Unveiling the Secrets of Aasha: The Story of Coridden

[h3]Greetings, Shifters! ✊🐲 [/h3]

While Coridden's visuals and smooth multiplayer gameplay may be eye-catching, there's an important layer of the game that's hard to show through screenshots and GIFs. Beneath its visual surface lies a story that weaves together elements of adventure, mystery, and the indomitable spirit of humanity. Let's explore it together!



Coridden's post-apocalyptic narrative is set on a distant planet, where remnants of old human society and technology are scattered across a landscape reminiscent of Earth's Mesozoic Era.

The story takes place many years after a mysterious disaster forced colonists to leave their city and the advanced technology that used to keep them alive. The colonists have since built a new city, learning to adapt and survive in a world where dangerous reptile beasts roam freely.

A group of brave people called the "Scavengers" go into dangerous places to find resources and artifacts that were left behind after a catastrophic event. Our protagonists, the Dayal siblings, become a part of this group after their lives take an unexpected turn when they equip ancient hi-tech devices that grant them extraordinary shapeshifting powers.



With this newfound ability, they embark on a thrilling journey into the unknown, seeking answers about the true nature of these artifacts. Their quest leads them to the city of Aasha, long abandoned and sealed-off by their ancestors 200 years prior.

As the siblings draw closer to Aasha, they uncover unnerving signs of something concealed within the city's protective barriers. This discovery starts a race against time to prevent the release of something that should remain locked away forever.



Don't let the post-apocalyptic setting mislead you. The story in Coridden isn't just about survival, but also about the human spirit's resilience and the lengths we go to protect our world. We hope you'll join us on this adventure and help the Dayal siblings unravel the mysteries of their past to secure their future.

A Journey Through the World of Coridden ✨

[h3]Greetings, Shifters! ✊🐲 [/h3]

We are back with more detailed information about our game, Coridden! Last time, we talked about customization options for your human and beast forms, allowing you to tailor your character to your personal play style. Today, we're thrilled to take you on a journey through the World of Coridden

Our main town, Quilon, is a bustling hub of activity. Here, players can interact with different NPCs, hear their personal stories and get some quests. The building which players will most likely visit the most is called the Dayal House — the players' family home. It offers a chance to craft and assemble alterants, store items, and reset or unlearn skills.



Quilon also nests an arena and various shops where players can purchase new gear or upgrade their existing one. But this town is more than just a marketplace; it's also the starting point for our players' journey into the wider World of Coridden ✨

The world outside Quilon is vast and varied, with beautiful biomes designed to encourage exploration. These levels are built around a central open area, with linear side-tracks for those who want to delve deeper. We designed these levels to give a sense of openness and freedom, encouraging players to keep their eyes open. In certain places, obstacles can be overcome by figuring out environmental puzzles, jumping or swimming. We reward the effort! 🏆



As players progress through the main story, they'll uncover new areas to explore. Each area has its own main hub and many smaller sub-areas, all of which can be explored without encountering a loading screen. This seamless exploration allows players to fully immerse themselves in the world of Coridden, whether they're revisiting a favorite spot or embarking on a quest in a new area.

In each area, players will find at least one Safe Camp, which acts as a save point. Additionally, we scattered around fast travel stations that allow players to quickly move between any stations they've previously discovered and powered up.



We wanted to create a place where people can explore, face different challenges, and progress at their own pace. We hope you'll enjoy your journey through Coridden's enchanting realm as much as we enjoyed creating it 😊

A new Diablo 4 rival is coming as shapeshifting ARPG hits funding goal

Turning into a bear never gets old, as Diablo 4 and Baldur's Gate 3 both proved last year. But what if you could go beyond the few standard animals those RPGs offer us, and shapeshift into all manner of more unique beast forms? Enter Coridden, a new action RPG set to launch in 2024 that lets you transform into numerous deadly creatures at will, becoming some of the very enemies you'll face and turning the tables. Having successfully secured its Kickstarter funding goal, developer Aftnareld confirms that it'll be launching "later this year - and you can't stop it."

Unleashing the Beast: Beast Masteries in Coridden!

[h3]Greetings, Shifters! ✊🐲 [/h3]

In our last update, we delved into the process of levelling up human form in Coridden. Today, we wanted to pull back the curtain and give you a closer look at another equally important aspect of our game — the Beast Forms and their Masteries.



Each beast type has their own Beast Mastery, meaning their own skill-tree with passive and active skills that work in a similar way as the Human Classes. These skills are usable when being in your beast form, essentially meaning you build two characters in one, as you have access to both at any time! Each Beast Mastery usually has up to 3 damage types to specialize into, giving you the opportunity to customize your beast form to your liking 😊

To gain skill points for upgrading a certain Beast Mastery, you have to gain experience points while having that beast form equipped. To begin with, every Beast Mastery includes one skill tree (or skill tab, as we like to call them). However, as you level up, you will be able to unlock a second skill tab, where you will be able to select one out of six skill tabs (it's six for now, but this number might change). These secondary tabs are available for all creature types, and give you a chance to specialize your creature even further to match your play style.

An example of Beast Masteries for Panteliz

[h2]Every beast has their own style, as well as strengths and weaknesses, which are reflected in their Beast Mastery.[/h2]
Here's a brief description of each beast:
[h3]🐲 Panteliz[/h3]
A swift predator that has camouflage and regenerative abilities, but can also pounce and spin to deal a lot of area damage. Skills usually deal sharp, poison or electric damage.

[h3]🐲 Houndra[/h3]
A crazed beast that loves to leap and bite; Its quick attacks and low skill cooldowns means it can always stay in action. Skills usually deal sharp, blunt and/or heat damage.

[h3]🐲 Ramox[/h3]
A tough and easily riled up beast that likes to charge into battle head first. Skills usually deal blunt and/or heat damage.

[h3]🐲 Roker[/h3]
A powerful elemental beast that likes to cast many and various skills from a distance. Skills usually deal poison and/or electric damage.

[h3]🐲 Dragolem[/h3]
An almost unbreakable and sturdy beast that uses stones and crystals to perform attacks covering a lot of area. Skills usually deal blunt and/or piercing damage.

[h3]🐲 Scaptor[/h3]
A beast that has a deadly focus, uses skills that deal a lot of damage on one target or small area. Skills usually deal piercing, heat and/or poison damage.



We strongly encourage you to play as different beasts and find your favorite through trial and error. If you have multiple versions of the same beast, don't hesitate to pick different Masteries for them and see what works best for your team or your personal play style. But most of all — have fun! 😊

Hop on the fun with Coridden's DEMO at the Steam Remote Play Together Fest!

[h3]Greetings, Shifters! ✊🐲 [/h3]

We are thrilled to announce that the Steam Remote Play Together Fest is just around the corner! To celebrate, all you need to do is play games with friends, remotely 😉 The event starts today (February 12th) at 7:00 PM and will last until February 19th.



[h2]It's a great time to download and play the DEMO of our game![/h2]

Coridden was made with the idea of playing together in a meaningful way. This means not just running around together, but also interacting with each other and actively communicating. Whether you're in the same room or miles apart, Coridden is here to bring you together, since it offers both local and online co-op, allowing up to four people to play at the same time in different configurations. For instance, two players can be on the couch at home, while another friend joins them online.

Gaming is always better when shared. So, grab your controllers (or keyboards), call your friends, and dive into the world of Coridden together. We can't wait to see you there!
