The Instant Town-Building Toy!
Townscaper is an indie casual Wide-Open Sandbox city-building game developed by Oskar Stålberg and published by Raw Fury and released on August 26, 2021. The game is a sandbox-style city builder where the player can build an entire city block by block. The player can choose blocks for buildings from a pre-determined palate of colors and the game uses A.I. to turn shapes put on the map into parts of houses, buildings, yards, arches, stairways, yards, and other features. The game in functionally more of a "toy" since there is no Space-Management element involved in play.Tropes:
- Casual Video Game: The game takes the city builder and gives it a casual spin, since all the player must do is "paint" parts of the city into place.
- Thriving Ghost Town: No matter how big your town appears, you will never see any people and the only animals you can see are seagulls.
- Wide-Open Sandbox: The game has no "goal" of any kind. The player is simply tasked with building large cities.
