There is also another game/toy by Oskar Stålberg in which you can build a teeny, tiny block of house(s) on a 5x5 grid. Very cute, especially with all the well decorated balconies.

- julius_deane 5y agolooks like the precursor to Townscapper

- and0 5y agoAlso wanted to pop in to recommend his Twitter. Watching these games get made has been a blast. Just the right mix of interesting math and creativity. I always dig into his blog posts and threads.
- m12k 5y agoThe house toy has a cute little easter egg: If you remove all the foundation pieces of the structure, the remaining structure above starts bobbing up and down slowly, hovering - very subtle way to acknowledge "yep, I did in fact think about that case too".
- adamrezich 5y agoin Townscaper, doing the same can cause propellers to appear beneath your structures
- stavros 5y agoHmm, how? All I see is stilts (in the browser version, at least, which I imagine should be the same as the Steam version).
- BorisTheBrave 5y agoIt only appears in certain rare configurations. You need a section of town with no exterior corners.
- stavros 5y agoAhh I see, thank you.

- stavros 5y agoAhaha jeez, he really did think of everything.
- coryrc 5y agoAn arc through the middle can cause no stilts or propellers! https://oskarstalberg.com/Townscaper/#MzJODmWAdn_ETTo_gSLputjP8oyU3oo9UPiyjo4jGaM1DP8BFe0gWSddgmQdFg2O9bgWMdDleYQfao5RfooB https://oskarstalberg.com/Townscaper/#MzJODmWAdn_ETTo_gSLput... (and, for posterity's sake, the shape with propellers is a donut).
- capitainenemo 5y agoHuh. Adding one sea level block to the outside of that doughnut leads to all the propellers disappearing but no stilts. Resulting structure does not look very likely. :)
- venthur 5y agoyou can even stack them! https://oskarstalberg.com/Townscaper/#MzJODmugKVfngggBBBC_TMBBBDCCE8EKIIYQQgg-gSQQxggABvkCCCGEEI4feEEEMIIQxjpgggBBBC_GFBBBDCCE8eKIIYQQggv2QQQxggABPmCCCGEEI4rGEEEMIIQxD12222222eJFEEMIIQxXHIIIYQQggnQBBBDCCE8VACCCGEEI4tTQQxggAB-bggggBBBCeyEEEMIIQx3QJIIYQQggfYQQQxggAB-phgggBBBCeeEEEMIIQxfoIIIYQQggH https://oskarstalberg.com/Townscaper/#MzJODmugKVfngggBBBC_TM...
- brundolf 5y agoI highly recommend following indie devs on Twitter. It's always cool watching the game take shape over the years, and sometimes you also get behind-the-scenes details
