[h2]Greetings, Shifters! ✊🐲[/h2]

Following the successful Kickstarter campaign, we've hit the ground running, already implementing the stretch goals that were reached. March has been a particularly productive month for us, with significant progress made in many areas of our project 😊

One of the key areas we've been focusing on is the development of Alterants and the Forge. We added basic support for the stretch goal "Alterant Sequences", and are now updating all Alterants to give them names and more set stats to make it easier to recognize them. The Forge has also seen some improvements. Players will now be able to access all items there, even those stored in their stash. Additionally, we've introduced a preview feature that displays item name, level, alternate spaces, and eventual alternate names + alternate sequence name when standing over items on the ground.



Another stretch goal we've successfully implemented is the Custom class. This new feature gives players the freedom to select one of the 12 skill tabs each time they reach the required level to unlock a new tab. Basically, you will be able to mix and match any 3 skill tabs you like 😁

We've also been hard at work optimizing the effect system. While this has required us to redo some effects, it will ultimately help to reduce lag spikes in the long run. We're also continuing to add and polish skills. For instance, we've introduced a new skill for the Guardian class: Rally Flag. This ability damages enemies around it upon landing and then acts as a buff zone for you and your allies.



Lastly, we're proud to announce that our game, Coridden, was showcased during PAX East in Boston. This was a fantastic opportunity for us to share our work with a wider audience and receive valuable feedback 😎

[h2]Greetings, Shifters! ✊🐲[/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 – 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 Ira’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 – 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 – 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. She’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 😊 If you have any questions - we're more than happy to answer them!

[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 naiveté 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 ❤
