* ObviousBeta: Well, at least when one bought it.
* OurWerebeastsAreDifferent: The Werepig.
* ShoutOut: The description of the Stone Hammer reads [[WesternAnimation/SuperMarioWorld "It's a stone, Luigi, you didn't make it!"]]

''Towns'' is an indie game by Xavi Canal and Ben Palgi. It's an open-sandbox simulation with RPG elements much like VideoGame/DwarfFortress (which is cited as one of the game's inspirations). You take command of a group of settlers who are trying to put together a small settlement in the wilderness. You control them by giving orders (to cut down trees for lumber, mine for stone and metals, harvest plants and slaughter animals for food, build weapons and armor, etc.) and placing zones (indicating workshops and homes and stockpiles for goods). Once your settlement gets big enough it will attract adventurers, who will explore the local dungeon and find treasures with which to improve your town further.

Ironically, as of May 2014, the game itself has died prematurely as the developers have stated they will no longer be working on the game, despite it still being in an ObviousBeta state.
