I've not been following the leaks super closely, but I did have a question with this picture - is that building with the four colored diamond (the building is damn near center of the picture) supposed to be a dojo? Don't the dojos typically have their "element colors" plastered like that above their doors?

So wouldn't that make this dojo something like wind, melee, electric, and mental? I come to that conclusion by starting at the top left (light blue-ish color) and going clockwise.

It's indeed a Dojo! And that emblem has more to do with the mechanics you'll use to traverse it than with its typing.

Hi again! A small update:
We've set our sights on Wednesday, December 15th to launch Arbury.

There's still a small window for changes, but if we were not able to launch on that day (for whatever reason) we'll inform you! We don't have a time right now, but we'll let you know about it soon as well.

See you really soon on Arbury!

Properton awaits!

We haven't touched the servers at all yet! Try relogging, or switching to a different network, and if none of those work please make a post in our forums (https://www.playtemtem.com/forums/forums/in-game-assistance.20/)

some will, some won't! Most repeatable content (like catching a 5/5 fish or dojo rematches) are not retroactive, but anything locked beyond un-repeatable content (like the main story) will be (retroactive).

Hi hi! I come with exciting news today, so let's get into it already:

The big Arbury patch passed certifications successfully! This means the likeliness of Arbury coming out in December is now 99%. The patch is fully translated and tested, but we've found some small stuff that we want to fix and/or improve on, so we want to have another internal patch before we hand it over to you. This is also why we can't give you a day yet, but we're aiming for next week, or the one after it if something were to go wrong. Stay tuned here, or on any of our socials, for the final announcement with the full date!

I am not part of the tech team, so I cannot speak on the viability of that or whether our systems could be compatible with it. My advice would be that you post about it in our forums, where people with the appropriate technical knowledge can look at it, sorry.

Out of curiosity, has a single player mode with local storage ever been considered (that would be blocked from online interaction)? Or a subscription service like pokemon home that acts as pure storage that would allow for the subscriptions to pay for storage servers?

The online element of Temtem is a core part of its nature for us, with its pros and cons, so an offline version is not on the table for us.
With this change, some users in the Discord server suggested we add the chance to increase storage via a paid subscription, but it's also something we had never considered before, so we'd need to think with it for a while. We can return to this topic in the future, once we're done with current features that require our attention right now.

Either you are storing information in a horrible inefficient way, or you are straight up lying. A couple kb of data is NOTHING for modern server storage.

I am not a technical expert nor directly involved in this process, so I cannot provide a lengthier explanation, but the people involved in this have no reason to lie. We have one single server and a lot of accounts.

At no point was I blaming Crema for this happening, its Discord. However the end effect really sucks.

I am however saying it's a straight up lie for Tsukki to say "Crema never encouraged alts".

Again, it was a joke. I'm also not the whole entity of Crema, as a human being I make jokes too. I did not cause the entire phenomenon of alts by making that joke.

This reply alone, posted in the Twitter/on a Reddit post/ pinned in disc, would go a lonnngg way in alleviating some of the player base’s concerns. Will it satisfy everyone, probably not, but I think it’d go a long way with the people that are still actually interested in the game and not just here to shitpost. You don’t have to say much, just that you’re listening.

The larger issue as I’m sure you’re aware of is there is a general thought (misconception, I hope) amongst players that Crema genuinely wants the game to be arbitrarily grindy to keep players logging in, dumping hours, and visible in the overworld. That is turning a lot of people off, and the rot is beginning to show itself in even the most dedicated player base. Something official at least acknowledging the issue and that it’s not what you intend the final product to look like would restore a lot of hope.

Most of our recurring/dedicated playerbase is in the Discord server and know this. I am glad it's given you hope, but really, I don't think this is enough for most people as we've already said this often.
The final project is still far, and we don't know how it'll look like. We don't want to give people the false hope that it's going to be exactly what they want, because we haven't even had time yet to sit and think about it.
What people think about Crema varies from person to person. We've said often that Temtem was created as a campaign game with online elements built in, which directly clashes with this idea that we're trying to get people to log in and dump hours. We also encourage breaks when people get burnt out, when they find the game is no longer entertaining. The only thing we're actually trying to get people to do is enjoy Temtem for as long as they can, and give us some time until we can show a finished, coherent and consistent product.

I cant run two steam accounts on the same machine at the same time. I am not risking valve ToS here. Realistically my only option is buying another machine and setting up a 2nd Steam account just for Temtem.

What are the odds this could be ported Discord-To-Switch /u/ItsTusski ? Or Ps5 for that matter?

The account migration will happen before we launch Switch and Xbox XSX ports, and as far as I know this is not usual cross-save, it's account migration, so it might not be a system that gets implemented for PS5. It's something we've had to pull out of thin air today, upon learning the news. As we progress on the system we'll be able to tell you more, this is just a really early info post.

I am sorry Tsukki but I find this very disingenuous. I am looking at a Discord message from you saying "Twice the accounts means twice the fun, twice the tateru". I bought my 1st account on steam, then clarified on the official Temtem Discord that a 2nd one wasn't against ToS. Please don't say this was something Creama staff tried to dissuade customers from doing.

A second steam key wont really help me. Is the only way I will be able to preserve my 2nd account really with a second steam account/second computer? I am struggling to see a way in which this wont functionally delete my 2nd.

I've answered to you on the Discord server as well, but a joke I made 8 months ago about something that was already being talked about doesn't equal an official push to get alts and play that way. I joke about people being mean and that doesn't mean I encourage it.
Discord wasn't "the place for alts" for us, it was just another platform and one we didn't think we'd end up losing. Playing on more than one platform is indeed not against ToS, or people who got the game on PS5 after having it on Steam would be in trouble. People play on two platforms for more reasons than having an alt.
If I had the gift of clairvoyance I would not have made that joke, but I don't, and this couldn't be prevented either. We're trying to minimize the losses caused by this.
Switching from one account to the other is always available with one computer, even with two Steam accounts. Your 2nd account will be there anytime, you're not losing anything you've played for.

This is going to have a major impact on players that have alt accounts. I know some people only had alt accounts for things like additional radars, but for myself and quite a few other players, we used alt accounts to compensate for things that weren’t being addressed in the game.

Some of the more notable ones being additional storage and the clan caps. Additional storage has been requested time and time again. There’s not enough space to store Tems. We need a place to keep finished Tems, breeding projects, SVs, lumas. We don’t have enough room and still have no way to get more. With clans, my clan is big enough that anyone else that wants to join us has to join a clan owned by my alt and ran by the alts of my mods.

Just saying “sorry, but alts weren’t technically supported” feels like a real kick in the shins to the players that loved the game so much that they were will to buy it twice. A simple fix would be to put the game on another launching system, such as Epi...

Hi! I already answered on the Discord server but I'm going to answer here now so the info is available on most places:
Storage size is a technical issue, not us not wanting to just grant it. There's a lot of data associated with each them, and limited size in our server (which also costs money). Also, you can still have two steam accounts and double the temdeck and club size.
We've never encouraged alts, and Discord was a platform for us like every other platform. There are other platforms now and there will be more in the future, so the thing with the clan size can still be the same. You could also delegate the new clubs on other friends of yours instead of on your alts, as I know other clubs do.

In short, this sucks for us too, and if we had known 2 years ago that this was the way it was going to go, we probably would've never stepped into Discord at all. Sorry for the inconveniences.
