[h2]Greetings, Shifters! ✊🐲 [/h2]

When we embarked on the journey of creating the fascinating, somewhat post-apocalyptic world of Coridden, we found ourselves building every element, every item, and every mechanic from scratch. This also included coming up with unique names for these components. If you've tuned into our stream (thank you!), you've probably heard us mention something called "Alterants". But what exactly are these mysterious elements and how do they impact the gameplay? That's exactly what we wanted to talk about today. Let's unravel the mystery of Alterants together!



In Coridden, players have the opportunity to modify their gear through the use of Alterants, or Alts for short. These can be obtained in multiple ways, e.g. through defeating enemies, opening chests, or disassembling weapons. To equip Alts, players will need to visit their home base, the Dayal House, located in Quilon, and use the workbench.



Every item in the game that has at least one Alterant Space can be enhanced with an Alterant. Items can have anywhere from 0 to 6 Alterant spaces, each represented by different shapes: Force (Diamond), Finesse (Circle), and Prime (Rectangle). It's important to note that the shape of the Alterant must match the shape of the Alterant space, with the exception of the Prime space, which can accept any type of Alterant. Some Alterants also may have specific item type requirements, such as bow, melee, armor, or creature form.



Every Alterant has one or two modifiers that affect the item you're inserting them in. The Alterant category decides what type of modifiers the Alt can have. Force Alterants can modify the item’s damage per second, while Finesse Alterants affect other base stats such as health and energy. Prime Alterants, on the other hand, provide special benefints, such as “skill on strike” or “convert damage type”.

Each Alterant's modifier values are randomized - meaning you can find two Alts that do the same thing, but one does it a bit better. So it can be worth to always keep a lookout for even better Alts to use!



Players can always disassemble an item with Alterants, and get the Alts back to use them into another item. This allows players to experiment with different Alts, trying out various combinations until they find the one that suits their playstyle the best. However, there's a currency cost associated with assembling weapons with Alts, and some Alts will raise the item level requirement, so choose wisely!

We leave the power to create the perfect weapon in your hands. Experiment, explore, and most of all, have fun 😊

We think that a fun RPG lets you customize and specialize your character in different ways. So when developing Coridden, we wanted to find ways for players to do just that. Instead of just passively getting better when gaining a level, we added an attribute system where you can choose what your character should become better at. In this update, we want to dive a bit more into how attributes work in our game!


The five attributes to choose from — Power, Fragmentation, Stabilization, Battery, and Element — each one enhances a different aspect of your character. Whenever a player levels up their gauntlets, they'll gain 2 attribute points to freely assign to any of the 5 attributes. There's also possible to find additional attribute points scattered around the world, so remember to explore, and your efforts will be rewarded ✨

The attributes give various passive upgrades to your characters, both to your human and your monster form:
🐲 Power — increases physical melee damage;
🐲 Fragmentation — increases physical projectile damage and status effect’s damage over time (for example, if you manage to poison an enemy it deals more damage);
🐲 Stabilization — improves health and reduces the chance to get staggered by the enemy;
🐲 Battery — increases max energy and energy recharge rate;
🐲 Element — increases elemental damage and ability power (which in turn improves some active skills).



Attributes are not only important for these passive bonuses, however, as some skills might benefit and be improved from certain attributes — so you can improve skills by upgrading attributes!

Do you upgrade your gauntlet's power to increase physical melee damage? Or do you focus on fragmentation to improve your projectile physical damage and damage over time? The choice is yours.

What build will you be going for? Let us know in the comments!

[h2]Greetings, Shifters! ✊🐲[/h2]

Today is the start of the February Steam Next Fest! For those of you who don’t know, it’s a digital festival dedicated to showing upcoming games and demos during a whole week. There are so many interesting games featured, and of course, we're thrilled that our game is one of them! 🎉



As you already might know, you can play Coridden by yourself, but inviting friends or your significant other can make the experience even better 🥰 We have many fond memories of playing with each other, family and friends and want to encourage more people to take time doing just that. That’s why, when developing our own game, we wanted to find ways for players to actively support each other through meaningful interactions and communication. Our co-op riding mechanic is one example, where players can become a stronger unit and overcome environmental obstacles together!



To celebrate both co-op gaming and being in Steam Next Fest, we decided to do a livestream where we will play the demo together in co-op, talk about the game and answer any questions you might have! Make sure to stop by Coridden's Steam page tomorrow, at 3 PM CET to get to know us and the game even more!

Also, as an extra bonus, there will be a chance to win a key for a game from our Publisher's library 😉

We can't wait to have a chat with you, hope to see you on the livestream!
