Star Birds: News, Discord Community & Studio Channels

Whether you discovered Star Birds through the Kurzgesagt channels or found it on your own journey, we’re thrilled you’re here. Many of you have asked where to find more dev content, behind-the-scenes insights, and updates about our the game. Below, you’ll find a quick guide to all the places where Toukana Interactive shares news, stories, and fresh Star Birds goodness.

At Toukana, we’re a indie game studio of nine humans and two dogs, working together in the heart of Berlin. We’re passionate about charming design and wholesome games, and sometimes we capture small moments from our everyday studio life on our phones. Whenever that happens, you’ll usually find these little glimpses shared in our newsletter, on Discord, or across our social media channels.

Info: Star Birds is a collaboration between Kurzgesagt - In a Nutshell and Toukana Interactive. We met a few years ago at gamescom and have been working on our joint project ever since.
