They’ve built circles around me

Seaside town toolTownscaperis a wonderful little toy for tickling the brain. Developer Oskar Stålberg is known for procedural toys of the same ilk and this one’s really hit on an aesthetic that I can’t get enough of.
The only trouble is, I’m an absolute clod who just endlessly attempts to recreate other thingsinTownscaper. No, my attempts at building Windfall Island from The Legend Of Zelda: The Wind Waker have not panned out. Please do not ask me about it. Other folks are so much more inspired than me it’s tragic, frankly. Just look at the things they’ve built.

Townscaper is still in early access, despite the extremely imaginative builds already being made. Stålberg has said he wants to see how folks interact with Townscaper to decide on new features. My personal pick would be the ability to change the color of a block without removing and replacing it. So far as I can tell, tediously removing and rebuilding each individual block is the only way to repaint a town if you got carried away and accidentally went monochromatic.
You can find Townscaper overon Steamfor £4.79/€4.99/$5.99.
If you build Windfall Island, don’t show me.
