Toby’s Island is a 2D RPG adventure involving monster-raising, town-building, and exploration with a blend of randomized and controlled story events.

An evil, sealed deep in the island's core has regained influence on the surface and it is Toby's job to end The Dark One's tyranny once and for all. To do so you will explore an island with many unique environments, meet new spirit companions, inject those spirits into eggs to fight alongside you, gather resources for building and crafting - all while facing an assortment of beneficial or dangerous (both random and planned) challenges.

The game:
features a story mode and a free play mode - and a quit button.

is directed towards 90's gamers - because I'm selfish

contains a mix of light-hearted/funny and dark themes - night time is a dark theme, right?

features many puzzles and mini-games. - most puzzles are in the retirement home biome

is stuffed full of random events, rewards, character mysteries and easter eggs.<-- If I could give you chocolate I would.

features a creature growing system where you raise monsters from eggs and evolve them. - wow how innovative!

features a multi evolution path where your fighting style can determine the direction your creature evolves. - I have no jokes for this one.

features a farming system for growing food for survival, battle buffs or quests - Almost definitely not steroids.

features a fully-animated classic side view turn-based battle system. - This is a favorite amongst call of duty fans.

features a mix of original soundtrack and music from other talented artists. - the soundtrack needed to have talent, that's where the "other artists" came in.

I am open to suggestions to include things players want as the game is still in development!

The Idea

The idea is to take many of the different genres I enjoyed as a kid and make a tasty PC game sandwich out of them, which I think is most kids dream at one point or another, except for Ted...he wanted to be a fire truck...we don't talk to Ted. I want to try and get things right that I think those genres sometimes got wrong. Of course, I will get many things wrong too, but I want to shape and evolve this game for a long time to come. Here on Toby's Island we listen and respond to feedback...mostly because it's an island and we have nothing better to do.

Wood Chuck Could Chuck

Make a beaver jealous, chop 5 logs.

You're not a fisherman, but kind of like... someone who's watched a fisherman do fisherman things.

Look at you, cracking eggs. 3 of them to be exact.

Miner's can't be choosers and you clearly love all the rocks. Mine 5 ores or rocks.

You Wouldn't Last a Month

Just 14 days, not a highly succesful video game franchise.

1000 is a lot of something, just ask Mitch. Score 1000 in the Pelcaina mini-game.

Apprentice's Apprentice

someone taught another person something that was was probably taught to them from someone else and now they taught it to you...or something.

Get a score of 100 or more in the sandboarding game for no other reason than I said so.

Some people make statues. Some people just hit rocks really hard. Hit 25 rocks really hard.

That carbon spent millions of years forming in there. Who said you could move it? Move the carbon (mine your first diamond)

They Grow Up So Fast

These eggs don't hatch themselves, so go on! Hatch your first egg!

Everything gets better with experience. Except for maybe getting knocked out in the woods and getting robbed by a pack of Marl with fake mustaches. Get Level 5.

Sometimes good luck compounds like interest. Find a rare legendary egg.

Sometimes the road needs a good pot hole, and sometimes grass has it too easy. Turn up some soil, will ya? 100 times should be good.

Noone likes floors more than an elevator and maybe you...Reach floor 25 in the mine shaft..

Things tend to get around in small towns. Hear your first Rumour

You're on an island in the middle of nowhere and some how you expect the postal workers to find your address. Recieve your first letter in the mail.
