Happy 2025, everyone! 🎉

We hope you had a perfect start to the new year. With a perfect training plan for the gym or the perfect cheese crust on your fondue bread. Depending on your preference.

The Monthly Challenge for January is Perfect Idyll!

Perfection takes form,
not in what the world can see—
felt within, it glows.

No force shapes the peace;
idylls bloom in hearts alone,
unique, unrestrained.

Keep your streak alive for as long as possible with perfect tiles. (We thought it might be more fun without those pesky boats and trains, though.)

Happy Holidays and Happy Building from the Toukana Interactive Team! 💖

We forgot to announce last month's monthly challenge, oopsie!
For this month we want to try something fresh.
Here, have two winter-haikus! <3

Cold wind whispers frost,
Hexes gleam, a frozen field,
Village takes its form.

Tiles fall like soft snow,
Quests bloom, a winter garden,
Build peace, tile by tile.

Our village is snowed in... with quests! Looks like You'll be tile-ing away the winter in Dorfromantik.

Yup, that's right! For the month of December, our Monthly Mode is all about quests.
How many can YOU complete with no more than 50 Tiles?!
And don't worry, no trains will trash your lofty Highscore-Throne amibtions. 😉

While building away and listening to the soothing Dorfromantik soundtrack you might want to have a look at the Soundtrack on Vinyl LP which is now available for pre-order at https://toukana.com/music
Still looking for a present? The Dorfromantik boardgames are fun for the whole family and available here[toukana.com]

Dorfromantik's monthly mode for October is: Small World!

This month, every Tile counts. Just as the days are getting shorter (in the northern hemisphere, at least), so does your playable area start shrinking to preserve the cozy warmth. We know that last month's Challenge was quite hard indeed, so we thought you'd enjoy something a little more relaxed for a change. 😉

All settings bar the World Size are default as well, so no nasty surprises there to ruin the relaxation!

Dorfromantik's monthly mode for September is: Industry!

Although we'd love to have more vacation time, summer is slowly waning; School is starting up again, and we are closing in on holiday season quickly!
This month's Monthly Mode will see you become industrious little bees - There are no trees, but everything else is dialed up, difficulty included!

Will you be able to take over the world, or will there be a hostile takeover?

Dorfromantik's monthly mode for august is: Big Lake!

There are lots of water to wrangle. Thankfully, there are no train tracks though! Tiles will be densely filled, and quests will ask for higher amount than usual!

Hey everybody!
Earlier this year we announced our new project in collaboration with the wonderful birds of kurzgesagt – in a nutshell. During Sunday’s PC Gaming Show we finally lifted the veil of secrecy and revealed the game’s name and more general information!


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 mysteries…


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!


🌚 360° building on asteroids ranging from space potato to various easter eggs
🔨 Resource gathering & management mechanics
🎨 A vibrant art style inspired by kurzgesagt videos (and lots of birds, of course)
🛸 A mysterious storyline with featuring kurzgesagt vibes
🧪 Resources & production processes inspired by real science
🪐 Countless procedurally generated asteroids
🎲 Rogue-lite elements & high replayability
🧠 Intuitive and satisfying game mechanics
🌌 A unique and colorful journey through outer space
🏆 A magpie's nest full of shiny achievements


Star Birds has been cleared for launch and is scheduled to launch into space (and your Steam library) in 2025!

WISHLIST IT

We can not wait to share more with you now that the veil of secrecy finally has been lifted! Everyone involved has been working hard over the last year and will continue to do their best, so let’s go to space together!

Dorfromantik's June Monthly: Perfectionism!

The rules? Simple:
There are no quests. If you want to keep your game going, you better invest in those perfect placements! Rails have been turned off, but rivers still flow free and WILL foil even your best laid-out plans. 👍
