Temtem: Swarm News

Hello Tamers, and welcome to the first look into the upcoming, newest arena in Temtem: Swarm, Omninesia!

Those familiar with the Archipelago might’ve already walked through the forested rope bridges, but for those who might not know about Omninesia, it’s a tropical, lush paradise made up of little islands, also called The Myrisles.



Like all arenas in Temtem: Swarm, the Omninesia arena has some landmarks that are reminiscent of the island they’re representing, like a little version of them.

The spirit of the Omninesia people encourages communication and trade, so you’ll find bridges, passageways and even The Lift, a masterful invention seamlessly integrated amongst nature.



Stay under the leafy shade of the magnificent Great Banyan, and take a while to walk the flywalks, but be mindful of your step! Your surroundings can swiftly change into burning pools of lava and volcanic ash!



And of course, the Tems! Temtem inhabiting Omninesia are usually from the Nature type, the Fire type, and all their combinations. Other Omninesia inhabitants might also make an appearance.



The Omninesia arena is a totally new map and challenge that you’ll be able to enjoy and conquer in Patch 0.6, but of course, that's not all! Patch 0.6 will add two new playable Tems, two new waves to the Saipark map, new enemy behaviors, more spots, and more secrets that we'll reveal as the time gets closer!

Now that the holidays are over, the teams at Crema and GGTech are pushing to get Patch 0.6 in your hands as quickly as possible, and when we have a solid date, you’ll be the first to know! We hope you’ll receive it with open arms!

Hi Tamers! Although today's patch is an improvements and fixes one, we're hard at work on our next content update, and we'll share a sneak peek —almost a preview!— next week! So as usual, stay tuned!

Some content from the future 0.6 update made its way into this update accidentally, on the Saipark map. That content has now been removed, and it will be added back to the game on patch 0.6, as intended. We apologize for the inconveniences.

• 👥 New setting: Dash direction.
  • You can now choose whether you want to dash in the direction the Temtem is moving (the default one so far), or in the direction you're aiming.
  • If you're not actively aiming, it will resort to the movement direction.
  • You can switch between these two options anytime in the Settings menu. The movement direction dash is the default option.

• 👥 The Block feature will no longer consume your choice for that level up!
  • You can now block a perk and still choose a reward from the remaining available ones.
  • The perk you've blocked will still take up its slot, so you'll choose from the remaining, pre-existing ones you had gotten.
  • You can only use one block per level up screen.
  • If you choose to reroll after having blocked a perk, you'll get all new options, including the slot (not the perk you'd blocked, but a new one) you hade previously blocked.
• We've made some adjustments to the way Skill Tree Nodes that can be discovered but not unlocked are presented.
  • Up until now, some Nodes unlockable by completing Kudos could be viewed but not reached because other locked Nodes were in the way. This was part of progression, and it was intended that they were not reachable just yet, but it created a negative feeling on players of seeing something and not being able to get to it.
  • We've now locked those Nodes just like the ones not yet in-game, and they'll be unlocked and available once their surrounding Nodes are.
  • We hope this will help improve the feeling while we work on adding more Nodes and more content!
• We have reworked Aohi's Sacred Pillars so the previsualization of the chains informs players that they deal damage.
• We've given Water Cannon and Water Cannon+ a visual rework!
  • Since this is one of our first Techs ever, we felt it was a bit lackluster compared to the new ones, so we've given it a glow up!
  • We've also taken this chance to make the water torrents a bit more transparent, so they are not as intrusive as before.
• We have adjusted Tentacle Slash's tentacles so they don't appear under terrain anymore.

 

• 👥Fixed being unable to level up or open boxes in a co-op run if we had leveled up on close timing with fainting or reviving.
• Fixed players being unable to level up if Crystle applied its ultimate Technique to a Boss or Miniboss
• Fixed a softlock and an error after changing Save Profile and trying to create a Co-op lobby.
• 👥Fixed getting stuck in a tree in Arbury by using Dash.
• 👥Fixed getting stuck in some areas in Tucma by using Dash.
• Fixed being able to activate spots while in Ghost mode
• 👥Fixed that Toxic Waste would no longer leave the intended toxic trail behind if our Temtem evolved.
• Fixed being able to navigate the game with the Backup pop-up open.
• Fixed seeing water react as if the Boss of that map were still in it if we re-enter a map after defeating the Boss.
• Fixed a mysterious black line in Tucma.

 

Fixes, features, and improvements marked with the 👥 icon are originally suggested, inspired by, or reported by our community in our Discord server and subreddit.

Hello Tamers! We'd love to get your input and ideas for new spots, also known as events. These are the events that pop around the map at random intervals, which you can complete solo or with others.



As you might know, we're working on reworking them a little, but we also want to hear new and fresh ideas you might have for new ones! Here are some rules so we can both make the most of it.

[] ONLY new ideas. Please do not talk about reworking or improving pre-existing ones. You can create a separate discussion post for it.
[] One or two ideas per post! This way people can react to specifically what they like, and it'd be much simpler for us to examine each suggestion.

• Please, no debating in here! We would like to approach this as a list, rather than have to sift through hundreds of replies. If you like or dislike someone's suggestion, you can gift them a community icon!
  

Thank you in advance for all your ideas, let your creative juices flow and have fun!

Have we got a treat for you! Our digital friend Oree is this close to becoming a real-life huggable companion! The makeship campaign to bring Oree into the real world has soared past 70% of its funding: thanks for all your support so far!


This adorably big-headed little dude is absolutely bursting with terabytes of love and is still available for pre-order, but only for a limited time! We’re so close to reaching the goal and making sure that everyone who pre-orders gets to have their own little Oree at home.

Are you ready to help Oree find a home with you or your fellow tamers by pre-ordering it now? The Oree plushie can be pre-ordered here!

Get one for yourself, one for your mom, one for your waifu or husbando, or one for a friend, but do it before time runs out! 💖 We might’ve saved you a headache with all the holiday gifting going around these weeks!

The Oree plushie will be waiting for you in the snow, lighting one match after the other, thinking of how cozy your house must be… don’t let him down and you won’t regret it!
