- Developer Diary #016: Turban of Winds - 9 September 2026
Hello, players!The dust from our second playtest has barely settled, and we’re already returning to our series about Magical Items — mysterious artifacts Toto may discover during his journey through the Magic Land.Today, we’d like to tell you about one of the most headstrong items in our collection — the Turban of Winds.Turban of Winds 🌪️Throughout its history, the Wind Sash has changed owners many times. Mostly because it tends to disappear whenever it gets bored.The Wind Sash is like the wind itself – it loves to be free and unrestrained, and it is whimsical like a summer breeze.It can’t stand staying in one place for too long, loves traveling and new experiences, and when it gets bored — it starts causing trouble.And perhaps it’s hard to imagine a better companion for it than a little dog traveling across the entire Magic Land himself.Faster Than the Wind For Toto, the Turban of Win…

- Dev Diary #013: The Bronze Seed - 12 August 2026
Hello, players!We’re continuing our series about Magical Things — mysterious artifacts that Toto will encounter during his journey through the Magic Land.Today, we’re taking a closer look at a tiny object with the power to transform an entire mountain.The Bronze SeedNo one knows where it came from. For a long time, it was considered almost harmless: the Bronze Seed helped flowers bloom and made crops grow bigger.But everything changed when it fell into the hands of a herbalist who lived high in the mountains.In just one month, the Seed transformed the entire mountain into a Bronze Forest. Living plants became intertwined with metal, their roots drawing strength from the surrounding earth, and metal vines continued to grow, destroying everything in their path.The forest could only be stopped with the help of the Bronze Bud, which grew from the Seed. As soon as the herbalist plucked it, t…
- Dev Diary #013: Magical Items - 4 August 2026
Hello, players!In our previous developer diaries, we introduced you to the Magic Land, its inhabitants, and some of the places Toto will discover on his adventure.Toto is brave, loyal, and kind — but where do his magical abilities come from?The answer lies in the unusual discoveries he will come across along the way — the Magical Items. Each one grants Toto a unique power and unlocks new possibilities for exploration and puzzle-solving.These unusual artifacts will accompany Toto throughout his journey. Each carries a power of its own, granting him new abilities and revealing new ways to explore the Magic Land.One of these artifacts is the Star Pebble. Players who joined our playtest may already have an idea of what its magic can do. :)Long ago, a tiny shard of an enchanted star fell into the Land of Oz. Separated from the sky it once called home, it never stopped trying to return. Its p…
- Dev Diaries #012: Voices of the Swamps - 28 July 2026
Hello, players!We’re back with another look at the world of Toto’s Journey and the creatures who call the Magic Land their home.Throughout his adventure, Toto will meet many different inhabitants of the Blue Country. Some live among forests and mountains, while others prefer less busy places hidden away from the common paths.The ones we’re introducing today prefer quiet swamps, cool shade, and peaceful life. And it seems they especially enjoy sharing their thoughts with friendly dogs who happen to pass by.Meet the Sage Toads!Each Sage Toad has experienced many things in their years of life in the Magic Land and holds vast amounts of knowledge and wisdom like few in all Four Countries have. And since their fellow Toads already know most of their tales, they are always happy to share them with a new traveler.So if Toto politely asks, they’ll gladly offer a helpful hint or a bit of swampy…

- Dev Diary #011: Digging in! - 17 June 2026
Hello, players!We are back with another update on Toto's Journey! Our team is hard at work filling the game world with exciting details, and today we'd like to share more about how our brave dog interacts with his surroundings. In our previous posts, we showed you the environmental diversity of the Magic Land, from deep forests to mysterious caves. While exploring these biomes, Toto can peek into every corner and sniff out hidden secrets. However, sometimes a simple sniff isn't enough, and to find what he's looking for, Toto literally has to get his paws dirty. Often, an interesting item, a hidden passage, or a forgotten secret is concealed right under the surface. To uncover these mysteries, our four-legged adventurer has to literally dig to the truth! As we build and refine the game's levels, we are carefully placing specific spots where the earth is loose enough for Toto to dig. You'…
- Dev Diary #010: Swompy landscape - 9 June 2026
Hello, players!We continue to work on Toto's Journey - and following our tradition, we are here to share more about the world that our brave dog will explore. We are placing a strong emphasis on environmental diversity and are actively creating a variety of unique locations for Toto to explore. Each location goes through several development stages - from an initial concept to an early version, which is then polished into the final version. Below is one such concept for the swamps that Toto will have to make his way through to reach the caves. It is crucial not only to design these locations as cohesive game levels but also to connect them seamlessly - ensuring the entire game feels like a true journey through the Magic Land. Because of this, we often work on multiple areas simultaneously, planning out all the connections between them in the early stages. For now, we're sharing these con…
- Dev Diary #009: How the Toto model has changed - 29 May 2026
Hello, players!Work on the game is in full swing! Locations are taking shape, treasures are getting lost, and puzzles are becoming even trickier. Our development team is working hard to make Toto’s adventure through the magical world truly exciting! At the same time, we’re improving existing elements of the game. And of course, special attention is being given to our most important hero - Toto: We’ve already shared how much attention we devote to gameplay featuring our brave little dog. But game development is an iterative process: over time, we revisit certain elements, refine them, and make them even better. Toto is no exception. Right now, we’re improving his appearance - take a look at how his fur has changed: On top of that, we’re refining his animations: movements now feel more lively and energetic. This approach also helps eliminate technical issues at different stages of develop…
- Dev Diary #008: Whimsical Paths - 14 May 2026
Hello, players!After a short break in posts, we're back with new details. The main focus of development right now is level design, world-building, and shaping the final visual style of the Magic Land. The main biomes of the Magic Land will feature deep forests and endless meadows - the perfect setting for an energetic dog always on the move. We’re placing special emphasis on creating a strong sense of fairy-tale wonder throughout these areas. The biggest challenge in working on the forest biome is making every location memorable, despite the similar color palette. The richness of the Magic Land's forests gives us enough freedom to wow Toto with open meadows, rocky paths, and overgrown woodlands. Here are some of the latest shots from the Magic Land. Although the overall biome remains forest-oriented, we're trying to play with the locations within the same natural area. Check out this sw…

- Dev Diary #007: Going Underground - 7 April 2026
Hello, players!We’re continuing to share more about Toto’s adventures in the Magic Land. Work on the game is moving forward, and this week we’d like to give you a small behind-the-scenes look at how our locations take shape. We’ve already mentioned the variety of locations on Toto's path. Cave systems play an important role in the life of the Magic Land, so Toto will find himself underground more than once once during his journey. Below, we’re showing how a location comes together step by step - from concept art to the finished version: Just like on the surface, our four-legged adventurer will meet some of the local inhabitants in the caves, but we'll tell you about them later. As a small teaser for the next post - with no extra commentary - here's one of the concept arts: While the team is bringing the concepts to life in the game, can you guess what (and who) is shown in the concepts?…
- Meet the Artemis II Crew - 4 April 2026
Meet the team and...one more astronaut 🚀In this photo: the Artemis II crew — and Toto, of course.Christina Koch, Jeremy Hansen, Reid Wiseman, and Victor Glover are preparing for a mission that could shape the future of human space exploration.🚀 As the spacecraft travels behind the far side of the Moon, it will lose contact with Earth for 45 minutes. Victor Glover said: “I’d be delighted if the whole world — all 8 billion people — could come together and simply hope and pray that we regain signal.”🪐 The crew has been training since 2022 — almost four years. For comparison, ISS crews usually prepare for 1.5 to 2 years. The gap is huge, but so is the challenge: a new spacecraft and a mission unlike any flown in over 50 years.✨ The spacecraft also carries chips with human organ tissues to help researchers better understand the effects of deep-space radiation.🚀Artemis II is a rehearsal f…
