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.

Omninesia is almost ready to host new visitors. In just a week our backers will be walking along Nanga, buying goods and preparing their travel through the Canopath, discovering new Temtem species and, even more importantly, making new friends along the way.

Alpha 0.2 will launch next Thursday, June 13th.



This new content update for our on-going Alpha is huge: a whole new Island, new set of Temtem, new battle mechanics (Gears & Traits), several unannounced new features, lots of quality of life improvements and a million bug fixes.

We've poured our souls making it and we're very eager to see your reactions and opinions about it.

This update is written by Damian Sanchez, our composer.

Today, we’re talking about Temtem’s music!

This is not going to be an update talking about divine inspirations, musical notes, scales or chords. Instead, we will focus on the process of making music as part of a really busy development schedule.

I hope this text will bring some light on what’s the production process behind any of the music tracks.

Don’t start a long trip without proper baggage preparation.
So far Temtem has around 55 minutes of in-game music. And that is not counting alternate melodies (we’ll come back to that later) and night versions, which could easily add double the length. And remember we are still in Omninesia (which is the second island of the six planned). The final soundtrack, considering only main tracks, will probably end up having over 2 hours of music, so I had to create a fluid workflow and prepare the tools to meet the deadlines without compromising q...

“It sure looks like rain,” said Professor Víctor of Briçal as he looked out of the window. The gloomy Arburian skies were steadily turning a darker shade.

“Well, I suppose we have time for a story, then. Let me put the kettle on…”

The old armchair creaked when he dropped on it again. He took off his glasses.

“So, Digital Temtem, it is? I’m not surprised you’d ask about them. They are the newest, shiniest variety after all. And all that tech we have running on the same principles, like commcasters… or TVs, like you youngsters call them. But I suppose you want to hear about the Digitals themselves, right.”

“I was there, you know. When they were first developed. I was a young research assistant, fresh out of Properton College. I jumped on an airship as soon as I got the message, and rushed to Cipanku just... Read more

We love giving our community the chance to name new Temtem, and you already helped us name a few:

• Nessla, Ampling and Amphatyr
  
• Umishi and Ukama
  
• Kalazu and Kalabyss

And today, we bring you a new contest!



#037 evolves into #038. Both #037 and #038 are common inhabitants of the areas around the Anak Volcano in Omninesia. Also both are pure-fire type.

As usual, we're running the contest in our Discord server[discord.gg]. We will be accepting new name suggestions up until Monday, then we will chose our favorites and we'll let the community vote on the final... Read more

Work never stops at Crema, so one more week we're here with a new patch for the Alpha!

Aguamarina Caves
The Aguamarina Caves are a complex of caverns that run deep under the Thalassian Cliffs. The better-known entrance is through the Sillaro River, but they're so huge they even cross the whole cliffs and connect the river to the upper area of the Indigo lake.



The Caves have five different floors and they include a new gameplay feature: the crystal areas. We don't want to spoil too much, so you'll need to go ahead and discover it by yourself. The crystal areas affect how the player moves through the terrain and they will be very present along the whole Archipelago.



Right now the Caves are a totally optional area to explore and they don't have too much in terms of interesting new Temtem or items. In t... Read more

New year, new update!

After launching 8 updates in less than a month after Alpha's release, we've decided to decrease a bit the rhythm and spend some more focused time with the next big patches. Over this past month we've been working simultaneously on three different big patches:

• An update focused on improving the battle flow.
  
• An update including the content missing right now from Deniz (houses interiors and the Aguamarina Caves).
  
• Alpha 0.2: including a full new island (Omninesia) and a set of new Temtem.

Today we're bringing you the first one.

Improved battle flow
As we talked about in our previous update, one of the most frequent requests from the Alpha feedback was to improve how battles feel. We didn't have a lot of time to review battle times before releasing the Alpha so the feedback was totally right, battles felt super sluggis... Read more

Although it seems we launched our Alpha yesterday, today marks the first month of it being available.

Whew! We want to take a look back at this month in this update, see what happened during this time, share some fun data and talk about what’s coming next.

So, how was the launch?
The launch was amazing! We managed to deliver the Alpha on time without any delays (although we were very very close) and achieving that has been a huge achievement for our team.

One of the things we were more interested in looking at during the Alpha was how the server performed and how our infrastructure for multiplayer, instances, sharding… was working. So far it’s been great, we haven’t had any major problems with the server and it has been holding up the current player base effortlessly.



Also, we... Read more
