Did I see a paid battle pass in addition to already being a fully priced game?
I actually think Temtem would benefit a lot from going F2P with a microtransaction/BP model since the game appeals most to a younger audience. But having them on top of a paid game seems questionable.
They're entirely cosmetics to cover server costs and healthy sustain of the game in the long run. We actually announced it years ago and have always tried to be as transparent as possible about it.
I know this is a bit late but I noticed Nobody uploaded it to the reddit yet and I wanted to make sure people on reddit saw it too :)
thank you very much Zose!!! <3
As a long time supporter of the game who's been waiting for the launch to play again since the alpha reset. I do think it's a bit disillusioning that you'll monetise the game with a battlepass but won't service the game with content post-launch.
There is content post-launch, like the Nuzlocke mode, the arcade bar or the 3rd mythical. And the passes have new quests and items, which are content too. Endless islands and tems are not a sustainable cycle for us.
that isn't really post-launch content tho is it. As it was promised as a stretch goal of the kickstarter. It's okay to say it's not sustainable, but you are admitting that you do not wish to develop past what was initially planned which is absurd for an mmo and essentially puts an expiry date on the game the moment it's released.
I'd argue it's content coming after launch, even if it was a stretch goal. The amount of unplanned, unexpected content we've included in the game during these past years should make up for it. We have also explained what our take on the MMO format is, and what to expect and not to expect.
