- Patch 1.01 reaches the finish line! - 22 September 2020
Hi there, Over the past few weeks some kind people of our Doodle Derby community pointed out a couple of bugs in the game. I am very happy for this feedback and did my best to fix these things as soon as I could. Please stay alert and report any issues you might find and I will check it out and fix things. So let’s just call this Doodle Derby v1.01. ːsteamhappyː What where the issues? After collecting a map you would lose all your single player progress. Unfortunately we can’t recover any progress you might have lost. The second issue was that uploading a level to mod.io would give an error. This is now fixed and you can start sharing your wildest creations. Looking forward to seeing them. How was this possible? Well, without becoming to technical, when you fix things in a game or implement some optimization, sometimes, new bugs slip in. Things we missed. So again, please stay alert and…
- We made it: Doodle Derby v1.0 is here! - 3 September 2020
Hi there, The past few weeks have been exiting and weird. Finalizing the game and getting it ready for the final release. I’ve been working on it day and night for the past three years. So this moment is something I visualized many times, a dream come true. And here we are Doodle Derby has left Early Access! Thank you! The creation of this passion project was a hell of a ride. It sure wasn’t without bumps and I had to learn a lot along the way. It was a struggle to get visibility and recognition. The support of friends, family and you has been incredible helpful and supporting. You gave me the energy to push forward in stressful times when work kept piling up. I would like to thank all the people who helped out testing the game since the very buggy beginning. Thanks for your bug reports and suggestions. This was invaluable feedback and brought the game where it is today. Thanks to all c…
- Doodle Derby Update #4: A giant leap! - 27 April 2020
Hello there! I hope everybody is doing well in these strange and scary Corona times. Although it has been quiet the past few weeks around Fromto, this doesn’t mean we have been standing still. On the contrary I would say. We have been working really hard to take the game to the next level. We feel this update is a giant leap forward. Big changes, new name. We decided that from the moment of this update ‘Fromto’ will get an entirely new name: ‘Doodle Derby’. We feel that Doodle Derby has more appeal to it and reflects the game better. More game for less money. We lowered the price of the game so all those people, currently sitting at home, can start playing the game right away without any hesitation. If you already own the game, you will get a copy for free. It will be added to your steam account. So you can give it to a friend and double the fun! Here is a summary of the new stuff: A ne…
- Early Access Update #3 is live: Autocalypse now! - 17 January 2020
Hi there! I am proud to announce the third Fromto: Toy Cars in Hell Early Access content update, the Autocalypse Update! The idea of this update is pretty straight forward, new cars and more crazy track elements! To use the new cars and elements you will have to unlock them first. I added a bunch of new keys in the multiplayer levels for you to collect! And please feel welcome to join our Discord to meet me and other players and share your experience and ideas. I really love to hear your feedback: discordapp.com/invite/fromto If you always wanted to slam a car into oblivion with a giant sledge hammer… well now you can! ːsteamhappyː Cheers, Erik https://store.steampowered.com/app/916180
- Early Access Update #2 is live: It's Snow Time! - 21 December 2019
Hi there! It is time for the big winter update. This is the second content update during early access. I really enjoyed working on it and added some crazy new stuff. I made a bunch of new single player challenges which will truly test your skills. I also created a few winter themed new track parts and special effects. Watch out for icicles! Oh and in case you didn’t notice we are currently on sale 50% off! (or this will happen any time) Now would be a good time to invite a friend to come and play Fromto: Toy Cars in Hell! Finally here is what has changed in this winter update: New content: 12 new single player challenges A new multiplayer map: “Snow time”. Unlocked and ready to go New Track parts: Ice platform with dangerous icicles, snowman, snow cloud, snowy trees During winter rain is snow and the goo canon is a snowball canon It actually snows in some levels The shop is extended wit…
- New Keyboard UI Update is live! - 6 December 2019
Hi there! Here I am with another small Fromto update. It came to my attention that many people are playing the game with the keyboard (of course). Some of you had problems with remapping keys and no wonder… There were some loose ends in the remapping system. So I decided to take the time to make this work properly. In addition, I upgraded the UI so the controls are displayed more clear in game: I am working on the new levels for the single player campaign. This takes time to do it right. I will let you know when the next batch arrives. For now, I added one extra level to play around with. Here is what has changed with this keyboard UI update: I changed the default keyboard mapping to something that works better (You can manually rebuild the previous setup, if you prefer the old one) The controls remapping system should work now properly You can now actually save your custom controls set…
- Are you ready for the Evil Level Challenge?!? - 29 November 2019

But most important I want to invite you to a little challenge! ːsteamhappyː THE CHALLENGE IS SIMPLE: Design a multiplayer level in the level editor and upload it so we can all enjoy it The theme is ‘evil’. Make it cruel, make it hard, make it evil I will pick the best -most evil- level and reward the creator with another steam key to give to a friend The last day for your submissions is Friday December the 13th (of course) Make sure you tag your creation with ‘evil challenge’ The winner will be announced here on Steam!

First off all: Thanks to all the players who jumped into the game from the very first start! It is great to read your super positive feedback. You have given me some very useful ideas and suggestions. Great! Here is what has changed with the first Early Access update: MINOR FIXES Selecting custom levels could cause a freeze when a custom map wasn’t finished. Rotation of items in level editor resets now after picking something up. Prevent some objects from spawning twice when reloading a level. No more negative points. Some sound effects volumes/ fixes. Your zoom level is now maintained for the duration of a game. Sound settings save correctly now. The right message shows when prompted for mod.io validation code. Restore the menu background when leaving the level loader. No more drawing of in game player info while paused. Unlock menu now hides the game summary. Deselect car selection bu…

- It's a Cliffhanger! - 12 November 2019
Hey hey hey! Only 2 days left till Fromto: Toy Cars in Hell will launch in Early Access! I was planning to show you guys the new level loader today in a nice screenshot. But we are still working on it. No worries, we will make it. There is almost two full days left to work on it. Or only two days left before you can play around with it! ːsteamhappyː Anyway here is a small impression of the level editor which lets you create those levels: Easier to make it then to make it! I will tell you more about the cliffhanger tomorrow. I have to get back to work! Cheers! Erik https://store.steampowered.com/app/916180
- Let's (Remote) Play Together! - 11 November 2019
Hello you all! Today I want to point out a very cool new Steam feature! Maybe you’ve already heard about it. Maybe not. It's Steam Remote Play Together! Steam has started a beta a few weeks back which allows you to play your favourite local multiplayer games online! This means you can easily connect with your Steam friends to play games as if they were sitting next to you. So this is supercool! Even cooler is that it will work with Fromto right from Early Access release. ːsteamhappyː What is the difference with the regular online multiplayer mode in Fromto? Well in this case you will be streaming your monitor to the others. In Fromto’s ‘all together’ race mode online the camera will only follow you where in local play everybody must be on screen. Play with or play your friends? But the main difference is that you would need only one copy to play with your friends. This is available sinc…
- Jumping to the next Level! - 10 November 2019
Yihaa! Four days left! I can’t wait for you to start playing my little furious baby. On the other hand I wish I had more time... Always stupid things have to happen at the last moment. ːsteamfacepalmː Anyway today was a bit hectic here balancing Fromto and family. I am mostly improving things right now performance wise (which most of you probably wouldn’t even notice). But I want people with lower specs also to be able to have a smooth play experience. I am working on it and this optimizing will be an ongoing process. Let me tell you about unlocking new multiplayer levels today. When you first start playing there will be three levels unlocked, ready to play for all of you. For the other ones you must find and collect (hidden) maps throughout the game. Here is my buddy Abbing showing off how it done: When you have any questions or just want to mingle with us and other people from the com…
- 5 Days left till the Carpocalypse begins! - 9 November 2019
Hey you! Let me start with a capital OMG! Only 5 days left till Fromto: Toy Cars in Hell will launch in Early Access! This is my first release ever so I am currently eating a broom stick to calm my nerves. To ease my pain I decided to write a little story about why I think Fromto is so cool. One of the coolest things in Fromto are traps. While trying to build a road to the finish together you must make sure you get there first. So you use traps to make it hard. But then again you need to be able to make it. Or not? Maybe the fun lies in obstructing the people who are so handy with their controllers. Beat this giant car munching gorilla! (Meanwhile you created another path the others weren’t paying attention to.) Speaking about a car munching gorilla? Oh and know what? When you play in ‘take turns’ mode (race in succession) the traps you placed won’t harm you! So remember this - as a tip…
- 6 Days left till the Carpocalypse begins! - 8 November 2019
Hi there! In 6 days Fromto: Toy Cars in Hell will launch into Early Access. It has been and still is a hell of a ride. Currently we are working night and day to implement the Mod.io tool . With this you can easily share your custom designed levels in game with your friends. So yeah! there will be a level browser to find cool maps made by the community. Oh and watch out we have tanks: ːsteamhappyː When you have any questions or just want to mingle with us and other people from the community you are very welcome to join our discord server: Hope to meet you there! Cheers, Erikson
