The theme for the 6th Creative Showcase is OPEN THEME.
Over the last ~3 months, we have seen so many awesome builds from all of you, we'd love to put the reins into your hands for this one. You have the choice to submit whatever creative endeavor you think is your best, or the one deserving to be shown off most.

[h3]Creative Showcase Duration[/h3]
In order to allow you to be the most creative you can be, we will stretch this one's submission period until December 6th, giving you two weeks to submit!
Likewise, we'll stretch voting over the weekend, as well.

This Showcase will run from November 19th until December 13th. Results will also be announced then.

November 19th - December 6th - Submission Period December 6th - December 13th - Voting Period

[h3]How to submit an entry[/h3]
Taking part in the creative Showcase is as easy as uploading your screenshot to Steam and linking it in a reply to this post.
Alternatively, you can submit your entry on our Discord.

[h3]Rules[/h3]
The Team at Toukana decides on an interesting Theme, which may or may not work in conjunction with new or recent content. The announcement happens on a Friday in the afternoon CET. From there, you get a week or two to enter your screenshot of a creative world that adheres to the announced Theme. After the submission period ends on monday, voting will commence and remain open until friday afternoon CET. On Friday, winners and a new theme will be announced as well.

Everyone gets to vote. When voting, you get three votes, worth 5 Points, 3 Points, and 1 Point respectively. After Voting concludes, we will add up all points and whoever has gotten the most points will win. In case of a tie, the highest amount of 5 Point votes will decide. If those tie as well, the higher amount of 3 Point votes will decide the winner. If those tie as well, the 1 Point votes decide. If all numbers match, it will be a confirmed Tie.

YOU MAY USE THE BETA BRANCH FOR OTHERWISE UNAVAILABLE FEATURES (or potential new tiles)

[h2]Where do I vote!?[/h2]

Voting is done via this Google Form! (We do not track emails or google accounts!)

Voting concludes at 2pm CET on Monday December 13th.


[h2]How the Voting works[/h2]
Voting is simple. You have a total of three votes, each with a different weight.
Each entry can receive one of your votes max, and each weight of vote (5, 3, 1 points) can only be given once.

The winner will be determined by the total amount of points every entry got. In case of a tie, we will compare who has more 5 point votes (3 point votes if those tie as well, and 1 point votes if THOSE tie as well). Should both entries receive the same amount of votes of each weight, they will share the tied place.

A big Thank You to all participants of this Creative Showcase. We hope to see more from all of you!

Hey everyone!
We're trying a bit of a different format here. This News will serve for both the Showcase 5 voting Announcement, and we'll put in the winners in this post on Friday, as well!

As a refresher, the theme announcement:



The theme for the fifth Creative Showcase is Islands.

Whether it is a single Island in the vast nothingness that is the ocean, an archipelago or something inbetween – Show us what you can do, especially now that you have access to the new partial lakes!

There is no tile limit, or required shape, you may make your scene as small or large as you see fit! We have had a lot of good feedback about the tile limits and we might end up revisiting them for appropriate Showcase Themes.
