Latest Updates from Our Project:

Presenting our first Breeder Temtem 🐤
over 6 years ago – Tue, Oct 08, 2019 at 03:39:19 PM

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 Temtem

When we contacted Soma asking for their input on the Temtem, they sent us back their ideas and lots of helpful details about its appearance, biology, lore and personality.

Soma wanted to create a two stage evolution line Toxic/Wind bird with a majestic body shaped like a Archaeopteryx, cloud-like tufts and toxin filled feathers. The initial idea was to create a phoenix-like bird but based on Soma's description of the Temtem, we ended up doing something more fierce and less mystical.

When creating a new Temtem we always start with the same step, doing several concepts and tossing ideas around. We created five different proposals for both the first and second form.


Based on these concepts, Soma picked their favorite parts and with their input we created some more variations changing some details and refining the general idea for the Temtem.


And then, even some more detailing to finally end up picking a final design (number 2)

After the second form was chosen, we did the same process with the first form. We made some tweaks and variations and ended up choosing the final design (number 5).

 So, after choosing the final designs, polishing them a bit and making some room in our Tempedia, we present you #109 and #110!

And what are their names?

Welp, you (the community) will need to answer this question because Soma has decided that we run a community based naming contest to name both Temtem.

So, starting today, you are able to propose names for these couple of fierce Temtem and in a few days you'll also be able to choose the final selected name (although in this occasion, Soma will be able to deny some of the names if they don't like them).

As always, the contest is running in our Discord Server, so go there and check the announcements channel for more info on how to participate.

Projects we love

Indiecalypse is a dark humor videogame about an indie team that depicts the crude reality of indie game developers and their struggles to get their shit together when it comes to releasing a video game. Indiecalypse is filled with references to some of the most popular -and not so popular- video games in history. The many mini-games scattered throughout the main game are our particular tribute to those titles that somehow have defined our miserable lives. In its essence, Indiecalypse is a heartfelt confession, an invitation to recall our sentimental memoirs as gamers. 

Snakesss naming contessst 🐍🐍🐍
over 6 years ago – Thu, Sep 12, 2019 at 12:19:53 AM

A couple of short news today.

First of all, thank you for voting in our previous naming contest. Our Temtem #129 will be named Adoroboros!


And another new naming contest

We have a lot of names pending from the previous choose-a-Temtem contests, so let's begin with the Choose-a-Temtem #2 winner and its unveiled evo!

As usual, you just need to go to our Discord server and check the #035-036 channel for more information.

Progress on physical rewards + Character name reservation 🙋
over 6 years ago – Wed, Sep 04, 2019 at 01:35:34 AM

Before we begin, we want to remember that the naming contest for #129 is still going on and it just entered its latest phase in which you'll be able to vote for the final selected name among the most popular ones during the slaughter phase.

Make sure to join our Discord server and vote your favorite!

Where are my physical rewards?

Back on February we talked about the status on physical rewards and the problems we had with the tamer statue.

We've been working with our new manufacturer over these past months and we're glad to say the statue is looking better than ever.

We finally reached a point where we're truly happy with the results. The Statue looks great!

The statue still needs to enter the production stage so we're not going to be able to send the physical rewards (sticker, plushie and statue) during this September. We expect to have everything ready in the next months. As usual, we will keep you posted on news and updates.

In the meantime, you can make sure your address is updated on Backerkit: https://temtem.backerkit.com/

Character Name Reservation

One of the things we need to prepare before the Early Access launch is to make sure every Temtem Master backer has the option to reserve their character handle before the hordes enter the game.

And today we're starting the process. You should have received an email with instructions on how to reserve it. Clicking the reserve character name button in your email will open the character name reservation form. In this form you will see some instructions (please read them), some fields you'll need to ignore (the email and the security code) and some fields you'll need to fill (the desired names).

Please, fill all five options with different names, and read the rules about character naming. We need the five options in case your firsts options are not available.

The form must be submitted before December 1st. If you don't fill it before the date, you will lose the option to reserve the name.

I haven't received the email!

  • Only backers who paid $40 (Temtem Master tier) or more are entitled to reserve their character name. If you paid $30 or less, you don't need to do anything right now.
  • Check your spam folder.
  • Check your promotions folder.
  • Search in your email for: [email protected] 
  • If you still don't find it, write us to [email protected] and we'll try to help you.

New naming contest! ☢️
over 6 years ago – Wed, Aug 28, 2019 at 04:19:57 PM

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 those names.

Now we're going to get away from the process and we will relay everything in our community. The naming contest will have three phases:

  •  Proposals: Every user in our Discord server will be able to propose new names using our custom TemtemBot. You can propose all the names you want.
  •  Slaughter: During this phase, users will be able to vote on proposed names with a like or a dislike. When you vote one name, a new one will appear!
  •  Final Vote: When the likes are tailored, the final top 10 choices will be revealed and used in the final poll.

And all phases will be done in private, so there won't be any direct influences on the votes!

The only requisite for participating is to be part of our awesome Discord server, so if you still haven't joined, do so and check the #129 channel for more info.

Alpha 0.2.5 is here! Breeding + FreeTem! Initiative and much more
over 6 years ago – Fri, Jul 26, 2019 at 01:36:57 AM

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 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 go ahead and do it now.

We've changed a few things since that update, so if you want to know every single detail about it, you should check the full patch notes.

FreeTem! Initiative

We're very excited about this!

The FreeTem! Initiative is our first approach to having methods of earning infinite Pansuns and to keep all players entertained after the campaign is over. Take into consideration that this is just one of the methods that will be available in the final game.

They promote the idea that all Temtem should be free and back in nature, so they will reward players for every Temtem released.  Also, each week they will have a special reward, which will be granted upon reaching a certain number of freed Temtem. The rewards will be different every week so players are encouraged to check them frequently to not miss anything.

Emotes & Quest Tracker

Another couple of shiny new features in this patch.

Temtem is filled with sidequests and sometimes even the main quest can be a bit daunting due to all the different areas the Archipelago has. This is why we're introducing a quest tracker!

The quest tracker will allow players to... you guessed, track quests!

It will show the most recent quests with instructions on how to proceed next. In the future we will expand this quest tracker with a full quest log which will allow you to check every single quest.

And... the last highlighted feature is the emotes! Emotes will allow players to express themselves much better! Currently there's four emotes available and we will be adding new ones in the future.

And more!

As usual, there's a lot of stuff under the hood. New technique animations, new Luma species, new music, UI improvements, old animations reworked, small quality of life improvements, some balance changes and a million of bugs are waiting for you in this patch.
