Belle Citique

A simple game where you can very quickly layout a scene with villages, castles, interesting terrain and landscaping. The tutorial and levels are nice and the sandbox has a lot of features, I really like that you can change the underlying grid so you can mix up the layout of your towns from organic to following a square grid if you want. There is a lot of customisation options for colours and different varieties in the architecture so you can make churches and apartments and I like that you can randomise colours as you create. To suggest improvements, I wish you could change the width of paths you can make or change the colour of the paths and paved surfaces as there are not many options right now. Also an "undo" and "redo" feature would be nice for editing and creating timelapse videos. In addition, being able to change the lighting and look of the models such as a light clay render would be nice. Finally, this game would be ideal if it could be ported to mobile platforms. Overall, a really fun little toy to play with that expands on the idea of townscaper and is worth the price if you want to make some interesting towns quickly.

While I like the graphic style, and the tools are easy to use, there isn't a lot to do. It's easy to complete all the levels (challenges) within two hours. After that, there's not much left to do. While the sandbox mode has some different grid options for snapping buildings to, it doesn't have anything else aside from a potentially larger map area. There are some residents, birds, and animals that come to your town, but they don't seem to do anything, and you can't zoom in close enough or take a street-level view. The height for buildings is capped rather short for all buildings, and you can't connect buildings across upper floors to create archways between them (e.g. across roads or gardens). A strange but large paper-airplane shape sometimes pops up during construction. It can't be moved or change, but will disappear after a few minutes. The doors and windows sometimes disappear from buildings, leaving smooth walls. I have a lot of questions: What do farms do? And why no farm buildings? Or farmers? Why are hedges considerd "farms" and what do they do? What do churches do and why aren't there priests and nuns to work in them? What's the difference between apartments and hou…

If you love city builders but want to ditch the stress of objectives and management, this is a must-buy! It’s pure, creative building that perfectly blends Townscaper with the charm of Tiny Glade! I have very few complaints beyond some building/object placement restrictions, and having to return to the menu to change levels (unless I didn't notice a progression system). Check out my gameplay + thoughts here: https://youtu.be/QQ2gpbqR7QU Highly recommended for a relaxing creative session!

This is a nice cozy city builder, no costs, no management, just building. Overall, I reall like the full game. If you've played the demo than the full game adds a number of improvements. The walls are wonderful paired with the larger maps as you can actually build a city inside the walls. I also really liked the ability to place wells and statues, not to mention roads! There are some new maps and they're much bigger than the demo maps so you can make much larger builds. Having the ability to check the grid as an overlay can be helpful for seeing where to put (or not) buildings. The only real complaint I have is that there are no shops. You can place appartments, houses, cannals, churchs, keeps, walls, parks, lawns, crops, fountains and roads. However, there are no shops which can be a little frustrating if trying to build a full town.

Tried this game out with quite a lot of excitement. The tools in the game are very basic and straight forward, really intuitive and easy to use. Going from a small group of houses to the entire map filled out didn't take too long. The game has so much potential, the grids it uses also do an incredible job at making layouts feel organic and natural, but make it difficult to create buildings that are symmetrical and have straight walls, such as cathedrals/churches, for example, which is also a build tool that the game specifically offers. Overall, the concept is very solid and the potential is massive, especially if you are given the liberty of choosing your own color palettes, switching between grid styles during building to spice things up a little. After 11 hours of gameplay, there are a couple things worth noting and here is my feedback to the developer(s) if they read this review. The game could use better optimization. Even with a high end PC, my computer struggles really badly to even just run the game once the map got filled out in a save file, although also probably worth mentioning that I built quite the thing, and would gladly share if it offers any insights on game op…

Just Chilling, great to relax yourself.
