- MASSIVE PATCH - Tobys Island 3.0 - 13 July 2025
Welcome to 3.0! The Village Patch: What follows is the single largest patch I've released outside of maybe the resolution patch, but that patch didn't really add real gameplay, it was just a lot of work for me. This patch adds actual playable content and features and I'm extremely excited to launch it. I've done lots of testing but because its so large, I always appreciate people reporting bugs and funny busniess. Town Upgrades: In my opinion, the single most important upgrade of the whole patch is the new town upgrade system. I'm not trying to create extra work for myself but the old town upgrade system didnt age well with the resolution patch. It was designed for a 640 x 480 resolution window and not only that, because it was designed for such a small screen, it meant some info features and quality of life systems were intentionally left out for the sake of saving ui space. I introduc…

- Still Working! Incoming New Zone - 17 June 2020
I just wanted to let everyone know that development is still going on! I know it's been a while since the game has gotten a big update, I've been working a lot of hours at my job due to Covid, but I've managed to reduce those hours pretty significantly now and we should be seeing a nice burst in development time. The fall Zone will be a nice break from the action. It's going to be a pretty relaxing area, where you meet some new characters and rest. By this point you've fought some bosses, solved puzzles, and been drowned in game features to learn. Now its time to sit back, relax maybe try some fishing. You will also get a chance to dive into some lore about your past. I believe a good game gives you hills and valleys in terms of action and pacing, and I'd like to treat this area as a valley. Calm music and story telling. Those are my objectives in terms of art and music direction, story…
- Patch 1.81 - 2 May 2020
This is a small patch that does NOT add new content but addresses issues with existing content. Please note that I goofed during the encryption and upload of this update and forgot to add the new version number to the title screen, so 1.81 is NOT reflected on launch. It also lays the ground work for steam controller support, since I had to upload back end files in order to do in steam testing and implementation for steam controller support, so while it is not live for users, it is on the way. The Patch notes are as follows. -A major issue was addressed, where it was not possible to enter a building in the swamp that starts a huge chain of events. This blocked off a lot of the swamp content that was supposed to become available. It's fixed now, so if you couldnt figure out what to do in the swamp to progress, this is probably why. -experimenting with an auto save/auto load set up for ret…
- Early Access Patch 1.8 - 17 April 2020
This patch features a complete rework of the swamp area and introduces 2 major plotlines and 1 flavor story that is context dependant on which spirit is in your party. You can expect new enemies including a pretty difficult boss encounter. As well as the introduction of a new fast travel item. Some other small changes have been added. -added autosave feature -added treasure chests in various places -fixed issue with exit/entrance to beach cave - both with the transfer event and the rocks that block it. -replaced placeholder graphic for reward chest for water story puzzle -introduced new fast travel item -added multiple new enemy types -did a big overhaul of what plants can spawn in the forest in order to streamline usefulness. -added a graphical indicator to items that cannot be used in battle -made it so low level potions heal for flat amounts instead of percentages, making them better…
- Patch 1.7 notes - 2/19/2020 - 19 February 2020
This update took me a long time to deliver but it offers a ton of improvements. First off - after many requests, I introduced WASD movement for those who don't like the arrow keys. If you are loading a saved game you will have to reset your controls to default and re customize. This way WASD doesn't compete with any of your control schemes. You can now use a mouse to walk around, open the menu and engage with said menu. You will still need the keyboard though. I will expand on mouse support in the future! I heavily reworked the start of the game to include a new fight that happens really early - it gives you your first creature, introduces a new main character and gets the game rolling much sooner. For those of you who are loading saved games - you won't feel much of a difference - of course you still benefit from all of the control upgrades. There are also several other bug fixes and Q…
- ALMOST done. - 8 February 2020
Patch 1.7 is almost ready. My goal was to finish by Friday the 7th but that just simply didn't happen. Doing animation has been a nice break from the tedium of bug fixing and back end work though and I'm excited to get back to regular development. Give me just a few more days and it will be ready, as well as some fixes to things people have noticed while I've been working. Then we will be back to frequent patches and new content like before. https://i.imgur.com/w5zP5eD.gif https://i.imgur.com/1WuyS9e.gif https://i.imgur.com/HW3mDs5.gif it's been a dream of mine to have animated cutscenes in the game and I'm hoping this one turns out well. I'll be waiting until the game is finished to add more as this has taken too much time. For more frequent updates and fun content check out the updates I post for my kickstarter backers: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/tobysisland/tobys-island-the…
- Patch 1.7 Announcement. - 31 January 2020
I've been working hard on some fully animated scenes that introduce the character Harbos. This patch will also re organize the starting events of the game to get you your first creature faster than before...much sooner. As well as some quality of life and bug fixes. This patch has taken a long time because making this change has ripple effects on the rest of the game. dialogue has to change all over the place - some events have to be removed and others added. So small patches are not possible right now because the start of the game is in shambles. I'm wrapping it all up though and hoping to have it done by Friday the 7th. (that is the goal). Patch 1.7 will be quickly followed by 1.8 You should only have to wait a few days for 1.8 which will open up some new areas to explore and add new enemies to fight. I'm excited to share it with you! Sorry for the wait and thank you for the understan…
