Matchmaking will soon land in Temtem: Swarm

Matchmaking will soon land in Temtem: Swarm

5th February 2025

Helloooooo Tamers! After months of requests for it, we are glad to announce online Matchmaking is coming to Temtem: Swarm soon!

We initially did not support, or consider including random matchmaking for two main reasons: it was a huge technical feat, or so it seemed. Work on it was tough, and it required a ton of effort on GGTech’s and our side. Once on the task, we realized it was something we could manage and lead to fruition; the second reason, we didn’t believe playing with other random players would be cooperative enough, and we feared it would lead to disgruntling situations. This, you’ll have to tell us yourselves once you try it out in patch 0.6. All that said, after the overwhelming feedback we’ve received, we’ve decided to give it a try! That’s what Early Access is all about after all: being able to make changes based on players’ feedback.

How is it going to work?

Very simple! First, let’s look at how it will work if you’re the one creating the lobby:

First you’ll have to select whether you want your lobby to be public or private. It will be set to public by default,  but you can simply untick the checkbox to make it private. The host of the match will still be the only one who can make changes to the lobby, like choosing a map or turning experience share on and off.

If you’d rather play your match only with people you have invited or shared the code with, simply uncheck the box and invite your friends the traditional ways!
If you have set the lobby to public, other players looking for a match will be added to your lobby automatically! The game prioritizes people who are close to you, and then broadens out the range as it goes. This system was set in place to ensure you have the best possible experience in terms of connection, and to minimize lag issues.
The game will also try to match you with other players that have a similar level of experience to yours. This is measured by how many maps they have completed!

If you’re the one looking to play a quick match of Swarm with Strangers, you just have to choose to find a match instead of joining a lobby. The game, following the rules mentioned before, will match you with a fitting player who has a public lobby open! If you’re looking to play with someone you know, or if you have been provided a code, choose join lobby and enter the code as you were doing before. If you end up changing your mind and prefer to pair up with unknown people, you can still choose to find a match on the same screen, instead of entering a code.

If you are, for whatever reason, kicked out of a lobby, you will not be matched into that lobby again.

When!!!???!?!?!

We’ve been working extra hard on this feature, since it was the most requested one by our players, and because we believe cooperative playing is really enjoyable, and want everyone to have every chance to experience it. So we’re happy to announce it’ll be ready for patch 0.6, our upcoming patch! We’ve already shared some snippets of the first arena you’ll unlock, Omninesia, so consider checking it out if you haven’t!

 

As you know, spoilers increase as the updates get closer, so we’ll see you soon with more info! Until then, good luck with the Swarm and Temtem up!
