As always, we’re incredibly grateful for the support of our community and can’t wait to share more updates as we continue to develop Coridden.
Today, we are beyond excited to share a special part of Coridden with you: the soundtrack. We've had the incredible opportunity to work with Zofia Domaradzka, a brilliant Polish composer known for her work on Timberborn and Yet Another Fantasy Title. Together, we've created a musical experience that will transport you into the heart of Coridden ❤️
Our vision for the soundtrack was to capture the essence of Coridden's beautiful yet perilous world. As you traverse its diverse landscapes, you'll feel the exotic allure and the lurking dangers. When you step into the ancient ruins, the music will take on a mysterious and slightly futuristic tone, mirroring the secrets of a forgotten time.
Recently, we asked for your help in choosing which track to reveal. We held a vote on our Twitter/X and Discord, offering three options: Combat Music, Exploration Music, and the Main Theme. The results were clear – the Main Theme was your top choice, with Exploration Music coming in a close second.
And now, we're thrilled to present to you the Main Theme of Coridden! 🎉

We’re excited to share what we’ve been up to over the past month as we gear up for our upcoming alpha testing. Here’s a peek behind the curtain at the latest developments:
A lot of side-quests! 📜
We've been busy adding and implementing a bunch of new side-quests. These quests are designed to enrich your journey and offer more depth to our world. We can’t wait for you to dive in and discover all the hidden stories and adventures we’ve crafted, but of course, that's all we can reveal for now 😉
Environment Enhancements 🌿
Our environments are getting some love too! We’ve touched up the Quilon Outskirts, a new area that hasn’t been included before. Here are some sneak-peaks:
Music for Your Ears 🎵
Music is a huge part of creating an immersive experience, and we’ve been hard at work implementing new soundtracks. This month, we focused on exploration music. Our goal is to make you feel like you’re stepping into a beautiful, exotic world filled with both wonder and danger. Whether you’re wandering through nature or exploring ancient buildings, we want the music to reflect the mystery and excitement of your journey ✨ Would you like to hear some of it? Let us know in the comment section below!
New Icons ✏️
We’ve also been updating and implementing new icons throughout the game! Take a look at some of the Skill Icons - active ones will have a rectangular frame, and passive ones - circular 😊
Main Menu Makeover 🔨
Our Main Menu got significant improvements for the overall experience. We’ve reworked it to be more intuitive and user-friendly, making it easier for you to jump into the game and start your adventure! 🏃
We’re thrilled with the progress we’ve made this month and can’t wait to share more updates with you soon. Stay tuned!

We've been hard at work this month and have some exciting updates to share with you all. Here's a quick rundown of what we've been up to:
🐲 Side-Quests & Levels
We've been busy implementing new side-quests and fixing up levels to make your adventures even more thrilling. Expect some fresh challenges and smoother gameplay!
🐲 Items & VFX
New items have been added to the game, and we've also been enhancing the visual effects. Your battles are about to get a lot more visually stunning!
🐲 Environment Fixes
Our team has been diligently fixing up the environment to ensure everything looks and feels just right. Immersion is key, and we want you to feel like you're truly part of this world.
🐲 Damage Status Effects
We've added more VFX to show when you or an enemy is affected by a damage status effect. This should make it easier to see what kind of damage an enemy has and make it feel more impactful when they’re engulfed by an element upon defeat. It’s all about that extra flair!
🐲 Crocolisk Implementation
The Crocolisk, one of our Kickstarter stretch goals, now has a full skill tree! While there are still a few animations that need tweaking, it’s fully playable. This beast boasts some unique water-themed skills. For instance, it can make enemies "wet", causing them to take more electric damage but a bit less heat damage. Perfect for those strategic elemental combos!

Deadly Spin, Minimap and Stacking Effects!
Greetings, Shifters! ✊🐲
We're back with another changelog! As always, we've been hard at work adding more content to the game. We've shared some of the improvements in our last Dev Update - check it out if you haven't already! https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1656930/view/7723185311647615065
New moves
Our beasts have been training hard and it shows! Not only has Ramox learned some new moves, but Panteliz has also been honing new skills. We can't wait to show you two of their new moves - what do you think?? 😀
Charged Pounce
Deadly Spin
Damage types and stacking effects
In our discord we had some interesting discussion around damage types and effect stacking lately, and questions about how it works in Coridden came up. For you who are interested, here is a quick overview for how damage over time and damage status effects currently work:
Damage over time stacks. So if you successfully scorch an enemy with 10 dmg for 4 sec and then successfully scorch the same enemy 2 seconds later with 5 dmg for 2 sec, the enemy will take 15 damage for the remaining 2 seconds. However, the debuff from the damage status effect does not stack. For example, a scorched enemy always takes 50% more physical damage no matter how many "stacks" of scorch it has. Concerning area of effect (AOE) damage, if an enemy stands in 2 AOE attacks it will take damage from both. It works in the same way for both singleplayer and multiplayer. More than inflict damage over time, each status effect also debuff enemies in different ways:
🩸 Bleeding: enemies take additional elemental damage. ⚗️ Poison: prevents enemies from healing. ⚡ Shock: causes enemies to deal less damage, it will also decrease their accuracy and cooldown speed of abilities. 🔥 Scorch: enemies take additional physical damage.
Minimap
And finally, we're in the process of implementing a mini-map. We're still tweaking its looks, but we're excited to give you a sneak peek 👀
Remember, the mini-map is still a work in progress, so stay tuned for more updates!
We've been very focused on work lately, time has been flying by so fast we've forgotten to share our progress! 🙈
As usual, we keep working on adding content, such as skills and quests, but there has also been quite a lot of work with preparing everything for translation. Quests and translation work is kind of hard to show off 😅 But luckily, we have these two fiery beast skills to share with you! 🔥
Magma Boulder
Flame Wave
More in the upcoming Changelog!
We're also getting ready for Alpha tests we want to start soon. Ping us on Discord if you'd like to be among the first to explore Coridden's unique environment and turn into creatures with awesome moves such as above 🐲
Also, we'll make the demo available soon. A lot of you found Coridden when the demo was no longer available and regretted not having a chance to play it. We hear you! We'll keep you updated when it comes to dates, so start gathering your teams!
And since we're talking about trying out games, we'll be taking part in the Indie Showcase during Digital Dragons in Cracow, Poland! 🐲 It's one of the biggest B2B gamedev conferences in Europe and we can't wait to meet other developers to exchange experiences and get inspired 🤩 Digital Dragons starts on May 19th and will last for three whole days.
