Working on releasing this version for Linux user's so please be patient with me guys i haven't forgot you. DLC in the works, can't wait to get that bad boy released. Thanks to all of you who didn't trash my game and tear it apart, because its the Indie developers that make the gaming world go round. Howard Robinson IV CEO Ark 22 Media LLC God Bless.

  • Terra update complete!!!! - 8 December 2020

    Planet Terra is complete. Full controller support is added. Added hidden upgrades. Updated enemy AI. UI fixes. Squashed bugs!!

  • Terra1 - 10 August 2020

    Have you ever been rushed for you to produce a result and not get to even have a chance to show the world your original vision. It's never to late and change your disappointments, into what you truly imaged . I poor my heart and soul and faith into this game every day i can breathe. Please enjoy. I'm sorry if your save file becomes broken, this is a different system.

  • Ubuntu back up - 9 March 2020

    The Ubuntu version is back up, and it is made only for ubuntu 18.04. If you want to try and play it on anything else, i can't say it will work. As most things go on linux, I cant even promise it will work on your system, but i play tested it, and it ran fine at 60 fps on Xubuntu 18.04. There is no controller support, nor will there ever be. I made this game to be played like a third-person shooter turned sideways. That being said, it does have controls written in the code through gamemaker 2's api. If it works awesome, if not, it's wasn't really supposed to. Audio groups have been pre-loaded, so hopefully it's not as intense as it used to be. There is a volume knob for sound FX and Music in the options menu, I suggest you set it to your personal preference. Cheers!! HRIV

  • Music, Sound FX, and crash fixes - 17 January 2020

    Options menu is back minus crashes. Better Music/Sound FX mix, and initial mix upon loading game. Changed some texture's and sounds all together. Minor fixes here and there. Font improvements, and fullscreen adjustments.

  • X Archetype Graphical and Audio patch - 8 November 2019

    Hey Space Cowboys! I've updated the graphics and reworked fullscreen mode along with stretching and now theres no black bars or degredation of pixels either. Sound changes include, chenged jump sound, changed Boss defeat sound, Heart sound, and Stage seletct music.

  • X Archetype Music DLC Free - 28 October 2019

    Buy the game and get the sound track free. But it's also royalty free music. I Howard Robinson IV wrote and recorded, all of it so you can use it in you own game, website, YouTube videos, or anything else you can think of. Put it on your mp3 player and crank it up to 11!

  • Cmon! Zombie Apocolypse! Crazy deal on september 30th all week long!! - 15 September 2019

    Hey Space Cow Boys!!! The Trubualtion has just begun, and the Apocalypse is just around the corner! Are you afraid of brain eating zombies? Well X Archetype is going on sale for Half OFF!!!

    Boneyard Games is moving on to the next project, but that doesn't mean this game is going to stop receiving updates and bug fixes. The price has been reduced. Please send all bugs to [email protected]. Thank you.

  • Hey Space Cowboy's. We got Cloud support!!! - 25 June 2019

    X Archetype finally has cloud support. No more starting over after format!!!!. Working on including sound track as free DLC. Thanks to all my friends and family for helping me beta test. Especially my good friend Blake, and my buddy Julio Jingey's son, Jingy Jr. (Charlie Mac). I thank the Father above I'm alive and here to be part of all this. And remember, do the right thing, no matter the cost!

  • Spring Update!!!! - 22 May 2019

    Update in tales... Bug Fixes Code Consolidations Font improvements Did not update the Digi-Bullet because it's not a glitch Fixed Indenting Fixed uneven tiles Fixed memory leak Added steam cloud save function

  • Controls & Branches - 19 February 2019

    The game has native controller support, so steams own controller support was done away with, making the game work with controllers better. The only branch of the game being developed from now on is the English Windows branch. The game no long has a Linux version.

  • Discontinued Linux and Japanese Branch. - 19 February 2019

    Putting a halt on these branches until I have proper resources to develop them correctly.

  • Clarification of complaints by Curators. - 1 February 2019

    Please see the minimum requirements for this game concerning Linux. MINIMUM: OS: Ubuntu 16.04 and up Processor: 2 Ghz Memory: 4 GB RAM Graphics: Nvidia GeForce 610 and up Storage: 300 MB available space Sound Card: On-board Additional Notes: Tested on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS Per steam policy: Important: Currently, Steam for Linux is only supported on the most recent version of Ubuntu LTS with the Unity, Gnome, or KDE desktops.

  • New Year Sale for X Archetype! - 5 January 2019

    January 6 through the 20th has 30% off. Lots of bug fixes! Now In Japanese for Windows and Linux! English in Windows and Linux as well!

  • Bug fixes and Japanese version - 25 December 2018

    Fixed issue with the save system. Japanese version for Windows and Linux released.

  • Linux stuff - 22 December 2018

    Upon further examination of the Linux controller support, X Archetype on Linux must be launched from Steam's Big Picture mode for the controller to work. This only applies to actual installations of Ubuntu, and it's flavors. The Steam/OS is always in Big Picture, so it should work with a controller by default.

  • Tutorial update!!! - 19 December 2018

    Added a short tutorial when starting a new game to explain all the players basic movements. Changed some fonts to better fit the screen.

  • Linux controller support works now. - 18 December 2018

    I reworked the controls through the steam controller config. All changes were done through the steam-works API so there is no update to the game itself. For those who haven't figured out, there is a dash button (much like the slide in Warframe) and there is also the ability to high jump if you hold up and jump (much like Warfame as well). There are a few spots in the game the player must use these to progress. The game is meant to be played at a fast pace. The first play through is incredibly easy, so the player can get the hang of the shooting and dashing physics. The second play through is much more difficult. I plan on making some kind of guide or tutorial to explain the controls in better detail, and also add remapping as well. HRIV

About this game

All music added with game for free All songs in X Archetype are zipped up from the original mp3 format and free to use at your disposal. About the Game Far away, in the Black-eye galaxy There was a solar system called Iris. Terra, the Fifth from the star inhabited many life forms. One of which was the Terran's. They advanced in technology, but are a peaceful people. One day the other inhabitants became enraged and stormed the Terran cities. All Cities were ransacked, and the people put in cages. All except one town. A man named Xavier fought off the enraged beasts with his sheer might. Now with the help of one of the locals he saved, Kim (An expert in weapon technology) he sets out to free his brothers in bondage. This is the story of X, the Archetype! DrCat (GOG.com) The game looks quite difficult, but also balanced at the same time. Action-packed gameplay is quite fun and addictive.

Price History Overview

USD uses SteamPulse's own locally recorded daily store snapshots, so this overview reflects the exact regional price history that SteamPulse has captured for this currency.

Coverage And Tracking Window

  • Snapshots: 1
  • Coverage: Oct 4, 2026 to Oct 4, 2026
  • Lowest observed: $1.99
  • Highest observed: $1.99

X Archetype's USD price history spans from Oct 4, 2026 to Oct 4, 2026, with 1 recorded snapshot across 1 calendar day. Each row records the available final price, listed base price, and discount metadata for that observation. Within this coverage the lowest recorded price is $1.99, the highest is $1.99, and the first visible tracked price is $1.99. These comparisons apply only to the snapshots SteamPulse holds; missing observations can contain changes that are not represented here.

For USD, SteamPulse uses locally captured regional storefront snapshots and does not reconstruct older prices with exchange-rate conversion. The chart and table show the values recorded for this exact currency from the stated coverage start. Additional snapshots extend that record, but they do not fill unobserved days or prove what the storefront displayed between observations.

Discount Windows And Sale Timing

  • Discount windows: 0
  • Discounted days: 0 days
  • Deepest markdown: No discount tracked
  • Latest sale window: No sale window tracked

X Archetype's tracked USD rows do not contain a discount window. This means no available snapshot in the stated coverage has usable discount metadata; it does not prove that the game was never discounted. Missing snapshots or archived rows without complete metadata can hide a sale, so SteamPulse does not infer pricing strategy from this absence.

If a later snapshot includes discount metadata, it will appear here with its recorded depth, price, date, and sale name when available. Until then, this section should be read only as a description of the available rows, not as evidence about the publisher's promotion policy.

Observed Price Changes And Stable Runs

  • Observed price drops: 0
  • Observed price rises: 0
  • Longest stable run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking
  • Current run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking

Outside rows carrying discount metadata, the tracked price has not recorded a separate price rise or drop yet. That means the observed undiscounted level has stayed stable across the snapshots SteamPulse currently holds. This is a statement about the recorded coverage only; it does not prove that an older or missing price change never happened.

The longest unchanged price stretch in the current record lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at $1.99, from Oct 4, 2026 through Oct 4, 2026. Among rows without discount metadata, the longest unchanged run lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at $1.99. The latest run records $1.99 for 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking as the same recorded undiscounted price. Run lengths describe consecutive stored observations only and do not establish that a price is permanent.

Latest Snapshot And Sales Context

  • Current price: $1.99
  • Current list price: $1.99
  • Distinct observed prices: 1
  • Source mode: SteamPulse local tracking

The latest tracked snapshot records X Archetype at $1.99 in USD, with no active discount metadata. Across the available history SteamPulse has recorded 1 distinct final price in this currency. This supports comparisons with the lowest, highest, and most common values present in the retained record, subject to the stated coverage limits.

The live sales view and Steam sales record provide calendar context for these dates. A date overlap can be compared with a named Steam event, but it does not prove why a publisher changed a price. As new daily rows arrive, this overview recalculates its observed prices, discount windows, and run lengths automatically.
