Wen game, wen heal?
We know, we know, things have gotten delayed and delayed and we are very sorry about the state of development and lack of updates. If anything we'd want the game to be up and running already but things unfortunately take way longer than expected, especially for a small team like us and many of us doing this for the first time and creating everything from scratch.
We hope the long wait will be worth it once we get to launch!
In this post, we wanted to announce a few new creatures, we haven't put a lot of work into growing our creature roster lately as funding has been tight so we've focused that towards game development, some backend and frontend stuff like vial opening and 3d work mainly.
Our lack of social activity, mainly here, has been due to there not being too much official things to announce, although @acidyo has been posting thoughts, plans and insights on the game and its economy here and there in case you have missed them. We'll try to reblog those unofficial posts a bit more in the future so you can stay up to date in case you're only following this account.
Once we feel that things have fallen into place, such as alpha vials being launched and alpha testing being up and running, we will definitely attempt to keep this account more active with diverse activities, contests, etc. As well as updating our whitepaper and roadmap, for now things are still quite uncertain when they're going to get launched, but one thing we know for sure is that we're not giving up and will continue working towards our game slowly but surely.
Let's take a look at some new creature reveals!
While we have already spoiled this creature over in our Discord a while ago, we finally got around to naming them!
Ermy is a new favorite of our community, its cute looks are inspired from the Mouintain Ermine. In Holozing it'll be a quick and fearsome creature with a high chance at critical strikes. What it lacks in defenses it'll attempt to make up in agility and dodge chance while still doing some okay damage output towards enemies throughy icy attacks that may slow them down even further!
Ermo is its evolved form, upon evolution it'll receive a boost in stats but the focus will remain the same, speed, agility and elusiveness. Double the tails does not equal double the damage, but it might get in an extra hit on some attacks compared to Ermy which may mean an extra chance to freeze enemies too!
This next creature is fresh out of the oven, our inspiration was spiders but with a twist to their legs!
Arachlet is the base evolution of this creature, it's small but already quite large legs that act as a shield to its body. This creature will be quite tanky for being a bug type due to its tough legs acting as a shield.
Arachlyte is the next stage, its legs become larger to cover the growing body but they start becoming sharper as well allowing for its shield to also be used as damage output and suffer recoil to incoming physical attacks.
Araclydon is the highest evolution of this creature, its majestic sword-legs can now deal much higher recoil on physical attacks and continue working as shields to incoming attacks. While this bug type can't learn poison type attacks, it makes it up with its tanky nature being able to take a lot of hits before it faints and at the same time cause bleeds on enemy creatures both from recoil and its physical attacks.
While we can't announce a launch date for our Alpha Vial openings yet, we wanted to let you know that we're working on it and hope to be able to do so soon and are excited to see what ya'll will get! May the holo and radiant odds be in your favor!
With the alpha vial launch, we also wanna make an official post soon discussing changes to collection rewards distribution from vials towards opened vials, i.e. creatures and items and how you can maximize your zing earnings or diversify them if you'd like to keep some vials closed for the future.
When we announce the alpha vial launch, we will also be announcing an end-date to our alpha vials which have been purchasable for over 11 months so far! This means that they will be replaced with Beta Vials, but we may also have something else coming up soon for our avid collectors so keep an eye out for future posts next month!
Here's a small preview of that!
There's a few more mini-announcements and changes we wanna discuss when the time comes that we cannot bring up here yet, we hope you're still with us and excited to play when things are ready. Thank you for your continued support, crowdfunding and activity in our community throughout all this time, it means a lot to us!

Lovely lovely, these new creatures revealed today are really lovely.
I've been seeing a few persons make Ermy and Ermo art, didn't know it wasn't given a name yet. It's interesting to see that this has finally been named.
While everyone are waiting and anticipating the game, I also hope it will be worth the wait.
Praying that the funds and resources to complete the pending tasks at hand towards the launch of the game be made available to the team that are working tirelessly towards the game
I think my favorite is Arachlet. I love the concept as a huge spider man fan. The twist even makes it unique. It also looks good. 😌 and like that it can cause damage not just shield. It would be interesting to see how strong the recoils are.
I like the new spider creatures in all of their stages. The art looks more polished and seems to be a good powerhouse tank by its abilities.
Better to make it perfect than a rushed game. The monsters looks amazing to be honest very interesting keep it up take as much time as you need.
Also I wanna ask how is the gameplay like? Is it a card game?
Not a card game, we may work on a gameplay video soon as we're finally working on our own 3d environment!
Hive first 3D game damn that's huge!
When I saw Araclydon I immediately thought of the Netgear Nighthawk router haha. I love it!
Is staking rewards stopped ?
Check out the discord for discussions, some hive engine changes have caused issues in collection and staking rewards. We're working on fixing it and making up for the missed days later.
Ok this new spider inspired holomon design looks really good. Kudos to the zing gang hehe. Those legs definitely make the creature stand out and has 3 evolutions already to showcase here 😍!
I remember acidyo's comment about making a spider inspired holomon a while back. Glad to see it finally materialize 😎.
Collection set is only available to purchase with zing? What about hbd or hive?
This will be zing-only for starters, since its price is a lot lower to alpha vials and our LP has matured we believe the market won't be too affected by allowing sales in Zing for the Alpha Packs, even if the team has to sell the Zing for further development.
Time to stack some zing then 😁.
I love how this spider character is made, and I love seeing the stages of its evolution, and I will make a fanart of it😁
i´m so ready too buy alpha collection Packs :)
and ofc i´m absoluty ready too open mein alpha vials
oh no, i may have named ermy as ermine while im doing it's fan art ahaha i based it on the saved name of the reference photo, but anyways! arachlythes my favorite evolution! cute!
Finally, some new creature designs that will get me started on making 3D models of someday.
I love the spider-inspired trio, but the twin-tailed Ermo looks great too!
I like it because it reminds me of Tom, the mascot of the F-14 Tomcat jet fighter, the airplane made famous in the original Top Gun movie that Maverick and Goose flew. 👍
Look at the picture below and you will see the twin tails of the Tomcat mascot, a design based on the fact that the F-14 Tomcat jet fighter has two tails (the vertical stabilizers).
It's great to see new creature reveals after a long time. The great creatures you are going to give us through these face changes are really admirable. We have already got a lot of ideas about these creatures through the creatures we have seen and learned about their characteristics.
We will definitely start working on these new creatures. Thank you very much for giving us this opportunity.The Holozing community has always given us the best, for which we are very grateful to this community.
I liked Araclydon the most. Thank you very much for telling us about its physical structure and its shape, the structure of its legs, the nature of its prey capture and its contribution to nature, and how reasonable it is as Gaming character.
Awesome new creatures and excited for the packs!
Araclydon design is awesome... 😃
Ermy Ermy Ermy! 🥰
Arachlyte - very cool name!
Yey!
Oh, but what a beauty! I'd seen Ernie once on Discord, but I didn't see him again. I did see artists making fan art of him. Now, as soon as I can, it's my turn. What beautiful additions to the game. The spiders are gorgeous.
I love them all. What a great job they did with these creatures and their evolutions 😍
!LUV
i will now have new fanart materials and i like the trio form of the spiders specially arachlet the base evolution
Sometimes our activities go beyond our reach. Only we can solve it according to our time and effort. Our enthusiasm for discovering such extraordinary games and inspiring new animals will definitely give you success. How extraordinary all the animals are will definitely play an important role in the game. Ermy Ermo and Arachlet Arachlythe and Araclydon These animals will play an important role in the game as new and great brave animals of holozing game. Along with this, everyone's sharp foot shape and sharp face shape will be a great strategy for self-defense. However, opening the dial and discovering the 3D game anew and concentrating will be a great task. The names of these great brave animals are truly a symbol of great beauty. The letters of their names in the game will help everyone to concentrate more on the game.
@holozing sir I pray to the great creator for you. Of course, all the unfinished tasks will be completed very quickly. Also, I would like to thank you very much for presenting this amazing new life, including the name unveiling, body structure and wonderful creatures to all of us, all of us who have worked hard and hard among us. Holozing game fanart always inspires me. Surely your hard work will achieve success.
Best regards @mdakash62
I like arachlet, he looks "evil"! Violet color suits well for it
so set packs are just for collection? no actual gameplay use
No gameplay for that set, but there may be other usecases for it later on.
o.o I see. thanks for answering
It is beautiful to see the development on Holosing is gradually moving forward. Cheers!
That's amazing, finally we are having some new things in the sphere. For a long time, updates are silent. We hope there will be more activity and engagement of new players. Thanks for letting us know about the interesting facts.
It's better to proceed slowly but correctly than to rush things and mess them up. I hope we see more news about the game soon. Ermy reminded me of a cute water otter.
I really like the style of ermo and ermy. Keep up the work and thank you for this preview!
i think good things take time, but patience is worth it... our excitement and enthusiasm increase with your post...
Ermy is a cute creature. It's lost his cuteness as it evolved. I can't wait for the launch.
The creatures are so beautiful, it's so exciting to see how they're expanding. I hope to see new, impressive creations!
I really liked these new characters!
I loved the spider's design. It has very striking colors and an evil look, which adds a fresh touch to Holozing's character catalog!
New creatures, new friends, and how cute everyone is. 🙏🌸☘️
Those new creatures are beautiful. I like Ermy best; she looks very cute, perfect for taking to the park. 😊
