After lots of hard work during these past months, the first huge content update for the Alpha is finally here.



A new Archipelago Island open its doors: Omninesia.

Omninesian legends tell of a great volcanic eruption that shook the great Paninsula of old, breaking the mammoth island into smaller chunks and flinging them away. While Tucma and Kisiwa were the bigger ones, a scattering of smaller fragments drifted together. Their settlers called them the Myrisles, and during the foundation years, they connected them with ingeniously built bridges, creating a whole new culture. The Omninesians, as they call themselves nowadays, are a reflection of that original spirit, endlessly resourceful and interested in communication and trade, always ready to make the most of their tiny but lush islands.

What's new?
We don't want to spoil much of what Omninesia and its areas has to offer. But, besides a whole new area and more progress in the main quest, this patch is also filled with new features and improvements over our Alpha.



For starters, the fully fledged character customization experience is complete. On Alpha 0.1 we launched the character creation and now players will also be able to customize its appearance at any time.

The Boutiques from both Deniz and Omninesia are open now, selling all kind of cosmetics and dyes. Every piece of cosmetic is tintable so the customization options are almost endless.

We will be expanding this feature with more cosmetics and dyes along with the development of the game.



Another big thing in this patch is the addition of Traits & Gears, two new mechanics that will fundamentally change how battles work in Temtem.

Traits are innate abilities determined by the Temtem species. Traits can be triggered at any time during battles and can affect used techniques, received damage, Temtem stats...

Similar to traits, gear are abilities triggered during the battle. Instead of being determined by the Temtem species, Gear are items that can be equipped to any Temtem.



Trading is also now part of the game. We've spent a lot of time thinking and doing this feature so we're very eager to see its reception.

Trading will allow players to trade anything, anywhere, anytime and with anyone near you. There are no limits on what you can trade!



There's also a new feature that was already showcased in our Kickstarter original trailer: dialogs with main characters will now portray them bigger on screen and they will also have custom expressions based on what they're talking about.

This adds a lot of richness to the characters and make them more iconic and unique. We hope you like it!

More stuff
But that's not all! The patch is PACKED with features and improvements: 22 new Temtem, 34 new techniques, new Lumas, re-learn old techniques anytime, inspect players, minimap...
