“Build quaint island towns with curvy streets. Build small hamlets, soaring cathedrals, canal networks, or sky cities on stilts. Block by block. No goal. No real gameplay. Just plenty of building and plenty of beauty. That’s it.
“Townscaper is an experimental passion project. More of a toy than a game. Pick colors from the palette, plop down colored blocks of house on the irregular grid, and watch Townscaper’s underlying algorithm automatically turn those blocks into cute little houses, arches, stairways, bridges and lush backyards, depending on their configuration.”
I received a Steam key from the developer and although purely creative things aren’t my jam it is really easy to build something that looks beautiful. With the right imagination you can definitely put together quite a spectacular town, or you can be like me and see just how high buildings go. 🙈
I would love this to be fully fleshed out and rolled into something with more traditional gameplay, which miiiight be a possibility in the future? :)
