Get Townscaper now!Townscaper's developer on how its 'radically casual' design is inspiring a new wave of low-stress builders to adapt the blueprintJan 18, 2024 - PC GamerTownscaper is one of those small snatches of joy I heavily associate with the Covid-19 lockdowns of 2020. The stress-free city builder was a tiny game that became a huge sensation that summer. Like other collective obsessions of that year, it inspired a trend that's only now truly coming to fruition. Although Townscaper's developer Oskar Stålberg tells me he doesn't spend time tracking gaming trends these days, he's aware of the wave of Townscaper-like projects in the works and often reshares their dev updates. He also tells me he thinks the new games in this style are getting more complex...

Unfortunately, we've discovered some new issues caused by these changes and have temporarily reverted to an older version of the game. We hope to get these issues patched soon so that we can deploy the optimization improvements once more. On behalf of the team I'd like to apologize for these issues and ask for your patience as we get things sorted as soon as we can. Thank you for your continued support for Townscaper, we really appreciate it. --- Hi there, townscapers!

The Townscaper Showcase is here to display all kinds of builds, not just the larger and more ambitious ones often found on Twitter and Steam. On TikTok, smaller builds and challenges reign supreme, and that’s something we want to highlight just the same. We would appreciate your continued respect, understanding and support for our wonderful community and their builds. 1. Follower’s Home by la_ciudad_facherita What does your house or apartment look like? Inspired by this TikTok, we would encourage you to try building your own home in Townscaper!

Happy holidays, and see you soon!Townscaper is the latest surprise addition to Xbox Game PassDec 2, 2021 - VG247Townscaper, a chill and very aesthetically-pleasing city-builder from Oskar Stalberg (whom you may know as the developer behind Bad North) is now available to play on Xbox Game Pass. Townscaper has long been something of a social media darling; if you mooch about games Twitter like me, you'll have seen it crop up often as other indie devs share little snippets of the towns and villages they've made. Buildings appear with a very satisfying 'pop' and the whole thing is more like a toybox experience than a traditional game. I urge you to give it a go if you've got the time, it's honestly a delight. "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," reads a little blurb for the game. "No goal. No real gameplay. Just plenty of building and plenty of beauty. That's it."

The browser version scales the available space down to a more manageable level than its Steam counterpart, but contains the same procedurally generated towns...

There are no high stakes, and there is nothing that needs to be done. Townscaper doesn't seek to change the world. Instead, it seeks to change a town, a town that can belong entirely to you. With Townscaper, the hours melt away, no matter when or where. After a long day, hours spent at the PC or on the couch can become hours spent unwinding, creating something uniquely beautiful. And did we mention, there are tiny, tiny birds? With the 2021 Steam Awards fast approaching, we really hope you'd consider nominating us for the Sit Back and Relax award. If you, like us, have found yourself lost, and relaxed, building your own town, we hope you can find the time to check out the Steam Awards and vote for us.Want to see your build featured on the store page?Nov 23, 2021 - Community AnnouncementsFellow Townscaper Folk, We're looking to highlight some of your finest builds in a special video for our Steam store page!

The Hollow Mountain by eadingas Stare too hard at this fascinating build and your head will certainly hurt. In this video eadingas shows off a colourful and hypnotic build that covers a spacious heart of greenery and stone. We find something new to marvel over with each watch! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37915459/891958ca4d1b84f3372c97a15e9c090ef5cd870a.png 2. Minas Tirith by 법규 Do we need to explain why this has made our list?

Football Stadium by twonscaper As mentioned in our last Townscaper showcase, we've spotted a lot of Townscaper action on TikTok, mostly a result of people giving each other inspiring challenges and criteria. Here's just one of many shared over the past few weeks; a build inspired by a football stadium. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37915459/448eaa664503eff023066dc493c8fd5494ea9e04.png 2.

We hope that some of these will inspire you to get creative with your own towns! Here are just a few of the unique towns and builds we’ve loved this month on TikTok. 1. D&D World Building by game_spice In this TikTok, game_spice describes how they’ve used Townscaper as a visual aid for their online D&D games. They utilize colour to represent each different type of building, including taverns and shops, providing an immersive visual aid to make gameplay easier and more exciting. We love this creative and practical use of Townscaper and can’t wait to see more of how the game can be used to enrich other roleplaying experiences. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37915459/b21af84c43fa35a8c757aedb54072050b8ffc05a.png 2. The Great Z by jeff._.101 A thriving Townscaper culture is growing on TikTok, and this culture loves a challenge. In the comments, viewers will make requests and set challenges for Townscaper TikTokers, one of which is a challenge to create buildings in the shape of letters. Here, jeff._.101 uses the building tools to assemble a Z with ease, showing off just one of the many things that can be done in Townscaper and shared online. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37915459/f8cd8899de307ef532760a85a3b4a1c3816ad4d1.png 3. Pansexual Pride Flag by townscapertogether One of many prominent Townscaper TikTokers is townscapertogether, a user known for their participation in creative builds and challenges. In one of their many creative TikToks, they use different colours to construct a building inspired by the colours of a Pansexual flag. It’s a delight to see the Townscaper community show off their pride in-game, and we encourage our community to follow suit by using in-game features to personalize the experience. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37915459/8fe52f29eea87066f096e054465149784752282c.png Though these are just a few of our highlights for the month, know that there are hundreds and thousands of glorious builds being shared not just on TikTok, but on Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, Reddit and right here in the Steam community!
