CHORDIOID: First Breath Releases December 16th!

Hello chordheads! (Yes, that's what you're called.)

It's been an exciting couple months for CHORDIOID! Let me catch you up to speed real quick:

- First of all, CHORDIOID got a publisher!

The lovely folks over at DECONRECONSTRUCTION, known for works like Vast Error and Snowbound Blood, have offered to act as publisher for the game. I'm really stoked about this - I've worked with the folks at DCRC for a number of years now, and I don't think there's anyone I'd trust CHORDIOID with as much as them. Suffice it to say, They Get It.

- Second: we just dropped a brand new trailer!

If you ask me, this bad boy really shows off how far we've come in such a short amount of time. I'm immensely proud of everyone's work, and I cannot wait to show you what we've got in store.

(This trailer was edited by the incredible Vivian Sierra - she knocked it out of the park!)

Watch on YouTube
- And finally... CHORDIOID: First Breath releases in just two weeks!!

That's right! CHORDIOID: First Breath, the game's demo we've been working on non-stop for the past year-and-a-bit, finally releases December 16th, 2024. That's right around the corner!! Aaaa!!! Oh god!!!! Say it ain't so!!!!!

I'll keep it brief (partially because there is so much left to do oh my god), but what you can expect is a 30-60 minute slice of the full game's opening act, with enemies to fight, people to talk to, and a boss or two to knock your socks off. It's pretty swell!

We do have some other stuff in the works post-demo, but you'll have to wait a bit longer for that. Rest assured, we continue to be hard at work in the chord mines.

And that's all I've got for you today! Hope you're as excited as I am to finally CHORD some IOIDS.

See you soon,

ash
