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