『Dev Diary』Q4 2026 Launch Target, Demo Closure and Exploding Eggs!?

13Z: The Zodiac Trials · published 1 Apr 2026, 14:58 UTC

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Hey Zodiac Challengers, Before we dive into this month’s dev highlights…

We’re targeting Q4 2026 for 13Z: The Zodiac Trials's launch on Steam.

We’re getting closer to the finish line… but that also means the dev kitchen is more chaotic and hotter than ever! 🔥

Demo Closure 👋

We’re also taking the demo down today as we focus our efforts on making the game.

It might pop back up now and then for a few days during Steam events, but otherwise it’ll be offline until we have a major update that makes it feel a lot more like the 13Z we’re building.

To everyone who played it, dropped a review, or sent us feedback, THANK YOU.

We may also put out smaller playtests, so join our Discord if you want to keep up with the latest.

Here our the highlights from our Patreon blog this month. As always, a bunch of these are still WIP. Some are just random 'experiments' and may not make it into the final game, but if there’s anything you like, let us know in the comments!


Highlight 1: Desert Outside Tornado

The lethal Outer Tornado darkens the screen and saps your health if you stray too far. New localized Tornado Traps will also sweep any distracted challengers off their feet and into the sky.

Highlight 2: The Second Parry

This Counter Parry functions as both a graceful dodge and a heavy-hitting response to both melee and ranged threats.

Highlight 3: Rooster Zodiac's Airship dropping bomb eggs?

While you’re used to seeing this bird as a simple traveling merchant, we’ve been experimenting with giving it a slightly more... "explosive" personality. Would this make a good "Call" ability?

Highlight 4: Elite Sentinels

The Sentinel Army is graduating from "easy mode" with more aggressive Elite Swordsmen and long-reach Spearmen. These clay warriors now utilize coordinated strikes and lethal reach that force you to respect their personal space.


There’s more on our Patreon Blog, including videos, screenshots, and a deeper dive into the content being worked on behind the scenes. :)
