Get to know our Characters!

[h2]Greetings, Shifters! ✊🐲[/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 she’s very curious and empathetic. She’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 she’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 naivetΓ© 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 ❀

More Than Just Words: Exploring Dialogue System in Coridden

[h3]Greetings, Shifters! ✊🐲 [/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!

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 β€” 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! πŸ†



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."
