Overview Townscaper:

Build quaint island towns with curvy streets, small hamlets, soaring cathedrals, canal networks, or sky cities on stilts. Build the town your dreams, 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 houses 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. Read carefully what this game is before buying. For what it is, it’s just lovely. As long as you aren’t expecting anything beyond what the videos show you, then you are good. But it is very relaxing and fun and I still enjoy playing it I’ve put about 50 hours and it’s a real shame it’s been abandoned. OK, there’s been floating towns added, but that was a glitch that the dev capitalised on. All the other ideas people have come up with have been ignored, and the dev’s moved on.

Townscaper Pre-Installed:

After designing dozens of structures, the game loses its appeal, but you’re still looking at dozens of hours of enjoyment before that happens. I just wish people were walking around, or you could go for a stroll. I wish there were shops, or larger parks got playparks in them…. I wish there were boats that would sail around. I wish there were fish or dolphins… SOME life other than the birds. Ultimately, no matter what you create, it could be brutalist industrial with all the girders or a Tuscan-style mount with white houses, it will be devoid of life, which is a real shame. So, with a heavy heart I’m closing this chapter and uninstalling. I hope beyond hope the dev returns to this and adds more stuff, because otherwise, there’ll be games just like it that come out, and they’ll have roads, shops, people, and poor, lovely Townscaper will get lost as a quaint game that inspired much better games that came later.
