Toukana Interactive GmbH[1] is a German indie game studio based in Berlin. The studio was founded in 2020 by four students at HTW Berlin. As of December 2025, they have published two games: Dorfromantik and Star Birds.

History

Toukana Interactive was founded in early 2020 by German and Swiss students Luca Langenberg, Sandro Heuberger, Timo Falcke, and Zwi Zausch.[2][3] They began developing their debut game, Dorfromantik, as part of a master's degree in Game Design at HTW Berlin.[2][4][5] The group met during their bachelor's studies, and were compelled to start an indie studio by their master's program at the university.[2][4][3] During this time, they made 10 different prototype games.[6] Toukana received 110,000 euros in funding from the Medienboard Berlin-Brandenburg for development of Dorfromantik.[7][8] The game was released in early access in March 2021 and in full in April 2022. Later in 2022, a board game adaptation of Dorfromantik was released by Pegasus Spiele.[4] Due to the game's high sales performance, the studio was able to pay back its debts all at one time.[9] In August 2023, the company was incorporated as a GmbH, having been a UG previously.[10] In 2024, Toukana announced a partnership with Kurzgesagt. They collaborated on a game, Star Birds, which was released in September 2025.[11][12]

Toukana is headquartered in the Lichtenberg borough of Berlin.[1][13] As of May 2022, Toukana employed 6 people.[9] The company publishes their games themselves without a publisher.[14]
