- Thanks for everything! - 30 November 2022
Hello fellow photography and honk enjoyers! 👋 As we are starting to round up our development on TOEM and moving our focus onto new projects, we want to address some things! Firstly, as TOEM is our first commercial title there was A LOT of new things (both exciting and exhausting) to tackle! Most of these *things* have been resolved, but we need to accept that we are still learning and move on. So in addition to this note we have put up a FAQ that hopefully will be more direct with known issues that has been reported in and how to solve them! The FAQ can be found here: www.somethingwemade.se/toem/faq Second, and most importantly, we can't express how happy and thankful we are for all of you! This community has been a pure bliss and we can't thank you enough for sticking with us throughout. TOEM couldn't have been made into what it is today without all of you, so, thank you. ❤️ Hugs and…
- Jump straight to Basto! - 27 October 2022
Patch 3.0.5 In this patch we have added an new game option to jump directly to the post game content. What does that mean? Normally, to be able to access the post-game content island Basto you have to finish the 'Experience TOEM' quest before the ticket can appear in your living room. With the new start game option you will start with 'Experience TOEM' completed, all the regions unlocked, and you'll have all the items (HikeLady, Bag, Camera, Honk, Tripod, Community Card, Album, Frames & Filters) you need for Basto. (The New Adventure menu has a scrollbar, a new option can be found at the bottom!) Due to having all of these items from the start, 'Experience TOEM' completed, and the ability to go to any region can make some sequences in the game be a bit weird, along with not being able to experience the ending sequence of the game since the quest for it already is completed. Just somethi…
