Greetings! It has been a while but we have been working hard and moving things around! These past few months we have been working on improving skill, both in design and making sure they can be understood more easily, having customizable skill in these kind of games can get out of control fast, specially when that is the main idea! There are also a couple new faces in the horizon...

Skills Rework

Descriptions and Icons

Before, complex skills could be tricky to read since they could have different target overrides depending on the equipped Rune so we decided to group information based on target type and effects to apply. After that we also reduced the clutter by removing repeated descriptions when boosting a skill!

Before (Boosted Once)

After

Not Boosted

Full base skill description, possible boosted effects showing as well.

Boosted Once

Extra effects are applied to the base description, removing Boost 1 effects and leaving Boost 2 information available!

Fully Boosted

All boost information is reflected on the base description and the target type also changes accordingly! We have also improved the way the modifiers and their names/icons are shown so it is easier to plan ahead knowing how they work.

Design

Design-wise we have been making a lot of tweaks and changes so player can have more variety each turn in addition to rework a couple modifiers that felt a little flat. More juicy details will come at a later date!

New characters

We have also introduced two new characters to the game, these two bring their own unique mechanics, modifiers and Inspire skills!

Codename: Alice

She's a humanoid bunny warrior from the wastelands (second biome), she left her tribe looking for the strange being luring her out of the village, she eventually inherited the blessing of the Archetype of Pain.

Multi Hits and Rage Mechanic

Alice focuses on multi hit attacks and giving her allies the same capabilities using the Rage modifier, this new modifier gives +1 hit for any the next offensive skill every 6 Rage stack! As long as Alice is Inspiring, each ally gets 1 Rage after executing a skill.

Codename: Goblino Butler

As a former server of the King Goblino, he managed to escape the corruption and inherited the blessing of the Archetype of Cunning.

Monster Skills and Items

Goblino Butler specializes in recasting and stealing enemy skills as well as combine them with his own! He is probably the most tricky unit to master, beside this he can also create random items during battle which may or may not behave differently than usual... And there you have it! As usual, any comment or questions let us know on the comments down here or join us on Discord!

Hello, one more time we are here to let you know what's new in Trinity Archetype! This past month we have been focused on putting every core mechanic together so you have a better feel of what the game loop would be. With this in place, we can focus on balancing and giving a good curve to keep you engaged and wanting "one more fight.".

New Demo

Added Features

Artifacts

We mentioned working on this in the previous devblog; they are here finally, and you can try them in the new demo! Get them from elite battles or from the new treasure node on the map!

Improved Runes

Equipping runes to your current skills is one of our main mechanics in Trinity Archetype but we have gotten feedback on a lack of variety and impact from them, so we did a little rework to give you more interesting and impactful options. Currently, there are about 70 runes implemented and because of this, we have also made it so you can choose between three runes on the reward screen, more options to plan ahead!

Items Rework

Items were a little underwhelming, we put in some work and redid them from scratch! With the new useful effects, items can definitely get you out of tricky moments in battle.

Meta Progression

Either you win or lose a run, you will get points depending on the actions you took so far and use them to unlock new Artifacts, Items and even skills (in future updates).

Game Events

We have a couple new digital/online events in the coming months, we will announce our participation as they come, right now we are part of the Game Devs of Color Expo, we are very excited for this opportunity so be sure to check Trinity Archetype new demo and other games in it as well!

Welcome again! Here are some advancements and changes in Trinity Archetype since our last devlog, take a look:

Revamped Tutorial

The new tutorial will take a more relaxed approach, guiding you step by step and making sure the main mechanics are clear before you continue by yourself. We have also added conversations so that you can get to know the different personalities in your party.

Artifacts

Artifacts are here! These beautiful trinkets will be rewarded when fighting elite enemies or from special events throughout the map, these can enhance all your party at once, unlocking more advance reactions and options. Here's a few of these artifacts:

• Patience Pendant: On player turn #4, gain +2 AP.
  
• Hungry Sword: Every 5 attacks, random unit adds +5 Critical.
  
• Equality Mirror: On player turn end: Odd turn #: Copy random player modifier and apply to enemy. Even turn #: Copy random enemy modifier and apply to player unit.
  
• Pacifist Pin: On player turn end, units that didn't deal damage gain +4 Shield
  

New Demo

We have been working hard on a new demo with a more complete game loop to introduce the artifacts and also adding new runes, items, enemies. So stay tuned!

Hello everyone! We wanted to make sure you know what's been happening with Trinity Archetype so from now on we'll do a devlog showing some of the updates from the previous month! We have been in a couple festivals this year including the Endless Replayability 2024, since then we have gotten a lot of feedback (THANK YOU!) and we have made some changes to improve the game.

Overwhelming Tutorials

This was the main complain we had during our tests, game has too many mechanics thrown at you at the same time, this can be overwhelming for most people so we toned it down a little, improved the flow of the tutorial battle and broke it down in different turns.

Conversations

We also implemented a dialogue system to give more life to our characters adding banter and more "soul" in general. We have been wanting to have in-battle events where you can get extra context and lore for a while so we are excited it's happening!

On Art department

We have been working on a new area with new enemies, for now we'll show a sneak peak! We have also been updating the skill icons to replace the generic ones we had, these new icons are fully customized and have a better idea on what the skill really does!
Finally, let us introduce a new monster from the new desert area, Catic is a versatile enemy that changes it's behavior depending on which flower they sprout!
Thanks for reading and stay in touch on Discord!
