- Hotfix notes for May 14th - 13 May 2025
Special thanks to PsiΦPhiΦJaz on Discord for these bug reports. The following patch fixes... the... following... 1) If you have finished the tutorial once, you don't need to win or lose to disable it for future runs. Simply start a new game, and you can skip it, as well as choose a different difficulty. 2) Fixed a bug in the research book that showed a blank page if you're not on a recipe page when you close it. 3) Fixed the seeds during the tutorial, so they are actually raw food, and no longer immortal. Look at me! I did a patch notes thing! :)
- Hotfix (May 25) - 8 May 2025
Note, this patch may affect your save-games. If you wish to finish your old saves, you can switch back to v127 via the steam beta section.

- Update for New Players - 1 April 2024
Hello, inventors! I’ve noticed a trend when players dive into Temporian and share their adventures. Many jump right into the game on normal, hard, or even brutal difficulty, skip the tutorial, and later feel lost or find the game too challenging. Since Temporian’s release a year ago, I’ve been on a mission to make the start smoother for everyone by: Streamlining the tutorial Emphasizing Easy Mode for beginners Introducing automatic recipe updates Simplifying idea generation for characters Producing how-to-play videos Offering extra lifelines to prevent instant game overs The heart of Temporian is discovery, and the tutorial is there to cover the basics like card stacking and crafting. After that, it’s all about exploring and learning at your own pace. Some may click with it right away, while others might take a bit longer, and that’s perfectly okay! To ensure everyone gets the most out…
- Hotfix v1.2.1 - 28 March 2024
Thanks to MAKAIROSI for spotting a bug in the research book in which research wasn't saved in Normal difficulty. This has now been resolved. I've also taken the opportunity to update the font so it's easier to read on the card, hopefully. Feedback is appreciated!
- Update Notes for March 9th - 9 March 2024
What's New in Temporian: Font Update: We changed the game's font. It looks nicer now, so everything's easier to read and looks better. Family Feature: Now, if two of your workers share a house, they can start a family! It adds a cool new twist to how you manage your people, just don't expect them to do much for a long time! New Foods: We've hidden some fun new foods in the game for you to discover, like fries. Who doesn't love finding new snacks, right? Eating Seeds: You can eat seeds now, and we keep them with the other foods that need cooking. It's a small change but makes things more organized. Easier Start: For those playing on Easy mode, we've made it even better. You can start with up to 100 cards now, giving you more options from the get-go. Turn Counter: There's a new turn counter on the screen, so you always know which turn you're on. Handy, right? Easy Mode Hint: We added a no…

- Nominate us for "Best Game You Suck At" - 21 November 2023
Steam recently presented me with several categories for nominating my game, Temporian, in this year's Steam Awards. Among them, one category particularly resonated with me. Creating Temporian was not initially about crafting a challenging game. However, I aimed for a delicate balance, avoiding hand-holding while encouraging players to embrace both success and failure. The game was designed to prompt players to learn from their errors and improve their strategies for future challenges. The paradox is that while Temporian is tough, those who have mastered it certainly don't 'suck' at it. Yet, the "Best Game You Suck At" award category humorously highlights the game's challenging nature. So, if you've conquered Temporian's trials, consider this a unique way to celebrate your achievement by nominating it for this award. It's a fun nod to both the game's difficulty and your exceptional skill…
- Autumn Update - 21 November 2023
Added gifts - Your leader can now create pottery, ornaments and jewellery, as well as Jam and give it to your workers for an instant morale boost. How many can you discover? Rewind - After tinkering with the Temporian a little, you've discovered a hack that will let you rewind time up to 1 year. Perfect for those little mistakes. Be careful though, as you only have a little bit of energy to work with. Translations - Improvements have been made to most languages. Moo - Cows no longer leave your settlement if they aren't on a field or farm. They are cows... they aren't too picky about which grass they eat. Bug Fix - Fixed potential issue where cards couldn't decide which stack they wanted to join. As always, if you spot any bugs, please let me know, and I'll get a patch out asap!
- Version 1.0.8 - 25 July 2023
Another update which will hopefully make things easier for players that are new to the game. Changes Easy Mode research will now carry over to future Easy Mode games Cards stored in the Temporian are now difficulty and profile locked, meaning, for example, you can't transfer a research book from Easy to Hard Unlock cards cost fewer points Unlock points are no longer earned each turn. Instead you earn a fixed amount for completing a run, so long as it's longer than 5 years Unlock points are no longer earned in easy mode The harder the difficulty, the more research points you'll earn upon completion Chinese font updated Japanese font updated Please let me know if you spot any issues, and I will get right on them.
- 40% Sale Ends Today!!! - 24 July 2023
The 40% launch sale ends in just a few hours! The price will not drop to this level again in the near future, so if you'd like to get Temporian, now's your chance! As promised a few weeks ago, Temporian would get one final drop in price to what it was in Early Access, as a thank you for those who've supported its development early.

- Release Version 1.0.6 - 21 July 2023
Quite a few changes and additions were added to this build, so let's break them down. The Chinese Version was retranslated by Everqueen! Thanks for that! The Research Book has been changed so pages are sorted by category and then alphabetically. The Research Book has been updated to allow players to type on their keyboard, and it will search for what you're typing in. If you press the CTRL key while on the board, the cursor will change to a magnifying glass. Ctrl-Click on a card to go straight to that page in the research book. A symbol has been added to the Year so it's easier to know the current season. Full screen is no longer toggled by the esc key. You can find a new option in the options menu. The Esc key will now close the research book and will exit to the main menu from the board. Clay can now be found from the river. Please let me know your thoughts on these changes, as well a…
- Thank You - 17 July 2023
Hi, everyone! I'm just about to hit the button that will take Temporian out of Early Access and officially release it, but before that, I wanted to take a moment to write this message. I want to thank each and every one of you. I want to thank you for your support these past few months, helping me shape Temporian. When I first started designing it a year and a half ago, I couldn't have imagined how proud I would feel watching each of you playing it, sharing your stories, feedback and ideas. You have truly made Temporian into what it is today, and for that, you have my upmost graditude. However, we need to look at this moment as a launch pad, and make Temporian the best game it can be! I reiterate my promise that there will be no paid dlc, and development will continue for many months to come! So, thank you once more, and may luck guide you on your journey home! ChallAcc
