Coridden News

[h2]Greetings, Shifters! ✊[/h2]

Patch 1.0.3 is now live! Let's see what's changed.

[h3]🐲 Changelog 1.0.3[/h3]
🏃🏼‍➡️ General
- Added Item stacking to alterants and quest items!
- General game stability improvements
- Fix so PS glyphs are shown when using PS controller (turn off Steam Input)
- Fixed various localization issues
- Added text explaining that game needs to be started to host it
- Fixed issue with some Mouse controls resetting (remap)
🏃🏼‍➡️ Items & Skills
- Reduced prices on adding alterant space
- Adjusted balance on Conjuration skills (still work in progress)
- Fixed issue where Ira's Boom Bow gets downgraded from lvl 7 to 3 when travelling — it has now been changed to lvl 5
- Fixed issue with Vigorous skill reseting every time when changing zones, also added "Affects both forms" tag
- Made Marsh Crocolisk immune to toxic zone
- Fixed issue where Plated Roker droprate didn't work as intended
- Fixed issue where the explosion damage (for example in Blast Ranged Weapons) was not displayed correctly in stats (the contribution from the element attribute was not visible)
- Fixed bug where Vital force skill gave too much health back
- Fixed tag issue on "Shepherd" Alterant - it should now be possible to insert it into both armors and helmets (still not working as intended - will revisit for next update)
- Updated credits
🏃🏼‍➡️ Areas & quests
- Worked on environment issues and improvements in Aasha area
- The dummies that are needed to be destroyed in Arena backstage are now highlighted
- Patched up a spot in Aatma Valley where you could get stuck
- Adjusted a current that could get player stuck in river, in Quilon Outskirts
- Added Map indication to Pryia's Headpiece
- Added an examinable text prompt hint where "Mounted Jump" is needed
- Corrected "heavy beast" in rock/wall destroying description to "ramming beast"
- Fixes so quest items can drop again if player loses them (affected quests: Stolen property, Egghunt, Missing Scavanger, Gamblers Stash, Supplies Retrieval)
- Fixed issue where you couldn't turn in Rapids Beast Q if defeated Crocolisk before getting quest
- Fixed issue where you couldn't turn in Coating Component Q during a certain phase in the story
- If both camps are killed in Bandit Rivalry Q, the quest will be marked as completed (but no reward is possible to collect, as no quest-givers are left alive!)
- Fixed so you can't talk to Najji before entering Aasha unlimited amount of times
- Fixed several perasins that didn't give an attribute point
- Fixed issue where you couldn't aim properly on electrical attackable objects for puzzels (such as the instance in Bandit Cave)
- Added some healing plants in towns
🏃🏼‍➡️ New savefile backup
We added a separate auto save system, that saves at regular intervals to a local only savefile with ending .dat1.
If you have issue with a save and want to try and recover an earlier version, remove the corrupted save and rename the save to .dat for it to appear in-game. You will probably be set back a little, but at least not loose all progress!

[h3]🐲 Known issue[/h3]
- Buyback in stores includes all items in store (the buyback still works however it's a bit cluttered, sorry for this!)

[h3]🐲 What we are working on now[/h3]
- Camera improvements
- Movement improvement
- Puzzle and quest clarifications
- The Forge - quality of life and UX improvements
- Multiplayer optimization and stability (also general game stability)
- Steam deck optimization
- More assignable skill slots - as more points would probably be needed to make it worthwhile, we need to work and test the balancing a bit more before we implement this change (let us know if you'd like additional skill slots, if so how many do you think would be optimal?)

And if you haven't done that already, please take a moment to leave a review. Your feedback is invaluable, and it would help us stand out! And, if you happen to encounter any bugs, please don't hesitate to let us know. We're actively engaging with our community on Discord, and you can also reach us via email at [email protected].

[h2]Greetings, Shifters! ✊[/h2]

[h3]Coridden came out yesterday, and we couldn't be happier to see how you receive our game![/h3]

When we're writing this, Coridden has 31 reviews, and all of them are positive 😍
[h3]Let's hit “Very Positive” next! 😁[/h3]

[h3]Here are a couple of shorter reviews telling what people liked the most about Coridden:[/h3]
👍🏼 "Seamless shapeshifting is something that makes combat seem very fluid. Cool concept."
source

👍🏼 "Game turned out to be a great positive surprise for me, the combat system and the wonderful world to explore make you get sucked into the gameplay in no time. Definitely recommend"
source

👍🏼 "Played this at Närcon Summer 2024. Felt it had potential then. Having a blast with the little i played so far now. Happy with the how the game turned out. I can also pet the dog in the first hub-town. 10/10"
source

👍🏼 "Coming from a small indie company, this game is incredibly well done. It runs smoothly at Ultra settings, gameplay is intuitive, and the morphing between human and beast form is fast, making it easy to transform mid-combat in order to utilize both forms, each with their own enegry pool. Definitely recommend for the single-player experience. Have not had the opportunity to try out co-op as of yet."

But we're also keeping our eyes and ears open in the whole Internet.
[h3]Here are some of the reviews that we got on various gaming outlets:[/h3]
"[...] the music is outstanding. In fact, I’d say that atmospheric music suits the barren and lush landscapes wonderfully. Whoever composed the music for Coridden should be proud of their work." and "I also found the writing to be full of heart, as themes of family are core to Coridden’s story in a raw way we don’t usually see from big budget titles."
RPG Fan

"Aftnareld's game is visually very pretty, with a sublime play of light, especially in dark places. Its science-fiction universe, mixed with a slightly less modern one, adds a touch of charm to the adventure."
and "It's great fun to explore Heera's world as a human or a beast. What's more, the OST is very pleasant, and easily takes us on a journey into the world of Coridden. "
Couple of gamer

"The environments are vibrant and diverse, with an impressive attention to detail. From the dense forests to the abandoned ruins, each area feels unique and while playing I wanted to explore every nook and cranny. The effects of the various skills also make an excellent impression."
Evil Gamerz

"Coridden is considered one of the most promising RPGs of the year, thanks to its unique mechanics that allow players to change physical forms and its well-developed co-op features. It's a great choice for spending an evening with friends."
Co-op Land
