Some players are bound to wish for more - more variety of structures, or more control over just how they can place each tile.
But with just a little bit of experimenting and practice, kids can start building wonderfully fantastical towns that sprawl across the ocean, reach high into the sky, and connect in all sorts of fun, seemingly physics-defying ways. Your first sea villages are bound to be a little muddled and bizarre, like something out of a Studio Ghibli fever dream. It's the sort of thing kids of almost any age can get into and have fun with, simply mousing about and clicking randomly to see what happens. Its sole purpose is to provide players a remarkably simple and intuitive platform for building island towns. Townscaper makes no attempt to hide the fact that it's not really a game, but rather a means to exercise our imagination. It's hard not to get sucked into the freeform fun of this little virtual toy for at least a little while. When you've finished building the ocean village of your dreams, you can take a screenshot to share with friends. It's just an exceptionally accessible virtual world building toy. The settings menu lets you adjust a handful of parameters, such as where the sun is in the sky, which season it is, and whether you'd like to see a grid overlay while building. You can change the hues of the houses you add by clicking on the color palette on the side, and you can zoom and move the camera in three dimensions to get a better view of what you're making. Players just keep adding (or subtracting, by right clicking) tiles to their little island town until it's as wide and tall, intricate or Spartan, organized or chaotic as they like. There are no characters or plotlines, and you're provided no objectives. Try creating a few houses side by side and they'll join to form a larger house. If you move the cursor on top of an existing bridge tile, you'll build a little house above it. Move the cursor beside the first, click again, and you'll create another. But if you move the cursor and click, you'll create a little bridge tile on the water. Upon startup, you'll find yourself looking at an empty space. TOWNSCAPER is less of a game and more of a world design tool made so simple that even young kids can use it.
