Temtem News

First of all, check out our new shiny gameplay trailer!

As you have already guessed by the title of this update and the video, Temtem will be releasing on Early Access on January 21st!

The Early Access version will only be available on PC (Steam and Discord). Among lots of other stuff, the Early Access will feature ~50% of the story content, three different islands (each with its own unique biomes), co-op, player customization, breeding, luma hunting, competitive ruleset with pick&ban for battles... And no more wipes (hopefully)!



Yes! You did! You will be able to play co-operatively the whole campaign.



We are going to be running a couple of server stress test in order to get everything up and ready for the public release.

The tests don't have a date yet, we're working on getting everything ready. But, if you are interested in participating, head over http://playtemtem.com/ and sign up with your email.

All backers will also be invited to the stress tests!



Without our backers, we wouldn't be here today. So, as usual, you will be among the first ones that will be able to test the new island and some of the new features coming in the Early Access.

We are going to release a new content update for the Alpha you are already playing on Dec 12 and you will be able to play it until a week or two before the Early Access launch.

Join us on this new Alpha update, help us iron out all the bugs and spend some quality time with your character and your Temtem before they are... gone.

Our latest naming contest already finished and we finally have official names for our first breeder Temtem. Tamers, meet Zephyruff and Volarend!

We've decided to add german to the list of languages Temtem will be available on!

So with this, Temtem will be enjoyable in seven languages: English, Spanish, Chinese (simplified), Japanese, Korean, French and German!

We've been asked a million times about this so we want to throw a bit of light on the topic.

We're working to have all the seven languages supported at the Early Access launch! We can't make any promises yet because it's a tooooon of work but we're working on it already and it is looking very plausible so far.

Another common and constant question we receive is about the dates for the Early Access launch and the Alpha 0.3 release.

We want to be very cautious about giving dates because the development process fluctuates a lot and it's very hard to nail dates when you're not super near to them. Having to delay something after announcing its date is heartbreaking for us and for the fans waiting for the content so we prefer to give dates only when we are 100% sure of them.

Having said that, we want to talk a bit about the next steps for Temtem before reaching the public Early Access release:

• Alpha 0.3 (including a new island, ~30 new Temtem, and new features) will be released during December.
• We will support 0.3 with frequent updates to fix any potential bugs and problems during a couple of weeks after its release.
• When everything feels stable enough, we will close the servers and Alpha testers won't be able to play anymore.
• Then, we will work in the dark for a few weeks more to get everything ready for the public Early Access launch, working on new features, more polishing, server improvements and including the translations.

The winner of our choose-a-Temtem mini-game #3 was still missing a name and we promised to choose it publicly with a naming contest. So, here it is!

This time we want to test something new, so we will start by choosing a name for only the initial form of the evolutionary line. When we have done that, we will open a new contest for both of its evolutions so you will be able to use the first form name while thinking names for its evolutions.

As usual, you need to join our Discord server to participate in the contest.

A couple of official Temtem arts!

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!

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.

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!

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.

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!





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.

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.
