"So, what did we learn today? I don't know, but I had fun building this." I love this energy.

The lines of cloth between the buildings are the urban fabric.

I feel like a favela would 100% work with this game's engine. Now we just have to be able to build vertically....

Leave it to a Dutchman to put all the emphasis on the canals ;)

Take a shot every time silv says “urban fabric” Lol see you guys in hospital😗✌️

This game is like a virtual stress ball. I can have a shit day and have way too much on my mind but just clicking random shit in this game for ten minutes soothes all that.

Townscaper's city design logic is really weird. And yet the results look far more natural than most city building systems. I guess it's because the grid is so... irregular. And while that's not quite how things work in the real world, real cities, especially older ones are built with topology in mind, and thus tend to also have irregularities. Even cities built on regular shapes like grids or circles tend to never be quite perfect and have weird irregularities. Contrast this to your average city building game (like say sim city or cities: skylines) which in many cases is built on a rectangular grid underneath. Even where there are things like hills and the like, the actual layout is constrained by the grid, and in many cases the construction doesn't account for terrain so much as it subtly modifies the underlying terrain. Townscaper doesn't have terrain, but it has an irregular grid and the buildings placed on that grid obey the implications of the shapes the grid has at any given location... Thus, while it's also not a realistic outcome, the shapes somehow end up looking more... Natural? More convincing somehow. Clearly not a real city, yet somehow more evocative of the quirks of a place that actually had to be built and is actually lived in... It's weird... And clever. XD

The last time I was this early was at the beginning of Jägerhorn

I can't get over how similar the tiles are to skin cells - this is like watching an organ, tissue, a life form, growing in real time!

Words of today: 'Urban fabric'

When you get a chance, go to Venice; it's such a beautiful city. Stay away from the tourist areas and explore the back streets. If the game allowed a slightly bigger map, you could have fit in the Arsenale in the south. Also it would be good to see the Ponte Rialto. But you definitely captured the spirit of the architecture of the city.

Holy shit man, your voice is so soothing that my depression just slipped away!

Next Amsterdam!!!

Well done Silvarret! I loved your first Townscaper video and bought it shortly after. I’ve made a couple of villages in it but mostly large palaces (a bit more of a challenge but worth it). Can’t wait to see what you do next!

This game is satisfying, and your voice is super calm, so it’s just a good vibe. Nice job!

I'm glad to see you do another video of this game because I absolutely loved the last one!

Thank you for showcasing the garden paths at the start of the video! I was wondering how people had created them in other videos. Also! This whole video is a perfect helper for visualizing Venice in a more high fantasy sort of way; the D&D campaign that I'm currently working on is primarily set in a Venice-based city.

I swear you opening up a game like this, you make it look so magical.

Loved this! Venice is such a beautiful city, hope you get to actually visit there someday! Even the failed attempt looked good too-- I think as you mentioned, you just needed to make some of the buildings a bit bigger, but otherwise I'd call that one a good attempt too :)

awesome design idea

My dream come true, thank you for this!

The effort you put for St Mark's Square is remarkable, yet very far :) as a Venetian (at heart at least, I left my hometown 5 years ago), after this video, I got the game (finally available for Mac too) and I am going to challenge you soon :P

I mean, I'm 2 Years late, But This pretty Much looks like a Studio-Ghibli Venice, If That Existed, And i just really Loved this Build!

ya i googled the game out of curiosity cause i thought it’d be helpful to do a rough design of one of my comics towns but i’m so glad i found ur channel !! i like what you’ve done in this game but your regular content is so exciting as well

when i first saw this game the first thing i thought of was recreating venice, now it's been done. nice

finally youtube recommended gives me the first place of seeing this video. n i c e

This game doesnt have a way of "Looking Bad", Thats just not a thing here xD Great Video! :)

really get what you mean with the size change though that is an insane difference with the smaller houses

8:56 OMG YOU REALLY SAID THE PERFECT PRONUNCIATION LIKE ONLY AN ITALIAN COULD SAY -an italian

The bell tower of San Marco actually collapsed in 1902 and it has been rebuilt

It’s good to see the devs updating the game

Great video. :) I'm glad your previous one was picked up. It was also great. I really enjoyed this one, too.

i found this game with your video. THANK YOU

You made me buy this game

hope the developer adds more dogs, cats birds, city persons in this game...its just too good

This game is so relaxing xD can't stop watching these Videos ❤

Great! Great Video and i like your contructions!!

So cool to see a new video from you! Dankjewell!

I've been there once and I would really have liked you to add the Rialto Bridge and the Ponte dei Sospiri. But is a great vid anyway, so relaxing

neat, I was hoping for another video on the game :3

Splendid! Greetings from Italy

I am very much enjoying this game. It's like the game version of Stewart Brand's "How Buildings Learn."

I bought the game because of you.

It's pretty good. I'm staring at satellite image of venice, and I'd say a major flaw is that while most of Venice is very consistent with it's red roofs, some of the landmark buildings you've included stand out from above due to their white roofs, and it makes the landmark all the more dramatic for the contrast it has with the buildings around it. The palace next to the basilica in particular stands out very strongly in a satellite image... I guess that might be a limitation of townscaper though, since the roof colour variations seem to be quite limited...

love it so much

I would enjoy seeing some update videos of this game if you feel like making them :)

I wish this game would get updated it’s so cool would love them to add citizens and lots of other things to build

we have urban fabric with a dash of urban fabric. And, of course, the defining ingredient: urban fabric

I’ve been to Venice my self, it’s a beautiful city!

I've had lots of fun with it

The game looks good

I've only been to Venice in Google Street View but, it's better than nothing, and I got really excited to accidentally discover you can jump into and direct a gondola!

I wish townscaper had a dome option that you could invoke more easily

Nice video, the build is really beautiful! Not related to the vid, but i think you should make some playlists for your videos, would help a bit

Nice

As venician and considering the game's limitations, you made a great work! I like the decision to build different important places from different districts (sestieri) as Salute for Dorsoduro and Frari for Cannaregio. You may improve your Venice by give it a more "fishy" shape (We say that Venice is a fish, hahaha), and adding other points of interest like the Biennale's Giardini in Castello district (that will may be cool to do with this new path-maker).... ....or having fun and make great contents like today! Hahaha, I'm just waiting for your next video! Bye!

Nice! You forgot the bridges though. You should try Burano, the colors of the buildings are similar than the ones in the game and it's a smaller island. You should also try Dubrovnik.

You are very good,now you just have to come here in Italy to visit your city... I mean Venice.

Thanks!

Would love some different kinds of buildings and some parks and things.

i dearly miss the rialto bridge! please try to add it? in every other respect: superb work. i've made the 2 day tourist trip to venice once and i think what you did to it comes VERY close to reality. the only difference is that your venice is much more beautiful than the real one (but please add rialto!) ;-P

I really hope they add human and some a.i the react to the environment we made, It will be interesting and awesome

You should build Amsterdam!

Do you plan to ever return to Fantasy Valley in PlanCo? Really loved the series

take a shot for every time this man says, "urban fabric".

I love this game! Could you bring more videos of it?

Very nicely done! I'd love to see how you would model Ramsay Garden in Edinburgh. (Wikipedia has lots of interesting details on it)

Every western nation (western in this context includes all Mediterranean cultures such as Egypt) since the Bronze Age collapse has undergone a cycle of 250 year rise and fall due to an effect called something like an age of decadence. The Chinese call it the mandate of heaven and they suffer from this too. Every empire that is not externally crushed by 250 years or so falls apart into revolution and often fades away as a result. What is left is unrecognizable. The only two exceptions to this pattern, to my knowledge, are Egypt (not important right now) and Venice. Venice was founded in the 900s and continued relatively smoothly all the way up to Napoleon's invasion in the 1800s. 900 years straight of stable independence. Go Venice!

This game is beautiful just like what you built My opinion for the game: I can immagine with more styles, bioms and stuff... y'know it's a city builder, but it's very amazing anyway :-)

it'd be cool if you tried building Amsterdam or Copenhagen in Townscaper

would it be possible to see more of this game? also some updates video?

So I'm trying to make a pirate ride and I'm trying to make like a wooden scaffolding with ropes and stuff hanging off it. How do I do that?

back to say as a new fan from the townscaper wave (but an upgraded fan after a day of watching) i'd like to personally request u do more video challenges like ur wooden plank and roller coaster track video....it doesn't even have to be a new challenge i'd watch 300 versions of each tbh....i mean u could also easily youtube this request and do this challenge with basic blocks of upcoming / popular games nd get those good good clicks ppl never get tired of that...you see what I just did there ??? i had a request but I lacked the financial stability to support u on patreon so instead I made my request pay for itself.... you have so many series and reoccurring videos I love them you're a smart man you're bringing in those youtube clicks I respect that but I would very much love if you considered strategically catering to my specific tastes (that undoubtedly represent the masses) (the ones yet to subscribe to you) (until) (?) anyway I think you can easily recreate the success you got in the townscaper video in this way. you could also obviously recreate that success by just making other videos like that. U know. intro videos. But that's not very fun and has less viral possibilities. my second request is for you to add pans to your cinematic shots.....perhaps even a gentle plea.......you're too talented to not bring ur videos to the next level it's so easy... u know u just.....barely zoom in there....you lose almost no quality at all, right....you zoom in just a little......and u move that frame......from one side............go to the end of the clip..,......move it ever so slightly to the right.......or left....up or down.......you clearly know how to edit you know this can go all ways..........and just like that..... you don't even have to do individual pans for each shot you don't have to get fancy this isn't sunfest shit you can copy the same pan on every goddamn clip but that will look So Much Better Than It Being Static........... I'm begging you..... Listen to me.....I'm an ~award-winning filmmaker~......and u know why I've won awards???? Because people love a good pan....a good tracking shot will make anyone go "well this is a higher quality video than I otherwise assumed" and you know I'm not lying about being an award-winning filmmaker because the only prize of being a good filmmaker is obnoxiously mentioning it (and a certificate*) *if you print it** (**and 75% of the time if you design it) i like your videos a lot. there is no way I can compliment them in a way that would matter to you-- i don't have the language necessary to notice similarities in your building styles / influences nd stuff like that YET but I really appreciate hearing how you approach things. i don't get it but I'm soaking it up. OBVIOUSLY, i loved rollercoaster games growing up and now but the way u work rlly reminds me of working in maya and it's super inspiring !! an old partner of mine actually bought planet coaster 4 me after I watched the LGR review of it so long ago....i was too overwhelmed my first time playing and haven't tried since, but I think I'm going to dive back in after watching so many of ur vids !! tho I'm a little nervous. i know when I was first learning maya i would just go for constant 10+ hour sessions cause it was tooooo fun LOL i think the reason i like your wooden plank and coaster track video so much are because that honestly seems like the most straightforward way to approach building in the game. It's not realistic. but i know if i was going to recreate something i'd have much more success sticking to using that kind of method this isn't about this video but that doesn't really matter because it's the internet and we're here for fun. i'd apologize for the length but it's oh well. why enjoy things casually? i'd put this in your channel comments but youtube doesn't notify ppl abt those and it's impossible to navigate to these days so.

What have we learned today? As I said last time, if you look seriously for your niche, you will find it. Stay healthy over there in Brussels... !

Venezia on townscaper

wow

How big can you make the city?

Can u edit the controls in the config?! My mousewheel is broken so zooming in is super annoying for me
