- Roadmap Progress and Demo Updates - 10 June 2026
Hello hello hello! Some time has passed since our last update and we've been pretty quiet, but that's just because we've been 100% focused on improving the game and getting ready for launch! Thanks to the feedback we got last year from playtesters and demo players, we set our aim on improving how some of the mechanics work/synergize together, as well as making the core run flow tighter and more focused on the parts that matter the most: battles and build/skill crafting ;) We talked about some of these points in out last post, so let's get into the details:Skill output reworkSkill-crafting is one of the main hooks of the game, but because the system behind it is a bit complex, we were running into issues where some skills were not working really well with effects from runes attached to them, or even with other modifiers active on the casting character. Because our goal is to keep adding…

- Devlog #4 - New Characters and Skill Reworks - 6 March 2025
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, r…

Hello, one more time we are here to let you know what's new in Trinity Archetype!

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.

- Devlog #1 - Tutorial rework, Conversations and Art Updates - 5 July 2024
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 e…
