[2023] Trying to get back into the game, experiencing heavy frustration.

So this is very annoying.

I played TemTem ages ago, like, first public version of the game. I put a ton of time into it, and then decided I was going to wait for 1.0 to continue playing the game. I only have 3 islands unlocked and have done NONE of the new content or updates since the first version. I tried to get back into it today to find that my 10th tem box was locked... And apparently they did something where you have to do a quest to unlock boxes as you progress through the story. I had tem in my 10th box because it was easily accessible from the first page while I was doing some breeding stuff.

So unless I unlock every location... I will never get my old tem back. Yes, the game is playable right now because LUCKILY I have a party of leveled tems, but this is kinda absurd. Is there a way to contact the devs and get them to manually move my tem? I don't give a crap about not having 10 boxes of storage, I just want access to the ones I've already bred up and caught!

To be honest, this is REALLY putting me off returning and checking out the game again. I wanted to start over, but ALSO there's no profile system! So I would have to erase all that breeding progress if I wanted to re-familiarize myself with the game!

I really didn't expect this kind of experience in a game that's hit 1.0. Very disappointed and sad, as I loved this game and would like to start playing again.
