Alpha 0.3

**Alpha 0.3**, also known as the **Social Update**, was a major release of Temtem introducing Tucma for the first time. With this version, the economy present in previous versions was erased and all users inventories were wiped. This release introduces new features, balancing changes, gameplay improvements, and more.

**Note:** Notes marked with a 👥 symbol were originally suggested/reported/mentioned by community members on the Crema Forums.

## New Stuff

* A whole new island!
* Coop
	+ Players are now able to join in a cooperative party with other players.
	+ When in coop, each player will use their first three Temtem in their squad.
	+ Both players will join their squads in every fight (against untamed Temtem or characters).
	+ The whole campaign can be played in coop. When starting a coop party, both players’ progress in the campaign will be set to the one player with less progress.
	+ A coop party can only be created when both players are near each other in order to avoid some locking situations.
* Competitive rules for battles
	+ When battling others, players can now pick between casual (classic 6v6 battle) or competitive rules.
	+ Competitive battles won’t use the regular squad so players need to configure their competitive squads in the Temdeck before going into a competitive battle.
	+ Competitive battles start with a pick&ban phase where players will take turns banning Temtem from their opponent and picking their own.
	+ When the teams of five are set, the battle will begin!
* Friends system
	+ Players are now able to add up to 50 players as friends.
	+ Players can check their friend list from the main menu, using the Friends option.
	+ There is no option to search or lookup for other players yet (it will be added soon), but friends can be added from nearby players.
	+ Up to three friends can be marked as favorite. Marking a friend as a favorite will make the server prioritize your connections so you (almost) always share the same server instance.
* Sitting
	+ Players are now able to sit in benches and chairs around the Archipelago.
	+ Once seated, if there’s enough room, players can move around and rotate in their spots.
	+ Players will still be able to use emotes when seated.
* 👥 Temessence phial
	+ This new key item will allow you to completely heal and revive your whole squad whenever you want to. But, it will only have one charge!
	+ The phial will be recharged every time you use a healing machine in a Temporium or when a character restores your squad.
	+ The Luisouvenir quest will now grant players with the phial.
	+ The Archipelago map (previously given by Luis) is now given at the beginning of the game.
* 👥 Full map
	+ The full map is now accessible!
	+ It can be opened from the in-game menu or pressing Select (xbox), touchpad (PS4) or M (keyboard).
	+ The map displays the current area. If located on an interior, players are able to change between the different floors or select the exterior too.
* Character creation
	+ Players are now able to choose their pronouns (he/him, she/her, they/them). Character dialogs have been revisited and characters will now talk to you using your preferred pronoun.
	+ Players are now able to choose their voice type.
	+ 👥 Added more face types.
* The game now has tutorials! Tutorials are meant to be as unobtrusive as possible so they will appear as notifications on the left on the screen with a summary. Players are able to open the details for each tutorial and inspect more additional info (or ignore them).
* Tamers will now have a (hidden) level cap. This level cap will be updated every time you capture a new Temtem or every time one of your Temtem increases their level, but it won’t be updated when receiving a Temtem via trade or from an NPC. Players will be able to receive Temtem over its tamer level cap, but they will be sent to the Temdeck boxes and players won’t be able to move them back to their squad until they match the level needed.
* 👥 Added a new key item that will allow displaying egg timers (you’ll need to find it first).
* 👥 Added rival’s Temtem HP and STA percentages to the PvP UI.
* 👥 Added rival’s name and avatar to the PvP UI.
* Added Tamer portraits to all UIs where they weren’t displayed before (tamer info, trade, interact…).
* Added 29 new capturable Temtem.
* Added 29 new traits.
* Added 34 new techniques.
* Added 35 new technique animations for previously available techniques.
* Non-unique gears can now be sold in shops.
* Settings
	+ Added a new setting to disable the in-game quest tracker or set it to dynamic (so it will only appear when it changes).

## Improvements

* Temdeck
	+ 👥 The Temdeck can now be filtered and sorted. Doing this will create a new temporal view of the Temdeck so it won’t change the order of the Temtem and how are they stored.
	+ The Temdeck now features a marking system. Each Temtem can be marked with one of the available marks to better visually organize your boxes.
	+ 👥 Each Temtem now displays their gear, gender, level, and mark.
	+ New Temtem will be highlighted the first time you check them on the Temdeck.
* Backpack
	+ Added a “Recent” pocket which will feature recently obtained and used items.
	+ Unique items will now display with a special icon and won’t display the annoying “1x”.
	+ Added the option to group similar items. Currently, it is used for quest items.
* 👥 Luma Temtem will now display a special visual and audio effect when entering the battlefield.
* Untamed Temtem will now display a mini animation when being encountered.
* 👥 Previously captured untamed Temtem will now display a Temcard icon next to their name.

* Status conditions are now shown on the Overworld squad UI.
* Interactable stuff in the world will now feature different icons based on the interaction type (inspect, talk…).
* The Interact UI has been revamped to display all new interact options.
* Starters and other special given Temtem will now display their information and players will now be able to add a nickname to them.
* Resetting your character will now maintain the Tamer ID instead of generating a new one.
* 👥 Resetting your character will now give you the opportunity to re-use the same name. The name will be freed up if not used in the new character.
* The Tempedia will now display a notification when filtered.
* FreeTem and the breeding center will now display a custom icon in the minimap.
* Improved UI key sections to dynamically display different actions based on the selected item.

## Balance

* Overall level cap is now 48.
* HP formula has been tweaked to increase the max HP values.
* Burning a fire-type Temtem will now remove the Cold and Freeze status conditions even if the Burn doesn’t apply due to the immunity.
* FreeTem pansun reward for releases has been greatly increased.
* Enhancer Pineapple and Enhancer Cherry price have been adequated to the rest of the enhancer fruits.
* EXP gained from untamed Temtem battles has been increased by 33%.
* Stamina changes
	+ Resting will now grant a stamina bonus based on the Temtem STA stat.
	+ After overexerting one turn, the Temtem won’t be able to use any techniques on the next turn so they will be forced to rest or be swapped.
