20% Midweek Madness & Community News
Hey everyone,
we have bundled a few things that we would like to share with you:
While waiting for new content and the creative mode which we are hard at work on, some of you might want to try out similar games to Dorfromantik. For this we want to give a shoutout to our friends and fellow students from GrizzlyGames, the developers behind the fantastic ISLANDERS!
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1046030/
It's a game with a very similar relaxing approach to the city building genre and we think that players who enjoy Dorfromantik might also enjoy ISLANDERS, so feel free to give it a try!
We're super stoked to be part of Midweek Madness this week with a huge 20% discount on Dorfromantik! It is the first discount since the Early Access release in March and the biggest one yet.
So for those of you who have waited for a discount or who have held off picking up Dorfromantik, now might be a good opportunity!
We have had overwhelming months since our release with many of you contacting us with ideas and inspirations and general positivity. For this we want to again say thank you! We are happy and proud to have such a positive and welcoming growing community around Dorfromantik and we are excited to bring more features and content to the game.
Regarding the community itself, we have of course taken your feedback and are now happy to announce that we have expanded our team with someone who comes from our community itself. Dom has already helped us out a lot in our Discord and also more often in the Community Hub. We are very happy to welcome Dom to the team and would like to give him the opportunity to write a few things about himself:
As you have already noticed, we have been working intensively on balancing & performance updates for the last few weeks. Currently the patch 1.0.3b2 is currently live in beta and 1.0.3b3 will be released this week as well. If you want to join the beta, feel free to read this guide how to access the public beta program. Next, we'll get to work on the first content update in which we'll work on new content such as the creative mode.

Originally posted by Domin0eHey everyone!
First of all, I would love to thank the rest of the team for the warm Welcome.
My name is Dominik, or Domin0e, but please call me Dom! I will be your Community Manager slash Community Developer slash Punching Bag from here on out, happy to make all y’all’s acquaintance.
I have just started at Toukana and will be working here part-time, so you might not see me all the time, but I will do my best.
Like the others, I am living in Germany, although quite far away from Berlin. I hail from the lower rhine area, close the dutch border and the Ruhr Area. If you are interested in football you might have heard of a lovely club called Borussia Mönchengladbach, which is my hometown club. That said, I’m not much of a fan of the sport, so don’t expect any enthusiast chat from me.
When I am not busy supporting the other Toukans, and pandemic situation permitting, I do enjoy throwing some hoops and taking out my bicycle for some (local) touring.
As a community manager I will try to, well, manage y’all. That means I’ll support the others in collecting feedback and bugs, communicating with you on here and Discord, mostly. At least for now. I’ll also try to pop into streams every now and then (No, really. It’s important for work. I think!) and will do my best to also collect other content you create so the others see all the cool stuff you guys put out! In the coming days I will give the Steam Discussions a thorough sweep, and probably change a couple small things to hopefully make it better for everyone.
If you have any more questions about me, my role at Toukana, or related to Dorfromantik (that I could reasonable answer), you can find me on the official Toukana Discord or here in the Community Hub. If there is enough interest I would be down for a potential AMAA here on Steam.
Please take good care of me!
