Hello Tamers!

It’s been a long time since our latest update, and we wanted to take advantage of this special day to catch up with the current status of development. Of course, we also know you’re eager to catch a peek at Kisiwa. So, it’s undoubtedly time to share some info on all that’s been happening inside Crema’s doors.

Happy birthday to us

2 years ago today, bright-eyed, a bit scared and hopeful we launched the Temtem Kickstarter campaign. The amount of love and support it got blew our minds, and we’re still, and will always be, grateful to all our backers. From being halfway funded in one day, and becoming the most crowdfunded Spanish videogame, to all of you smashing our stretch goals. Presenting you guys the world of Temtem, its music, lore, and, of course, the tems, has been a really enjoyable journey.

From that day till now we’ve partnered with Humble, launched the private alphas, stress-tested the server, created the animated trailer, and, of course, launched Temtem in Earl...

Hello tamers,

Even in these challenging times, the team has been working hard (although now working from home) and today we bring you a new Temtem update.

This is the first content update we’re releasing after publishing our content roadmap a few weeks ago and it includes most of the features promised for this Spring. We will be pushing the rest of the features (including the chat rework and the club management system) to another content update that will still (hopefully) arrive during this Spring.

What’s new?

The highlight on this patch is, of course, the Ranked Matchmaking. Up until now, players have been forced to organize ladders themselves outside of the game and turn to external tools in order to keep their progress. Not anymore!

We’ve designed a new rating system called TMR (Tamer Matchmaking Rating) which will rate player’s performance and grant you points for winning matches. Players are matched against each other automatically, based on their current TMR. In order to help ne...

• Added Ranked matchmaking. Players will be matched together via their TMR (Tamer Matchmaking Rating) into competitive battles.
  • This is the first iteration of the Ranked battles so it only has the core features for now.
  • Every Temtem is auto-scaled on ranked battles. This means that their level is upped to the current level cap (48) and all their SVs are maxed (50). TVs remain intact.
  • While ranked battles will give pansun rewards, they are currently disabled until the system is fully tested.
• Added the Spectator mode. Players can now spectate others from the Interact menu as long as they’re playing a competitive battle.
  • As with the Ranked matchmaking, this is the first iteration of this feature so it will be improved and worked on in the future.
• Added a new Status condition: Evading. While evading, the Temtem will avoid the next offensive technique directed at it.
• Added a new Status condition: Alerted. While alerted, the Temtem can’t be asleep and after waking up from being aslee...

Hello Tamers,

It’s already been over a month since Temtem’s release. During this month we’ve seen a constantly growing amount of questions around the game, its future, and its planned features. So, we want to take some time to share with you what we have in mind for the game so you can have a peek at what’s coming.

Please, keep in mind that every detail discussed here is not 100% confirmed for the game. During the game’s development cycle, ideas change constantly and stuff we like today we might not like as much tomorrow. So take everything in here not as confirmed facts, but more like the stuff we would like to include in the game.

The same thing happens with the planned dates. We’re not really big fans of having public dates for everything, they add a lot of unnecessary pressure on the team and they make making changes and swapping features around a very difficult task. We know everyone else likes dates though, so we’ve decided to include open dates for each block of features. ...

• Fixed an invisible wall in Quetzal not allowing players to progress.
• Fixed players not being able to find any untamed encounters.
• Fixed Avenger trait not being triggered by the Sacrifice trait.

• Added a countdown to the trade screen. After both players hit ready, there will be a 5-second countdown where players can review everything and cancel the trade if they’re not sure about something.
• Exiting the trade screen will now instantly cancel the ready button before confirming the exit with the player.
• Increased server room sizes to hold more players at the same time.
• Improved Barnshe textures.

• Fixed several problems regarding the synchronization of the ready button during trades.
• Improved and secured some cinematic initialization cases to prevent further bugs.

• The Saipark opens its doors.
  • The Saipark is a new end-game area and the first natural reserve in the whole Archipelago.
  • Each week, the Saipark will hold two different species of Temtem. These species will present special features like having more chances of being Luma, presenting egg moves or even having guaranteed minimum SVs.
  • Regular Temcards won’t work inside the premises of the Saipark. Instead, players will need to buy a special Temcard type called Saicards. Saicards only work inside the premises of the Saipark and they will expire at the end of the week.
  • In order to be able to get Saicards, players will need to pay an initial fee to enter the park and get a pack of Saicards. Players will also be able to buy more Saicards during the week, but the fee will be more and more expensive each time.
  • Currently, the configuration for the week is not displayed inside the game. While we work on a screen that will showcase that info, we will be posting the info on our social networks.
• Pl...

This will only affect players whose savegame is being lowered by creating the co-op party.
