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!
The first Breeder Temtem
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.
Creating Soma's Temtem
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!
And what are their names?
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.
