Cinderhorde Rising: A Day of Lore & Dungeons!

Hey everyone, it’s Kay & Ele! 🔥✨

10 days to launch. The countdown is speeding up, but today we took a moment to step back, celebrate, and, of course, keep creating.

A Birthday and a Bestiary Update

We took a small break from the office to celebrate Pep’s birthday, but that didn’t stop the ideas from flowing! Ele and Pep spent time expanding the Dragling lore, filling the idea bank with even more details that will bring Pyria’s creatures to life.

Meanwhile, Kay stayed behind to test the randomly generated dungeons, and they’re shaping up beautifully. Each run feels fresh, unpredictable, and—most importantly—challenging. But what’s a dungeon without terrifying monsters? That’s where Gi comes in!

Enter the Cinderhorde

Pyria’s newest nightmare is here: the Cinderhorde. These smoldering horrors lurk in the dungeon depths, hunting in swarms. Their cracked obsidian hides glow from within, embers flickering beneath jagged claws and horns. Their eerie, ember-filled eyes burn with relentless hunger, and when they strike, it’s in an overwhelming fiery onslaught, reducing everything in their wake to ash and ruin.

If you thought Pyria’s dungeons were just about treasure hunting—think again. Survival is just as important.

The Final Countdown

With only 10 days left, we’re feeling the pressure, but also the excitement. There’s so much left to do, but every day brings Pyria closer to the world we’ve been dreaming of. Let’s make these last days count!

Until next time,

Kay & Ele Crowknuckle Studios
