Once again we return the Festive Ophelia art by @96porcent.bsky.social
Due to recent changes to Twitter's terms and services regarding personal data and AI, we have deactivated the Tolar Games account on there. And as such will not have a presence on there. If for some reason there is a ToLlar Games account on Twitter, that would not be us.
Looks like a comfortable place to rest...

(Lmao yes we are starting to use tags now)
Returned to TikTok! Felt it was fitting to repost here! No more just stating we are working on DSOM. We will show behind the scenes very soon! Thank you for the support during our quiet period, but now we are back to being talkative!
Good work is being made, don't worry!
Been awhile since we last uploaded, huh? Just been focusing on gamedev work! We promise to get some BTS out to y'all soon! Also thanks for all the support while we've been busy!
We do not have anything planned for April Fools this year. The whole crew's been busy focusing on DSOM, that it wasn't possible to do any goofs this year. Though at some point WAY in the future, we'll have our own kind of The Death of Sonic The Hedgehog or POOSTALL Royale type of April Fools game :p
Oh... what's this? Something new and something change...
Yes, we have returned to TikTok! But Bluesky is remaining our main spot!
It's okay... It's just a dream.
Here's a snippet of my anti-AI rant on Discord. I truly believe that being truly creative is the spirit of humanity. And once you stoop low enough to publish something that you didn't make, made from thousands of stolen bits. All to stroke your tech dick, you've lost the plot, and a bit of your soul
Very classy. Bearing it all on live TV. Today has confirmed our pullout from America was a good choice. Downt worry, we will still publish our games for American audiences, as we believe it is wrong tp punish the citizens for the actions of the government.
We stand with you Americans, stay strong.
RIP David Lynch.
He was a lengendary creative who has cha ged everyo e's lives in some way. Even if you didnt enjoy his work, you can not deny his impact on visual media as a whole. As well as being influental to so many. RIP a legend.
Some more peaks into our BTS!!!

End of year BTS! (We will post a proper New Years post in a bit!)
The amount of #IndieGames on my wishlist that are "not available in your region" because of one small oversight is insane.

Donkey Kong Was Originally A Popeye Game Miyamoto says Nintendo's main monkey might not have existed Posted by Tom East on 25th Nov 2009 at 09:56 10 Donkey Kong is one of the most iconic games characters of all time but he may not have existed had Nintendo followed their original idea. In the latest 'Iwata Asks' interview, Shigeru Miyamoto admits that Donkey Kong was originally meant to be a Popeye game. "I sketched out a few ideas for games using Popeye," said Miyamoto. "At that point, Yokoi-san was good enough to bring these ideas to the President's attention and in the end one of the ideas received official approval. Yokoi-san thought that designers would become necessary members of development teams in order to make games in the future. And that's how Donkey Kong came about." "But originally it was going to be a Popeye game," Iwata continued. "That's right," Miyamoto responded. "But while I can't recall exactly why it was, we were unable to use Popeye in that title. It really felt like the ladder had been pulled out from under us, so to speak." "It was a really lucky break! So next we began to flesh out the idea for a game based on the concept we had come up with." Imagine a world without Donkey Kong. No Donkey Kong would mean no Jumpman. And without Jumpman we wouldn't have Mario! Tom East
jokes aside as popeye enters public domain a reminder we got mario and donkey kong because nintendo couldn't use popeye and bluto, like star wars happened because lucas was denied making a flash gordon movie
let corpos denying you recycling their stuff drive you to do better new stuff that's yours
The holidays are Among Us! Be sure and take some time to yourselves! Enjoy the festivities with those you care about! Us? We will also take care! Even if we don't wanna rest...
From the Tolar Games team. Cheers! And a wonderful holidays!
