A new CHORDIOID: First Breath update has arrived!



Demo version 1.2 introduces the ARCADE, a Free Play mode accessible from the overworld and main menu. Replay your favourite battles to go for a high score whenever you want - or enjoy community levels with the new Custom Battle support.



First Breath now has two methods for making your own CHORDTENT (CHORDIOID CONTENT): Add your own battles to the Arcade using the Custom Battle loader, or use the newly-bundled Godot Mod Loader to mod anything you like, including the game's code. Shove DOOM into it, I don't care!

Both of these methods require some familiarity with Godot - see the work-in-progress Modding Wiki for more information, or join the Discord to get assistance and share your creations.

As for what's next...

We've got ONE MORE MAJOR UPDATE in store for the demo, and it's shaping up to be the juiciest - and perhaps most surprising - by a long shot. More on that, and the CROWDFUNDING campaign planned to accompany it, soon.

Now go, my chordlings. Go and make the playable AMVs of your dreams.

The year is 2361. Three hundred years have passed since Cold War rivalries erupted into nuclear devastation. Humanity has expanded beyond Earth, with colossal space stations orbiting planets and Mars standing as an independent power. But war never changes—governments, corporations, and mercenary factions battle to control the SOL system's dwindling resources.

In this fragile peace, disputes are settled not through diplomacy but battles between massive mechanized warriors (MCs) armed with Gatling guns, missiles, lasers, and even orbital bombardments. The question is: How long can this fragile peace last before full-scale war erupts once again?

Upgrade to Unreal Engine 5.5
With the latest version of Unreal Engine, we have access to a range of new features that make the game world more immersive, realistic, and dynamic. One of the biggest additions is Mega Light, a groundbreaking technology that allows us to use a vast number of dynamic light sources—without significantly impacting performance.

Previously, we often had to limit the number of light sources to maintain a stable frame rate. This was especially noticeable indoors, where cabins, houses, and even streetlights had to be designed with fewer lights. But with Mega Light, that’s no longer a problem. Now, we can fully utilize atmospheric lighting to create dense, immersive environments. Whether it's flickering candles in an abandoned cabin, softly glowing streetlights, or the eerie glow of a fire pit—all these details can now be fully realized to enhance the world’s atmosphere.

Another exciting feature is Skeletal Mesh Tessellation, which allows for real-time deformation of organic creatures. This means we can introduce more lifelike animations and believable creature behavior. Muscles and skin will react dynamically to movement, wounds or deformities can be realistically displayed, and even fine surface details can adapt in real-time. How exactly we’ll use this feature in the game? Stay tuned for a future dev blog!

New Cabins and Houses
Creating a dynamic and ever-changing experience is one of our main goals. That’s why we've been working on an advanced procedural system that not only generates cabins and houses but also fills them with realistic interiors.

The core of this system isn’t just random object placement—it’s about structured, believable interior design. Our goal is to make procedurally generated buildings indistinguishable from handcrafted level designs. To achieve this, we use different procedural construction methods depending on the type of building:

Cabins: The interiors of cabins are generated as open, interconnected spaces. This results in organic and natural environments that perfectly suit smaller dwellings.





Houses: Unlike cabins, houses are divided into multiple rooms, each with a distinct function (e.g., living room, bedroom, kitchen, dining area). We use a category-specific procedural generation (PCG) system to ensure logical furniture placement.



Each room type follows specific design principles to create a cohesive and immersive environment. For example, sofas in a living room aren’t just placed randomly; they form realistic seating arrangements around a table or fireplace. Dining rooms feature well-organized layouts with tables, chairs, and cabinets, while bedrooms have logically positioned beds, nightstands, and wardrobes.


Balancing Procedural Generation and Handcrafted Design:


A fully procedurally generated world runs the risk of feeling too chaotic or random. That’s why we’re carefully balancing procedural variety with handcrafted elements.

To ensure structure, each world will feature fixed, handcrafted landmarks that act as anchor points. These unique locations tell their own stories and provide a strong contrast to the procedurally generated environments. Players can use these points as recognizable landmarks, helping them navigate even as the world changes around them.

This blend of procedural dynamism and carefully placed handcrafted elements ensures that the game world feels fresh and unique with every playthrough—while maintaining a consistent atmosphere and sense of coherence.

And that wraps up this Dev Blog.

Stay tuned for more updates, and as always, happy hunting!
