We are excited to officially announce our newest project! Skystead Ranch!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2399570/Skystead_Ranch/

Skystead Ranch

You may have seen development and progress on Skystead Ranch already in our Dev Vlogs and news posts on our Socials. Our most ambitious game project to date that has been in development for over a year!

Our first title with a 3D environment, cute creatures, building, farming and more! A more substantial game whilst remaining calming and relaxing at its heart.


What is Skystead Ranch?
Skystead Ranch is a casual, relaxing ranching game set in the skies! Take to your very own Skystead, a big magical floating island amongst the clouds, where mysterious and wonderous creatures known as Skylets live. Learn their ways and make a home for you all!



Transform a desolate sky island into a vibrant sanctuary. Using your enchanted crook, cultivate your garden, befriend quirky creatures, build a home, and unlock secrets along the way. Each choice adds a personal touch to your unique Skystead Ranch!


Follow Our Progress!
Skystead Ranch is still a very much work in progress. All of the imagery and game footage you see is pre-release Demo so the end result may vary.

You can follow our week-to-week progress on our YouTube channel with weekly update Vlogs.
Make sure you Wishlist the game on Steam and follow the Community Hub to stay up-to-date with every bit of important news and monthly progress reports.

Finally, follow our socials and join our Community Discord server from the buttons at the top of this website to join the conversation with the devs throughout the development.


Demos and Press Conventions
We are preparing a Steam Demo to be playable during the October Steam Next Fest, which is only 2 months away!

The full release of the game is planned for early 2025, with exact dates to be confirmed.

Skystead Ranch will be playable at EGX London from the 12th-15th October with the chance to video call us during the event!



We will also be attending MCM Comic Con London from 27th-29th October in person! Come along to meet us in person and get exclusive giveaways related to Skystead Ranch!

Another Year!
The 17th of August marks 5 years since the launch of Coloring Pixels, and 6 years of ToastieLabs! With your help we have managed to put everything in place to make Coloring Pixels bigger and better than ever, we cannot thank all of you enough for helping us get this far! <3

It has been yet another milestone year for us here at ToastieLabs! Since the last anniversary, we have managed to make a new DLC each month Coloring Pixels even though we have added a whole new game WooLoop, with monthly DLC to our portfolio! Jack has drawn 12 new books for you over the course of 2022/2023 with even more yet to come! On top of all that, we have also released two new Coloring Pixels Collections on Nintendo Switch!

Just like last year, your support has allowed us to expand once again! We have hired the mysterious Level Designer "Icy" who helps create and test content for our games. Our small team of 3 is now a not-as-small team of 4!

To celebrate yet another huge milestone: We have added a new free bonus image to Coloring Pixels, we are hosting the 5th annual pixel art competition, and all* available ToastieLabs games and DLC on Steam will be at least 20% off all week long!
DLC that is within a month of release is not included in the ToastieLabs sale*


A Huge Year For ToastieLabs
We are still a growing Games Studio as we are approaching 3 years of full-time ToastieLabs this September. We are excited about the direction of our little studio and what we have achieved in this short time with your help!

4 Huge milestones!

• New Office (since the last post) - We moved into a new, much bigger office! This place is a lot more personal to us and we have decorated it to look like a Game Studio instead of just an office with the addition of chalkboards, Televisions, and Arcade Machines!
  
• WooLoop - A whole new game that we released in January, going very strong with monthly DLC releases similar to Coloring Pixels!

Details
To celebrate the 5-year anniversary of Coloring Pixels, were hosting another competition!


Now is your chance to get your own pixel art in Coloring Pixels!


The 20 winners of this competition will have their pixel art featured in a free update to Coloring Pixels. It's very easy to enter; keep reading to find out all the information you need. When you're ready, click on the link at the bottom.


The deadline is the 13th of October 2023 at 17:00 UTC, the winners will be announced on the 20th of October 2023 via a blog post on our website, Steam announcement, Discord, and Twitter. Links to the socials can be found on our website!

Rules and Suggestions
We need to make sure that your pixel art is compatible for use in Coloring Pixels. To help improve your chances, we have come up with a few simple rules for you to follow and some suggestions to help you get started.

[h2]Rules (the dull bit):[/h2]

• You must submit an image of file type PNG. Sadly, PNG is the only image file format supported by Coloring Pixels. Other formats can easily be converted to PNG through most image editing software and online converters.
  
• The image must have a maximum dimension of 300x300 pixels. As you will have noticed, the larger images in Coloring Pixels take exponentially more time to complete. Although we know a lot of you prefer larger images, we don't want levels taking weeks to complete.
  
• Submission must have fewer than 100 different colors. The fewer colors, the better for Coloring Pixels; so try to keep to as few as possible. It isn't easy to know how many different colours there are in an image, so if you accidentally submit more than 100 colors it will be alright (we will need to pass your image through a filter). Some applications such as Aseprite let you create a color palette (which we recommend) which allows you to keep track of colors easily. If you choose an application such as paint.net we recommend sticking to the pencil tool over using paintbrush tools as they can often create numerous different shades of colors in an attempt to blend with the background.
  
• You must submit pixel art. A simple but important rule, the artwork you submit must be in the style of pixel art, resized photographs or graphical art will not be selected if no pixel art alterations have been made to the image.
  

• Size doesn't matter! As long as you keep within the 300x300 image dimension limit you won't be penalised for submitting a smaller image. We will be judging submissions based on aesthetics and not complexity. For example, submitting an image of size 10x20 will be judged equally to one of size 150x200.
  
• "Which software should I use?" We recommend using either Aseprite or Paint.net (free). Both are very powerful pieces of software that are more than capable of creating pixel art for this competition. That being said, you can use whichever software you want, as long as you can draw and produce a PNG file it should be good enough.
  
• "I've gone brain dead... I need inspiration!" - We can't choose for you, but you can draw anything. If you can't think of anything new or inspiring, try drawing something you love (film, game, pet fish, lasagne) or even something on your desk (Keys, a book, the framed ToastieLabs Poster you got from our merch store).
  
• "Can I submit multiple times?" Yes, don't hold back! Submit as many images as you like. We will judge each image anonymously and individually.
  

It's ToastieLabs' Birthday!

r/Place on Reddit

Thank you to everyone who helped out with the r/Place fun over on Reddit.

We managed to get our logo onto the piece multiple times. Thank you!

Now, as promised, we are looking at our options for adding a thank you image(s) to Coloring Pixels.
Initially, we planned to add a single, smaller, image to the game of the ToastieLabs logo on r/place as last year we had an outcry of players not enjoying the full r/place image in Coloring Pixels as it was simply too large for most players.

However, since our initial post, we have heard your voices for adding another full book.

Generally speaking, counting all comments both here in Discord and on Steam, it is close to 50/50 for and against a full book.

On another note, the addition will have to be a free DLC as the addition will require a different age rating to the base game.

A compromise we are thinking of is adding a small collection of images, say 4 or 5, either of people's favourite spots on the canvas or of the various logos we got onto the board (assuming we can get the images as clean PNGs) - let us know what you think as well as suggestions for areas of the canvas you'd potentially like to see in Coloring Pixels - Thank you all again!

r/Place on Reddit

Friday Edit:
Well done everyone and thank you for your work yesterday on r/place!

We kept our logo on the board for hours! Sadly we lost it overnight, we have come up with a new plan and a new place, we are going to try and claim a smaller logo at these new co-ordinates: https://reddit.app.link/place?cx=95&cy=246&px=23&screenmode=fullscreen

I have already moved the pin and the plans are visible in full in general - the new, smaller image is 23x10px

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Reddits r/place is back and our Reddit community is claiming a space!

Last time, we managed to get our logo shown on the final image and we thanked you all with the r/place book, we'd like to try again!

Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to get the ToastieLabs logo visible on the board!
Once every 5 minutes, you can change the colour of a pixel on this image, we need to work together to get the following image drawn!

The current plan is 42x16 pixels large, bigger than last year, so will require some teamwork. (If we achieve this, we could change and add to it as we go)
If we manage to pull it off, we will add the immediate area to Coloring Pixles as a free bonus book image! Similar to the r/Place DLC book but just 1 500x500 image in order to offer a more achievable playing experience.



We will keep an eye on this as much as possible and will communicate our efforts in the #general chat in Discord.

Good Luck Toasties!

Check out our new game: WooLoop
WooLoop comes out next Friday the 13th! Make sure you Wishlist it now to get notified as soon as the game comes out.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1878910

1 Week to go!
That's right, WooLoop is right around the corner! We are so excited about the release and hope you are too.

Officially releasing next Friday, the 13th of January - A Spooky date for sure with all the nerves we are feeling! Make sure you head over to the store page now to Wishlist the game before release to get notified as soon as you can play.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1878910/WooLoop/

WooLoop is Free so you can add it to your Steam Library at no cost. With other 100 levels to play and unwind to, you can play for hours and hours.



What's left to do?
3 main things are in progress for release.

[h3]Levels:[/h3] We still have about 1 Gallery's worth of levels to complete for next week; this may seem like a lot which is why we have hired some extra help for the next couple of months! If you are in our Discord you will have seen a "Toastie_Icy" who is our new Level Designer helping Rob make the final levels for WooLoop.

[h3]Bug Fixing and QA Testing:[/h3] Each new level needs playing to ensure there are no problems with the level before launch. As well as this, there are still a few minor bugs that are being corrected; each one needs double-checking and thorough testing.

[h3]Marketing:[/h3] As a small indie company, we have little to no marketing budget, so all marketing is done in-house. This week we went full throttle on our media outreach, contacting numerous press sites, bloggers, content creators and reviewers. This is the majority of the work done but it will need constant monitoring and input from us up to release.

Keep an eye out on your social media, YouTube and Twitch to see people with early access play our game before Friday!


The Game Release
And this is pretty much it! Very exciting times here at ToastieLabs, we are busy and working hard to make sure the game is perfect for release. Join us in Discord and watch gameplay online as we all get ready for launch day next Friday.

Wishlist now and let us know your experiences when you get to play too!

Thank you for your support and we can't wait to see you Looping that Wool!

WooLoop

If you already follow game development updates, you may have seen snippets of WooLoop in our Dev Vlogs over the past year. A project Rob started in his spare time last Christmas!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1878910

A different take on our beloved game Coloring Pixels. The same relaxing and rewarding game feel but this time in a more creatively expressive manner!


[h2]What is WooLoop?[/h2]

WooLoop is a game of creation. You build up great works of art by dragging your yarn in loops around various pins in your canvas. Slowly, one thread at a time, patterns will form, until eventually, you construct a beautifully woven masterpiece.



Wrap, weave, and wind your wool! Build works of art strand by strand, one loop at a time, in this tranquil game of craftsmanship. Draw inspiration from the large exhibition of levels available and unwind with the soothing soundtrack.


[h2]Follow Our Progress![/h2]
WooLoop is still a work in progress. Make sure you check out our Weekly Dev Vlogs on YouTube as well as Wishlisting the game on Steam to be kept up to date with all of the progress we make!

We are planning to hold weekly Developer Broadcasts here on the Steam store page every Friday around 1 pm British Time so make sure you tune in for live interaction about the game!

Milestone updates will be available here on our Website and on our Social Media.


[h2]Release Date[/h2]
We are preparing to offer a Steam Demo during the October Next Fest next month!

The full release of the game will be in early 2023, with exact dates to be confirmed


[h2]Patreon[/h2]
A message to our Patreons, as promised in your tier offers, we will be releasing early access build to our Toastie Heros a few weeks before release and a Beta Access build to our Toastie Members shortly after!

If you are not a Patreon and are interested in playing WooLoop early, take a moment to check out our Patreon tiers!

Latest Game Release
In case you haven't seen our other news, we are very excited about a new game we have released
Check out Who Shuffled My Shapes? now!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1868060

Another Year!

The 17th of August marks 4 years since the launch of Coloring Pixels! Even after all this time, the continued, lasting support and growth of this community still overwhelms us and we cannot thank all of you enough for helping us get this far! <3

It has been another milestone year for us here as ToastieLabs! Since the last anniversary, we have maintained the steady release schedule that we implemented in the previous year and we have managed to add 12 additional DLC books to Coloring Pixels! From Retro to the most recent Bakery book! That's 240 new levels, not to forget the free r/Place book which has caused a lot of you original players to return to our game!

As a result of the growth you have all permitted, we have been able to expand our small team (2 people) to be not quite as small - we now have a full-time artist who can dedicate even more time to Coloring Pixels! We have plans to continue the support for our community and aim to make another year of DLC, along with some requested feature updates from you, our community.

To celebrate this momentous milestone: We have added a new free bonus image to Coloring Pixels, we are hosting the 4th annual pixel art competition, and all* available ToastieLabs games and DLC on Steam will be 20% off all week long!
DLC that is within a month of release is not included in the ToastieLabs sale*


ToastieLabs Games Studio Growth
We are still a fledgling Games Studio as we are approaching 2 years of full-time ToastieLabs this September. We are very proud of what we have managed to achieve in this short time with your help!

4 Huge milestones!

• We have started releasing our games on Nintendo Switch, both hexceed and Coloring Pixels!
  
• We have changed from a Self-Employed studio to a Limited Company (boring I know, but an important step for us)
  
• We are moving into a new much bigger office! We hope to be there a while, so it will be nice to have somewhere to call home for the next few years!
  
• Lastly and more importantly, we have hired a 3rd member of our team! Jack, a Junior Digital Artist!
  

• Firstly we wanted to dip our toes into the world of 3D Games, although this game is very light, it was still a good practice ground to get familiar with the ins and outs of a 3D environment.
  
• Secondly, we wanted to see how well a different pricing model will be received by our community, a game with a set price instead of a Free-to-Play with DLC - we believe for a game of this scale, we should look at alternative options that what we provided.
  
• Finally, and most excitingly, we tried out the Steam Next Fest! This is a regular festival held by Valve for new titles to all be put into the spotlight with a week of free demos, developer live streams and community interaction - this was incredibly fun for us to do and something we will certainly be looking at again for future releases!
  

• Added a free new image "Birthday Cake 4" to the Bonus book.
  
• Re-Re-Re-added the Your Art button to the main menu so you can enter the competition!
  
  
  
  • Added some brief details about this year's pixel art competition.
    
  • Added links to more details and how to submit to the pixel art competition.
    
  • Made the Exit button smaller to make room for the Your Art button.
  
  
• Added a "Total Pixels Colored Counter" on the settings page. The number increases by 1 for every pixel you correctly color! Unfortunately, this is not a statistic we have been tracking since before this update so all players will start at 0.
  
• Add a new "Highlight Palette Text" accessibility setting (Default to off) - When enabled, the numbers on the palette get an extra highlight around them, to make it easier to read the numbers in dark colors.
  
• Added an additional UI element on the main menu to highlight which book is currently open.
  
• Added Linux Support, a highly requested feature!
  

• Fixed a bug where the number 1 could incorrectly appear on the pallet when you have "Remove Completed Colors" on and "Lock Completed Pixels" turned off.
  
• Updated Credits page to add our newest team member Jack.
  

Details
To celebrate the 4-year anniversary of Coloring Pixels, were hosting another competition!


Now is your chance to get your own pixel art in Coloring Pixels!


The 20 winners of this competition will have their pixel art featured in a free update to Coloring Pixels. It's very easy to enter; keep reading to find out all the information you need. When you're ready, click on the link at the bottom.


The deadline is the 14th of October 2022 at 17:00 UTC, the winners will be announced on the 21st of October 2022 via a blog post on our website, Steam announcement, Discord, and Twitter. Links to the socials can be found on our website!

Rules and Suggestions
We need to make sure that your pixel art is compatible for use in Coloring Pixels. To help improve your chances, we have come up with a few simple rules for you to follow and some suggestions to help you get started.

[h2]Rules (the dull bit):[/h2]

• You must submit an image of file type PNG. Sadly, PNG is the only image file format supported by Coloring Pixels. Other formats can easily be converted to PNG through most image editing software and online converters.
  
• The image must have a maximum dimension of 300x300 pixels. As you will have noticed, the larger images in Coloring Pixels take exponentially more time to complete. Although we know a lot of you prefer larger images, we don't want levels taking weeks to complete.
  
• Submission must have fewer than 100 different colors. The fewer colors, the better for Coloring Pixels; so try to keep to as few as possible. It isn't easy to know how many different colours there are in an image, so if you accidentally submit more than 100 colors it will be alright (we will need to pass your image through a filter). Some applications such as Aseprite let you create a color palette (which we recommend) which allows you to keep track of colors easily. If you choose an application such as paint.net we recommend sticking to the pencil tool over using paintbrush tools as they can often create numerous different shades of colors in an attempt to blend with the background.
  
• You must submit pixel art. A simple but important rule, the artwork you submit must be in the style of pixel art, resized photographs or graphical art will not be selected if no pixel art alterations have been made to the image.
  

• Size doesn't matter! As long as you keep within the 300x300 image dimension limit you won't be penalised for submitting a smaller image. We will be judging submissions based on aesthetics and not complexity. For example, submitting an image of size 10x20 will be judged equally to one of size 150x200.
  
• "Which software should I use?" We recommend using either Aseprite or Paint.net (free). Both are very powerful pieces of software that are more than capable of creating pixel art for this competition. That being said, you can use whichever software you want, as long as you can draw and produce a PNG file it should be good enough.
  
• "I've gone brain dead... I need inspiration!" - We can't choose for you, but you can draw anything. If you can't think of anything new or inspiring, try drawing something you love (film, game, pet fish, lasagne) or even something on your desk (Keys, a book, the framed ToastieLabs Poster you got from our merch store).
  
• "Can I submit multiple times?" Yes, don't hold back! Submit as many images as you like. We will judge each image anonymously and individually.
  

Years of ToastieLabs,
4 Years of Coloring Pixels,
2 Years of hexceed!
Who Shuffled My Shapes? joins the portfolio!

All of these are reasons for us to celebrate! To do so we have set up a ToastieLabs Steam Sale from now all the way to Monday the 22nd of August, 6 pm BST!
That's a whole 7 days of discounts on all of our available games on Steam!


Now is the perfect chance to pick up that DLC you always wanted or to finish your ToastieLabs collection!

Coloring Pixels on Nintendo Switch!
If you missed the news, we are very excited to share that you can play Coloring Pixels on the Nintendo Switch!

https://steamcommunity.com/games/897330/announcements/detail/3310721254087106844
Coloring Pixels: Collection 1 is available on the Nintendo eShop now!

Bringing brand new merch to our store!

We have had the merch page successfully running on our Website for over a year now and to celebrate the news about our new game, "Who Shuffled My Shapes?", we have added new Merch options for you to purchase!

New posters of the store art for hexceed, Coloring Pixels and Who Shuffled My Shapes? are available to buy now!

Don't forget you can now play Coloring Pixels on the Nintendo Switch!
https://steamcommunity.com/games/897330/announcements/detail/3310721254087106844

It's here!
We are very excited to announce that Coloring Pixels has finally come to the Nintendo Switch and is available to play right now!

A highly anticipated, and highly requested, update to the Coloring Pixels story. Originally developed for PC gaming, and then mobile - we have now brought your favourite Coloring game to the Nintendo Switch, allowing you to play much more comfortably from your living room, bedroom or anywhere you take your Switch with you!


Head over to the eShop now to purchase Collection 1 and begin Coloring those Pixels!
https://www.nintendo.co.uk/Games/Nintendo-Switch-download-software/Coloring-Pixels-Collection-1-2206944.html


What's different between the Switch and PC versions?
When creating the Switch build of Coloring Pixels, we wanted the game to be as accessible as possible to new players.

We settled on making a collection of 8 of the favourite, diverse DLCs from the PC game. This way we don't overload the players with a long list of different books whilst also keeping the cost of the game down.

The 8 books available in Collection 1 are:
Isometric, Space, Patterns, Vistas, Flowers, Farm, Marine Life and Landmarks.



Another appeal for playing on Switch is the updated control system. For the first time ever we officially have a control scheme for a controller layout! This combined with the Nintendo Switches' built-in touchscreen allows you to play Coloring Pixels like never before!


The Future of Coloring Pixels on Switch
As of right now, there is no exact plan for what we are doing next, however, as you can probably tell from the name "Collection 1" - we are certainly looking at the idea of offering multiple collections, each with its own set of books.

So if you have any suggestions or feedback, we are open to hearing them - join in on our socials and Discord server to join the ongoing conversation of the Coloring Pixels story!


Coloring Pixels: Collection 1 is available now for 6.59/$7.95 or your regional equivalent.
https://www.nintendo.co.uk/Games/Nintendo-Switch-download-software/Coloring-Pixels-Collection-1-2206944.html

New Free Bonus Book Image!

We are very excited to announce our latest project! Who Shuffled My Shapes?

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1868060

[h2]Who Shuffled My Shapes?[/h2]

For those of you who follow our Dev Blogs, you will know that this is a game we have been working on for a number of months now.

Based on our love for mind-teasing puzzle toys, we wanted to create a fun project to bring our enjoyment to the digital world - As such, "Who Shuffled My Shapes?" was born!



[h2]What is "Who Shuffled My Shapes?"(?) [/h2]

Who Shuffled My Shapes? is a mega-pack of 20 famous puzzle cubes (and other 3D shapes) for you to solve to keep your mind sharp!



Various shapes have been shuffled and your goal is to un-shuffle them back to their original layout!

Each puzzle is unique, you will have to learn each's nuances to solve them.

Sounds simple but its not. With some of the simpler puzzles offering over 43 quintillion possible configurations (thats 43,000,000,000,000,000,000), finding the single correct one will be a challenge! If you do complete a puzzle, reshuffle it and try to beat your best time!

The puzzles aren't all cubes. We have made 20 different puzzles for you to enjoy, from the classic 6 sided cuboids, 4 sided pyrmainx, all the way to 12 sided megaminx's, non-symmetrical mirror cubes and more!


[h2]Follow Our Progress![/h2]
Who Shuffled My Shapes? is still in its infancy. Make sure you check out our Weekly Dev Vlogs on YouTube as well as Wishlisting the game on Steam to be kept up to date with all of the progress we make!

Milestone updates will be available here on our Website and on our Social Media links above.

[h3]Release Date[/h3]
We are looking to offer a Steam Demo during Summer 2022, an exact date will be announced closer to release. Wishlist on Steam now so you don't miss it!

[h3]Patreon[/h3]
A message to our Patreons, as promised in your tier offers, we will be releasing an early access build to our Toastie Heros a few weeks before release and a Beta Access build to our Toastie Members shortly after!

If you are not a Patreon and are interested in playing Who Shuffled My Shapes? early, take a moment to check out our Patreon tiers!

Christmas Events!


[h3]"Why is it snowing in Coloring Pixels?"[/h3]

You may notice that no matter what image you are coloring, the background is icy blue and there is pixel snow falling down the screen!



This is our Christmas seasonal effect!
During the whole month of December, to get us all in the Christmas spirit, we play this effect!
You can choose to take part by enabling or disabling "Seasonal Effects" on the settings page.


[h3]"I've bought all 3 Advent DLC but can't play them!"[/h3]

If you are kind enough to have purchased Advent 1, 2 and/or 3 (Thank you!) you will notice that your book looks like this!



Don't worry it's not broken! The Advent Books work just like actual advent calendars! That means from the 1st of December, all the way to Christmas Eve you get a nice Christmasy treat every single day! (But in this case, it's a new picture to color instead of tasty chocolate!)

Just scroll down and find today's door, open it up and start coloring!

Advent 1 and 2 can be opened early if you are too excited to wait, just go to the settings and look for "Keep Old Advent Books Unlocked" to play them right away.

You will have to wait for Advent 3 though, no cheating on your Advent Calendars!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1826630



From both of us here at ToastieLabs,
Thank you for playing Coloring Pixels and Merry Christmas to you all!

The Advent 3 Book is here!

This Advent 3 themed book unlocks 24 additional levels for Coloring Pixels! Each image celebrates the Holiday season! Santa Claus, Christmas Candy and Reindeer!



A reminder that this book works like a real-life Advent Calendar! This means the images will not be playable until the 1st of December, at which point the images will open 1 day at a time.

Small, Daily, Christmas treats to get you excited for the big day!
