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.

IN LOVE

This is so well done. It’s so relaxing. To people unfamiliar w Townscaper it’s not a game really but a building sim but it auto populates where you point and click. It’s hard to explain other than you have nothing to lose buying it (steal at this price imo) and if you don’t like it or get it - refund within 14 days or 2 hours. For devs: What id love to see (and be willing to pay for) is: - modding - if modding is not available then adding some of the mods as native functions - city sounds, people, nature (select which ones you want to use) - more color profiles - many more. I’ve seen some brilliantly done modded stuff w darker colours that looked ridiculously good. If we could build and save our own palettes that would be amazing - weather - the mod w heavy, light rain and snow is perfect - day/night - street view walking mod. Populating it with NPCs. This has the potential to be a top app on quest in my opinion if some of the above were added. It’s the perfect place to escape and hang out.

Oh so satisfying

To play Townscaper is to enter into an experience not unlike watching your milk slowly dissolve into your coffee, or kicking the snow out from under your tires. Townscaper is not a fun experience, but rather an oddly satisfying one. There is no end goal really, as you simply build your town up from nothing within an ocean of vast emptiness. The goal here is the journey itself, as each addition to the town brings with it a feeling of unexplainable joyous accomplishment. The only thing I would love to see is the ability to walk through the streets of your town once it's complete. I think that addition would make it all the more perfect.

Building to my hearts content

I had this sim on Xbox and quite enjoyed just wasting time chilling and popping up some amazing towns. I wish you could also place people and boats and maybe airships or balloons into the town. Would add more realism to it. The towns sadly don’t come alive after you’ve built them. It could have people animations as you build. It’s the only thing it really lacks. But still just love building the floating towns. A great waste of time! I find it really relaxing. In VR it’s even better!!! Wing able to scale up or down or spin the area around is brilliant! I drew an area in my lounge so I could walk around the model town. It has come alive all over again! I hope the developer actually adds some features to this. COME ON DO SOME ADD ONS! CHARGE MONEY IM WILLING TO OART WITH CASH FIR GOD SAKE!!!!

Great Experience but Limited

functionally this is the best version of this game. I'm coming from the pc version and the only reason i would prefer that over the vr version is that on pc you are granted a whole lot more space to build. in the vr, switch, and mobile versions, the game is more limited in that you can only build so far out and so far up. if your town has too much sprawl, you will be limited by how tall your buildings can be. if your town has a lot of tall buildings, you will be limited by how far out your town can reach. this issue is more or less non-existent in the pc version - you're offered a pretty immense amount of space with which to build out and there is no limit for how tall your buildings can be regardless of how much sprawl your town has. that being said... actually playing the game is a a much much smoother and more aesthetically pleasing experience in vr by orders of magnitude. building placement is quick and responsive and even allows for dual-placement with both controllers simultaneously, with each controller able to place it's own color of building. the added depth perception with vr allows for seamlessly placing pieces behind other pieces in a way that flat versions of this game cannot, often to their detriment. in vr, the precision with which you can build your towns is a game changer. and moving the map around is much less of a hassle. i do hope that eventually it's possible to expand the size of the map, that, or i would really enjoy a pcvr option for pc - i want to see the dense, sprawling, skyscraper laden towns ive built!
