• [p]fix bug loading very slow framerate setting is 24[/p]

[p]Thank you for being part of the Duriano community. To all the brave Durianians out there, your feedback continues to shape the Nine Realms.[/p]

[p]With the arrival of Patch V0.3.0, a powerful new force takes flight in the world of Duriano. Introducing the Ice Phoenix Sorcerer, a daring new hero forged in frost and flame — and unlike anything we’ve released before.[/p][p]This is not your typical spellcaster. The Ice Phoenix Sorcerer comes with a unique Rebirth Mechanic that changes how you approach survival, growth, and victory. If you're looking for a fresh challenge, this is the hero to test your limits.[/p][p][/p][h2]The Rebirth Mechanic – A Second Chance Comes with a Price[/h2][p]What sets the Ice Phoenix Sorcerer apart is the Rebirth system — a gameplay mechanic that rewards resilience and adaptation:[/p]

• [p]Revival After Death
  Every time the Sorcerer falls, they’re reborn — stronger than before. Each revival grants a boost, allowing you to return to the fight with more power.[/p]
• [p]Limited Lives
  You won’t rise forever. The Ice Phoenix has a limited number of lives, making every decision matter. Survive too recklessly, and you’ll burn out fast. But play smart, and you’ll rise like a legend.[/p]
• [p]High-Risk, High-Reward Playstyle
  This hero is made for experienced players who love to push boundaries. You’ll need to manage your lives carefully, pick augments that complement your revivals, and decide when to go all-in.[/p]

[p][/p][h2]A Hero Built for Strategic Depth[/h2][p]The Ice Phoenix Sorcerer is more than just another DPS caster. They're a tactician's dream — rewarding players who think ahead and adapt on the fly. Their playstyle favors:[/p]

• [p]Burst magic builds that peak after resurrection[/p]
• [p]Trail synergies that grow with survival milestones[/p]
• [p]Aggressive room clearing balanced by careful resource use[/p]

[p]Whether paired with Frigg’s chaotic Echoes or Mimir’s scaling spellcraft, this hero thrives on tension — walking the line between unstoppable power and sudden extinction.[/p][p][/p][h2]Are You Ready to Rise Again?[/h2][p]The Ice Phoenix Sorcerer is now playable in Duriano. Step into the chaos with a hero who turns death into evolution and weakness into strength. But be warned — this isn’t a hero for the faint of heart. You’ll be tested, burned, and frozen — but if you master the cycle…[/p][p]You will rise colder, and stronger than before.[/p]

[p]This Norse-inspired roguelite may look quirky on the surface — after all, your hero is a sentient durian — but underneath its charming exterior is a fast-paced, deeply strategic experience unlike anything else.[/p][p]Whether you're a roguelite veteran or a curious newcomer, here are 5 reasons why you should try playing Duriano at least once in your life:[/p][p][/p][h2]1. It’s a Roguelite That Actually Feels Fresh[/h2][p]Roguelites are everywhere — but Duriano does it differently. From procedurally generated chambers and unique boss encounters to the Gods’ Trail system that passively evolves your build with divine power, every run feels handcrafted by fate itself. The moment-to-moment gameplay is fast, fluid, and filled with smart decisions — not just chaos.[/p][p]No two runs are alike, and the game constantly rewards you for experimentation and adaptation.[/p][p][/p][h2]2. The Characters Are Wild, Weird, and Wonderfully Customizable[/h2][p]You don’t just play as a durian — you choose from a growing cast of durian heroes, each with their own soul, stats, and special effects. Some favor speed and evasion, others scale damage through HP or magic. Every hero feels distinct, offering multiple playstyles depending on how you build them.[/p][p]Want a tank that smashes with raw strength? A spell-slinging glass cannon? Or a crit-heavy rogue who never stays still? It’s all here — and more.[/p][p][/p][carousel][/carousel][h2]3. The World Is Brutal, Beautiful, and Full of Flavor[/h2][p]Set in a post-mythological world inspired by Norse lore, Duriano doesn’t just borrow gods — it builds a universe shaped by their remnants. Lava-flooded battlegrounds, haunted realms, and corrupted chambers create a world that's both dangerous and stunning. And while the themes can be dark, the presentation blends serious myth with absurd humor, making for a tone that’s totally unique.[/p][p]Plus, the enemy designs — from chaotic chili warriors to spectral beasts — are just as imaginative as your heroes.[/p][p][/p][h2]4. Every Decision Matters[/h2][p]From blessings and augments to weapons and Trails, every choice you make affects your survival and scaling. The Gods’ Trail system adds passive paths of power that reward long-term planning. Some trails grant shield-based explosions, others scale your damage with luck or spell damage.[/p][p]You’re never just picking stats — you’re carving a path, weaving a strategy, and betting on your ability to outlive what comes next.[/p][p][/p][h2]5. It’s Still Evolving — And You Can Shape It[/h2][p]Duriano is currently in Early Access, and that means you have a chance to be part of its development. New heroes, weapons, trails, and updates are constantly in progress — and community feedback directly shapes the future of the game.[/p][p]Trying it now means more than just playing a great roguelite. It means helping create one.[/p][p][/p][h2]Final Thought[/h2][p]Even if you're skeptical, Duriano is worth at least one run. The blend of myth, strategy, humor, and high-stakes gameplay makes it stand out in a crowded genre. And once you dive in, chances are you’ll want to run it back — just one more time.[/p][p]Try it. Die. Learn. Laugh. And do it all over again.[/p][hr][/hr][p]📥 Duriano is available for download now !

[p]Thailand’s game development industry has quietly but steadily been growing for years. Now, with titles like Duriano stepping onto the international stage, the Thai indie scene is no longer just “up-and-coming” — it’s here, and it’s ready to make its mark.[/p][p]This post explores how Duriano, developed by Thai studio Adisoft, reflects the creativity, ambition, and potential of Thai indie games in a global gaming market.[/p][h3] [/h3][p]At first glance, Duriano might surprise you with its bizarre premise: a sentient durian fighting through the remnants of Norse mythology in a roguelite format. But dig deeper and you’ll find tight gameplay mechanics, deep build systems, and refined design that rivals many international indie releases.[/p][p]It’s fast, challenging, and endlessly replayable — but it’s also unapologetically weird, and that’s part of its charm. That kind of creative risk-taking is becoming a signature of Thai indie development.[/p][p][/p][h3]The Thai Indie Spirit: Creative, Experimental, Fearless[/h3][p]Thailand’s indie game devs aren’t chasing trends — they’re building games with personality. From experimental horror and stylized platformers to culturally rich narratives and competitive action titles, Thai developers are increasingly comfortable doing things their own way.[/p][p]Duriano embodies this: it blends Norse mythology, roguelite progression, and chaotic humor into a uniquely Southeast Asian package. It doesn’t try to mimic Western titles — it carves its own niche.[/p][p]And that’s what makes Thai games exciting. There’s freedom here. And heart.[/p][p][/p][h3]What Duriano Proves[/h3]

• [p]Thai teams can deliver global-quality gameplay.[/p]

Thailand has a growing pool of talent, from 2D artists and animators to Unity experts, designers, and composers. With platforms like Steam, Itch.io, and mobile stores lowering the barrier to entry, more Thai devs are stepping into the spotlight.[/p][p]What’s needed next?[/p]

• [p]Supportive local funding and publishing.[/p]

• [p]Continued creativity and confidence from Thai studios.[/p]
