Hello everyone! It\'s been a month since our last post, so we wanted to give you an update on what\'s happening and what\'s coming next.

End of Kickstarter campaign

\nSome of you might have seen this recently, but sadly we were not able to complete our funding goal for the Kickstarter campaign.

\nAs we have mentioned previously, the goals of the campaign revolved mostly around allocating extra development time before the game\'s launch, have more content variety, better marketing, localizing into more languages and improved visuals.

\nRegardless of the campaign not succeeding, we\'ve always been committed to launch a polished and fun game, and we\'re very very much motivated to do so! Nothing stops this train .

Early Access (Launch) Roadmap

\nWith Early Access coming Q2 2026, we wanted to give you a heads up of what we have planned for the journey to release.

\nWhile a lot of this can be adjusted as we go or moved to after release, these are the goals we want to complete:

Skill output rework

\nWe\'ve received a lot of feedback from you regarding some skill/modifier/rune effects being inconsistent or confusing when mixing together, mainly damage related outputs not getting calculated as expected.

\nThis is something we\'ve been aware for a long time, so the time has finally come for us to fix this and have a more robust system that will allow us to do better balancing across the board, keep adding new skills/runes and in general have a more fun/clear crafting system to play around with!

\nAt the moment this is one of our main focus points, so expect a new demo (beta) update soon with these new changes (we\'ll need all the feedback we can get!).

UI/UX improvements

\nThere are several improvements we want to the game UI, also based on a lot of feedback we\'ve gotten from online and in-person playtests.

\nSome of these will be focused on improving the experience for newer players that are not yet familiar with the core mechanics, mainly with the rune and the crafting system. Since this is the game\'s secret sauce, we want to make runes easier to understand/use and not something you might forget in your inventory after you win a battle.

\nUpdates for UI changes will be rolling out gradually as we improve different parts of it.

Tutorial improvements

\nAlso related to the previous point, we will be making some changes to the tutorial to make it easier for new players to understand and get into the game, since we\'ve seen this has been one of our biggest issues when getting new people to try our demo.

Map rework

\nCurrently our overworld map is HEAVILY Inspired in a popular type of map in the genre (you know which one), we have found this could make the game longer than it needs to be so we will try a new approach that fits more this game and goes well with our main customization mechanics.

\nWith a rework of this system, we would also be able to fine-tune the battles/events that happen during Act 1, and possibly add new ones ;)

Item rework

\nThis is another piece that needs to be better integrated with the rest of the game: Items right now are consumable in battle, but need to be equipped outside of it to a character (one per character). We want to remove the equip step and just allow you to use any item from your inventory in battle, more like a traditional JRPG.

New Character - Goblino Butler joins the fray!

\nG.B. comes heavy with new Inspire mechanics, skills revolving around item usage, capturing enemies and... let\'s leave it at that.

Act 2 - Wastelands Biome

\nWe have shown a few enemies and parts of the second biome in the trailers and screenshots, this brings new enemies with unique buffs/debuffs, as well as new world events and of course, new bosses!

Run difficulty modifiers

\nWe want to provide ways to tackle higher difficulty/challenges in runs, more details on this will come later so stay tuned.

Localization

\nAs we mentioned in a previous post, we were able to do a lot of work for the Spanish localization of the game, as we were participating in a public exhibition in Argentina and we wanted people to try the game in their native language.

\nFor Early Access we want to finish this localization, and at least launch with a third language ready (and more to come afterwards).

Balance changes and smaller tweaks

\nThere\'s much more feedback we\'ve received around balancing and improvements that\'s not really covered by these other points, but that we still want to tackle before and after the Early Access release as part of smaller updates.

Community contributions

\nWe keep adding runes/skills/artifacts and doing balancing rounds as much as possible, we do not follow a specific schedule and we take into consideration all the ideas in the \"ideas\" sections on Discord, give us your thoughts and your Artifact, Runes or Skills might make it to the game!

As always, reach us here or on Discord .

Hello everyone, we\'re happy to announce that our Kickstarter is finally LIVE!!!

It\'s been a month of hard work preparing for this, but if we are able to run a successful campaign, we will be able to give the game an even stronger push before and during our Early Access release.

As we mentioned in a previous post, these are some of the goals the campaign would help us with:

• Localizing the game into multiple languages.

  [/*]

• Adding a bigger variety of characters, skills, enemies, events, etc.

  [/*]

• Improved visuals for UI and skill effects.

  [/*]

• Console ports.

  [/*]

Stay tuned for more updates, and also keep an eye out for new updates/builds as we will resume regular development and work on past/current feedback.

As always, reach us here or on Discord .

Greetings everyone!

A small update on what\'s going on currently:

Kickstarter campaign launching on November 15th

[img src=\"https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/41030618/677a2fbdf4bd1fe878e7cbe4acdab627cf757e88.png\"][/img]

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/machinatorcorp/trinity-archetype

Were getting ready to launch our Kickstarter campaign! As we mentioned in previous news, we are releasing the game in Q2 2026, so from now until then were in that last stretch of development.

Running a successful campaign would give us the Boost (get it?) we need to achieve some of the goals we have before and during the Early Access release, including:

• Localizing the game into multiple languages.

  [/*]

• Adding a bigger variety of characters, skills, enemies, events, etc.

  [/*]

• Improved visuals for UI and skill effects.

  [/*]

• Console ports.

  [/*]

Kickstarter campaign or not, we are committed to launching a very polished and fun game next year but that extra push would help us go the extra mile!

You can join the waitlist to be notified when we launch.

EVA Play

[img src=\"https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/41030618/7dbf6524ccda1be12654777ced5a31681da70526.png\"][/img]

We\'re happy to announce we\'ll be showcasing Trinity Archetype at the EVA Play in Buenos Aires on November 7th-8th! This is gonna be a very packed event, so it\'s a pretty big opportunity for us to interact with a lot of people and get more feedback on the game.

Come and say hi if you are in Buenos Aires!

Beta (Demo) branch

[img src=\"https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/41030618/e5d73854d2f35558a72bcdfd29bd19731e2750f8.png\"][/img]

Based on community feedback, we\'ve been updating the demo build more regularly to fix bugs or add new content. However in doing so we quickly realized there\'s always the risk to break some more stuff!

Because of this, we\'ve introduced a new Beta branch for the Demo, which we can update more often and test out new changes before bringing those to the default branch. So if you wanna check what\'s the newest and latest, play on the beta branch but expect things to (possibly!) be a bit more broken (and please let us know if you find any bugs!).

Since we are currently getting ready for both the Kickstarter Campaign and the EVA Play, dev progress is a bit slow at the moment. However, once that\'s done, we\'ll be back in full force with new and exciting changes! So keep an eye out for that.

As always, reach us here or in Discord .

Hello everyone, long time no see!

We\'ve been hard at work on Trinity Archetype these past few months, it\'s been a while since the last update (sorry!), so let\'s recap on what\'s been happening:

Release window

Some of you may have noticed that we\'ve updated the game\'s release date from \"Coming Soon\" to \"Q2 2026\", as we get closer to the Early Access release. A proper release date will be announced later, so keep your eyes open for that.

Kickstarter launch

Something else you might have seen if you tried the demo recently: We\'re getting ready to launch a Kickstarter campaign pretty soon! There will be another post soon with more details on this, but for now go ahead and join the waitlist: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/machinatorcorp/trinity-archetype

Discord growing

With the recent video from Retromation on Trinity Archetype (go check it out if you haven\'t!), we\'ve had a new influx of players join our Discord server, and things have gotten pretty active! Don\'t miss out and join the conversation: https://discord.gg/czSPFfhG

Demo Updates

As we continue development towards the game\'s release, we\'ve been updating the demo with the latest additions and improvements. Here\'s some of the most notable changes since our last update:

A New Challenger Appears!

We talked about her before, but since then she\'s become fully playable in the demo: Bonnie kicks into high gear! With a focus on dealing multi-hit critical attacks, she\'s a perfect fit for those looking into a more offensive playstyle.

Gamepad and SteamDeck Support

The game finally has proper gamepad support, therefore it is now perfectly playable on a SteamDeck! Perfect for those of us who love gaming on the couch ;)

Burly Goblino opens up the Forge!

You wanted to add that extra Rune of Recast to your skill that already hits all enemies AND steals their shields? Just visit the forge and add more rune slots to your already busted up skills.

New Skills and Runes

More skills have been added to the game, so that each character will always have a selection of 3 different skills when leveling up. Lots of new runes have also been added to the demo, with many more coming later on!

[img src=\"https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/41030618/450c66707b0296328d8ac8229fc0eaaecb664ded.png\"][/img]

All in all, exciting times ahead! As usual, we are open to feedback on here or Discord .
