![]() ![]() Originally released on PC in early access, Oskar has teamed up yet again with publisher Raw Fury to fully launch Townscaper on even more platforms. Townscaper is the brainchild of Oskar Stålberg, coming off the success of his earlier work on the Viking-inspired RTS Bad North. It’s this tranquil straightforwardness that has captured the attention of tons of gamers looking to unwind, as well as those brimming with creativity that simply want a sandbox to play in. The appeal of Townscaper is as simple as the game itself – just build something beautiful! There’s no story, nothing to unlock, no levels to chase – just the soothing sound of plopping down colorful building blocks and the satisfaction of watching them effortlessly link together to create an ocean-side town. Previously available only in PC early access, now everyone can enjoy this mesmerizing and intuitive town-builder at home or on the go! Townscaper will also be available on mobile devices later this year. 27, 2021 - Surprise! In the Awesome Indies segment of IGN’s Gamescom showcase, it was revealed that Townscaper, the town-building toy from Oskar Stålberg and Raw Fury, is now officially available on Nintendo Switch and PC via Steam, GOG.com and the Epic Games Store for $5.99 (USD)/£4.79/€4.99/¥26. How about programming a fly-through of your town? It would also be super to be able to take pictures of views without the colour swatches etc on screen.MALMÖ, Sweden - Aug. How about being able to walk through the town (or boat through it)? If you went into a door, you could come out of a random door in the same building. The same goes for flat and sloping surfaces: being able to choose paving, grass, roof-tile or water, or even bedrock?įinally, while the pan and zoom functions are mostly really great (simple and intuitive), they are unstable when you get close in. While it is part of the fun of the app to see how a new roof (etc) articulates, and the domino effect on its neighbours, sometimes it would be really nice to be able to choose a pitched roof over a flat roof, a stone arch over an RSJ, a door over a window, etc., to the user’s own design. The way the app’s AI determines the form of each block (and its surroundings) is simultaneously genius and annoying. through the ‘open’ menu.Ībility to selectively erase (back to sea level and/or back to ground level, ideally) areas of a town, rather than having to delete block-by-block using long-press.įix the re-colour function (extra-long-press) which just doesn’t seem to work. I absolutely love this app, but it really needs more attention to retain users’ interest.Ībility to delete entire unwanted towns, e.g. The price tag I understand will put many people off, but for such a smooth experience and the beautiful aesthetics and colours, personally I believe it is worth every penny. Wouldn’t change a thing about it, but there’s potential to add to it, an idea perhaps to allow to build docks or marinas, and hence have boats and pedestrians, but please don’t ruin the game trying to implement new things as so many other developers have done in the past. ![]() The fact that where you can place buildings and pavement isn’t linear, really makes it so much more realistic to create your own quaint town which you’d expect to see if you were travelling through Europe. Now this game is nothing less than superb, there’s no real aim nor purpose but I wouldn’t have it any other way, it encourages your creative side. Previously I had downloaded several other games claiming to have this free range gameplay, however, was disappointed with them all. You have no idea, how long I’ve been searching for this game. ![]()
