Happy new year tamers!

2020 is shaping to be a very busy year for Temtem. We're very excited to share with you everything we have ready for the next coming months, but that news will have to wait a bit because today we need to talk about the Alpha and the upcoming Stress test.
The Alpha is reaching its end After 13 months of continued support and non-stop access to the Temtem Alpha, the time of farewell is coming really soon. As we work on moving forward with the public Early Access launch for Temtem we need to stop the Alpha access so we can work freely on improving the server and doing the final touches to get everything ready.

Alpha will close on Jan 9th @ 10am PST / 1pm EST / 7pm CET.

After this date, players won't be able to log in to the server.
Stress test dates and FAQ Just before launching publicly, we want to run a stress test to properly test everything out. The stress test will help us test the maximum capacity of our servers and will al... Read more

A new Archipelago Island opens its doors: Kisiwa.

Kisiwa is the hilly cousin of Tucma, its main feature being the impassable Kilima Range that divides the island into two distinct halves. Hotter and dried than any of the other islands, Kisiwa features an unrivalled variety of landscapes. The eastern side has Vumbi and its famous dojo, as well as the wild Kusini Highlands beyond the Jino Gap, inhabited by a variety of  Neutral Temtem. The only viable ways to cross the island are the tunnels excavated by the tireless Kisiwans – Chini in the wild southern solitudes and Juu in the north, near Lake Moyo and the capital city of Uhuru. The western deserts are deceptive in appearance, for they are home to many species of Earth Temtem.

What's new As usual, we won't go deep here in terms of spoiling the new area, the new quests you'll find there or the new Temtem. Instead, we will talk a bit about the new features present in this patch, starting wit... Read more

First of all, check out our new shiny gameplay trailer!



As you have already guessed by the title of this update and the video, Temtem will be releasing on Early Access on January 21st!

The Early Access version will only be available on PC (Steam and Discord). Among lots of other stuff, the Early Access will feature ~50% of the story content, three different islands (each with its own unique biomes), co-op, player customization, breeding, luma hunting, competitive ruleset with pick&ban for battles... And no more wipes (hopefully)!

Did I read... co-op?
Yes! You did! You will be able to play co-operatively the whole campaign.

Stress tests

Today we bring you a special update talking about one of our Breeder backers and their Temtem. But first, we haven't posted the definitive names for #035 and #036 so let's fix that.

Give a warm welcome to the community-named Temtem family to Orphyll and Nidrasil!
The first Breeder Temtem Back when we were creating the Temtem Kickstarter campaign, we decided we wanted to give the opportunity to create new Temtem to some of our backers and we tied that opportunity to the most expensive reward. We ended up filling all the spots available and that means we will have five Temtem families designed by our community!

The first breeder we want to talk about is Soma Ghost.
Creating Soma's... Read more

First of all, sorry for the lack of news during this past month, most of the Crema team has been enjoying some vacations, so work has slowed a bit during this time.

We're now back and filled with energy. While we keep working on Kisiwa's plains and mountains we want to keep moving forward with our pending naming contests and today we will start with the Choose-a-Temtem #3 runner-up:

#129 is a Toxic/Mental Temtem and is a single form Temtem (doesn't evolve to or from any other Temtem).

This time, we're making the contest a bit different. Up until now, we requested the community to propose new names for the Temtem and when we had enough we (Crema) internally selected our 10 favorite names and then make a public poll with t... Read more

Whenever we're developing a new Alpha version, there's always some stuff that needs to be cut from the final build because we don't have enough time to implement it properly. It happened back with Alpha 0.1 (which was missing the Aguamarina Caves and the houses interiors) and it has happened too with Alpha 0.2 which we released a few weeks ago. 

Instead of leaving that content to the next Alpha version, we usually like to release a big update in between bigger releases so players don't have to wait for that much for those features.

So, today, we're bringing you this update for the Alpha 0.2, including a bunch of new features and improvements!

Breeding
The first new feature and the most important one: Breeding!



We're not going to talk much about it this time, because we already dedicated a Kickstarter update to it. If you haven't read it yet, make sure to ... Read more

Making a game is an incredibly hard and huge task. There are so many things involved in the process and a team our size can hardly manage to achieve every single of them correctly.

We love developing games, we love to think about and implement new mechanics, we love listening to the community and shaping the game how you want. But there’s so much more involved in the process that is not really developing the game: marketing, contacting distributors, merchandising, reaching out to streamers and sites, talking to platform holders…

That’s why we’ve decided to partner with Humble to publish Temtem.



Partnering with Humble allows us to focus on Temtem’s development while they handle all the other task in which they excel: bring the game to even more platforms, secure more merchandising opportunities or even get physical editions of the game, while also reaching a bigger audience which will benefit the gam...

Back on our campaign, we talked a bit about Temtem breeding. Since then, there's been a lot of doubts around this topic (especially with the genetic degradation we talked about) so we want to talk in-depth about it in this update.

Have in mind that everything specified here can be changed at any time. As with every feature, we introduce we'll be looking at player feedback to improve it.

Our main goal with Breeding in Temtem is to make the process more streamlined and more obvious for the players giving you the full information about what's going to happen and what are the possibilities. Also, we're trying to keep it challenging enough to avoid getting the market filled with infinite perfectly breed Temtem.

What is breeding
Breeding is the process used to create new Temtem from Eggs.

If two Temtem are compatible, putting them together in the Breeding Center will create a new Egg. Eggs will eventually hatch into... Read more
