Temtem Update Now Live On Switch, Here Are The Full Patch Notes

Update [Mon 9th Jan, 2023 14:15 GMT]: Fastemtem your seatbelts! (Sorry, we wanted to keep that tag line). Temtem’s version 1.2.1 patch is now ready to download on Switch.

As promised last week, Crema has released the patch, which looks to bring multiple improvements to the game, including tweaking the idle camera, adding new music, chat in battles, and more!

Here are the full patch notes straight from Crema’s website!

Patch 1.2.1, 9th January 2023

Important notice

• We’ve had to delete all the Showdown codes, except the eSports ones, due to a data conflict. Your teams haven’t been affected, you’ll just need to generate a new code, and, if you were using or posting it somewhere, replace that with the new one.
• Aqua Bullet Hell has accidentally been removed from your Umishi and Ukama, but you’ll have an empty technique slot and ABH will be in your learned techniques, so you can re-learn it immediately. We apologize for the inconveniences!

New stuff

• We have tweaked the idle battle cameras following the feedback provided by the community:
  • In order to reduce motion sickness in some players, we’ve slowed all camera movement to 1/3 of its original movement speed.
  • They will also start after 12 seconds of inactivity, as opposed to the previous 5 seconds of threshold. This will make them way less prevalent.
  • In the specific case of Koish fishing, we’ve removed most of the camera angles so that only cameras that focus on the Koish patterns appear. We have also developed some new cameras for this activity in particular that will make identifying the patterns and colors easier.
  • We know idle cameras have caused issues to some our players. Before we go through with disabling them, which would imply we stop receiving feedback and iterating on the feature, we’d like to give these changes a go to improve the main problems the cameras had. We believe the idle cameras add variety and richness to the game, so we’d rather polish them until everyone is happy than disable them without giving them a chance to be good.
• We have added some performance improvements to the Switch version. These improvements will be a huge help with the current crashes that the console is experiencing. But we’re not done yet, and we will be adding even more performance improvements for it in future patches.
• Tem Renaming Voucher is no longer automatically used when renaming a Temtem. Players will now always have the option to pay the name change with Pansuns instead.
• Players will now be able to use the Fruit Blender with Tems in the Temdeck too, not only the ones in the squad.
• The Fruit Blender will now show how the stats will change based on the TVs selected.
• Showdown Temtem will now always start with their SV value at 50 by default, instead of 1.
• We have added rarity indicators to customization items, like emotes, loading screens, battle intros, battle outros and battle outro music.
• The game will now show the gamepad buttons for each action when you press a modifier (a button that displays a set of hotkeys) in battle.
• We’ve added new notifications for the Trade House: when you sell something, and when an auction ends without the item/Tem selling.
• When you input a maximum quantity in one of the advanced options of the Temdeck and Trade House filters, it will now automatically select 0 as the minimum quantity.
• Added more information to the Victory screen at the end of a Ranked match in the case of winning because the opponent concedes or in the case of tying.
• Added a glowing effect to the claimable items of events, the same effect that is used in the Tamer Pass.
• We’ve made some improvements to entering text in some UIs, so it’s easier to understand if the text is not valid for any reason.
• We’ve made some performance improvements to the game’s UI.

Original article [Wed 4th Jan, 2023 12:30 GMT] Last year’s Switch port of the Pokémon-like creature catcher/battler Temtem may not have taken the world by storm quite as rapidly as some expected, but it is fair to say that the team at Crema are working hard to consistently bring improvements to the game (thanks, Go Nintendo).

This progressive eye is continuing into the New Year as the developer has announced that a small update will be coming to the game next week (9th January) and will focus on patching some of the problems that arose with the addition of ver.1.2. These problems included issues with the Switch memory and game crashes amongst others, so it is good to see that the team are working on a solution.

While we don’t have the full patch notes for this update just yet, the above tweet outlines some of the problems that will be targeted including the aforementioned crashes and edits made to the game’s idle camera.

We will be sure to provide you will the full details of this ver.1.2.1 update as soon as the notes are made available in the coming week.

What do you hope to see come to Temtem? Let us know in the comments!
