    For those lucky enough to have already obtained a PS5, you can now play Temtem Early Access on this new console!

    Since the release, (imo) there has been quite an underwhelming amount of games that have been made specifically for this new gaming mega-giant. For most PS5 owners, it comes down to playing old PlayStation 4 & 3 games that have either had minor adjustments for the game itself, or just a basic port of the original game. Very few games have been optimized to meet the standards of the PlayStation 5. Surprisingly enough, the developers of Temtem have decided to bring their game to the next gen machine, fully upgraded and ready to go today!

    A bit about Temtem

    For those that missed the major hype, Temtem is a creature collection game much in the style of the Pokemon series. However, one thing that Temtem boasts over Pokemon is a fully functioning online multiplayer mode. This was the feature that put Temtem at the top of gaming headlines for some time. By using a feature that should have been in the Pokemon series from the start, Temtem carved itself a spot in the heart of many creature collection fans.

    The only thing that stopped Temtem from being the next big thing was the developers inability to keep the game up to gamers standards, i.e. bug fixes, server issues and content updates. These days the player base struggles to stay above 1,000 players, which may have a bit to do with their porting to the PS5. Given how promising the game truly is, this may just be the thing that finally puts Temtem where it could have been all along, in the hall of fame for creature collection games.

    The massive multiplayer online creature collection game, Temtem, has reached 500,000 copies sold.

    Since its release on Steam last month, Temtem has received overwhelmingly positive reviews. Players are raving about how much this game has to offer by way of features that improve upon the creature collection genre. Certain things that the Pokemon franchise was never quite able to perfect, like smooth running and in-depth multiplayer.

    After only one month of being able to be purchased in Early Access, Temtem has already surpassed half a million copies sold. Given that the game is still technically in development, that is quite an amazing number indeed.

    On top of that, Temtem has already received more than 16,000 reviews on Steam, with an overall tone of very positive. Not surprising, considering just how well made this indie game truly is. Fans of the genre agree that Temtem has certainly carved out a spot for itself in the creature collection world.

    Cook, Serve, Delicious! 3!? – January 2020

    Cook, serve, delicious! 3 poutine

    The first Cook, Serve, Delicious! game came to PC and mobile devices in 2013. Selling more than a million copies, it was more than popular enough to warrant a sequel. Cook, Serve, Delicious! 2 was released for PC, Switch, PS4 and Xbox One, as well as Mac and Linux. Now a third entry into the series will be releasing on Steam Early Access in January 2020.

    Mythic Ocean – January 9th, 2020

    The upcoming creature-collection game, Temtem, now has a video showing the starter monsters.

    Temtem, which is certainly inspired by Pokemon and other creature collection franchises, takes place in the aesthetic Airborne Archipelago and is described by Crema as “a massively multiplayer creature-collection adventure”. Alongside your Temtem squad, you can catch and collect Temtems, battle rival tamers, customize your house, join in on a friend’s adventure and explore a dynamic online world.

    Temtem

    Having just announced that the game will be available in early access, the publishers have now released a video showing what the starter monsters look like. For those new the genre, the starter monsters are usually the creatures that you get to pick from at the start of the game, without having to do anything to earn them.

    Like many games before it, Temtem offers the option of three different starter monsters. In the video, you get a decent description of the creatures. The overview includes types, abilities, strengths and weakness; pretty much everything you need to know to make your decision before jumping into the game.

    Temtem Starter Video

    Temtem is scheduled to release on January 21st, 2020. For more information on the game, you can Check out the steam page. Be sure to wishlist while you are there. From more awesome games like Temtem, check out my coverage of Pokemon Sword & Shield.

    I’ve been following this creature-collection MMO, created by Crema, for quite some time now. It may seem very similar to the beloved Pokemon series however it does offer some unique differences such as designing your own home interior, and fertility values for breeding and player emotes for online fun! Since I’ve really been enjoying Pokemon Shield’s multiplayer online features, I can’t wait to discover a variety of new monsters in a game completely designed for online!

    Become the best Temtem tamer and explore the six islands of the Airborne Archipelago! Thanks to a new announcement trailer, we can do just that very soon as Temtem will be available in Early Access January 21st, 2020 on Steam here and Humble Bundle here. The developers note that the Early Access will contain the following: “50% of the story content, three different islands (each with its own unique biomes), co-op campaign, player customization, breeding, Luma hunting, and a competitive rule-set.”

    Don’t worry if you’re not a PC gamer as Crema still has plans to launch Temtem on all major consoles sometime in Q4 2020.

    Temtem is about seeking adventure in the lovely Airborne Archipelago alongside your Temtem squad. Catch every Temtem and battle tamers around the world. This MMO is created by Crema and has just released its Alpha 0.2.5 with quite the large updates which you can read in more detail from Crema here. You can also check out all the other updates with us right here if you missed them last time. The game is estimated to release sometime in 2020 on PC (Steam), Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, and PS4. Below you can read the highlights on the newly added Breeding system and more!

    Breeding

    If two Temtem are compatible, putting them together in the Breeding Center will create a new Egg. Eggs will eventually hatch into a new Temtem and they will be able to inherit some characteristics from their parents. The two parents will need to be one female and one male and of the same type (i.e. Fire, Electric). If a Temtem has two types, it will be compatible with other species from any of those two types.

    Temtem Fertility

    Breeding Temtem in captivity will generate stress for the participants during the process. This stress is reflected in the fertility value of each Temtem. The fertility value is used to avoid over-exploitation of perfectly bred Temtem. Each captured Temtem will begin with a fertility value predetermined by how good they are (genetically speaking – each SV over 40 will reduce the fertility).

    Each time a Temtem is used to breed an egg, they will permanently lose a fertility point. Additionally, the produced egg will inherit the fertility value from their parents (the lower value between the father fertility and the mother fertility). This way, fertility degradation will be pyramidal.

    Getting and Hatching Eggs

    At the Breeding Center, a new egg will be generated in 40 (real-time) minutes after the couple is deposited. If both deposited Temtem are part of the same evolutionary line, the time will be reduced to 25 minutes. When the time is up, you will be able to get back the couple of Temtem and the generated egg. The egg will hold a level 1 Temtem and the species will be the first form of the mother’s evolutionary line.

    The time required to hatch an egg can range between 5 to 40 minutes, depending on the capture rate of that Temtem species. Time will only pass as long as the Temtem is equipped in your Squad but you don’t need to move around in order for the egg to hatch.

    To read more about the breeding process in Temtem and how to inherit traits, can do the Kickstarter update here.

    FreeTem! Initiative

    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.

    The idea is to promote that all Temtem should be free and sent back to the wild. Therefore, you will be rewarded for every Temtem released. Furthermore, each week there will be an additional special reward 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

    Temtem is filled with sidequests and sometimes even the main quest can be a bit daunting due to all the different areas of the Archipelago. This is why there’s now a Quest Tracker!

    It will show the most recent quests with instructions on how to proceed. In the future, the Quest Tracker will be expanded with a full quest log which will allow you to check every single quest. The last highlighted feature is the emotes! Emotes will allow players to express themselves much better! Currently there’s four emotes available with new ones to come in the future.

    Temtem is a MMO creature-collecting game heavily inspired by Pokemon and created by Crema, a studio based in Spain. The developers have ended their Kickstarter campaign back in July 2018 and are now in full production. You can get caught up on the basics of the game with us at myPotatoGames here. The game will be released digitally on all consoles and PC with no monthly subscriptions (online only). In addition, the creators intend to add cross-play with a cross-save option. See below for the latest blogs and updates.

    Digital Temtem and TemCards

    A group of scientists, Professor Konstantinos, Tihani, Yareni, Nalla, Dr. Sasaya, and Dr. Hamijo, have been researching technology and Temtem. Together they created a new type of Temtem; Digital Temtem, a Crystal-Electric hybrid. Furthermore, by studying volcanic crystals, they also created TemCards; items capable of storing Temtem (essentially the Pokeball).

    Alpha Content Update 1

    The first Alpha, available since April 2019, “Features the full first island, 30 Temtem, complete single-player mechanics (tamers, wild battles, catching and training Temtem, story, quests…), and basic multiplayer functionality (1v1 battles, chat, persistent online, seeing other players within the world…).” The Alpha updates will all be accessible to old and new backers. Meaning, a pre-order option is soon to come for the game and instant access to the Alpha (for Steam only).

    Aguamarina Caves

    The Aguamarina Caves are a complex of caverns that run deep under the Thalassian Cliffs. The better known entrance is through the Sillaro River, but they’re so huge they even cross the whole cliffs and connect the river to the upper area of the Indigo lake.

    The Caves have five different floors and they include a new gameplay feature: the crystal areas. We don’t want to spoil too much, so you’ll need to go ahead and discover it by yourself. The crystal areas affect how the player moves through the terrain and they will be very present along the whole Archipelago.

    Right now the Caves are a totally optional area to explore and they don’t have too much in terms of interesting new Temtem or items. In the future we plan to re-populate them with some more Temtem so they will become the first area in the game where you will be able to obtain them. They will also hold a special and unique shrine you will be able to reach with the climbing equipment…

    House Interiors

    One of the more prominent features missing from the current Alpha is the option to go inside the houses currently placed on Deniz. This ends today!

    With this patch you will be able to visit the houses and talk with the people inside them. Houses are also usually something optional, but they add so much richness to the lore and the overall feeling of the game we wanted to include them as soon as possible.

    You’ll notice some of the houses are still closed. These houses are “special” places that will open in future updates since they are related to some unavailable features right now. We added an Alpha sign to them so you will know where you can enter or not.

    By the way, almost everything you see in the NPC houses will also be available to player housing. We’re doing everything as flexible as we can so everything works for the player’s houses too.

    Alpha Content Update 2 and More

    The developers are currently working on another huge content patch for the Alpha, which will includes:

    • a whole new Island (Omninesia)
    • new Temtem
    • several new features such as gameplay mechanics
    • new original soundtrack by Damian Sanchez

    However, this second Alpha patch has been delayed a couple of months to approximately June 2019. Consequently, this will also delay the Early Access launch on Steam (estimated September 2019) as well as the final release of the game which was previously slated for May 2020.
