With these changes we are trying to make forward-aimed Techniques feel better without the need to include an aiming option. Due to the higher speed in Temtem: Swarm compared to other survivor games, you are usually running from the enemies instead of into the enemies, which makes aiming at them complicated. While we do like that gameplay option, we believe it should be something more advanced and for stronger Techniques (like Tornado), and not something as a base for so many Techniques in our game.Please let us know your feedback and how these Techniques feel now. Our internal playtests have shown they feel much better and more relevant now, without the need for the complex gameplay of aiming them by using your movement, since they are now way easier to land (especially because you usually have an enemy behind you).
Fixes
- Fixed double music in the main menu after skipping too fast the intro videos.
- Fixed healing items not being pickable if they are near a Soul area in co-op.
- Fixed some errors that could affect performance when an egg was hit by an enemy while doing a capture spot.
- Fixed not being able to open the game after the savegame has been corrupted. Now the game will detect this and re-create the save.
- Fixed being able to reach negative Pansuns using the Skill Tree.
