"I'm not sure this belongs on the channel as it isn't a game" says the man with an Excell Livestream...

Start of the episode: And no matter what it will always just be these same birds, and that's lovely End of the episode: I just realized more birds have appeared as the town grows. That's lovely

This isn't a game. This is an art project. And I love it.

That pretty much describes the game perfectly

You do not want a house that can only be accessed via ladder, especially not a straight up vertical ladder. Don't worry dear I'll carry in the groceries! Proceeds to stare at ladder, looks at groceries in hand, looks back at ladder, looks back to groceries in hands.

That moment when you realize Jon is making less Venice and more Kowloon walled city on water.

I was wondering when Jon would feature this. Watching it, I think it could definitely benefit from weather functions and possibly a paint tool to change colours of small features. Something really appealing about looking at that town in rain.

This would be perfect livestream material. A town made by the viewers.

Silly Jojo fan, Part 6 is just a myth

Claire comes home next week after buying groceries, only to find Jon has elevated their house and you now have to climb a ladder to get in.

The best part of this game is that it works on designing the world with you. You may have a plan but the way things mix and fit together your views may greatly change. Like the pyramid idea was cool but the way it turned out at the end was fantastic

If there were people in the cities with crowd simulations, this game would be legit perfect

i love how just deliciously Cornish this looks

This is therapeutic to watch Jon, thank you.

I need this on a stream in the future I would happily watch 3+ hours of jon playin this

Watching Jon play with this is as chill as watching Bob Ross paint...

Sim City, Venice edition

this feels like a Bob Ross video game.

didn't know you would play this but on second thought, hell yeah this is right up your alley

I was so secretly hoping that you could explore what you've built by walking around first person.

Watched this for 10 minutes, went straight to Steam and bought it. Think I've found my new favourite waste of time, it's so relaxing to play.

This is definitely the game that I need in life right now.

Great timing Jon, I just found this game at some online store and was intrigued enough to decide some research was needed and bam, you upload this. This is not the first time you've posted an interesting game right when I first discovered it for myself.

The way I would define a game is you're *extrinsically* rewarded or punished for certain specific actions performed in the game itself. In walking sims you get more story or maybe different content, in sandbox tycoon games you get or lose money, in puzzle games you get more puzzles. Townscaper doesn't have rewards or punishments. You don't get anything other than an *intrinsic* satisfaction of having made something, much like a toy (like LEGO).

This is gorgeous.

Make this a series and we will watch I promise this is amazing

Love this game, so good to pick up for a little while to chill out with.

This would be wild with a mode to go down and walk around

Imagine being the person living in a house only accessible via ladder and having to bring groceries in. I mean I'd still do it if it meant I got to live in such a perfectly whimsical town but it would be pretty inconvenient.

this feels like a Ghibli-Anime-Town-Building Simulator-thingy and I love it for that!

It looks like Llandudno during Pride Month. And in the middle of the sea. I wanna go there.

I would be perfectly fine with videos of Jon and/or Claire playing with toys, regarding that intro debate.

0:21 What is a game, A miserable little collection of codes.

I got the same vibe playing with the Tracks game on Xbone. Basically building with kids wooden train set in bedroom/living room and building little towns, whatever; very relaxing and eats the hours.

This was wonderful and chill! Thanks for this!

Finally you have covered this game

I could’ve watched this all day

I kept seeing this on Twitter every now and then so I am extremely excited that it's out.

I’ve been followed this toy/tech/game for a while, it’s super impressive!

Jon please god do a chill out livestream with this

Even as towers go, that is a little phallic.

Congratulations John, you have created a massive rainbow slums XD

"When you're walking down here and you see all of this..." you begin to wonder if a giant clown vomited on your town.

So Jon, you know how you couldn't get your pyramid to work? I just got the game 20 minutes ago, and I got one to work. It might just be how the star is shaped that caused you problems

I want a never-ending stream of Jon playing this.

yes its so good

This game is fantastic and I hope the developer adds more

Awesome! Love this. Also notice the interesting conformal geometry.

If it's not in the game already I'd love to see a mode where you can explore your creations as a person in the world

Gotta love a concrete garden.

You can make a stripey tower, you just need to make the stripes 2 levels tall, so 2 white, 2 red, etc. Then it should give you a spire roof at the top.

I loved this!

8:02 towers just have to be two blocks above anything else on their building. If you put another block on top, that would make another tower.

In this video, Jon discovers Lego.

This would be an amazing chill stream

Wish I was this confident with things I create.

watching videos like this is exactly why I started my youtube channel! Cool stuff :)

In this episode, Jon creates Mont St. Michel.

This is weird, I just bought this game and played it for about 2 hours, finished playing, opened youtube and there's a video on it from MATN. I am spooked.

FPV camera. Day/night cycle. Various backgrounds. That way you can create a town, walk around it, find a nice view, and have that view (animated with day/night and maybe birds and other small creatures) as the live background for your desktop... just saying :)

This is quite nice
