- codetrotter 6y agoLooks cool. Would be nice with a YouTube video about it for those of us on mobile.
- pdoub 6y agoPlease note that this is an old demo that has since grown into a full-blown game: https://steamcommunity.com/app/1291340 https://steamcommunity.com/app/1291340 (Says Windows-only, but has a working Beta for Mac) Here's a talk by Oskar on how generating such worlds work: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0bcZb-SsnrA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0bcZb-SsnrA
- brohee 6y agoAnd already a subreddit where people showcase some pretty impressive creations: https://www.reddit.com/r/Townscaper/ https://www.reddit.com/r/Townscaper/
- jiofih 6y ago“This community is available in the app” Looks like Reddit is not part of the internet anymore.
- ache7 6y agoHe is also one of the developers of Bad North, where islands are procedurally generated, much similar with this demo.
- l0b0 6y agoThat looks like a great creative app. I wonder how much work it would be to build realistic-looking replicas of modern cities using this - I guess it would need almost as many styles as there are buildings.
- wlkr 6y agoThis is a really cool project, I particularly like how well thought out the possible connections are between tiers. The only 'issue' I can see is that rooftops are often left inaccessible! Automatically adding some ladders or steps to adjacent would be a simple solution but I'm sure there are more imaginative and architecturally inclined people than me with better ideas!

- capableweb 6y agoQuick solution could be to just add one wooden door/trap/plank per "terrace", on the floor of it, to symbolize entrance from within
- jbverschoor 6y agoVery polished!
- kome 6y agolovely! i recommend visiting also his beautiful tumblr: https://oskarstalberg.tumblr.com/ https://oskarstalberg.tumblr.com/
- load 6y agoThis is awesome. I ended up just removing random bits to make it look wrong, but somehow it always ended up looking pretty stunning. I think the shadows also add a lot to the scene. I also made a pretty good-looking two layered structure with it: (pic https://ibb.co/vVbtG52 https://ibb.co/vVbtG52)
- LordHeini 6y agoI like how you get a wobbly floating effect, when you remove all the foundations of a block.
- madc 6y agoI was going to write the same thing.
- deleted 6y ago[deleted]
- dgellow 6y agoI just want to say, Oskar's twitter is a goldmine: https://twitter.com/OskSta https://twitter.com/OskSta. It was fantastic to see his work on Townscaper over the past year.
- bhrgunatha 6y agoOppose the tyranny of gravity https://imgur.com/CUbh6Cy.png https://imgur.com/CUbh6Cy.png https://i.imgur.com/CUbh6Cy.png https://i.imgur.com/CUbh6Cy.png
- __s 6y agoLike the touch where if you remove all connections to the ground, the building will float up & down
- SwiftyBug 6y agoOppose the tyranny of colour as well? Your creation reminds of the work of M. C. Escher http://mediad.publicbroadcasting.net/p/nhpr/files/201409/5-Escher-Waterfall_0.jpg http://mediad.publicbroadcasting.net/p/nhpr/files/201409/5-E... https://playingcardcollector.files.wordpress.com/2014/11/relativity-by-m-c-escher-1953.jpg https://playingcardcollector.files.wordpress.com/2014/11/rel...
- nxpnsv 6y agoThis was even more amazing to me http://oskarstalberg.com/game/planet/planet.html http://oskarstalberg.com/game/planet/planet.html
- ourcat 6y agoVery nice. It reminds me a little bit of the early stages of the game 'Spore'.
- nxpnsv 6y agoYeah, I think they used a similar approach, there was a great talk about how they made planets, not sure where to find it though. Loved the concept, but found the game pretty dull in practice.
- app4soft 6y agoThere is also Atrira[0,1] project by Blender Ukraine.[2] [0] http://atrira.org http://atrira.org [1] https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCe_eWhXBsRMEVegCf3l8yDg https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCe_eWhXBsRMEVegCf3l8yDg [2] http://blender3d.org.ua/u/%D0%94%D0%B8%D0%BC%D0%B0/23.html http://blender3d.org.ua/u/%D0%94%D0%B8%D0%BC%D0%B0/23.html
- rrll22 6y agoPlease change the URL by adding "https://" https://"
- rcruzeiro 6y ago"You need a browser which supports WebGL to run this content. Try installing Firefox." Oddly, I get this when attempting to load this website on Firefox (macOS)
- SwiftyBug 6y agoI loaded it on Firefox on macOS without any problem. Maybe you block the use of WebGL by Firefox?
- jjjbokma 6y agoFirefox 78.01 on macOS Mojave: works fine.
- rcruzeiro 6y agoI'm on 80.0a1 on macOS Big Sur
- jagged-chisel 6y agoBetas on betas, so I don't think your experience is "odd" but probably to be expected.
- rcruzeiro 6y agoSeeing that oepning the website on Firefox prompts a message for me to try opening the website on Friebfox, I'd say odd is a good adjecive for this experience. It won't be odd if I was opening it on Safari or if this version of Firefox was causing issues with multiple websites (so far, I only had an issue with this one and, yes, I did try other websites that use WebGL).
- hombre_fatal 6y agoFound a similar thing but with a planet on his blog: http://oskarstalberg.com/game/planet/planet.html http://oskarstalberg.com/game/planet/planet.html I'm in awe of the attention to detail. This guy is a real artist, cool to see such a skilled mix of creativity, art, and software.
- fnord77 6y agodesktop only? worked perfectly fine on my mbp
- wtracy 6y agoThat means a desktop platform, not a desktop form factor. OS X is considered a desktop operating system in this context. (As opposed to a mobile platform like iOS or Android.)
- vmchale 6y agothe YIMBY game
- bichiliad 6y agoThis is so simple and so enjoyable.
- juliend2 6y agoPro tip: right-click to remove blocks.
- Animats 6y agoThat looks like Archmatrix.[1] Archmatrix is a full constraint system. Stretch a wall, you get more windows, not bigger ones. Stretch a chair, get a couch. [1] https://youtu.be/aBeco-qPip4 https://youtu.be/aBeco-qPip4
- keeganpoppen 6y agooh man i had way too much fun playing with this!
