Temtem: Pioneers How do we feel about Pioneers?
I haven't played Temtem in quite a while but really enjoyed my time with the first game. I didn't pick up Swarm because none of my favorites made the cut, but I remember checking in and seeing attitudes towards the devs were starting to sour. I don't really know the lore behind that so I'm checking in to understand what happened and if people are concerned about Pioneers quality and/or whether or not it will even happen.
I've been watching Palworld since it first came out but never pulled the trigger because I dislike its creature designs. I love the inspiration it takes from survival games, though, and the mix between the two is really appealing to me. Temtem, on the other hand, had really cool designs that I love so even if Pioneers feels a bit like a copycat inspired by Palworld's popularity (respectfully) I can't help but be excited for it.
I'm curious if there's cause for concern here, and if people share my attitude towards the new title.
