We’re thrilled to share some exciting updates and news about Coridden with you!
We've been continuously working on Coridden, and we hope you'll enjoy the improvements we’ve made.
But, first of all, we've got an important announcement.
🗓️ Update on Release Date
After giving it a lot of thought, we made a difficult decision to release the game with a slight delay. Instead of pushing the game out in December, we’ve agreed Coridden would benefit from having a bit more time to cook. With that in mind, we’re excited to announce that Coridden will be released early next year, in Q1 2025. This additional time will allow us to further polish the game, ensuring the best possible experience we can provide. Thank you for your understanding and support in this matter.
Now, let's give you a sneak peek at the things we've changed!
🌇 Quilon Rebuilt
We’re excited to introduce the updated capital city, Quilon, home of the Dayal siblings. The city has now a new layout and look, designed to guide you more intuitively through its charming streets. We’ve removed invisible walls we were never a fan of to enhance immersion and replaced the old houses with modular and performance-friendly structures. We hope you love the new vibe of Quilon as much as we do! We’re still working on adding some ambient sounds to further enhance that friendly town feel.
🗡️ Colour Coding Weapons
As many of you have shared your challenges in sorting through inventory items, we’ve introduced a slight color-coding system to make it easier to identify and find the items you’re looking for. Red indicates heat damage, green for poison, purple for electric, blue for sharp, brown for piercing, and yellow for blunt damage. We’re eager to hear your thoughts on this new feature!
💎 Buying Alterant Spaces
We’re continuing to refine the Alterant system, similar to “gem slots” in other diablo-like games. You will now be able to purchase additional Alterant spaces for your weapons! While it’s a bit costly, it’s a great option if you find a weapon you love but need more spaces to enhance it. We’ve also decreased the level multiplier on many Alterants, making them more accessible earlier in the game. We’re still fine-tuning the balance, so stay tuned for more updates!
Thank you for being with us. We’re excited to continue improving Coridden and can’t wait for you to experience all the new features and updates!
We're thrilled to bring you the latest update to our game demo on Steam!

We've been hard at work recently, and wanted to share some of the cool things we've been up to in Coridden, so let's jump into it!
👂🏼 Adding Voiceovers
One of the key milestones we've reached is integrating some of the voiceovers. The NPCs along the main story will have a VO, as well as the most important NPC characters, like Charvi, Ira or Najji. On the other hand, characters in side-quests or optional dialogue will not have a VO. It's really an amazing feeling to hear your characters talk for the first time! 😊
🎞️ Game Intro
We've also put together an intro video. It’s meant to set the mood and give you a glimpse of the story’s themes when you launch the game for the first time.
🪞 Character portraits
On the art front, we've been closely collaborating with our artist on new character portraits. We've put a lot of thought into these, and we're really pleased with how they turned out! What do you think?
And of course, we've been busy behind the scenes optimizing the game, fixing bugs, and stabilizing the build. The community feedback we received during the closed Beta playtest was extremely helpful in identifying things we should tackle next. It’s hard to showcase these parts, but please believe us it takes a lot of work to make the game reach our standards 😉
We’re really grateful for your support and can’t wait to show you more! 🐲
Let's talk about combat in Coridden! What should you expect?
If you’re eager to embark on a thrilling journey in the world of Coridden, let’s unravel the intricacies of its combat system. Here’s what you can expect:
💥 Action-Packed RPG Adventure
Coridden is an Action RPG that places action and fluid movement at its core. Seamless transitions and dynamic maneuvers are what make battling in this world exhilarating. Your journey is designed to be a whirlwind of strategic choices and heart-pounding encounters.
🐲 Unleash Your Inner Beast
One of the unique features in Coridden is the ability to effortlessly switch between human and beast forms. Whenever you wish to change your strategy or regain stamina during a heated battle, shepshifting is as easy as a button tap. We delve into this transformative power more here: https://steamcommunity.com/games/1656930/announcements/detail/4685523041266430536
🔋 Manage Your Stamina
As battles unfold, your character's stamina slowly depletes with each attack. What happens when you run low and need a quick recharge? Simple: switch forms! This shift offers a tactical refresh that can turn the tide in combat.
⚔️ Choose Your Arsenal
In Coridden, flexibility is key. Equip yourself with a versatile mix of melee and ranged weapons. Switch between a trusty bow and an array of melee options like handaxes, swords, or spears. With so much variety, there’s a perfect weapon to suit every player’s taste.
🧑🏼🎨 Personalize Your Human Form
Customization is at your fingertips when choosing a class for your human form. Whether you wish to focus on elemental damage or bolstering your team through healing and support, the decision shapes your future skillset. Every choice opens a new avenue for personalized gameplay.
🌲 Explore Dual Skill Trees
Both your human and beast forms come with distinct skill trees. As you level up, be sure to examine each tree for fresh abilities that can help you conquer increasingly challenging foes.
🏇🏼 Solo or Co-op: The Choice is Yours
While playing solo is possible, we recommend teaming up with at least one more person for an enriched experience. Collaborating with another player can enhance strategies and make conquering the dangerous world of Coridden all the more enjoyable.
🎮 Optimized for Gamepad Play
Although playable with mouse and keyboard, Coridden is optimized with a gamepad in mind. This means wielding your controller will provide the smoothest, most immersive experience.
Dive into Coridden’s combat with these insights in mind, and prepare for an exciting adventure!
Today, we're embarking on a journey to explore shapeshifting in Coridden. Whether you've just discovered our game or you're already played the demo, understanding the art of shapeshifting is key to mastering the game. In this mini-guide, we'll delve into what shapeshifting is all about, how you can transform into different forms, and the advantages it brings to your gameplay. Let's jump into it!
Why Shapeshift?
Shapeshifting is really important in Coridden. When you change into a beast, you can run faster and jump higher, which helps you move through the game more easily, as well as access some hidden shelves and nooks. On the other hand, when you are in your human form, you can use your fingers to open treasure chests and collect goodies you find along the way.
How Do You Get This Ability?
To shapeshift, you need special shards. These shards sometimes appear when you beat a beast in the game. Your gauntlets can use these shards to let you turn into the beast you defeated. The more beasts you beat, the more shapes you can change into!
Skill Trees For All
Every beast type has its own skills called Beast Mastery. These are like skill-trees with useful abilities for you to use when you’re in beast form. It's like having two characters in one because you can access both your beast and human skills anytime! Remember, each beast has its own strengths and weaknesses.
Play and Grow Together
Coridden is designed as a co-op adventure. You and your friends can fight, ride, and complete challenges together, making the game more fun and exciting as you grow and improve as a team.
We have some exciting new updates to share with you all. Our team has been making some progress on various fronts, and we’re thrilled to give you a sneak peek into our progress 😀
🪨 Caves
We’ve updated our cave environments, adding a bit more life to them. What do you think?
⬆️ Level up effect
A lot of you mentioned that it's hard to notice the level up pop-up in the middle of the fight. We added a new animation to make it more visible!
🪞 Character portraits
We’re making steady progress in creating new character portraits. We've recently shared the portraits of all seven beasts. Check that out if you missed it: https://steamcommunity.com/games/1656930/announcements/detail/4687773573345364849 Now we're working on portraits of our human characters. Hang on tight, we'll reveal them soon!
Overall, we’re putting a lot of effort into updating environments, refining skills and effects, and improving localization. Of course, bug fixing has been a major focus, too 😅 Oh, and we’re just about to start working with talented voice actors to bring the main story dialogues to life!
