Attention, Commanders! Our Satellite Uplink has detected a number of well-stocked resource deposits across every region this weekend. It’s time to increase your resource harvesting efforts & claim these precious nodes!

Resource locations of levels 7 through 10 will be available until 1 PM (UTC) on Monday, 28th November!

This weekend, we're also running a Gain Resources Sustained Challenge, where players can compete to gain Titan Tanks as a special challenge reward.

Important changes are made to the game. A tutorial has been added and the ghost calling systems have been improved. In the game it is estimated that there will be around 23 ghost activity events and choices related to them. Your choices affect the ending and the behavior of the spirit. You will also be able to open the guide. Unfortunately, it takes a lot more time to prepare the game, because I have the impression that the game is too short. Still some events are under construction and the saving system is not complete. Either way, I hope the game can be released in the first quarter of 2023. See you soon!

Greetings Togges Trainees,

We are back with a new exciting topic to discuss in today's dev diary! We will take a trip back in time and read about our inspiration behind Togges and how the idea was born from something completely different to what you will see when experience the full game at the release on December 7th!

Like the game itself, that's a crazy story. Initially, Togges was kind of Bomberman-ish, where instead of removing blocks, you (the player) add the blocks. But we were focusing on the single-player aspect because that's what I most love about this franchise.



Since we were doing a single-player game, and because of our past experiences with 3D art and design, we were trying to create immersive, atmospheric worlds, with cartoonish stylish visuals, like something along the line of Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze. But one thing that we realized really early on while prototyping is that it's not exactly adding blocks that makes it fun to play, it's where you place the blocks.

The idea naturally grew with this simple approach, and the initial inspiration was left behind (Sorry Bomberman fans!). But instead, we noticed that it was a very simple and addictive gameplay loop, at the same time very unique and weird, so the Katamari inspiration was inevitable. In the early stages of development, we even had a similar game mechanic like in Katamari: Increasing the size as you play the game. In the end, we adapted this idea to the green Togge:


Some people compare it to the Pikmin series as well. While it was not intentional, I can see why. In Togges, there are multiple Togges colors, and each one has a different ability that expands the game's main mechanic, like in Pikmin. The colors were added to the game to create emergent gameplay, where the player can overcome the challenge of how they feel right. This idea came from playtesting, where people were trying to break the game, so we completely embraced it instead of removing the possibility!

Of course, it was not a straight line. Since we started Regular Studio, our goal has been to make something unique. While we achieved our goal, it wasn't without a lot of trouble trying to figure out how to make this idea work.

The game is seen as a puzzle platformer, but it was not created with this in mind. The design approach with Togges was exploring the idea of adding blocks, no matter what it is. So, we created a concept and asked ourselves: "How would those little blocks react to this situation?" - For example, how do those little blocks behave in a big city? What kind of activities would you expect to see with this concept? And so we created the levels, themes, stories, mechanics and level design with this approach.

It was a really fun ride; I can assure you this! We pushed our creativity to the limit, and we are really proud of the crazy things we managed to create with a single game mechanic that doesn't change throughout the whole game.

Writing about the inspiration behind Togges brings back so many memories and makes us really emotional about our progress over the years. And we even have so much more to share with you! In the next Dev Diary, we will look closer at the infamous King President and Togges!

Thanks so much for your time, friends! ːsteamhappyː
