Dorfromantik changes
We’re also seeing our daily player counts rising again, and it warms our hearts to know that so many of you — both new and longtime fans — are continuing to enjoy building your peaceful worlds.
It’s been over four years since Dorfromantik first launched in Early Access, and moments like this remind us how special this journey has been. Seeing new villages grow every day fills us with gratitude and inspiration.
Who Is Toukana Interactive?
For those of you who are new here — hi, and welcome! We are Toukana Interactive, an indie game studio based in Berlin, Germany. We were founded in 2020 by four students of the Game Design program at HTW Berlin (University of Applied Sciences).
Our very first project was Dorfromantik, which started as a small student prototype and grew — thanks to all of you — into the game it is today. During the Early Access phase, we quickly realized how incredible our community is, and many of you have stayed with us ever since.
Over time, we added a Creative Mode, released a Nintendo Switch version, and this summer 2025, Dorfromantik finally arrived on Xbox and PlayStation! 🎮 Right now, we’re working hard on the Mobile Edition for smartphones.
But that’s not all — about two years ago, we also started a new project: Star Birds, developed in collaboration with Kurzgesagt – In a Nutshell.
Our studio is growing steadily but sustainably. We’re now a team of eight people, and we love how our community around Dorfromantik has remained constructive, friendly, and welcoming. Seeing that new players embrace and carry on this spirit makes us genuinely happy.
Looking Back — and Forward Together
Many of you reading this have been with us since the very first prototype of Dorfromantik. To you, we owe our deepest thanks — for your feedback, your patience, and your passion that helped shape the path of Toukana Interactive.
We hope you’ll join us in giving all the new players a warm welcome. What we love most is that we never stand still — things at Toukana keep evolving, yet the most important part stays the same: We remain indie.
We want to continue making high-quality games with strong design values, and we want to stay wholesome — in our games and as a community.
Thank you for sticking with us, for sharing your creativity, and for helping us build this future together. 💛
– Your Toukana Interactive Team
