You wrote to us on our socials, on Discord and here on Steam: You want to play Dorfromantik outside in the hammock and cozily on the couch. Finally, we have found a good solution to make this major community wish come true. The ink on the contracts is dry, and weโ€™re thrilled to announce that development is now underway to bring Dorfromantik to even more platforms. Partnerships With Headup and ClockStone It was clear to us that we didn't just want to port a basic version for the phone, but rather enhance the potential for mobile with its own customized adaptation. As the majority of our development team is currently working on Star Birds, we have been looking for the right partners who share our ambitious vision. We are therefore pleased to announce that we have found this partnership in Headup Games and ClockStone Studio, who will help to implement and publish our vision of the mobile version. The Headup Games team is also already working on the Xbox and Playstation port of Dorfromantik. We would be delighted if this could lead to long-term collaboration with thriving follow-up projects. Toukana Interactive: We Stay Indie This milestone means a lot to us. Dorfromantik is more than just a game โ€“ it's the foundation that allows us to now pursue even more ambitious projects, like Star Birds, without relying on external publishers or investors. The success of Dorfromantik empowers us to work more independently, make our own creative decisions, and shape our future as a studio on our own terms. The industry partnerships allows us to expand Dorfromantik to new platforms without slowing down development on Star Birds โ€“ a balance weโ€™re proud to maintain. We canโ€™t wait to share more details with you soon. Stay tuned for updates, and thank you โ€“ as always โ€“ for being part of this journey with us. If you have any questions (and we assume there are a few), feel free to ask them in the comments. ๐Ÿ’›Monthly Challenge May 2025May 2, 2025 - Community Announcements{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39260149/bf6b3049de440aaff9446ecbf75e976b0591d3c1.png As you know, every month equals a new Monthly Challenge in Dorfromantik.

Earlier this year we announced our new project in collaboration with the wonderful birds of kurzgesagt โ€“ in a nutshell. During Sundayโ€™s PC Gaming Show we finally lifted the veil of secrecy and revealed the gameโ€™s name and more general information! โœจ Whatโ€™s Star Birds about? Star Birds will, similarly to Dorfromantik, offer a fresh and accessible approach to a well-established genre: Base Building and Automation! In the game, you will support the titular Star Birds on an important mission that is taking them across the vastness of space. Help them gather resources to continue their journey by mining asteroids and establishing thriving mining operations, take care of the growing Needs of your spacefaring colony, and discover new technologies to advance their operation even further. With a little luck, you might just uncover some truly out-of-this-world mysteriesโ€ฆ {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39260149/f053cf3d697833b040f1d6f5d31d8db57cabe760.gif ๐ŸŽฎ What will the gameplay look like? Disclaimer: Everything mentioned is considered in development and not final. Expect things to change. Scan nearby asteroids and deploy a rover to explore them to uncover hidden resources, ranging from staples like metals to some rather obscure, but no less important things the Star Birds just can not live without! Build production facilities to mine these resources and automate the manufacturing of increasingly advanced goods, send them to your Space Station to satisfy the needs of your Star Birds, no matter how odd they might be. Establish trading routes to create a bustling cosmic production network and ultimately take off for foreign star systems to pursue the mysteries of your galaxy! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39260149/a59bc0cf42c0cc4c81f29261cfb85d7e4f2fa59f.gif ๐ŸŒŸ What Star Birds offers ๐ŸŒš 360ยฐ building on asteroids ranging from space potato to various easter eggs ๐Ÿ”จ Resource gathering & management mechanics ๐ŸŽจ A vibrant art style inspired by kurzgesagt videos (and lots of birds, of course) ๐Ÿ›ธ A mysterious storyline with featuring kurzgesagt vibes ๐Ÿงช Resources & production processes inspired by real science ๐Ÿช Countless procedurally generated asteroids ๐ŸŽฒ Rogue-lite elements & high replayability ๐Ÿง  Intuitive and satisfying game mechanics ๐ŸŒŒ A unique and colorful journey through outer space ๐Ÿ† A magpie's nest full of shiny achievements {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39260149/af38c725050af87f3b41b9a467d7f8c0b4727cb1.gif ๐Ÿ”” Sounds good?
