Monthly Challenge July 2025



Turn your villages into a city. πŸ πŸ’šπŸ 

The Monthly Challenge for July is Stadtromantik!

Quiet tracks now hum,
a village breathes into stone β€”
new walls rise like trees.

Old fields turn to lights,
trains pulse where grass once swayed β€”
the heart beats faster.


Lots of houses and trains await you. It's getting dense!

Join our Discord Server to share your villages and cities with Dorfromantik players around the world!

Monthly Challenge June 2025



The rules in June? Simple: There are no quests. If you want to keep your game going, you better invest in those perfect placements! πŸ‘Œ

The Monthly Challenge for June is Perfectionism!

Hands measure the sky,
perfection builds out of rules β€”
no star out of place.

Rules sketch every dream,
perfection hums in the lines β€”
stillness sharp as stone.


Rails have been turned off, but rivers still flow free and will foil even your best laid-out plans.

Make sure to give it a spin, and join our Discord Server to chat with fellow high-score chasers!

Dorfromantik Expands to Further Consoles and Mobile!

We’ve got some incredibly exciting news to share: After many months of planning, it’s finally happening – Dorfromantik is officially making its way to PlayStation, Xbox, and Smartphones! πŸŽ‰




[h3]Major Community Wish: More Platforms[/h3]

The desire in the community grew louder every day. 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 we’re thrilled to announce that development is now underway to bring Dorfromantik to even more platforms.

[h3]Partnerships With Headup and ClockStone[/h3]

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.

[h3]Toukana Interactive: We Stay Indie[/h3]

This milestone means a lot to us. Dorfromantik is more than just a game – 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 – a balance we’re proud to maintain.

We can’t wait to share more details with you soon. Stay tuned for updates, and thank you – as always – 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. πŸ’›
