Why make a hard copy version of a mmo in mmo worlds when the game shuts down there is nothing left so just a memory

Do you have plans to further expand the game's content post launch or are you moving to another project?

Do we know whats missing still, for this 1.0 release? What are the main things still being added here?

Is it worth waiting for the release or just start now?

Is the last mythical part of the 1.0 launch?

Originally posted by TheBadHalfOfAFandom

Never thought I’d see the 1.0 show up, but I’m so excited! Let’s hope the servers don’t blow up on day 1 like they did when the game was first available to play haha

Can we upgrade to deluxe edition on ps5?

Originally posted by Diknak

Will this support the Windows 10/11 store edition that syncs with Xbox (Xbox play anywhere) or will it only be available on Steam for PC?

No new maps or tem tems, which are a majority of the content, makes me believe the game is being put on life support tbh. MMORPGs do not survive with this system of development, content must be added post-launch, actual engaging content. Not small events, like seasonal/holliday micro content.

Is that the kind of content we should expect? Also why no new Tems or Maps? Is it because of the trickling player count?

Originally posted by KurtGG

Understandable, MMORPGs also need a healthy content-type to add that keeps players busy enough till the next content drop. When might we find out what kind of content this will take shape as?

The Archipelago was always planned as 6 islands

However, scope can always increase. It always does with most games.

The cycle of making a new island and implementing new tems was around ~9 months, and players would eat it up in ~4 hours. It was unsustainable,

With that mentality why even make the game in the first place? It will always take longer to make than people take to go through it, but that doesn't mean it isn't worth making.

and we believe good, new MMO-ish features will actually breathe more life into the game

Given that the MMO parts of Temtem are its objectively worst features, I really can't say I agree with your assessment there.

Originally posted by Lugia61617

You're completely correct despite Tsukki's protestations. You can't have a monster taming game and then declare you've next to no intentions to add more when they are the most important factor in a monster taming game.

Love the Collector's Edition, but the shipping to Canada is wild. Still stoked for the official release though.

Every other monster-catching game gets a new sequel every year/other year...or in the case of more recent ones, expansions. They're not MMOs and have expectedly finite lifespans. MMOs are expected to be live services rather than games you constantly replace, and as such must keep expanding to bring in new content in order to maintain an audience.

If Temtem were a single-player game with online functionality, this would not be an issue. It'd be a cute, probably one-off attempt at the genre depending on its sales and online audience like Nexomon. But because you (collectively, not you individually) made it an MMO you cannot shake the basic expectations or requirements foisted upon you. Player retention is already bad and while you might get some more players during the 1.0 launch, if the current state of early access is any indication they aren't going to stick around for long.

And that retention thing is, again, an MMO-exclusive problem. Single-player games only rely on the upfront sales. But MMOs need people to come in and stick around, buy microtransaction things, buy expansion packs, what have you. You need the audience to constantly buy in. Which means audience retention is vital. Granted, Temtem cheats this by having an upfront cost (an absurdly high upfront cost for what it is IMO) but that only kicks the can down the road.

"The core idea behind Temtem is to build a classic adventure game with a focus on the story campaign, but with online elements added around it (seeing other people online, interacting with them to battle, trade, or just to talk and share experiences)."

But instead you made an MMO complete with many of the trappings (excessive grind, etc). To me that looks like mission failed right at the start. (EDIT: I mean, if you wanted to focus on the story campaign that's already a huge red flag for MMO as a medium, because while many MMOs have stories, they are ultimately secondary to the gameplay loop because again MMOs require constant attention & retention. If story is your focus it'd be a single-player game with online functionality a la Gen V-VIII PMMN.)

Also

and Shin Megami Tensei definitely doesn't add many monsters on their new sequels

Even if I overlooked how absurdly large the megaten roster actually has been from the start, that's just not true. They really have. They do also remove some between games or completely redesign others but your general point there is just false. Also didn't Coromon only just come out this year? Bad choice of example there, too.

Congrats on making it to 1.0!!! Despite a lot of critiques, I really adore this game and look forward to what's the the future. While I would love new islands (because I'm very invested in the world's lore!) and Tems, I understand there are limitations, especially for an indie team!

But if you guys ever do get the chance to make like a big expansion or a sequel, I'll be right there to help back and support it! Keep being awesome, can't wait for the full launch!

Ok a few things.

1st, congratulations. Its been a long time and its good to finally be here. I'm glad this game was made, and though i have mixed feelings about the game its had its moments.

2nd. The endgame island looks dope

Now the negative stuff.

Why Sept 6? I know no one is gonna agree with me here but i feel like Temtem got some popularity from how bad SWSH was. Wouldn't it have made more sense to capitalize on that crowd again and realize after Scarlet and Violet?

Also I'm' curious if there are going to be any patches before 1.0, and are there any plans to change current mechanics in terms of rewards and time investment. I've heard there is some talk about addressing the grind, can you offer any specifics beyond "We're looking into it"?

Anything planned for Kickstarter backers? I was a Switch backer, had to change to PS5 with delay after delay. Several of my backer items still haven't been delivered, including my reserved name. I've been on a thread with support for over a year...

Congrats on getting to version 1.0!!! I don’t usually post but wanted to thank you and your team for all the hard work you’ve been doing in your studio. I started my temtem journey back in cipanku (actually went out and got a ps5 specifically to play this game) and man everything I was expecting got blown out of the water. Temtem quickly became my comfort game, the world design is phenomenal, great art style. And the community that I’ve met inside the game has been the best I’ve experienced in general, all of the top players are so humble and helpful and the folks I’ve met in my club I’ve become quite attached too.

Some constructive critiques I’ve had personally playing the game

1.) I do feel as though it can be quite a grind to get into a pvp ready state, getting 6 tems to level 100 and tv trained felt like a massive undertaking as a new player who was quite dry on pansun. (I know this is subject to change and honestly I think the addition of smoothies helped tremendously) now the grind doesn’t bother me but it was my impression as a new player nonetheless. Perhaps giving a bit more pansun to players at the end of the story will help them get access to endgame content sooner? (Also I know y’all are working on this already so I’m not super worried about this one)

2.) No spoilers but I feel like there needs to be just a tad more context plopped in earlier in the story to make the ending plot points feel more earned.

3.) better ingame system for players to trade stickers with each other, atm everyone is relying a bit of excel sheets on discord haha

That’s all I have :)

Again, amazing work so far crema you’ve made the game I wanted to play since I was a kid and I’m quite greatful for that!

Fun fact even if Pokemon game = bad, sales are always way better than they should be. Trying to compete against a household name is a bad move even if said game gets bad press, it will sell. So, if your indie title is trying to compete against that? Good luck trying to pull a crowd away from something they know and love even if it might not be as good

Originally posted by flamec4

Ok but the game would eventually have to shutdown so wouldnt it be cool if people would be able to play it offline?

Originally posted by RogueRage95

Can’t wait! Will there be a version of the collectors bundle including the game?

Originally posted by Subzer0domain

Will the collectors edition still be available for purchase after 1.0 launch?

Originally posted by zaangie

Can we play offline or single player through the story or is it always online with other people?

Originally posted by Romanouchet

Hi, do you have any future plan for selling the collectors in Europe ?

Because paying the price almost twice (180 dollars, 170 euros) is way too much overpriced to me with the shipping

Originally posted by htraos

I know it's subject to change, but what do we have planned for 1.0 so far?

Originally posted by necrodancer69

Very nice! I am looking forward to it!

Does anyone of you, or maybe the developers corespondents in this thread, know if us the Steam Beta Players gonna get a discount on the Xbox version or are we have to buy the game again? I assume that our account will work also on the Xbox Version. Right?

Thanks in advance ;)

Can there really be a physical copy for the Xbox Series S?

Originally posted by DisgruntledLabWorker

Sorry, I just meant because the S doesn’t have a disc drive and can’t play physical games. So anyone who sees this and doesn’t realize their S can’t play a physical game and buys it might get a tad upset

Originally posted by statesminds

I have 2 questions. Is the entire game online only? And is there cross-platform co-op?

Originally posted by Individual-Title8214

I have a question, are there limited copies of the physical release. Or are you going to continue supplying physical copies to vendor in the foreseeable future.
