Temtem Dev Tracker

I don't blame the players who take the MMO tag by heart, because I understand it's an easy tag to see and fix upon. I just wish we could make the actual insight behind it as well-known as the MMO tag is haha
I think your viewpoint is great and I hope you can continue enjoying the bits you enjoy!

I'm the biggest fan of community engagement, and I always advocate for it when the time's right, but I also know you cannot design a game if you have the input of hundreds of people, each of whom want different and specific things, every day. Not everyone is a game designer, despite what the general attitude regarding videogames is. What people think "the majority of the community" is doesn't always match the insight we have, and we're not ones to make false promises, so I won't promise you we will align on every single detail, or that we'll share your vision for every feature. We address the stuff that's massive, we do, but I can't risk using absolutes in formal communication, it could cost me dearly in the future.

I totally understand that this is the time to provide feedback, and I have no issue with it. I only mentioned development because it truly is what occupies us all the time haha

Newer players are usually the more tame bunch, actually, because the grin...

haha no worries, we're fulfilling all our plans for Temtem, whatever it costs

I wanted to clarify that we're not avoiding mentioning these issues because someone up there is being hard-headed. It's because we're working on internally addressing them, and seeing how to solve the ones we feel need fixing. We have our hands full with development, and we have a lot of plans in place we can't still talk about, and we're often seen as deflecting or avoidant when answering due to this. Not everyone in the dev team interacts with the community, too, and not all of us who interact with the community can answer many of the questions posed about the future (yet).

First of all, thanks for the faith put in us and for trying to walk in our shoes, too. I super appreciate the kindness in times of a lot of stress, like post-patch.

Second, while you're right that the MMO tag resonates a lot with people and is echoed often, the MMO nature of Temtem has always been described as different to the general mmorpg, and is super close, actually, to what you describe. This is taken from the Kickstarter's FAQWhen you think about an MMO or MMORPG you probably think of enormous games like World of Warcraft or TERA, in which you have an endless array of ...

This is indeed our first MMO, and we're learning still. Which is why we launched in Early Access, and why we read all these posts and gather the feedback we can extract from them. You're welcome to hone in on the specifics and express what you'd like to see or what would be fun for you, specially in regards to the current systems, and we'll do our best to make as much of the playerbase as we can happy.
As for the future, there's a lot of changes planned that specifically address some of the most common issues people point out. I totally respect not playing a game if the recent update hasn't satisfied you, and I hope we'll see you back for 1.0.

When was the last time you checked? We published a hotfix for this this very morning, so maybe it'd have been fixed by now?

All stickers are supposed to have the same chance to spawn. We're investigating the possibility that this is not the case. There's going to be improvements made to Stickers being hard to keep track of.
As for balance, it's not a priority right now and the changes being made cover little by little, and respond to more planned changes along the way. We are in touch with the comp community, this isn't the final outcome of the meta or the final balance plans.
There's a lot of changes planned for 1.0 that address a lot of the current complaints of the game, and we will communicate them when we get to that stage. We're not hiding. Not everyone on the dev team is part of the design team and can communicate these changes, and not everyone on the dev team is equipped to respond to all the feedback we get. We're currently reading everything that's being posted, and processing it internally. We're also dealing with the post-patch bugs and the features that aren't working as intended...

hi! Can you tell me a bit more? DM me if necessary.

nope, there was a purchase there, even if it was a gift. Temtem Plus must only be bought by accounts that obtain the game through game-sharing

https://crema.gg/temtem/content-roadmap/

There's still some features we will release in 1.0! There are no huge patches planned from now until then, so technically this is the last content patch until 1.0 if everything goes well!

Temtem+ isn't exactly for alts, but for game-sharing secondary accounts. Unless you consider your game-shared account an alt, in which case yeah, you can now trade between your alt accounts (assuming the other account is a main acc or has temtem+ too)

As for the future plans, I cannot yet say, as I don't know.
As for PS5 items, and I'm assuming you mean the pre-order and PS5 exclusive items, those are untradeable, and all untradeable items automatically get transferred to the main account in the process. Items left in the Vault get transferred, too.

It's only for a short while, until you defeat the Dojo! It was made so people wouldn't be trapped in Arbury and unable to return, because you first enter it through an event.

Yes, once you link it's all gone because you must reset before linking, but items in the Vault stay when linking. What we recommend doing is transferring/trading all the tems and placing everything else in the vault. It's, unfortunately, impossible to grant OT for the lumas, sorry about that bit.
Cross-progression is generally more focused on linking a new, freshly purchased account, and these hurdles are hard to avoid.

even better then!

The battle happens at around 450 slots, I think

The term is used twice in the post in different contexts. On one hand, you can link and sync your steam account to any other platform(s) you want to. This is a secondary account for cross-progression.
For Temtem Plus, a primary account is one that has purchased or purchases the game. Steam and Discord don't allow secondary accounts through family sharing, while consoles do.
Lemme know if that helps and I'll try to clarify in the post.
