*TRINITY GEAR is a robotic vehicle with double DUAL DRIVE devices! Produced with very large size compare to other DUAL GEAR! Equipped with massive and heavy weapon!
About DUAL GEAR Mech!
DUAL GEAR is the 6 meters humanoid vehicle for military tactical developed side by side with astronaut robotic technology from the biggest worldwide cooperation of space development organization to built the orbital energy station "Gaia Belt"(also known as the Gaia Belt project). Trinity Element(TEC), the company associated with the most powerful government produced the first dual gears squad for space orbital defend (Call Orbital Gear at the first) until Gaia Belt was attacked by unidentified terrorist. TEC make the decision to deploy the Orbital Gear squad to intercept the terrorist. Despite their impressive effort, the Gaia Belt is heavily damaged. After the incident, the Orbital Gear evolved into Dual Gear, a surface tactical unit. TEC begin mass producing DG and sold them to the client worldwide, including the PMC.
Movement SystemDual Gear used original movement inspired from Japanese mecha Anime. Several movement will remind you of several classic Japanese Mecha Anime.
![]()
The game uses GP gauge as the energy for the mech to move. movement such as the regular move to location, dash and boost will consume the GP gauge. When depleted, the unit won't be able to move anymore that turn.
Combat System
The attack system of DUAL GEAR is a mixed of real-time shooting and quick performance(skill, etc) cut scene.
The game uses a system called Action Skill, which is a combined of two elements. First is the action point(AP), the other is the Generator Output(GP). Every skill will have their own requirement to activate.
for example, the weapon that has huge damage output or ability to hit multiple targets will need 1 or 2 action point and a lot of GP to activate.
![]()
Like basic classic TBS game, the combat system included the range and percentage accuracy. Both are related with pilot status and any weapon equipped. Skill may have an effect on them too, increasing or decreasing the accuracy, making more damage or have more chance to get a critical hit.
Turn by turn and unit by unit
From the third-person perspective gameplay, the important of the system is how to order multiple units in the squad. The game limited the of the movement and attack by GP gauge and action point. While the unit is moving, the enemy within range will attack the player unit. The attacking will stop when player mech stops moving, this opens the player to plan out a strategy. Should we attack another enemy or move to the new position again before changing the unit or ending turn. This system made squad and resource management extremely important.
Weapons
![]()
All skill come from the weapon. The player will get the skill from any weapon equipped, which can easily be assign into the skill wheel. As the pilot become more experience, they will unlock new skills. All DG unit have a capacity to attach 4+1 weapon included L arm ,R arm, L shoulder, R shoulder and plus with some backpack have a weapon built in. Try out the Pre-Apha demo if you want to know how any weapon work!

Damage System
DUAL GEAR has a durability system set by AP&CP gauge. AP gauge is Armor Power. This is the durability of outer armor. CP gauge is Core Power. it's mean the durability gauge of the inner frame. AP is the first protection before CP when AP is 0, Outer armor will be destroyed. After that the part will have only CP to received damage. The parts will be destroyed when the CP are depleted.
![]()
All part and armor are destroyable. When they do, they will have several effect to the unit to the unit. For Example, when the mech lost a right arm, you will also lose the ability to use the weapon on that arm. If the leg has taken a lot of damage, the movement will be slow and consume more GP than normal.
Hangar System
![]()
Hangar mode is the command center of your mech squad. Upgrade & Build your squad, custom your unit, mission briefing, and find the secret story from here. The hangar will evolve (DG part in store, mission quest or etc) depend on your location of the mother base (there are several scatter around the world). Let see the detail below about this game mode.
Mech Customization
![]()
DUAL GEAR let the player custom their own mech and team. Every DG is composed of five main parts, The Main Camera(Head), Cockpit, Arms, Legs and Back Pack. Each part have unique initial status and role in the game. As an example, the high weight Legs have a higher durability and resistant value. However, it will slow the DG movement down and use a lot of GP when that mech move.
See the how to coloring your DG!
![]()
The player can custom the color, add pattern and camouflage of the DG part by part. Don't forget to choose your emblem and become the ace right now!
Carrier System
![]()
The carrier system is very necessary for all mission, as it is the way the squad enters the battlefield. Some mission will need a land carrier like a big trailer, air carrier to enter the ocean battlefield or The orbital carrier for the space battlefield. There will be at lease 10 type of the carrier player can choose from. Every carrier will have different stat and ability, DualGear capacity they can carry and even support fire abilities.
Mission System
![]()
The game encouraged the player to discover and unlock mission around the world.
Every mission will be replayable, in order to discover new part, secret intel, and hidden story line. The player can also set a handicap for the mission for higher rewards and EXP.
Pilot Recruit System
As a commander of one of the PMC, it is crucial on recruiting pilot. Through the command center around the world, you can recruit experienced and skillful pilot. Every pilot can gain EXP and LV up, gaining skills and abilities as well. The better your pilot is, the stronger your squad become.
Tactical Negotiation System
This is one of the ideas we are planning to add in the future. When the enemy unit surrendered and is in the white flag condition. The play will be able to attempt to recruit them into your pilot. There will also be chances of getting new parts from negotiation too. The negotiation is counted as Action Skill.
Dual Drive (Deva Drive or CSD)
The system helped the pilot to control the DG. The DD, a device base on quantum computing, worked directly with pilot conscious. The process 90% mapped the human brain, allowing the pilot to be more efficient with the DualGear. This system is related to the chain combination attack that we will release more detail soon.

Story
DUAL GEAR is set in 2064, The new beginning of space innovation. The new energy source was discovered in space. Most powerful nations of the world and various astronautic organization integration to build the largest structure on the earth orbit call Gaia Belt, the photonµwave energy receiver station from the moon power plant.
Gaia Belt project affect the astronautic robotic technology greatly, hasten the development of the astronautic development. 2101, the first phase of Gaia Belt is completed and the testing of the microwave receiver begun. Then an unidentified terrorist attack the station. Despite a heroic attempt of the Orbital Gear squad to intercept the attack, the station was heavily damaged. The attack destroys part of the station, causing it an explosion. The explosion causes a chain reaction, destroying several other orbital structures and falling into Earth. The incident leaves behind ruin atmosphere and severe destructive outcome on Earth. The world would need 100 years to recover from this incident.
TEC blame the other organization as being too weak and force them out of the space program. They leave the astronautic development behind and turn to focus on more militaristic development instead.
DUAL GEAR is the result of the Gaia Belt incident. TEC began selling the war machines to military around the world.

Questions about Become The Ace and Beginning of ACE perks.
We got a lot of question about the perks to let you become an original pilot in the game. Let check about its below!
Q: When and Where my pilot image will appear in the game.
A: Pilot image will show on Battle Situation Also, face expression module depend on any situation and have dynamic dialog(Text)
Q: My pilot will have a voice over?
A: We have a basic Voice Over for all recruitable pilot or enemies pilot (Example Arrgg!, Nooo!, Taisho! and more.) Also, you can choose for male or female voice.
Q: Have an epic cut scene like SRW game ?.
A: Oh! That is also my dream, but we don't have this module. We were focusing on mech cutscene like Armored Core and overlay with a 2D pilot UI box when they were talking, but only for a story character. So maybe add something special for a backer pilot! (You can share your idea!)
Q: Where is a biography of my pilot appears in the game?
A: There are in a recruit pilot module(Hangar Manager), We deciding about how it was working on this module. So we can talk a little about it, that like you use your device to contact people!
Q: How Different about Beginning of ACE and Become The ACE?
A: There are different by Digital and Physical reward type. The Beginning of ACE is only for digital rewards with "draw your pilot image to the game." So Become The Ace is preferred for physical reward. Backer also, receive a printed version of your pilot including in your game box!
Q: This game have any pre-made protagonist and main characters in pilots?
A: Yes, But we need a bit of time before deploying an info about that. So all backer who's backed for ACE perks will get our document about the story, character, and fact of DUAL GEAR world before start talking for backer-pilot create.
Q: If I want my pilot to be a humanoid or android It's possible to do?
A: Yes! Sure this is freely for your idea. But we do not prefer about if you want to use a licensed character from anywhere( Also you're Emblem Idea does not bring direct from any licensing graphic)

Are you interest for a new production line of DUAL GEAR mech? We have a lot of idea about new DG types for the game. One of that idea is a Transformable mech. If it happens, transform-able DG will give a different ability for any situation and mission. Example, speed change when to transform to vehicle mode or be able to use unique skills attack the enemies. We plan for three different type of "TDG" Track Type, Hover Type, and Heli Type. If we can reach this stretch goal, we have more reward for all backer on the 1st and 2nd campaign. You can choose one of three "TDG" put to your hangar!
