Back to working on 1.0 and until next time!

Do you smell that? A fresh waft of bug rot, seared and banished from my precious blood-soaked empire. I commanded a swift purge, and my minions terrified and caffeinated have delivered. Here lies your latest hotfix, straight from the crypt.

• Foolish mortals were duplicating locked furniture like they were breeding rats in the walls—no more! Their tricks are now as dead as their ambitions.

• The automatic buy feature will no longer attempt to shop at the closed blood mart. Even algorithms need a sense of business hours.

• Missions that demanded abstinence from the store (how quaint) were previously throwing tantrums. They now work properly. Chastity rewarded, apparently.

• Automatic buy and sell settings are now properly saved. You’re welcome, forgetful ones.

• Minions no longer beg for a $0 bonus. What are we, a charity? Back to the pits with them.

• The 9th and 10th stages of "Expanded Workforce" now function correctly. No more hiring phantom employees from beyond the grave... unless you're into that. 👻

🩸We are watching, always listening to your whispers and pleas. Your feedback delightful or deranged feeds the eternal engine that is Blood Bar Tycoon. Our tiny, cursed indie team thanks you for your support. Your devotion to our unholy cause is what keeps us going.

If this patch made your experience smoother than a fresh glass of Type AB+, please consider leaving a positive review on Steamit’s the best way to boost us in the algorithm and keeps the blood flowing. 💉

The Temtem: Swarm free demo is back online, and available for everyone who wants to give our chaotic bullet-heaven a try without paying in advance!

Patch 0.7.1 just launched, and between the many cool, community-suggested changes we introduced we also have brought back our free demo! We want everyone to have the chance to give Swarm a try, and we also want to welcome new players into our world! To that end, we've created a demo that will give everyone a good taste of what Swarm really is. If you enjoy our demo, please consider checking out the full game too!

In your Temtem: Swarm demo adventure you'll start with the lovely Platypet and Smazee by your side, our beloved starters! As you play and unlock Spots, you'll get the chance to hatch Oree and play with it as well! And later down the road you'll have a chance to meet Innki, a fan-favorite of all, but if you want to play it please dive into the full game! These Tems are very different from each other, so we hope you explore them all and experience their many different playstyles.

As for where you'll be playing, welcome to the Cipanku Arena! Enjoy the neon-drenched island where ancient pagodas and rickety wooden bridges clash with high-tech labs and digital chaos. A dearly beloved arena in the OG Temtem game, now at your reach in our Demo!

Any and all progress you make in the demo will transfer to the full game if you decide to step in! And the best part is that nothing is required from you, it will just automatically happen! We wanted to ensure the transition was as subtle and easy as possible.

Another fantastic thing: you'll be playing with Tamers from the full game and the demo alike, so you can join any friends that were playing, and meet new players you synergize with. Just keep in mind that, in order to be able to play Co-op with them, they need to meet you where you are, on the Cipanku Arena and without any Hacking Level. Hacking Modes, which are advanced and challenging ways to play, need to be unlocked in the full game. But if you've liked the demo I'm sure you'll get there in no time!

A fantastic chance to try out Temtem: Swarm for free, and a great way to welcome patch 0.7.1! If you're curious about our freshest patch you can read the patch notes here.

We hope you all give the free demo a try, and that you enjoy it! Find the free demo here!

See you soon for more, Tamers! Until then, have fun and Temtem up!

Hi all,

This patch fully reworks the editor hitbox system, used to detect part selection and obstruction.
Fixes the fundamental bugs and poor performance of the previous system, and cleans things up on my end.

This update is for the experimental branch, you'll need to opt-in to play it:

• Driveshafts connecting to engines and transmissions can no-longer connect at angles greater than 5 degrees.
  
• Cannons now snap to mantlets.
  
• Turret rings can now be selected by selecting the connected turret basket.
  
• Turret rings can now have basket segments lowered to 0 to make basketless turrets.
  
• Driveshaft obstruction hitboxes are now the full length of the shaft, instead of slightly shorter.
  
• Pressing the move hotkey (G) with a crew member selected but no posture node selected will now move the whole crewmember, instead of doing nothing.
  
• Obstruction messages now use correctly formatted part names.
  
• Trunnions are now referred to as "Cannon rotation area" in error messages.
  
• Powertrain selection names are now correctly formatted.

• Fixed not being able to select more than one driveshaft junction at a time.
  
• The cannon breech obstruction area now perfectly matches its visualization.
  
• Fixed armour obstruction hitboxes not perfectly matching their visuals in certain configurations.
  
• Fixed inconsistent part obstructions across maps.
  
• Removed the hull face inside the turret ring for several enemy designs.
  
• Cannon breech obstruction areas are now correct when the breech is in front of the trunnions.
  
• Barrel fuel tanks now have damage models.

• Significantly optimized plate structure edits.
  
• Optimized the hitbox of the cannon breech obstruction area with high elevation and azimuth limits.
  
• Plate structure edits are now multithreaded.
  
• Significantly optimized moving of parts with other parts attached e.g. turrets.

Continuing on with refining 0.2, next update will work on the 0.2 crew system, with the following goals:

• Improve UI for crew role switching
  
• Allow crew members to move to higher-priority roles if the current role-holder is knocked out.
  
• Limit the distance crew members can be from their roles.
  
• Disallow crew members in the turret from performing roles in the hull, and vice versa.
  
• Validate crew member posture, so crew members can't be squeezed into unrealistic positions.

Bug fixes.

• Fixed memory issues. The game uses far less memory now.
  
• Fixed Repair Shop menu bug.
  
• Fixed health display on 4k monitors.

Hi detectives,

First—a huge thank you to everyone who’s wishlisted and followed Veils of the Past so far! Your early support means the world.

Today, I want to highlight what makes Veils of the Past such a compelling and replayable experience: Every choice you make changes the story in dramatic ways, shaping your relationships, secrets you uncover, and even the mysteries themselves.

No playthrough is ever the same. Some paths might reveal forbidden romances, others deep betrayals, hidden truths, or unexpected allies. The people you trust, the clues you pursue, and the risks you take all carve out a unique journey—leading to multiple truly different possibilities.

• Forge deep connections… or lose them forever.

• Find clues that lead to revelations in one storyline, or end in heartbreak in another.

• See characters in an entirely new light with each decision you make.

There’s no “perfect” ending—only the truth you’re willing to chase, and the consequences you’ll face for it.

Sneak Peek: Here’s a look at your detective’s case board, which tracks your unique investigation as the story unfolds. What does yours reveal?

If you’re a fan of mysteries with real consequences and endless replayability, Veils of the Past is made for you.

Add Veils of the Past to your Steam wishlist now and be the first to uncover new details, trailers, and dev updates!
