Townscaper is an procedural generation city-building toy with an oceanic, medieval aesthetic and minimalist design. As of now, it's a bare-bones click-and-build experience with no gameplay to speak of, in early access while the developer is looking into ways to expand the game - but the foundation is already very strong as a nifty little digital doodling tool.

Hey everyone, I'm sorry about the Discord notifications around 3-4 minutes into the video. I forgot to turn on Streamer Mode and this is what happened. I didn't expect anyone but a few of my subscribers to see this video, turns out I've been trolling thousands of people by accident. While you're alt tabbing away though, give Oskar Stålberg (@OskSta) a follow on Twitter - he reposts really cool community creations in Townscaper: twitter.com/OskSta

I don't know about that. I imagine it's more convenient to control the camera and the tile placement using the mouse rather than awkwardly pinching and tapping on a small phone screen. There's also the added benefit that on the computer, it highlights the tile you hover on, so you always know which tile you're going to click on.

Two things I would add to this game. -Maybe a button to toggle the "sea" into other kinds of flat landscapes like a grassy plain, sand or a snowy field. -This might be completely off the theme and more expensive, but maybe a "sci-fi" mode, with industrial/spaceshipy blocks. Maybe an outer space background so you can build space stations that float on space instead of the sea. Then I'm done, I would use it for all my Tabletop RPGs and Worldbuilding.

It would be so amazing if they added different "texture packs" to the game to create more like early medieval villages, modern towns or even science fiction cities. And of course, if they expanded the map area to enable even bigger cities, I'd love that. This is really (like many others already said) a great tool for games like DnD.

It'd be really cool to make a village in an oriental style, or viking , or arabic... - Way to export the city as a 3d model for other platforms, like Unity! This could become a legitimate tool to create cities for other games! - Way to see a map of the city: A top view of the city rendered in a way that looks like a map!

So the creator is a Swedish guy from the south of Sweden, which answered a lot to me because I see a lot of Swedish/Scandinavian style within the art of the game. It truly looks like the town of my mother-in-law, which is a coastal city in the south of Sweden. It's like that beautifully mixed with the style of Ghibli!

This is amazing, as an indie developer I would pay like $250 if this was more developed piece of development software if it had a few features: -Allow import or to change textures/meshes of the buildings that generate so you can customize the buildings. -Change the bottom grid to allow different layouts of maps -Export options -Optionally if had allowed the shader to change Like if he sold a base version that everyone could play with and then an expensive development version where you get get really detailed and use it for games. This has the potential to really change level design development.

The "only" features I'd see needed for putting a bow on it would be: - some starting settings to control the "chaos" of the wavy grid to some small measure - additional building themes like medieval or desertic (I'd honestly be willing to pay for more themes as DLC) - choice for a couple landlocked settings (like a desert or a plateau sorrounded by trees) and perhaps a mix with the grid overlapping on a shore - - - - - - - - - Some other advanced tools I would like to see but in no way would make me say the game is incomplete without: - live grid manipulation with the city built atop it twisting and turning as you shift the terrain - the ability to "freeze" a square from getting modified by what's built on the adjacent squares, once unfrozen the square will update the next time an adjacent square changes.
