Temtem Dev Tracker

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.

Hi Tamers! This one's for the Discord players of Temtem. If you're a PS5 or Steam user, this does not affect you at all and you can keep enjoying your Temtem adventure.

We recently got news from Discord that they've made the decision to deprecate the Store channel functionality and the ability to sell SKUs through Discord. The change will take place in March 1st, 2022. This means that you will not be able to purchase Temtem through Discord past that date, and that the Store channel will be deactivated.

While Discord was a great chance to distribute Temtem in its earliest stages, and we've enjoyed a very long run with it, this decision raises concern, as we cannot be sure how long support for the games will be provided, and could potentially complicate t...

haha I actually liked your answer a lot from someone who's named AngrySaiyan.
I've covered some of this in other comments and I don't wanna be a broken record, so I'll skip to the concrete ideas you mention at the bottom.
When we share stuff on Twitter or Facebook there's always the implied info that this is something the team has achieved or finished and that we're showing progress on the new island. If you think we should explicitly include that, do say so. In the last few months we've shared VFX, tems, music and clothing, which usually serve as a pointer of which parts of the update are already complete. But if we need to be clearer about it, I can try.
Q&As are spiky because people always want the design team, and the design team cannot stop to breathe right now, and even if they could, most of the questions would be answered with "we still haven't properly delimited that/we can't currently talk about that". We've held Q&As in the past and I'd love to have more, ...

You bring up a good point that gamers don't exactly think about devs' lives when they play, but we do have lives nonetheless haha And by no means should you ever force yourself to play a game you don't enjoy. Temtem gets so many changes and updates, and has so much room for development, that we actually recommend taking breaks and coming back when we've had time to fix some of the current issues it might present.
As I think I mentioned in either my reply to you or someone else's, we do answer concerns when they reach us and if we can. But I think that when these threads come up, the reactions to concerns being addressed are portrayed in a very euphemistic and utopian way. Sometimes you guys ask us about current problems that have solutions in the future, but it's stuff that isn't even designed or planned yet, and when we say "yeah, we're thinking about that", that does never, in my experience, cover the "need to be heard", even when it should. take 5% radars, for example. We s...

As I said, that's a long answer that I thought maybe you guys would not want to read, not that I didn't care to explain. But first I wanna point out that we do show tiny sneak peeks of a lot of stuff, from new tems and VFX to patch notes to island music and concept art, so I don't think it's fair to say we don't do tiny sneak peeks at all. If you're on here, Twitter, the discord server or even Facebook or Instagram, you should've seen us post and spoil stuff, which I'd consider communication, so you're either going to have to detail to me what you consider communication or specify on which places you're missing these sneak-peeks or spoilers. I don't think all communication platforms serve the same purpose or have the same unspoken rules, and I don't believe a piece of music is fitting for a Steam update, but that doesn't make it less of a sneak-peek, and we place them out there on various different places so they'll reach everyone somehow.
The way our studio works makes dev-bl...

They are being taken seriously, and it's really hard to echo everything that gets talked about in the Discord server where we usually chat with players, but it's been addressed by the game director and will see changes with or after 1.0.
The problem with explaining what we're thinking of is that nothing is set in stone yet, really, and it needs a solid foundation to work. Sharing such an early stage of an idea leads to a massive amount of noise that we cannot handle at the moment. As soon as we're in that stage of development we'll talk about it more, but it's def on our radar, and it's being handled internally!

Hey, I'm the CM and I had a long-ass message written explaining the why's of our communication style and our reasons for some things you mention, but I'm not sure you want dev input, or if this is just a thought you wanted to share with others. Just lmk if you want that wall of text lol for now I offer this one:
I think sometimes our players forget that, while this is a game for them, this is our literal way of survival, and the source of my cat's food and well-being (priority). We're the ones who want to see it succeed the most, and we're doing the best we can. But success looks different to different people, and different studios work in different ways. We could use some improvements in some areas? Sure as heck. We're at the end of the day people, none of us is perfect. I'd love to do dev-logs, but we can't. I'd love to have more to share about the far-end future, but until we're closer to it, we can't. If you throw more feedback my way I'll consider it, like I always do, an...

It should, yes. But we haven't really tested Temtem on Linux although users report that it works OK: https://www.protondb.com/app/745920

Unfortunately, we haven't received a Steam Deck devkit yet, but we will do everything we can to fully support it and it should mostly work as it is right now.

Genshin Impact just did it in less than a year after first release.

Temtem hasn't been released yet, so even considering your stupid argument we would still have one year + whatever time we need to release the 1.0 to implement cross-save.

Also, miHoYo has 2400 employees, we, unfortunately, don't.
