Important Figures Behind our Protagonists โœจ

[h2]Greetings, Shifters! โœŠ๐Ÿฒ[/h2]

In the previous update, we introduced you to our main protagonists - the Dayal siblings. Today, we wanted to tell you more about the characters that are the closest to them. Let's talk about their family, their roles and challenges in a post-apocalyptic world.



[h3]Charvi โ€“ Mother of the siblings[/h3]
Charvi is a kind, caring and determined woman. She has been managing the family tech shop inherited from her and her sister Iraโ€™s parents for many years. She raised all of her children mostly by herself, with the occasional help of their father and her sister (when they weren't busy scavenging). Many people in Quilon know that they can not only go to her to buy and fix things, but hire help to perform requests that only scavengers take upon themselves. Charvi is also known for always trying to help someone in some way, regardless of how much money someone might have.

[h3]Ira โ€“ Charvi's sister, siblings aunt[/h3]
Ira is energetic, positive and smart. She never wanted to have a family herself, but she always stayed close to Charvi and helped her raise her children as much as she could. She has a lot of joy and pride being an aunt. Ira has a brilliant, inventive mind, and loves tinkering with tech. It seems that she especially enjoys experimenting with creating new types of weapons...



[h3]Najji โ€“ Father of the siblings[/h3]
Najji is a protective, calm and street-smart person. He's an explorer and scavenger who brings in all sorts of tech, parts and other resources needed for Charvi and Ira to conduct their business. Although he loves his family, he has to spend a lot of time apart from them, making sure he can provide for all of them.

There is one additional person you should definitely meet as well.

[h3]Maya - Digital mind and companion[/h3]
Maya is an artificial intelligence residing inside the gauntlets of the siblings. While we are familiar with AI, this is something they have not encountered before. Maya can see and hear everything the siblings can, and talks to them in a way that sounds just like a voice in their head. Sheโ€™s there to help the ones who wear the gauntlets in any way they need, by making her calculated statements, analysis and can also interact with a lot of tech.



We hope this insight into the family dynamics has sparked your curiosity and deepened your connection with Coridden ๐Ÿ˜Š If you have any questions - we're more than happy to answer them!

Get to know our Characters!

[h2]Greetings, Shifters! โœŠ๐Ÿฒ[/h2]

Last time, we chatted about the power of dialogues and how your choices can influence the quest, its outcome, and even the rewards. Today, we want to introduce you a bit more to the playable characters: the Dayal siblings. The siblings are more than just colorful characters on your screen - they're people with their own unique personalities. By understanding their temperaments, you'll be better equipped to make choices in the game and avoid potential surprises. Let's get to know them better!



[h3]Jai - The intelligent and rational one[/h3]
As the oldest of the Dayal siblings, Jai has grown up to become a responsible individual. He is naturally intelligent and likes being rational. Sometimes Jai finds it difficult not to point out when people are wrong or use faulty reasoning. He feels pressured to take over the family business one day, which makes him feel weighed down by obligations he doesn't want to shoulder. He dreams of becoming rich and gaining the freedom to do whatever he wants to.



[h3]Devi - The supportive and observant one[/h3]
Devi is the second oldest of the siblings, and sheโ€™s very curious and empathetic. Sheโ€™s much more interested and in tune with her and others' emotions than the other siblings. She loves helping others so much that she often forgets to take care of herself and be happy. Although Devi tries to avoid conflicts with other people, she still sometimes feels sheโ€™s not enough to be likeable. She hopes to make her family and the entire community proud of her.



[h3]Lilly - The hot-tempered and brutally honest one[/h3]
The second-youngest, the most daring and ambitious of her siblings, with a sole goal to become the strongest. She was still a child, when she got badly hurt and lost in a fight to defend her sibling, and from then on promised herself to never lose again. Lilly doesn't like showing off any weaknesses, and her short fuse often ends up in harsh comments or fights with others. While her siblings can appreciate her honesty, people who don't know her often take offence to her straight-forward nature and lack of social skills.



[h3]Eshan - The charming and manipulative one[/h3]
Being the youngest of the siblings, he has always looked up to his siblings and hopes to be as smart, dedicated, and tough as them. He quickly realized, however, that his real strength lies in his charm and wits. Although his inexperience and naivetรฉ can sometimes be a hindrance to his goals, he has little trouble lying and manipulating to get what he wants. And, with his busy and talented family, he often feels like he is not as valuable and good enough as the others. He dreams of becoming famous and popular, someone respected and important among the townsfolk.

We hope this insight into their personalities and family dynamics has sparked your curiosity and deepened your connection with our game. Thank you all for your continuous support and enthusiasm. It really means the world to small studios like ours โค

More Than Just Words: Exploring Dialogue System in Coridden

[h3]Greetings, Shifters! โœŠ๐Ÿฒ [/h3]

When you play through Coridden's story, you're not restricted to being a passive listener. You can be an active participant in the unfolding narrative, and be given options to dig deeper for more information, decide how to solve a problem, or even select the type of reward you desire. Each choice you make can lead to new secrets, quests, and outcomes, all dependent on the situation and the NPC/quest at hand.

In Coridden, your character's personality matters. The siblings in the game have different approaches to people and problems, and this can open up unique choices and quests. The rewards and outcomes are not always the same, they change based on the character you are playing and the choices you make.



You already know that you can play Coridden solo or in co-op with your friends. But how does making decisions work when there is more than one person playing? Here is where our voting system comes in!

We decided to implement a system that ensures every player has a chance to read the dialogues, and have their say in the choices presented. Every player always needs to press the "confirm" button to continue a dialogue. However, to make sure the flow doesn't get too slow, as soon as one player has pressed "continue" a timer starts. When the timer runs out, it means that the dialogue will continue regardless of every player having confirmed.

When there are multiple options available, each player can vote for the answer they prefer. If there is a tie, a 50-50 chance determines the selected option. Even if the majority leans towards one option, there is still a chance for the less popular choice to be selected. This makes sure every vote is always viable, and adds a fun element of unpredictability to the dialogue outcome!



We believe that our dynamic dialogues in Coridden will provide a unique and engaging gaming experience. Each choice you make, each dialogue you engage in, is a step towards shaping your own adventure. So come, step into the world of Coridden, and let your choices speak for themselves!
