The game is really cool, but I'd only buy it if it were on sale due to the lack of content—you literally just build and destroy small houses.

Townscaper is a cute, idyllic game that with no clear end goal. There's cute environmental details that can only be discovered as you gradually build more. While I appreciate the game for what it is, it feels somewhat unfinished and underdeveloped. I wouldn't recommend the game if you're looking for an in depth experience, or if you want complete creative control. The grid for building is strange and hard to understand and work with, causing most of your builds and creations to have strange corners and jagged lines. I wouldn't call it a sandbox, nor would I say it's really about building, it's more of an experimental experience that encourages you to just relax and enjoy the "vibes." I've played for about 2 hours since I bought it, and I would definitely recommend purchasing the game when it goes on sale rather than for fully price.

"No goal. No real gameplay. Just plenty of building and plenty of beauty. That's it." The devs are extremely honest and for the price it is a really cute time-killer.

Honestly? One of the best Steam products I've gotten. Sure, it's not quite a "game" per se, rather being a toy to make cities on an ocean, but it's still pretty damn awesome. A few ideas I'd add to the game: 1. Recording a .gif or .mp4 of the town rotating/seeing the sun rise and set on the town. 2. Adding actual night so you can see the town during the nighttime, not sunset (still looks pretty) 3. Improving the .obj export to give you a model and texture that looks exactly like the game. That's all. Thanks for reading.

Amazing. Soothing and a cure for anxiety. Only suggestion is adding LIFE to the towns! Have people populate the areas! show them moving around, going places, pause, and chat, then move along, etc. let there be PEOPLE!
