Demo Hotfix #01
[p]Hey Zodiac Challengers, If you’re late to the news... yes, the DEMO is live! It’s packed with improvements from Playtests 1 and 2, plus a sneak peek of Act 2 in the form of a brand-new biome: the vast desert.[/p][p]![]()
[/p][p]It’s only been a week since the demo launched, and you’ve already kept us busy with your sharp eyes and quick reflexes. From bug reports to balance notes (and even a few wild combos we didn’t see coming), you’ve helped us tune the Trials.[/p][p]![]()
[/p][p]Today we’re serving up the first batch of fixes and updates, focused on the most common issues you raised during Week 1. Think of it as a taste test, as the Pig might say, before the main feast. More tweaks and a few surprises are already simmering for the next update. 🙂[/p][p][/p][h3]Floaty jumps? We hear you loud and clear.[/h3][p]Not something we're proud of but it seems we changed some values in the code by accident, leading to floaty falls from jumps. [/p][h3]Share with us what you think about this change after trying the new build so we know whether we're on the right path.[/h3][p]![]()

[/p][p][/p][h2]🗨 Join the Conversation & Shape the Future[/h2][p]There’s so much more waiting in the demo, but the only way to truly discover it is to dive in and experience it for yourself. Play it, enjoy it, and let us know what you think. If you believe in what we’re building, we’d be deeply grateful if you could share the demo with friends, join our community on Discord, and let us hear your feedback so we can keep making 13Z the best it can be[/p][p][/p][p]You can find us on: [/p][p]Discord / X (Twitter) / Tiktok / Youtube / Reddit [/p][p][/p][p]Crafted with Love,
