![]() Now that it's out for real, I don't doubt it'll keep popping back in for a quick vacation for many months to come. It's an extremely simple wee thing, and if you're looking for anything resembling a challenge, you'll probably find yourself clocking out in seconds.īut met on its own terms, diving in when you've a few spare minutes to lay down a new neighbourhood, Townscaper is an absolutely joyous little time waster that's kept me busy since it first hit early access last year (opens in new tab). After being in early access for a while, the toy-like town-builder Townscaper gathered a lot of attention, earning itself a firm spot on my radar. A recent update even lets you export your town as a 3D model (opens in new tab) for printing, prototyping or whatever else you fancy. Townscaper serves up a gorgeous, illustrative art style, serene sound design, and a simple concept that's sure to put you at ease. With high-res screenshot options, texture toggles and the ability to move the sun itself, Townscaper makes for a shockingly good desktop wallpaper generator. ![]() Sure, you can awkwardly finagle the camera to a street-level view, but I long for an update that'll let me stroll the boardwalks myself. It's just a shame you can't zoom right down to a first-person view. Townscaper may not have the complexity of a Cities: Skylines, but its quaint towns littered with cobbled streets and old churches, dockyards and lighthouses feel more instantly homely than the sterile American-styled metropolises of "real" city-builders-even when your town includes impossibly tall citadels or Bioshock Infinite-style floating cities.
