Hello Challengers! It’s time for another little roundup of what’s been happening in and around 13Z: The Zodiac Trials.
But first things first...
WE HIT 114,000 WISHLISTS! 🎉
THANK YOU!!! We probably should have celebrated when we hit 100,000. But, to be completely honest, we've been so busy devving the game that... we forgot.
So instead, we're celebrating at 114,000 wishlists!
Now we're this close to another nice round number… Can we make it to 115,000 soon? 🤞
Dev Diary Highlights
🐼 Highlight #1: PANDA! ...ICYMI.
Yes. There's a Panda. His name is Cai Li the Iron Brawler, and he's the third playable Challenger we've revealed for 13Z. Full Deep-Dive Here: View game page
🐓 Highlight #2: Rooster’s Call
Can the Rooster’s airship be part of the Zodiac Call lineup? Seems possible... 👀
Imagine calling it in to rain absolute destruction on your foes with a heavy bombardment — and maybe even having defeated enemies shower the field with gold coins.
👺 Highlight #3: DEV HELL SURVIVOR!
Let us introduce you to an enemy stuck in literal dev hell: the Four-Faced Demon, the foe that simply will not stay dead! We still aren't sure whether he'll be part of the final roster but we thought he deserves a little spotlight.
💛Community Highlights💛
As always, we wanted to end with some of the things you have been making!
Lyra, please. 😳 zzz_meiling_zzz made Lyra look way too hot… and we're not complaining.

IAmYun made a quick sketch of an emoji-worthy version of a very shocked Lyra!
Last Call: Voice Auditions for 13Z!
One more day before audition closes. We’ve received tons and we’re so excited to go through them and match them to our characters over the weekend!

That's everything for this roundup!
We're getting closer and closer to the next big stretch of development, so things are getting a little hectic around the studio — but it's also incredibly exciting seeing all these pieces we've been working on finally coming together.
Thank you again for sticking with us.
And, uh… 115,000 next? 👀🤞
.....
We're also working on an exciting new preview and deep-dive so stay tuned!
