The grimdark universe of Warhammer 40,000 can be daunting to dive into! This is why we're are thrilled to introduce the second episode of the “Titus Talks” a 3-part video series presented by Lieutenant Titus himself, Clive Standen, and dedicated to welcoming newcomers to the rich expanse that is the 41st millennium. ✨

• Who are they?
  
• How were they originally created?
  
• What is their story?

Presented by Clive Standen, who voices Lieutenant Titus in the game, today’s video lecture serves as an introduction to a multi-part series.

An upcoming part three will come later. It will discuss what it all means in the grand setting of the game itself.

Hello everyone!

We’re thrilled to announce that the Block Factory demo is now available for you to download and play!

In this demo, you’ll have access to the first two levels, Ocean and Farm, from the Pioneers Land archipelago - just one of the many level groups featured in the final game. Each level includes four unique figurines with varying shapes, sizes, and colours for you to construct using an array of machines.

The figurines in this demo are simpler compared to those in later levels, so you can expect more complex and challenging builds in the full version of the game.

For those who participated in the playtest, we’ve implemented several changes based on your feedback. We focused on quality of life improvements, most notably revamped keybinds and hotkeys.

Additionally, we’re excited to announce that the Creative Mode will be added to the demo in a future update. The figurine editor that will allow you to design and build your own creations. You’ll also be able to share them with friends and fellow block enthusiasts. So stay tuned!

You can also join our Discord to discuss your ideas with us and other players!

Don’t forget to wishlist Block Factory if you enjoy your time playing the demo!

Hey Zodiac Challengers, welcome to the very first Global Playtest for 13Z!

We just cracked open the doors to the Zodiac Trials, giving you an early sneak peek at our hack-and-slash action roguelike game inspired by the legend of the 12 Eastern Zodiacs. Step into the challenge and help us shape the adventure with your feedback and suggestions.



While co-op isn’t available in this build yet, please share 13Z with your friends—the more feedback we receive, the better we can fine-tune the game. If you're excited about what you see, be sure to wishlist 13Z too! :)

Now, let’s dive into what you can expect in this playtest build!

Take on the first act of the Zodiac Trials as one of the challengers gunning for the 13th Zodiac spot: Lyra the Fox also known as the Peerless Sword.



Unleash your unique abilities, boosted with upgrades and elemental powers collected along the way, as you tackle hordes of enemies. Face off against two formidable mini-bosses and gear up for the ultimate battle against the Goat Zodiac in the Act’s thrilling final showdown! If you stumble, don’t worry—there’s a welcoming village to nurse your spirits, so you can return to the trials stronger than ever!

The trials are not just about endurance and strength—they’re about strategy and skill. Practice your ‘perfect dodge’ against the heavy-hitting Gronks or show off your aerial combat prowess against the flying Cursed Lanterns.


Each enemy is designed to test a different aspect of your combat skills. But beyond these common foes, be prepared for more daunting battles ahead.


Goldcroak the Guardian of Day and Treasures, lurking within the waterfalls.


The Moth Queen, the Night Guardian, casting whirlwinds with her relentless wings.


The formidable Goat Zodiac, commanding his flurry of sheeps and barraging you with flying spears in the Act’s final battle.

Your journey through the Zodiac Trials isn’t just fraught with peril but opportunities for growth and power. Some upgrades appear upon clearing a level while pretty nifty perks are unlocked as permanent rewards for your past efforts in trying to beat the trials.


Elemental Scrolls: These are tied to elements that enhance your skills. While there will be more elemental choices in the future, the current playtest features the first three—Fire, Water, and Lightning—each with its own unique effect. Imagine leaving a trail of lightning with every dash, or summoning a fire spirit after executing your Special move. It’s your call!


Anvils: Customize your skills's attributes to better suit your play style. One of this dev’s favorite anvil upgrades is Falling Willows combined with the Secondary attack! ;)


Blessings: As you prove your worth, the 12 Zodiac Guardians may bestow blessings upon you… for a price.

Whether you aim for brute strength, agility, or strategic control, dive in and discover what works best for you!

If the trials knock you down, Turtle Village is where you stand back up to chill until you’re ready to jump back into the fray.

You’ll discover intriguing side quests, bump into future challengers like the Raven and Panda who aren’t quite ready to join the trials just yet and unlock permanent upgrades at the Cultivation Tree using Jade earned from your past attempts.


You’ll be greeted by Fu Xi, the volunteer custodian of the makeshift village. He’s cleverly created variants of his likeness to maintain order as we await the arrival of all the Guardians. Don’t be fooled by his youthful looks and demeanor—rumor has it he’s at least 500 years old!



Why is the village named Turtle Village? While we can’t spill all the secrets just yet, venturing beyond its bounds might give you some intriguing clues… ;)

This playtest is just the beginning. You're getting a firsthand look at our work in progress, complete with some placeholders and the occasional bugs. Apart from overall polish, here's what's on the horizon for the full game:

• A deeper roguelike experience with more impactful builds and meaningful choices;
  
• More playable characters;
  
• Co-op mode;
  
• Three more Acts, each set in unique landscapes guarded by their own Zodiac Guardians;
  
• A bustling village, full of new NPCs and quests to discover between Trials;
  
• More elements, skills, and abilities to experiment with!
  
• Game balancing and combat mechanics will be prioritized to enhance the overall player experience.

We truly value your insights and suggestions at this stage, so please don't hesitate to share them with us. Along with the in-game survey, our detailed feedback form below offers more questions and space for you to freely express your thoughts and comments.
