Townscaper Mod
Build a little world, one click at a time.
Building as play
Townscaper Mod is a small browser building toy inspired by Townscaper. Click on the irregular grid to place colored blocks, then keep adding, stacking, and removing pieces. There is no score or prescribed result: the scene is something to explore as it grows.
The experiment focuses on the relationship between a simple action and a more complex shape. Blocks respond to their neighbors, producing connected surfaces across an irregular grid. Changing the brush size lets a click affect a single area or a wider cluster.
A small set of controls
Use the left mouse button to build and the right mouse button to remove. Choose a color from the palette, orbit the scene by dragging, and scroll to zoom. Undo and redo make it easy to try a change and step back. The Share control encodes a scene into a link so it can be opened again.
This is an independent, early experiment rather than the original Townscaper or an official expansion. The prototype is best explored with a mouse and keyboard. The source repository remains available alongside this playable version hosted on my website.
