It’ll be finished on PC, Nintendo Switch, and mobile this summer
The town-building playthingTownscaperis coming to Nintendo Switch, iOS, and Android later this summer from Raw Fury and creatorOskar Stålberg, whose name you might recognize fromBad North.
If you missed the initial Steam Early Access chatter aboutTownscaperlast year, it’s still a work-in-progress on PC – the latest notable update made theplopsandblipssound “80 percent more professional and 120 percent more pleasant.” The final PC version will also launch in summer 2021.
This isn’t a game for people who crave direction or enjoy getting deep into the nitty-gritty management of typical city-builders, but it will be perfectly cozy for anyone who enjoys the simple act of building a scenic island town in a care-free sandbox. AsStålberg says, this is “more of a toy than a game.”
It’s cool to see a unique passion project like this do well enough on Steam to justify a Nintendo Switch version. I think it speaks to just how wide-ranging games have become in the console space.
