Raw Fury has partnered up with Oskar Stålberg to bring Townscaper to more platforms, beginning with mobile and Nintendo Switch later this year, as confirmed in a tweet posted by the Raw Fury Twitter account. The publisher had previously worked with Stålberg to release Bad North on as many platforms as possible.
Townscaper is a stress-free city building experience. It’s not concerned with managing budgets or controlling populations, but instead is a tool to build quaint little island towns with curvy streets. You can build small hamlets, soaring cathedrals, canal networks or even sky cities on stilts.
This is done instantly by simply tapping, block by block, where you want to place a building or street. You can pick colours from the palette and plop down the coloured blocks on an irregular grid. Townscaper’s underlying algorithm then does the rest of the work, automatically turning those blocks into cute houses, arches, stairways, bridges, and lush backyards depending on their configuration. It’s an easy to use tool and very engaging in how varied many of the creations can go.
This does look rather familiar: I think I'd heard about it when it was first announced for PC last year, but I'd sort of forgotten about it since then !
Anyway, I think it looks rather nice and therapeutic. It's probably not the deepest or most challenging game out there, but if I just want something relaxing, then I expect this will provide that!
