TOEM – Ver. ???

  • Release date: TBA
  • Patch notes:
Updated
  • Option to jump to post-game content when starting a new adventure
    • 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 newstart game option you will start with ‘Experience TOEM’ completed, all the regions unlocked, and you’ll have all the items (Hike Lady, Bag, Camera, Honk, Tripod, Community Card, Album, Frames & Filters) you need for Basto.
    • 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 something to keep in mind if you’re choosing to use this option when starting a new save!
Fixed
  • Nana now accepts a blurry TOEM picture
  • Sight Photos are never counted as blurry

TOEM – Ver. 3.0 (Basto Update)

  • Release date: October 13th 2022 (North America, Europe) / October 14th 2022 (Japan)
  • Patch notes:
  • 1-2 hours of new content
    • As any other region, there is more things to explore and photograph! And for most players this new region will take about 1-2 hours to 100%, so it should give you plenty of more TOEM to experience! The island of Basto has its own special behavior, which you need to find out on your own!
  • A New Camera Attachment
    • With the new water popper you can interact with the world of TOEM in a whole new way, splash your way into stamps and new adventures! It’s also kinda funny looking! Inside your camera, a new button will appear once you get the water popper, giving you the option to swap between launching water balloons and honking.
  • 6 Music Tracks
    • Jamal Green & Launchable Socks have knocked out some more bangers for TOEM! They’re so amazing at what they do, and we couldn’t be happier about having their music in TOEM! More music for your experience at Basto! As always you’ll get the cassettes when unlocking new tracks so you can make your own playlist while playing!
  • 20 Compendium Critters
    • Looking for funny, cute, and interesting critters is a favorite of many, that’s why we added as many new compendium entries as we could! Some of the new critters are not in plain sight and will take some time figuring out how to find!
  • 20 More Quests
    • Ideas that we didn’t have time to do in the base game as well as new ones, all found their way to Basto! And we hope you will have a fun time checking out what we’ve been up to! Sometimes all you need is some ice cream!
  • Collect 11 new achievements!
  • Bug fixes
    • New bugs have been made, then resolved, causing old ones to appear, that we then fixed! We think!

  • Patch notes:
Frames & Filters

You now have plenty of frames and filter to play around with when taking photos! Just visit the Photo Guild in Stanhamn and talk to the new member for your freeupgrade! We’re super excited to see what kind of crazy photos you can take!

Re-stamping

Finishing a quest and getting a stamp sure feels great, and now you can re-stamp your card as many times as you want! Say goodbye to unsymmetrical stamp placements!

In the community card there is now a new button in the top left, pressing it will lift your stamps of the card and allows you to place them again.

Liking/Favoriting Pictures

 

Make your favorite picture stand out even more with the new and lovely shiny foil effect added to pictures you like! Select your pictures in the album, press the like button and watch that shine!

Photo Quest Information
 
Trying to remember what kind of photo a NPC wanted can sometimes be hard and that’s why this one is such a welcomed addition!

A box with the relevant quest information can be opened & closed when asked to hand in a photo quest. No more need to exit the dialogue and open the community card just to refresh your memory. All compact and nice now!

Improved Compendium Detection
 
Taking a photo of certain compendium critters was sometimes a bit too hard, getting the perfect angle or framing is now easier!

In the old method, the camera only detected a compendium when the center of the screen was inside the indicator box. But now it checks if the circle is touching any part of the indicator box!

 

New languages

 
Feeling comfortable when playing TOEM is important to us and we hope that more people will feel at home playing in their

native languages. With that said, we have added these additional languages:
  • Brazilian Portuguese [pt-BR]
  • Korean [ko]
  • Traditional Chinese [zh-TW]
  • Swedish [sv]
Save File Size Improvements
 

Saving a photo takes up quite a lot of memory and was a main reason why we had a limit to the amount of photos you could take. But with this updated comes something that is super cool! We managed to reduce the file sizes by over a whooping 1000%. This is not a joke!

As noted at the top, when starting the first time all your existing photos will be updated and it might take a moment to process up to 128 photos!

Miscellaneous additions
 
Doubled Album Capacity. With the changes to the save size we have now doubled the amount of photos you can take to
256 photos!

Additional Options

Along with the new languages you can also find several new settings to tweak your experience, as well as more details about certain options.

  • Auto save delay
  • Music trigger delay
  • Confined mouse
  • Camera sensitivity

Bug fixes

 
We’ve also been working hard on fixing bugs, like, at least 4. Just take our word for it.
