Lest we forget, this is also a toy that is designed to react to you, rather than give you a Minecraft-like suite of tools to play around with. Without anything like a game for you to work through, a huge raft of players will draft away.

#TOWNSCAPER ACHIEVEMENTS SERIES#
You can replicate your own town, cities from your favourite games, and you have a series of tools – including colour changes, day-night changes and more – that will help you get there.īut will you get there? It’s the huge, underlying question of Townscaper. You can’t outwit Townscaper – it knows what you’re doing.įor more creatively minded people, the kind who will spend years on the Creator mode of Minecraft, the motivation likely isn’t needed. You will have scaffolding, stilts and propellor-assisted platforms.

Instead of crashing down, the building will warp and accommodate the now-removed block. This is a game where you construct something marvellous and then highlight a section of the wall to delete with the B button. Basically, Townscaper does its damnedest to make you look good. What might have been a random sequence of button presses may end up looking like a beautifully designed and plotted city. Large buildings, when oriented in certain ways, can become churches. Create a tower out to sea and it becomes a lighthouse. Create a ring of buildings and a park flourishes within the courtyard you have created. Congratulations, you have learned about 90% of what Townscaper has to offer: with simple presses and holds of the A button, you can create vast cities. Press A again on top of these buildings, and you begin to create storeys, spires and towers. Press A on one of these platforms and you create a building, and hold A to create a sequence of buildings. Hold down A, and you start spamming out platforms and islands with a sweep of the analogue stick. Pressing A generates a square of land on your ocean.
