Welcome, Tamers, to the first-ever in-depth Meet the Team, where you get to know more about the devs working on Temtem and Temtem: Swarm! We plan to hold these little segments from time to time, so everyone can become more familiar with the Crema devs, and get to see the people they are behind the game.

On this occasion we sit with the VFX team, which consists of Kees Klop, Alberto Abanses, and Mario Belén, to chat about their day to day, their favorite work of theirs, their road in Crema, and some quirky questions so we can get a deeper look into who they are. Let’s begin!

Kees Klop

• Tell us a bit about yourself and your background! How long have you been at Crema? Have you worked in a similar role before?

• We’ve added the character name and TamerID to the section in Settings where you could check your Support ID.

Hello, Tamers! We’re here to share with you an open letter to the community, and to reach out to you.

We’ve been listening to you for a long time, and we are aware of your concerns and worries. Over the past few weeks we’ve seen an uptick in the community expression of unhappiness and doubt following the lead-up to, and the announcement of Temtem: Swarm. We’ve been listening to and taking in that feedback, processing it internally, and we think it’s time we have an open chat with you addressing all of it.

With this open letter we want to try and answer the most recent, pressing questions, to shed some light on the future of both Temtem and our studio, and to offer a bit more insight into our development decisions, learnings, and the upcoming path.

This will be a long post, as we wanted to be thorough in answering your questions and provide context for our decisions. We also recognize we’ve made mistakes in the past an...

Welcome Tamers to the awaited Season renewal and patch launch day! The slight chill in the air has now turned into a full-blown blizzard, and we remember the old glacial times: welcome to Frozen Tales and Patch 1.6!

A new icy season

Baby, it’s cold out there! Frozen Tales will take you back in time to a long lost era when primeval humans and Temtem roamed a bare Archipelago. Prepare to connect with ancestral deities and to walk in old footsteps! As always, this new Season comes with a new Tamer Pass, new Premium and Regular cosmetics, and a new competitive Season.

Hey Tamers! It’s now been over a month since the TemCS ended, and we’re here to walk through how it’s been for us, review its performance, and talk about its future.

Highlighted Changes

Temtem

• #065 – Hedgine 
  • Binary Flood has been removed from its move pool.
  • Token has been added to its move pool.
  • Hedgine is one of the strongest digitals in the format thanks to its Gotta Go Fast Trait .This is why we’ve decided to remove the move that we think is the most problematic in the Hedgine kit, and we will keep watch on it and its trait to see if it needs to be adjusted for 1.6.

•  #131 – Tukai
  • Noxious Bomb has been maintained in its move pool as a TC.
  • One of the most talked-about topics in the Tuwai line has been the Noxious Bomb tech. We have considered the feedback provided and have decided to remove this tech from the entire...

• The Ignoramus Cloack is no longer a unique item! You’ll be able to obtain a second one in the Pansun route.

• We’ve reviewed a very, very long list of emotes (49 on surfing board/skates, 31 sitting/espectating) so they can be used during spectating, sitting, surfing and crystal-skating! Try your favorite emotes to see if they made the list.
• Lair Bonuses will now increase depending on the group size, to make Lairs more attainable.

Hello, Tamers! Patch 1.5 launched late September, and with it, Temtem’s third Mythical Tem, Galios. Since it’s such an important Temtem, and the last to fulfill the Temtem roster, I sat down with Art Director Cris “Nae” Jiménez and Game Director Guillermo “YaW” Andrades to learn and share some insight on the birthing of the supernova Temtem! Grab a sippy drink and follow me.

Nae, what was the goal in mind with Galios’ design?

Since lore-wise Galios is in charge of rotating the Pansun’s plates and keeping the archipelago afloat, its design had to show power and omniscience. In addition, it was like the “final boss” of the game so it had to feel really special, almost like a god.

Welcome, Tamers, to the spookiest of Seasons, the crumble of old relics being awoken, the shadows: welcome to patch 1.5 and Season 5, Endless Night! Patch 1.5 is probably the biggest patch since we launched 1.0, and the first patch in a while that adds a new Temtem.

Galios, the third Mythical

Galios has awoken, or rather, you have awoken it! Start a new quest at Nanto Labs to discover unexplored heights, a mysterious order with much to hide, and the Temtem behind crucial natural forces.

Galios comes with a brand new route, in a brand new area. Enjoy new music, new effects, new cinematics and new (and not so new) characters. Its Traits are totally new mechanics that revolve around the Doom Status Condition, so it’ll be sure to cause plenty of surprises and unexpected twists in battle.

Maybe defeating Galios will unleash the biggest surprise...

• A new Mythical Temtem is here
  • Galios is the third and last Mythical Temtem. With a kit focused on Doom, new Traits with new mechanics, and a brand new route and Lair, it’s sure to spice things up around the Archipelago, a place it hasn’t visited in eons.
  • There’s a new quest that will take you to its Lair and unprecedent new heights. You can start it at Nanto Labs, in Cipanku.

• A new quest and a new route
  • Come onboard to a most distant land. The third Mythical Lair can now be unlocked, if you dare.
  • Meet a mysterious Order on your way to Galios, and find out more about their intriguing schemes.

• A new type of...

The time has finally come to dispel some of the mystery surrounding 1.5! As you know, patch 1.5 will launch on September 25th along with Season 5. And there’s a lot to talk about in this patch, so take my hand and I’ll walk you through some of the most interesting or relevant features of the upcoming patch 1.5.

The 3rd Mythical and its route

The third and last Mythical Temtem will be landing in the game very soon! This Mythical comes with a brand new route, in a brand new area that we think will surprise and delight you! We’re dying to welcome you onboard!

While we don’t want to give too many spoilers, this last Temtem’s Traits are totally new mechanics and revolve around the Doom Status Condition, so it’ll be sure to cause plenty of surprises and unexpected twists in battle. It’s also chonky, if you cared.

Its name starts with a G ...

We’re trying a new approach to balance changes this time around! We’ll be posting some Temtem and the changes that apply or heavily influence them all together, so you can more easily see and gauge the impact of these changes. To make sure nothing gets lost in the fray, though, these changes will still appear under their respective categories lower down below. Let us know what you think of this change, and any feedback you might have on it!

Hey Tamers! Three months flew by and we’re here again with another update! Patch 1.4 is mostly focused on the competitive aspects of the game, while patch 1.5 will be entirely PvE-centered.
