think?



[h3]โฌ†๏ธ Level up effect[/h3]
A lot of you mentioned that it's hard to notice the level up pop-up in the middle of the fight. We added a new animation to make it more visible!



[h3]๐Ÿชž Character portraits[/h3]
Weโ€™re making steady progress in creating new character portraits. We've recently shared the portraits of all seven beasts. Check that out if you missed it:

Now we're working on portraits of our human characters. Hang on tight, we'll reveal them soon!

Overall, weโ€™re putting a lot of effort into updating environments, refining skills and effects, and improving localization. Of course, bug fixing has been a major focus, too ๐Ÿ˜… Oh, and weโ€™re just about to start working with talented voice actors to bring the main story dialogues to life!

Casual Day with Lilly

[h2]Greetings, Shifters! โœŠ[/h2]

In anticipation of future updates, I decided to revisit Coridden. I started with a walk through Quilon's streets and then took a boat to explore distant shores.

[h3]Here's a casual day with Lilly. Enjoy the screenshots![/h3]
Every adventure starts from leaving home. Our neighbour needed a bit of help. I watched the boats float in our little bay. I wasn't sure what she was looking at, so I came closer to investigate. It was potatoes. I attended some business in the main square. Then I immediately went to sell the valuables I traded earlier. I wished I could pet him, but he wasn't mine. These fish look dangerous. Like everything outside the city. I took a boat and went for a swim. Then I got attacked! Fortunately, I'm skilled with bow and spear! I explored some more, but got surrounded by beasts. So I turned into one. That didn't go too well... So I decided to change my equipment. That'll show them... next time!

Exciting Updates and Enhancements!

[h2]Greetings, Shifters! โœŠ[/h2]

August is coming to an end, but it's not yet over for us! After showing Coridden at Gamescom in Germany, we're sending it off to the US for PAX West!
https://steamcommunity.com/games/1656930/announcements/detail/4255424837726846472

But that's not all! We're lucky to participate in this year's indie event at the venue โ€” The MIX!

We've also got some updates rolling in, and we can't wait to share them with you! Our recent playtesting session was a success, and your feedback has been invaluable! We've been busy fixing bugs based on it, and working on completing the game's areas, environments, texts, and translationsโ€”it's all slowly coming together ๐Ÿ˜Š

To ramp up both challenge and fun, we decided to try out some changes to skills, items, and gameplay elements. Here's a peek at what's new:

[h3]๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ New Defence Stat for Armours[/h3]
Armours (including beast forms) will now have a Defence stat. Defence is compared to the Level of the attacker. If you have a high defence, it will decrease incoming damage. Having a low defence compared to attacker level might lead to more damage taken.

We wanted to include this stat as something that every armour can provide to protect you better, even if that armour doesn't have damage resistance or reduction. This allows for more varied armours, such as an armour providing more ability power or energy regeneration instead of just protection.

[h3]๐Ÿฉธ Wound Healing[/h3]
Selected armours will now have a Wound Healing stat, allowing players to regenerate health while outside of combat.

[h3]๐Ÿช™ Adjusted Death Penalties[/h3]
Players will now lose money upon death, and the time required to revive an ally has increased slightly from 1 second to 2 seconds, adding a touch more challenge.

[h3]๐Ÿ’ฐ Economy Adjustments[/h3]
We've reduced the overall money drops from enemies to make a more balanced in-game economy. We hope that as a result, completing quests will feel more rewarding and crucial to progression.

[h3]โš–๏ธ Weapon Damage Balancing[/h3]
We've adjusted both ranged and melee weapon damages to maintain a consistent challenge throughout the game.

[h3]๐Ÿฒ Beast Form Items Drop Rate[/h3]
We've increased the drop chance for beast form items.

[h3]๐Ÿ—ก๏ธ Expanded Inventory[/h3]
We've added more inventory space, allowing players to carry more of their hard-earned loot.



[h3]โฌ†๏ธ Enhanced Damage Resistance for Enemies[/h3]
Enemies' damage resistances will now scale with higher difficulty levels and with more players in multiplayer mode. This change encourages varied playstyles and strategic builds among players tackling tougher challenges together.

[h3]๐ŸŸ  Improved Item Comparison and Stats Display[/h3]
๐Ÿ”ธDamage is now compared directly, regardless of damage type, helping players make quicker, more informed decisions.
๐Ÿ”ธ If an item has more than one damage type, a total damage value will be displayed alongside a breakdown of each damage type's contribution.
๐Ÿ”ธWe've reorganized item stat displays to highlight the most important stats at the top, followed by a clear break before the rest, to streamline the comparison process.



We want to make the game exciting and fun for you every step of the way! Your feedback means the world to us and helps us create this adventure together. Thanks for sticking with us, and keep an eye out for more updates as we keep building and improving โค๏ธ
