From Quests to Tunes! 🐲

[h2]Greetings, Shifters! ✊[/h2]

We’re excited to share what we’ve been up to over the past month as we gear up for our upcoming alpha testing. Here’s a peek behind the curtain at the latest developments:

[h3]A lot of side-quests! πŸ“œ[/h3]
We've been busy adding and implementing a bunch of new side-quests. These quests are designed to enrich your journey and offer more depth to our world. We can’t wait for you to dive in and discover all the hidden stories and adventures we’ve crafted, but of course, that's all we can reveal for now πŸ˜‰

[h3]Environment Enhancements 🌿[/h3]
Our environments are getting some love too! We’ve touched up the Quilon Outskirts, a new area that hasn’t been included before. Here are some sneak-peaks:



[h3]Music for Your Ears 🎡[/h3]
Music is a huge part of creating an immersive experience, and we’ve been hard at work implementing new soundtracks. This month, we focused on exploration music. Our goal is to make you feel like you’re stepping into a beautiful, exotic world filled with both wonder and danger. Whether you’re wandering through nature or exploring ancient buildings, we want the music to reflect the mystery and excitement of your journey ✨ Would you like to hear some of it? Let us know in the comment section below!

[h3]New Icons ✏️[/h3]
We’ve also been updating and implementing new icons throughout the game! Take a look at some of theΒ Skill Icons - active ones will have a rectangular frame, and passive ones - circular 😊



[h3]Main Menu Makeover πŸ”¨[/h3]
Our Main Menu got significant improvements for the overall experience. We’ve reworked it to be more intuitive and user-friendly, making it easier for you to jump into the game and start your adventure! πŸƒ

We’re thrilled with the progress we’ve made this month and can’t wait to share more updates with you soon. Stay tuned!

Damage Effects & Implementing Crocolisk

[h2]Greetings, Shifters! ✊[/h2]

We've been hard at work this month and have some exciting updates to share with you all. Here's a quick rundown of what we've been up to:

[h3]🐲 Side-Quests & Levels[/h3]
We've been busy implementing new side-quests and fixing up levels to make your adventures even more thrilling. Expect some fresh challenges and smoother gameplay!

[h3]🐲 Items & VFX[/h3]
New items have been added to the game, and we've also been enhancing the visual effects. Your battles are about to get a lot more visually stunning!

[h3]🐲 Environment Fixes[/h3]
Our team has been diligently fixing up the environment to ensure everything looks and feels just right. Immersion is key, and we want you to feel like you're truly part of this world.

[h3]🐲 Damage Status Effects[/h3]
We've added more VFX to show when you or an enemy is affected by a damage status effect. This should make it easier to see what kind of damage an enemy has and make it feel more impactful when they’re engulfed by an element upon defeat. It’s all about that extra flair!

[h3]
🐲 Crocolisk Implementation[/h3]
The Crocolisk, one of our Kickstarter stretch goals, now has a full skill tree! While there are still a few animations that need tweaking, it’s fully playable. This beast boasts some unique water-themed skills. For instance, it can make enemies "wet", causing them to take more electric damage but a bit less heat damage. Perfect for those strategic elemental combos!

[h2]New moves[/h2]

[h3]Charged Pounce[/h3]

[h3]Deadly Spin[/h3]


[h2]Damage types and stacking effects[/h2]
In our discord we had some interesting discussion around damage types and effect stacking lately, and questions about how it works in Coridden came up. For you who are interested, here is a quick overview for how damage over time and damage status effects currently work:

Damage over time stacks. So if you successfully scorch an enemy with 10 dmg for 4 sec and then successfully scorch the same enemy 2 seconds later with 5 dmg for 2 sec, the enemy will take 15 damage for the remaining 2 seconds. However, the debuff from the damage status effect does not stack. For example, a scorched enemy always takes 50% more physical damage no matter how many "stacks" of scorch it has. Concerning area of effect (AOE) damage, if an enemy stands in 2 AOE attacks it will take damage from both. It works in the same way for both singleplayer and multiplayer.
More than inflict damage over time, each status effect also debuff enemies in different ways:

🩸 Bleeding: enemies take additional elemental damage.
βš—οΈ Poison: prevents enemies from healing.
⚑ Shock: causes enemies to deal less damage, it will also decrease their accuracy and cooldown speed of abilities.
πŸ”₯ Scorch: enemies take additional physical damage.

[h2]Minimap[/h2]
And finally, we're in the process of implementing a mini-map. We're still tweaking its looks, but we're excited to give you a sneak peek πŸ‘€


Remember, the mini-map is still a work in progress, so stay tuned for more updates!
