About TownCraft
TownCraft is a chill-out crafting and city-building game in which you'll build a humble medieval town from the very first stone.
You are alone in the wilderness, and must build a new town, complete with workers and inhabitants, to be the celebration of all the kingdoms!
To the West lies King Oligarchy, a narcissist primarily absorbed by his own reflection. To the East: Queen Omnibus, busy 'taming' neighbouring kingdoms with the tip of her blade.
In between is you.
You begin by crafting the most basic of tools, tying a sharpened stone to a small piece of wood as a hatchet, but before long your town will be teeming and with travellers from all across the land. They'll buy your wares at the local shops, come to check out the sights, have some food and drink at your tavern, they'll come looking to trade with you, or work for you. Fish, farm, forage, hire, fire, and explore the bizarre and kitschy world of TownCraft.

TownCraft is the first game from Flat Earth Games, created by two brothers from Sydney, Australia and their team of intrepid developers.

Stuff you'll do in TownCraft:
- Play a new world every time thanks to procedurally generated maps.
- Hundreds of different objects to create and mix.
- Build bridges, jetties, workshops and windmills as you create a fully functioning and self-sufficient town.
- Order around your muck-ridden peasants as they manage your gold mines, stone quarries, crop fields, lakes, shops and taverns.
- Real-time day and night cycle – watch as your workers wake up, go to work, hit the tavern to meet some passing travellers later at night and then get some shut-eye again.
- Explore each new world to unearth a variety resources, from cotton to canary eggs, gold to grapes, wheat to wax and stone to silver.
- Follow an off-beat story as kingdoms vie for control.

Only played for about 30 minutes and quickly came to the conclusion that it's an underwhelming, buggy attempt at a survival game. I do like the idea - build a town and have citizens and workers move in as it grows. The execution, however, is [b]slow[/b] due to the character movement speed. Little content exists - few items to see, craft, and build. It's also riddled with bugs and lacks numerous QOL improvements. While none of the bugs I encountered were game-breaking, considering the sheer number of them I'm certain game-breaking ones do exist. There are UI issues such as the small black text not being legible for certain items, or the tutorial UI flying off the screen when you click the "?" button more than once. The logging bench is invisible when placed inside of a house. The demolish building icon, while functional, is also invisible. The game instantly crashed when I tried loading the first level after the tutorial. Those are just [b]a couple[/b] of the bugs I saw in my short session. As for QOL, this game is severely behind. Arbitrary restrictions exist such not being able to place buildings/farms within a tile of each other, and farms have to be enclosed in fences. There's…1 found this helpful
Cheers to Good Game Spawn Point for reccomending me this game when I was child :o) I have never let it go
Amazing game!! I Loved this game as a child and still do now.
Would love a update, its been a childhood game and I love it but wish there was more
I got this in a humble bundle, or else I would have refunded it for sure.
-Slow character movement -Every small setting change needs a restart to take effect -Abandoned game. The developers are crazy enough to sell merchandise for a game that sucks lol! 0/10
