If one of the players has the setting turned OFF (so they watch the animations), the spectator can still skip the animations, since the match will wait for the player who sees animations to complete their turn. If both players have Skip Animations ON, the Spectator can have the animations skipped as well. While you're spectating a match, the option to Skip Animations will be blocked in your settings, and it will be adjusted Once you quit spectating the match, the setting will go back to the way you had previously set it. The reason for this change was the many issues the interaction between these two features were causing. If an spectator was watching animations but the players weren't, turn actions would get overlapped, VFX would play all at once, and could even cause black screens. The Ranked Season will end on March 3rd insted of on April 7th. A bug caused this Ranked Season to have an extra month. It has since been corrected. From this patch onwards, all Ranked Seasons will last for 2 months, as originally intended. The code from the February Newsletter is now working correctly, sorry for the inconveniences! Balance PvP Temtem We feel like we've gotten to a point where all Tems are equally balanced and have balanced pick&ban rates, so the balance section is the shortest we've ever written. We're always on the case, so if your feedback or the data we gather prove otherwise, we'll look into it. #063 — Scaravolt Magma Cannon has been added back to its Tech Pool. Bug Fixes All platforms Fixed getting hard-locked out of the game if a player loses connection right as they enter a GritArena match. Fixed a black screen after leaving spectator mode during a turn if we had the Skip Animations setting turned off. Fixed a black screen caused by the animation of aa rival Galios fainting failing to play after it had fainted via Doom by having its Trait deactivated. 👥Fixed getting softlocked by the UI after leaving a PvP match or a Replay. 👥Fixed getting an invisible NPC after doing a couple of GritArena runs. Interacting with these NPCs causes a softlock. 👥Fixed losing our Gear if we handed an NPC a Gear-wearing Temtem directly from our TemDeck. Fixed that the cinematic with the Guards blocking access to Quetzal wasn't playing correctly for Co-op players, forcing them to break the Co-op. 👥Fixed a visual bug where our would Temtem appear at 1 HP after winning a tie-breaker in a PvE match. 👥Fixed having our Temtem appear at 0 HP on the Evershifting Tower, as well as in some situations like the Melee Dojo or the Arbury Tournament. Fixed encountering Tems over level 100 in the Temtem Nodes of the Mythical lairs, when the limit is 100. 👥Fixed not seeing the message that a radar has broken, on certain places and only if the player had the Skip Animations settings turned on. 👥Fix...The road well-traveled: Patch 1.8 and all its meaningFeb 7, 2025 - Community AnnouncementsHey there, Tamers! We just reached 2.000.000 accounts on Temtem, which is an impossibly big number for us to fathom! As we achieve this milestone, we think it's a great time to reflect on patch 1.8, which was the last big planned patch for Temtem and such an important milestone for us to reach, as well. The focus on patch 1.8 was to make Temtem more enjoyable in a more casual way, putting aside our long-held fears that having things become too easy would destroy or make impossible a proper, stable player economy. Screw that! We made adjustments to most gameplay areas so goals were more achievable and accessible, and most things can now be obtained in less time. We did our best to make sure the game is enjoyable, fun and kind to all the players who continue enjoying Temtem on a daily basis, and any new players who might make their way into the Archipelago. There was hardly any area of gameplay untouched in the patch, so we recommend you give the patch notes a read if you didn't back then, but today I'll do my best to break down the most important changes we made to Temtem. Join me in this stroll through the many changes and improvements in the 1.8 update! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32878068/82f224951e5f8dc99e6d8ca68122d1177dae52ef.jpg We have Umbras at home (and we really do) In this new Temtem era, the dream of having Luma and Umbra Tems has already become a reality for many more players! To start off easy, we improved the base Luma and Umbra rates to 1/2000 and 1/20000, respectively. That said, we still wanted to keep the flow of new Lumas/Umbras comprehensible and sensible, because they are still special! To strike a good balance, we made some adjustments to Radars and the Saipark, which were the main source of Lumas and Umbras for most players. Luma Radars are now cheaper, which is good on its own, and we also added a new Umbra Radar Box that can provide any random Umbra Radar from the pool, but Radars (of both types) now break once you capture a Luma Temtem (if it's a Luma Radar) or Umbra Temtem (if it's an Umbra Radar). Saipark got a new, similar limitation on the amount of Lumas you can catch per week on it: one Luma Temtem. To offset this limitation, all weeks have been and will be be Luma weeks in the new Saipark, and you don't need to pay any fee to enter it! Since the one Luma per week condition can be confusing, let us go deeper into it: once you catch ANY Luma Temtem in Saipark, the park will stop spawning Luma Tems. You can catch any regular Tems (non-Luma) or Umbra Tems in the Saipark without any risk to your weekly Luma catch. Alternatively, you can run from or kill any Luma Temtem, and that won’t use your catch of the week.Only actually catching one Luma Tem counts as your catch of the week. Please note that the game doesn't differentiate between the weekly featured Luma and any other Luma, so catching a Luma Tateru that was just chilling in its Saipark house WILL count towards your weekly catch and lock you out of finding Lumas of the we...Temtem has reached 2 million users across all platforms!Jan 23, 2025 - Community AnnouncementsTemtem has reached the 2 million mark on users!ːtemloveː How incredible is this?

Patch 1.8.2Dec 9, 2024 - Community AnnouncementsImportant notice The day for the Competitive Season change has been moved from 23/12 to 6/01. New Stuff A new pop-up message has been created for the Randomlocke mode, informing you that breaking co-op during a battle will cause you to lose that randomlocke run. Improvements We've made it so you can complete the Kudos and Weekly Challenges of completing a Radar if you capture the Luma at some point. They will still work if you complete the 300 encounters, but now we've added a completion condition for players who are unable to complete all 300 encounters because they find the Luma before. We have modified Dojo Parks furnishing so there is always a straight path to the entrance. Dojo Parks that had furniture and decoration set in that path will have it returned to their inventory. You'll see them once you enter Edit mode. We have adjusted the Triangle Head hat to have fixed dyes. Balance PvE The Techniques to Mythical Lair Bosses have been adjusted to better match their tamable versions. PvP Temtem #010 — Swali Allergic Spread is now learned at level 27 #011 — Loali Photosynthesis is now learned at level 35 Plague is now learned at level 49 Resin Trap is now learned at level 94 We wanted to equip Loali with better techniques in the early stages of the game, so Tamers can better enjoy the campaign with this Tem. #049 — Saku Bark Shield has been added to its tech pool at level 73. #050 — Valash Undermine has been removed from its tech pool. Double Edge has been added to its tech pool. With the addition to Undermine in 1.8 and the buff to Madness Buff at the same time, we noticed that Valash was over-performing a little bit. However, we really liked the idea that Valash had access to a neutral special technique, so we decided to go with another, weaker option. #095 — Zizare Narcoleptic Hit has been added to its tech pool at level 68. Zizare was one of the latest monotype Temtem that had no access to any coverage technique. Narcoleptic Hit felt like a good fit and gave him an even more interesting niche, paired with his favorite partner Nagaise. #108 — Goolder Paralysing Poison has been added to its tech pool at level 96. By adding Paralysing Poison to Goolder’s tech pool we wanted to give Goolder a more threatening option to punish players who tend to ignore him for too long. #121 — Broccolem Marathonist has been removed from its possible traits. Strong Liver has been added to its possible traits. This might be the biggest buff Broccolem has ever received. Since the removal of Strong Liver from Goolder on patch 1.6, this trait had disappeared from the competitive scene. This change is here to bring back the trait on a Temtem that we believe will make better use of it, allowing him to lose a weakness while not being immune to toxic ticks. #160 — Monkko Meditation has been removed from its possible traits. Unnoticed has been added to its possible traits. Because Meditation was a trait that saw near to no play, and instead of changing Monkko speed tiers...Merch alert! Innki plushies are being created and ready for pre-order.Oct 16, 2024 - Community AnnouncementsHey Tamers! Amidst all the chaos of Temtem: Swarm's free public Demo, and Temtem's 1.8.1 patch, we still have one big surprise left: merchandise!! One thing about Crema is that we don't have all that much merch out, so this is a golden opportunity to grab a memento of your passage through the Archipelago! I hereby present you, Innki: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32878068/3bc1ee77126e8dc6188f545ed18fec8ad0c2b0de.png Pre-orders are now available on the Makeship website!

So, bring home your own Innki Plushie and let the world know you've reached the pinnacle of taming. This is a Makeship campaign, so we have a time limit to get this cute guy running!

In the same vein of having the Temporium machines as furniture pieces for a Tamer's house, we have now added a Trading Station to the mix. This replica works the exact same way as their actual counterpart. It has been included in the Store. Improvements We've removed the decimals on the 100.00% Luma chance in Digilair, as it was displaying incorrectly. We've made it so the Temtem you receive from defeating NPCs will all be level 100 with all their SVs at 50. This applies to both Mythical Lairs and DigiLairs (although DigiLairs already provided all Tems with SVs at 50). You can now exchange Luma Anahir for Luma Drops, and it should provide the right amount of Luma Drops. Balance While this patch wasn't focused on balance, we wanted to address some issues that were causing frustration. Patch 1.8.2 will be more oriented towards balance.Temtem #013 — Gharunder Rend has been removed from its Tech Pool. #110 — Volarend Rend has been removed from its Tech Pool. #124 — Valiar Rend has been removed from its Tech Pool.Techniques Digital Torrent Base damage has been reduced 100 => 90 Fixes All platforms 👥Fixed a softlock when restarting DraftArena after choosing to end the run. 👥 Fixed a softlock if we click the right mouse button while we're clicking the left mouse button to run away from a combat.

It's also at its most polished state ever! ːtemloveː The sale will last from today until October 11th. Don't miss it, gamers!Patch 1.8 is here to revolutionize the world of Temtem!Sep 2, 2024 - Community AnnouncementsImportant notice The focus on this patch was to make Temtem more enjoyable in a more casual way, putting aside our long-held fears that having things become too easy would destroy or make impossible a proper, stable player economy. Screw that! We've made adjustments to most gameplay areas so goals are more achievable and accessible, and most things can now be obtained in less time. In this new Temtem era, the dream of having Luma and Umbra Tems will become a reality for more players, but we still tried to keep the flow of new Lumas/Umbras comprehensible. We've also added new measures against backtracking during the campaign, improved the economy for players on the early stages of the game, made endgame activities easier and more rewarding, revamped Saipark to last a long time, added some nice touches to ranked play, and muuuuch more. We're also opening the floodgates on all cosmetics and Tamer Passes, so the Archipelago is sure to become more colorful! There's hardly any area of gameplay untouched in this patch, so we recommend you give these bad boys a read, or else you might be caught off guard by the changes, or even miss some interesting perks! This patch is huge, special and bittersweet: it's Temtem's last big planned patch. From now on we'll meet back here from time to time for small bug fixes, and the occasional balance changes. We've reached our original goals for Temtem, fulfilled –even surpassed!– our planned roster of Tems and islands, and saw this game become bigger and greater than any of us could have ever dreamed of. As we kiss it complete, we want to put the cherry on top by making sure everyone, all of you who've been playing for years and any upcoming newbie snatching Temtem for the first time, can have the most enjoyable time while playing. We hope you like patch 1.8, and that it makes Temtem nicer to play, replay and return to. We also hope you'll stick with us as we discover new genres, learn and become better devs and continue enlarging the Temtem universe with more games, animated series, more merch and whatever the future brings, be it project Downbelow or a future —yet unplanned— Temtem 2. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32878068/47ccbec53930a37ae41d9eae2a795b764560c632.jpg New Stuff Welcome to the new Store: not Premium, nor rotating anymore! The Store will not rotate anymore, and the Weekly Feature section has been removed. The Store is now an enormous, permanent recollection of all previously Premium cosmetic items in Temtem, all of them purchasable with Feathers. We've added all the cosmetics available in the previous Store (both items in the daily rotation and all the history of items available in the weekly featured rotation). You'll also find all items from past in-game events, the cosmetics from all Tamer Passes (this will allow people to access the cosmetics even if they don't want to farm the Pass, and to have multiple copies of those that allow it), and a handful of extra items that were currently outside of player's reach,...Patch 1.7.1 is live!Jul 4, 2024 - Community AnnouncementsImportant notice We have corrected the issue preventing players on consoles from making purchases with Feathers instead of Novas. All console players can now use their Feathers to purchase cosmetics, as long as they have enough Feathers for it. Please do remember that the game will still prioritize using your existing Novas.

You can now shift the light points in the tunnel and at the top of the table by pressing the paddles’ input. Balance Temtem #20 – Amphatyr Petal Dagger has been removed from its tech pool.

This bug has been corrected for patch 1.7.1, which will be sent to certification on the very day we launch 1.7. It shouldn’t take more than two weeks to be certified and launched. You will still be able to purchase the Tamer Pass with either Novas or Feathers. The bug only affects the daily and weekly Premium Store. We didn’t want to postpone 1.7 any longer by re-starting the certification process, so we’ve opted for a new, quick build containing the fix, which is 1.7.1. We deeply apologize for the inconveniences this might cause. Premium monetization has been removed from the game. As of this patch, you won’t be able to purchase Novas anymore. There won’t be an option for it in the Shop anymore, and the bundles are being removed from all the platforms’ stores. Remaining Novas in player’s inventories won’t be removed and you’ll be able to keep using them to purchase cosmetics. You won’t be able to combine both Novas and Feathers to make purchases: the game will prioritize using your available Novas over your existing Feathers. We’re rounding up everyone’s Novas to a multiple of 50, to make sure any remaining amount is usable. This rounding will happen to the Novas on each platform (remember: you have a common stash of them, and the ones purchased in each platform. All the info here). All the loot pools that included Novas as a reward will have them swapped for Feathers. The Weekly Challenges of Tamer Passes will now reward Feathers instead of Novas, and the Premium Challenges will have added Pansuns to them. Tamer Passes will now be purchasable for 2000 Feathers or 700 Novas. Items will have a price of 2.5x times its price in Novas. For example, an item that costed 300 Novas will cost 750 Feathers. If you don’t have enough Novas to purchase something, you’ll see its price in Feathers, and Feathers will be used to purchase it. Please pay attention to the currency displayed when making the purchase, as that’s the currency that will be employed. Once you don’t have any Novas, the icon will disappear from the backpack and from the Store UI. There is no time limit to use your Novas, so please don’t feel rushed to employ them, and take your time. New stuff Welcome to the new Season, Neon Reverie!

As we approach the launch date for patch 1.7, it’s time for us to share some of the content planned for it! As usual, remember this is just a preview, and we’ll go more in-depth over the features and changes in the 1.7 patch notes. A new Season: Neon Reverie This new Season is special in so many ways. We’ve been through a lot of Seasons together, and explored a chunk of cultures, colors and themes hand in hand! Now, under sparkling neon lights, we reach Temtem’s last Season. It’s a moment filled with sadness, nostalgia, and tenderness towards all the Seasons we’ve discovered and enjoy! To close it off on the best note possible, this Season’s theme is pop culture, urban lifestyle and a tiny pinch of well-intentioned weebness. This wonderful mix of traditional and modern flowers in Cipanku, especially in Neoedo. Enjoy the latest trends or experience burning nostalgia in a vivid array of colors! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32878068/e09c1d5db4314f241efa6177ca7e64ea096e474e.jpg The Arcade Bar The long-awaited Arcade Bar will open its doors to all of you on patch 1.7! Since it was announced with the launch of the Kickstarter project, it definitely has some history and underwent a lot of changes during the development of Temtem. When we initially thought about an Arcade Bar, and added it as an stretch goal to Kickstarter, we were thinking of a collection of arcade minigames which would grant tickets you could purchase some rewards with. After that, and during the EA phase, we tinkered with the idea of doing an internal game jam, forming two to three teams to create said minigames. But you know how game dev usually goes: you never get a full week or two to exclusively dedicate to this, and we didn’t want to sacrifice urgent matters that affected the game as it was, such as bugs to fix, or content to adjust. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32878068/bc66a086b97ca48e219241ffcd919f98ef91307c.jpg Right around the time where we said that the idea for the Arcade Bar had evolved and was different from the original vision, we had just expanded seasons to four months and delayed the Arcade Bar on 1.4 to 1.7. As we mentioned before, our idea for the Arcade Bar wasn’t for it to be endless, so we prioritized more urgent matters, and content with higher replayability. We explored a lot of different approaches in this extra time, but soon found out many of the new approaches created a lot of worries and complications with cheating, not to mention patch 1.6 ended up taking a lot of unexpected time. Thus, since time is a full circle, the idea we finally deemed best and most fun is the same as when it was born as a Kickstarter stretch goal: to make some arcade games with cool rewards to go with it. When we talk about arcade games, to avoid confusion, we’re thinking of the classic arcade games from the 80s (think Asteroids, Pacman, etc.), but tailored up to the Temtem style. To keep your expectations aligned with ours, it wasn’t designed to keep users entertained forever, b...Patch 1.6.2Mar 25, 2024 - Community AnnouncementsImprovements We’ve added the character name and TamerID to the section in Settings where you could check your Support ID. 👥We’ve correctly updated Bunbun and Hidody’s Umbra Radar prices and they now match that of similar Tems. Balance PvE We’ve increased the the bonus that the Isolated Status Conditions offers while capturing Temtem, from 1.0x ⇒ 1.3x. We’re aware that removing Cage from some Tems may affect some capture methods in the PvE environment. We hope that we can provide useful and valid alternatives for PvE players by making Isolated have the same catch rate bonus. We have removed Venx from Musa’s Rematch roster. PvP Temtem #012 – Tateru Resilient has been removed from its traits. Burglar has been added to its traits. #021 – Bunbun Resilient has been removed from its traits. Camaraderie has been added to its traits. #022 – Mudrid STA has been increased 44 ⇒ 52 The nerf to Deluge affects Mudrid, as it is one of the key moves in its kit. We know that a simple STA buff may not be enough, so we have already prepared more changes for this Temtem in patch 1.7. #031 – Rhoulder STA has been increased 51 ⇒ 58 #052 – Owlhe Furor has been removed from its traits. Sentinel has been added to its traits. #084 – Mushi Resilient has been removed from its traits. Receptive has been added to its traits. #094 – Seismunch SPDEF has been increased 43 ⇒ 54. Seismunch has been MIA for several meta cycles, so we’ve decided to apply “the Saipat treatment” and considerably increase its bulk in the Special Defense department. #114 – Gazuma Tornado has been removed from its tech pool. Blizzard is now learned at level 67. Cage has been removed from its tech pool. Electromagnetism is now learned at level 85. This group of adjustments is the type of change we have planned for patch 1.7, so it serves as a small leak for the next patch. We consider that Gazuma has been central for many consecutive meta cycles thanks to its typing and tools. That’s why we intend to keep its support role intact, but we lower its offensive pressure by removing Tornado from its kit. On the removal of Cage and addition of Electromagnetism: this tech might not very interesting right now, but we are preparing a small buff for it. #130 – Tuwai Resilient has been removed from its traits. Air specialist has been added to its traits. #139 – Vulor Individualist has been removed from its traits. Resilient has been added to its traits. #152 – Minox Body stretch has been removed from its traits. Resilient has been added to its traits. Techniques Harmful Microwaves The type to activate its synergy has been changed from Electric ⇒ Fire. Digi-cores have been quite the headache for us to balance around. We have especially struggled with the combo of Monkko and Zaobian, that had no safe switch-ins in the whole game, all while giving each other the chance to enact a hard-hitting high priority technique on turn 1. We believe this change, while simple, will give a new life to the whole archetype. This also sl...Crema tease new Temtem game with fresh combat system alongside plans to remove all Temtem microtransactionsMar 5, 2024 - Rock, Paper, ShotgunCrema, the creators of much-liked Pokemon-like Temtem, are teasing a new untitled game set in the same universe - the mystifying Project Downbelow. It isn't Temtem: Swarm, aka Temtem Vampire Survivors, nor is it Temtem 2. But it will "try out new things we would love to see in a hypothetical Temtem 2", including a new combat system running on a "stronger" game engine. The tease accompanies news that Crema are making significant changes to Temtem as part of the game's update 1.7 - for one thing, they're getting rid of the whole microtransaction system. Temtempestuous times indeed! Read more A word on Temtem and Crema's future: an open letter to the communityMar 4, 2024 - Community AnnouncementsHello, Tamers! We’re here to share with you an open letter to the community, 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 and want to address them directly and sincerely apologize for them. We encourage everyone to please read it in full, and we hope it answers most, if not all, of your questions. Is Temtem an MMO? Back in 2018, when our Kickstarter page for Temtem was created, we tried to clarify our point of view on the MMO dimension of Temtem: that it does not have the same scope nor does it share the same bases as the MMOs most people think of when they think of the word MMO. In retrospect, we realize that the Kickstarter page was not the place where most players would get the information from. While we tried to not up-sell the multiplayer features and capabilities of the game in the store descriptions, and we have always shown the game as it is, with its flaws and strengths, we should have included something similar to the Kickstarter FAQ question to clarify it further, and amplify this information. We think this would’ve been a better course of action, and have learned from this for our future projects. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32878068/d2f2f7e6f76ad25e3c8dc747fd86d2fa5e10a7b3.png Excerpt from our Kickstarter FAQ From the get-go, we at Crema have described Temtem as an MMO-lite; this was our desired tag from the beginning, and the one we would have used across all our platforms had it been possible. Due to the lack of this tag we settled for the closest one, which is MMO, as we believe Temtem is massive, multiplayer, and online, with all players from any part of the world, on any platform, coexisting on one sole global server, and with a unified economy that encompasses every player. That said, we have done our best in the past years to adapt Temtem to better fit the players’ desires and the MMO tag. Many activities have been designed, created and included out of the community’s request for a more fulfilling MMO experience, such as Lairs, the Trading House, and Dojo Wars. This has made Temtem grow far beyond our original intentions, and even beyond our grasp. We understand now that seeing the game being called an MMO everywhere led to expectations that we hav...Patch 1.6.1Feb 22, 2024 - Community AnnouncementsIMPROVEMENTS 👥We’ve made some improvements to Replays: Renamed Tems now will display their nickname instead of the species name.
