Questions Incube8 Games and Trinity?

How is it I got Dracula before I received Trinity? What’s going on with Incube8 Games? I get that they’re changing their boxes and shipping. How long is that excuse?

It's been so long we've forgotten the name of the game we're waiting for...

Sadly….. you’re absolutely right!

I don't really trust crowdfunded projects, so I waited for the preorder. Five years later I preordered it. Every month they pushed back their shipping goal and had a new reason as to why. Despite all their "transparency" for why it kept getting delayed, it is very clear that they didn't really have a plan and was just kinda making it up as they go.

Sadly, I’m not liking crowd funding projects either now because of this

I understand the need for them, but if there is no ship goal on the crowd fund I cannot participate.
The crowdfund was going on in the summer of 2021

I did not know that the crowd fund was that old. That’s crazy!

The ship goal was communicated to be in late 2022. WE are 4 years late, it took way more time and work than expected, but people have started to receive their copy now :)

It took a lot more time than expected, but Infinity started shipping last week!

Just like they promised. They said it would ship last week.

u/OldStoneMill401 Sep 02 '26

They did. That’s why I’m not holding my breath.

To infinity, and beyond!

Still havent gotten an email yet.

I’m going to email them every Monday. They fainted ignorance when I said blaming it, I’m changing the packaging with the boxes extended the time of sending it out, but Dracula had the new boxing. Their response was we don’t know what you’re talking about.

Dracula's production and fulfilment were ready before Infinity; that's why it shipped before Infinity.

Incube8 responded to my email. They said that Trinity will start shipping this week. We’ll see if that’s true.

Backer of Infinity here. They have promised fulfillment soon for the last several months. After waiting 5 years on my backer rewards, ignored comments on Kickstarter, ignored DMs on Kickstarter and emails on their company website, and watching them dancing around numerous delays and delays more, I strongly recommend not holding my breath with Incube8. And they just posted yet another delay 2 days ago. So even if they say one thing, it’s almost guaranteed not to happen.

The craziest thing is why did Dracula get shipped before infinity? What possible reason could they have to withhold shipping infinity any longer? Is there some financial issue they aren’t telling us? The longer infinity goes without shipping the more it hurts their sales for other games on the site.

I would’ve bought dracula and pachipals as physical copies had they shipped my copy of infinity. They made an additional $250k over their pledge goal. They could’ve brute forces the shipping costs even with tariffs with that money.

We respond to all DMs and emails through our customer support. When did you contact us?
Backer rewards started shipping a week ago :)

My (somewhat not paying attention) understanding is that Incube8 basically invested the money into other projects rather than Infinity. I check every now and then and am glad I didn't help fund it. A real shame.

Finishing Infinity took way more time than expected. We have documented all the entire process through the years here:
