Hello everyone!

I would like to talk about the third island

As you know the small and medium island are not to big but are great islands to get started with the game.

The third island called “Grimtale island” is not small, infact this island will take you a very long time to walk from one side to the next. This island contains cities, villages, rivers, airports, Forrest’s and everything else you would expect to find in a real life island! This is your island to explore and survive on. This is the real Grimtale island!

I am extremely excited to show you guys this. And I know you will not be disappointed!

When can you expect this island?
In 3 weeks!

How will you travel around this island?
Use one of the many vehicles that will be around the island!

How will you survive?
Well that’s up to you!

See you soon!

Colouring Pixels is our newest creation. A relaxing colouring by numbers game for PC where you colour in pixel art.
It's perfect for if you are stressed out, just rage quit PUBG, or perhaps you just want something to do while watching netflix. Give it a try, it's free, quick to download, and easy to jump in and out of.

Yes it's free, and no adverts! We want as many people as possible to play Coloring Pixels, making the game free was a decision made with this goal in mind.

Unfortunately, we need to eat, pay bills, and buy computer games so we we need to make money somehow. With that in mind Coloring Pixels has been designed with future DLC packs in mind. We will periodically release new books of levels for a reasonable price. Stay tuned for more info when they arrive.

For those of you who don't know, "coloring" is the American spelling of the word and "colouring" is the British. It's the same word, same language, same meaning but unfortunately for us, different.

You might be asking "why has a British games company spelt their game the American way?". And so you should! We have two reasons why:

The majority of purchases for our other games have been from America and other non UK countries. For searchability and less confusion for the majority of our audience, we chose to use the American spelling.
The Logo. We wanted to include a full spectrum of colour as part of the logo. Although it might be a comparably silly reason: there are 7 colours in the rainbow, 8 letters in the word "Coloring" and 9 in the word "colouring". We chose the option that closely matched the number of colours in the rainbow.

Those of you who are lucky enough to have access to a PC touch screen may notice that we have implemented touch controls. We did this for good reason, and not just because the game is almost impossible to play with a laptop trackpad. We did this as a foundation of mobile development, as we are going to attempt to port Coloring Pixels over to mobile devices and tablets.

This is a first for the company so it will be a valuable learning experience. Mobile development is very different from what we are used to and we expect to overcome an array of challenges on our journey.

Wish us luck and keep an eye open for upcoming news about our progress.

We want to release additional free content after Coloring Pixel's launch, and we wanted to offer the community the opportunity to have an impact. For the first time, ToastieLabs are hosting a pixel art competition for anyone to take part! Winners of the competition will have their art featured in an upcoming free update.

More info can be found in a following blog post.

We want to see you at the helm of your battlestation with your First Mate —be it cat, dog, or weasel— at your side. Anything goes!

Animals have never truly disappeared from the battlefields; they just became harder to find. Be it for rescuing stranded soldiers, hunting vermin on a ship, or boosting morale, some tasks will always be better suited for the honed instincts of our furry/feathered friends.

What function did animals serve at war? Let's find out through the stories of five fascinating animals who left their marks on the history of warfare.

When hearing animals and warfare in the same sentence, it's only natural for our minds to jump directly to an image of a uniformed animal storming a trench and mauling the enemy soldiers. While it may seem over the top and unrealistic for a 20th-century setting, some animals were indeed trained for aggressive combat roles.


Chips was a young mix of German Shepherd, Collie, and Husky from upstate New York that was 'donated' to serve his country by his owner shortly after the US entered the Second World War. This type of initiative was made possible by the recent creation of the first ever K-9 unit in the US military, which intended to train the volunteered dogs for patrolling, mine detection, and message-carrying, but they were ultimately used mostly at stateside military installations. In 1943, a select number of these canines were assigned to active fronts in the Mediterranean and Pacific theatres. Chips would see action throughout Europe and North Africa, but he would earn his stripes during the Allied invasion of Italy when, after being wounded, he broke loose from his restraints and charged into an Italian machine gun emplacement, forcing the 4-man team to surrender. Later that day, Chips would also be credited with aiding in the capture of another ten Axis soldiers. For his actions and bravery, Chips would be awarded the Distinguished Service Cross, a Silver Star, and a Purple Heart.

Of course, as stated previously, most military animals would not be expected to perform in an aggressive role. At least, not against enemy soldiers...


Although the story is widely challenged nowadays for its unlikeliness, the story of Unsinkable Sam (A.K.A. Oscar, or Oskar) is perhaps one of the most lauded and repeated tales of remarkable animals at war, making it worth a mention. Oscar—as he came to be known by British sailors—was a German black-and-white cat that was serving aboard battleship Bismarck at the time of her sinking in 1941. Keeping cats aboard ships is an age-old tradition still practised today for the purpose of hunting down any rodents that would threaten to spoil food reserves or chew through electrical components. For their effectiveness at this job, cats were often cherished by the sailors, who also appreciated their companionship as pets on long sea voyages. When Bismarck finally foundered after being pummelled beyond recognition, sailors aboard destroyer HMS Cossack found the stubborn feline floating on some wreckage when combing the area for survivors and affectionately adopted him as their own ship's cat. Later that year, HMS Cossack would itself sink in a U-boat attack, and yet again Oscar survived long enough to be rescued by a nearby vessel. After the incident, the cat was taken to port and joined the crew of the Royal Navy Carrier Ark Royal to return to his rat-hunting duties. This would be the last military ship he would serve on, and it wouldn't be for very long, as in November of 1941 Ark Royal was destroyed in a torpedo attack. Luckily Oscar still had seven lives to spare and was once again found floating on a plank and rescued. His track record in surviving sinking ships earned Oscar the new name Unsinkable Sam.

Sometimes, in the heat of battle, communication between the frontline and commanders far behind becomes quite difficult. Whether the equipment fails or there's a danger of the enemy intercepting transmissions, there's always the option to use runners to establish a line of communication. However, humans are slow and make big targets.


Little Gustav came from a long, distinguished line of so-called homing pigeons. These birds have been valued throughout history for their exceptional ability to find their home roost from great distances. For this reason, they were often employed for quick messaging long before electronic communication became widespread. This was accomplished by first training the pigeons to recognize a certain outpost as their home, then transporting them to the desired location—often a dangerous border region—and released with a written message attached to their legs in times of emergency. However, this wasn't an optimal system, given that the birds could only recognize one home and could not be expected to make return trips. The use of homing pigeons is well documented in the First World War, and on occasion, they became necessary during World War II. One such case was that of Operation Overlord, on June 6, 1944: The invasion of Normandy. Allied commanders had ordered radio silence for the invasion force, so the only possibility of communication of the mission's success was through physical means. Gustav was released from the beachhead on the very day of the invasion bearing an announcement of success. He traveled over 240 km across the Channel in just five hours and is credited for bringing back the first news of the operation's success. Gustav would receive the Dickin Medal for animal gallantry later that year.

Not all animals at war would have a job that would give palpable returns. Some were just expected to be friendly.


While a cat on deck could serve in the dual role of pest controller and pet, some crews took on animals with the sole intention of keeping them as mascots to boost the morale of sailors. Naval mascots could be of any number of species, from cats and dogs to monkeys and goats. One of these pets was a British dog named Judy. This English pointer served aboard the gunboat HMS Grasshopper when it was attacked and sunk by Japanese torpedo bombers in 1941. The crew was captured and were allowed to take Judy with them to the prison camp they would spend the rest of the war in. The prisoners managed to convince their captors to register the dog as a Prisoner of War in order to keep her around. She was known to be very protective of the prisoners and would bark angrily at the camp's guards, and reportedly brought food to the malnourished POWs. For her courage and ability to maintain the Allied prisoners' morale, Judy would also be awarded the Dickin Medal in 1945.

An important part of the sailor's diet at sea was provided by meat. The best way to have fresh meat on long voyages was keeping certain animals onboard...


This story comes from an episode of the First World War, when the German Light Cruiser Dresden was forced to engage Royal Navy Cruisers Kent and Glasgow off the coast of Chile. The ship was scuttled and most of the crew captured. One of the survivors, however, was abandoned on the ship by the fleeing German sailors. The crew of the Glasgow was rather surprised when they saw the frightened pig swimming for its life and one sailor jumped in to save him. Though originally intended to be consumed as meat, the pig was adopted by the crew as a mascot. Their new porcine pet was given the name Tirpitz, after the German admiral. The sailors aboard the Glasgow even awarded Tirpitz a fake Iron Cross for being the only one to not abandon his ship. The pig served in the Royal Navy for one year before retiring at Whale Island Gunnery School near Portsmouth. Unfortunately for Tirpitz, his original intended role would come back to haunt him in 1919, when he was auctioned off for pork. Tirpitz's head is preserved today at the Imperial War Museum, London.

Do you think your pet would fare well aboard a naval vessel? What role do you think they would be best suited for?
