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!

Deadly Spin, Minimap and Stacking Effects!

[h2]Greetings, Shifters! ✊🐲[/h2]

[h2]New moves[/h2]

[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!

Improvements and getting ready for alpha 🐲

[h2]Greetings, Shifters! ✊🐲[/h2]

We've been very focused on work lately, time has been flying by so fast we've forgotten to share our progress! πŸ™ˆ

As usual, we keep working on adding content, such as skills and quests, but there has also been quite a lot of work with preparing everything for translation. Quests and translation work is kind of hard to show off πŸ˜… But luckily, we have these two fiery beast skills to share with you! πŸ”₯
