Coridden News

The one great weapon in my arsenal as mercurial uncle and cousin to several infant humans is the timeless game of Horsey. You know - when you get down all fours and offer to give the kid a ride around the sitting room. It's murder on the old kneecaps, but as any shrewd parental tactician knows, Horsey is a game with a sting in its tail (making this a kind of scorpion Horsey, I guess). The horse in the game of Horsey is free to choose the direction of travel, even if it's somewhere the rider would rather not go. Towards the bath or dinner table, for instance. Towards the dentist, if needed.

[h3]❗ Demo is Available Now ❗[/h3]

It's happening! The latest demo with never-seen before content is now live on Steam! Head to the main page of the game and look for a big green banner to download and try the game!

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

The demo we’re presenting covers a part of the game which will be available later in the full release. The new content is not only the highlight and proof of concept Kickstarter-wise. We really encourage you to leave feedback and support the development process. We still need to take care of the stuff like 3D animations, 2D assets for the UI and Equipment as well as some animation iterations. Stay tuned for a more detailed changelog in the upcoming week! The gameplay time is approx. ~1 hour. What's more, it's fully supporting co-op experience, so bring your friends and make THE TEAM!





Quick recap of the new content, you will be able to experience

• Get introduced to the world and characters of Coridden,
  
• Explore the main town and one of the wildland areas,
  
• Pick one of four classes to try out with a selection of skills available, up to level 12,
  
• Try out 2-3 different beast forms and their skills during the main quest path,
  
• If you want to challenge yourself and do some pure combat grind, you can try out the Guard Missions (where you also can find 2 other beast forms).
  

[h3]💚 Coridden Kickstarter Campaign 💚[/h3]



Along with the demo, we're launching Coridden Kickstarter campaign. Check out what content we've prepared for you. The campaign is featuring some exclusive content ready to be unlocked, including new in-game items (such as armor and beast skins), exclusive in-game awards and ability to have your cute pet companion aside!




We encourage you to participate in the campaign and support the project. Your contribution gives us the chance to improve the game's overall quality and also serves as a platform for creating more content, for which we're sure to have plenty of ideas! Coridden has always been a game created in the spirit of a community-driven approach, even since pre-production. It's only natural that our backers also get access to the game's beta version, directly supporting the project during this critical moment.

We’re eager to show you what we have planned for the Stretch Goals! We hope you help us with this journey!



[h3] ✅ New Languages Confirmed ✅ [/h3]

Finally, we can confirm it! Coridden will support interface and text translation in 6 different languages. The game will be available in English, French, Spanish, German, Chinese (Traditional and Simplified) and Russian. The partial voiceovers are scheduled only in the English version.



Please let us know if you have any thoughts about the in-game rewards! We believe that close collaboration with the community will benefit us and the game, and hope as many as possible want to bring this idea to life and go on this journey together with us! 🧙‍♂️

Until next time!

Greetings, Shifters! ✊🐲

How have you been? Frankly, we've been super busy with putting together the Kickstarter campaign for Coridden. We can finally confirm! The campaign will go live next week! Save the date - January 30th!

[previewyoutube][TEASER TRAILER][/previewyoutube]

Along with the Kickstarter launch, we will release the Coridden demo, which will bring new and improved content. We've been working on new skills, items, combat animations, enemy behaviors and more. In the demo you can play solo or co-op, with the freedom of leveling-up your character or selected monster!






The demo is not only the highlight and proof of concept Kickstarter-wise. We really encourage you to leave the feedback and support the development process. We still need to take care of the stuff like 3D animations, 2D assets for the UI and Equipment as well as some animation iterations. Stay tuned for more details change-log in the upcoming week.






Getting back to Kickstarter. Everything needs to be built from the ground up, so it takes a lot of effort to make it work. Curious what the process looks like? Let's take a look together!

[h3]🐲 We really want our Kickstarter page to look great and be easy to understand. [/h3]
To do that, we divided the campaign into sections to make it easy to jump into topics that are interesting to our potential backers. We want people to notice us right away, so we made nice and consistent headers and used GIFs and pictures to show things clearly.



[h3]🐲 But most of all, we spent countless hours brainstorming rewards.[/h3]
It was a lot of fun, but we had so many ideas that we already went through a couple of iterations to make a normal-length list 😅

You can surely expect options that will include:

• the copy of the game (obviously 😂)
  
• two copies of the game! 😉 - so you can enjoy Coridden with a friend or your loved one ❤️
  
• things OUTSIDE of the game, such as special Discord roles, wallpapers, etc.
  
• things INSIDE of the game, like unique skins for beasts or an in-game item showcasing your contribution. Some of those items will be exclusive for Kickstarter campaign only!
• an in-game pet, so you'll never set off on an adventure alone, even when your player 2 is offline 😍
  
• and many, MANY more!
  

What, I was not supposed to say that yet? Oops 🙉

[h3]🐲 We sketched out a plan of stretch goals as well.[/h3]
They basically include things we'd love to have in-game, but they require a bigger budget. Would like to see a new beast or a new game mode? Stay tuned for what we prepared! We're keeping our fingers crossed for a great success of our campaign 🤞



Here's a small gift for you. One of a few concepts we'll showcase on the Kickstarter page. The following one is showing 4 different variants of the character attire.





Preparing for the Kickstarter launch is taking a lot of work, but we're making good progress. It won't be long until we're ready to go, and we hope you're as excited as we are! 😍

Greetings Shifters ✊🐲

Hope you had a great start of the new year!
We have been busy preparing our Kickstarter and excited to share it with you very soon... But as always we continue to work on the game as well, and wanted to share some progress:

• Re-worked "rafting": We've been struggling for a long time making the "rafting" feature work properly, but some of the nasty bugs and issues made us give up on including the rafting at all. But then we realized we kinda had a working feature all along, just in a slightly different format - so we applied our riding mechanic on a log and it worked great! And thanks to this, it's also possible to attack while rafting, which wasn't possible before without changing your position. It might not look as fancy, but it feels much better to control, and we don't have to worry about all those bugs.
  
  
  
  
• When your friend is slow, pick them up and go! : We added a new feature where you, as a monster, can pick up your friend on your back when they are in a menu and ride off together.
  
  
  
  
• Rebalancing x10: After considering it for some time, we decided to re-balance the damage numbers to give ourselves more room for item variety. So the damage numbers will seem 10 times higher than before, however things such as ability damage and enemy health also gets a boost, so it's not like the game suddenly becomes much easier..
  

Until next time!
