[@andrewwoolford8073]

If I remember correctly, the creator referred to it as being more of a "toy" than a game, which sort of fits your description of making your own fun with it.

[@TheSkootenbeeten]

Tom's gasps of delight when discovering how things look once he added/removed a part was... just lovely. Really enjoyed this!

[@velociking20industries42]

I could see using this to design really unique looking towns for a ttrpg

[@Cheesepuff8]

Ye it definitely seems like a good tool for coming up with your own like house/town designs

[@coreyfrate2620]

That was my first thought as well, since I'm getting back into DnD. "Oh, this could be fun to map a small town."

[@CopperClappers]

I have read that you can export your towns as .obj files which means you can 3D print them

[@riverseverywhere]

Literally came down here to see who else had had this idea...

[@thatgamingfreak]

Yeah I use it for this function already and it works really well.

[@DamnCyrus]

I got this game on sale on steam and damn is it satisfyingly chill. I love that you can save your builds as an obj and 3D Print them! Really neat feature that I didn't know I needed

[@Lyki27]

You can 3D PRINT THEM?!

[@riverseverywhere]

WAIT WHAT??!?!?!?!

[@gggf4766]

oh wow thats amazing

[@playerheavenly_cauldron3583]

Definitely hope for a few updates with different block types, decorative blocks and ships. Even be somewhat interesting if they made it like multiplayer so you could build near and look at what your friends would be building.

[@vesperhugo]

Unfortunately the developers have stated they won't be adding anything else to the game. It was a neat little project for them, but won't see any future updates. :'(

[@jz1535]

@@vesperhugo Time for modders to do it, I guess

[@Amoth_oth_ras_shash]

@@jz1535 maby mooders can add some little npcs waltzin around sort of 'using' market stalls or other little decorations if it was added..hmm.. reminds me a bit of kingdoms & castles to be honest like a 'concept' art slice of a more advanced version.

[@rustedopus3414]

Mannnn this takes me back to the early days of tracks superchill. I loved that game

[@MrStegben]

This BGM always reminds me of Sips' Towns series and how I'm always sad that Tom hasn't made a series of that.

[@Jay_Johnson]

Satie's Gymnopedies are a vibe. Jesus Christ that was almost 10 years ago...

[@baseballjustin5]

God Towns was a great game. But didn't it go the way of most bad indie developers and they took the money and ran after a while? One of my favorite people to watch that game was Vechs, who makes the minecraft Super Hostile maps

[@Magic__7]

This is a very chill game

[@soffeebeans]

This really reminds me of Porco Rosso - the building coming right up out of the water, the ghibli-esque style, even the colors.

[@vrostar]

This game combined with Erik Satie is just **chefs kiss** 👌

[@PierceArner]

A Studio Ghibli-style town building game would be awesome, if it let you have both the Japanese & Western Medieval aesthetics - and especially for Tom if you could get as ramshackle as the design of Howl's Moving Castle.

[@DamnCyrus]

I wish this game had mod support, bet so many cool things would come out of the community for it

[@thewingedporpoise]

also quite a few like central European vibes

[@Darth_Baggins]

You know what would be perfect for Cyberpunk vibes? Tech Island!

[@01mdv79]

I have this game on my switch and it's so chill, often have it next to me while doing literally anything else!

[@Potoaster]

Superchills are perfect for doing homework

[@AquaAtia]

Gymnopedie 1 makes me nostalgic for some early Sips videos where he used it. I forgot for which videos though

[@Blitzkrieger17]

Towns!!! still one of his best play throughs lol...

[@Coldyham]

@@Blitzkrieger17 I bought towns because of it, then the game just got abandoned

[@iankocur8397]

Absolutely love the choice of Satie for this video, such soothing music

[@You_Got_Frames]

I'm loving these chill games, it's the perfect way to end a rough day, thank you Tom

[@Kukakkau]

There's a laid back city builder that just came out in early access today called "Settlement Survival" you might like. Takes a lot of inspiration from Banished.

[@conorkelly947]

Perfect soundtrack for superchill

[@thytrin2103]

Ah Yes, this iconic Sips City skylines soundtrack to my life. Nice play Tom

[@pennyhero7873]

Idk if its just me But I feel like Tom has Dad energy like these super chills remind of of when I was a little kid watching my dad play games its really comforting and certainly makes my bad days alot better

[@sleepymermaidariell337]

i really like the watercolor-like palette in this game. it's very calming

[@Miramoxx]

Cool thing if you make a large garden and add building inside the garden it adjusts the fences and just looks awesome, also you have adjust the shadows for the building by changing the time of day

[@holotori_senior_admin_teno]

Even with it being more "toy", "relaxation", "creativity tool" than game, I still feel like Townscaper needs a little push to give it more life and enjoyment. Maybe it's just one thing, maybe it multiple things... I don't suppose I could know for sure unless they were put in and tried out. I know most of these suggestions have been mentioned at one point or another, but here they are. 1: Aesthetic City Sets - I know this was mentioned in the video by Tom, and is probably the most requested feature, but it's true. The game's creator said the went for a Venetian sort of feel for things, and even one or two different ones would do a LOT to increase the longevity and flexibility of it. An East Asian one would be obvious, then maybe a winter/northern one. But each one added would drastically change things up and open up the possibilities for city builds. 2: Tile Placements - Everything in Townscaper is built around block placements, IE three dimensional polygons. The surfaces of what shows on the faces of the polygons is dictated by color chosen plus the blocks around them in an organic manner. Which is really neat, relaxing, and well done. At the same time, being able to put windows or doors on wall faces where wanting, making ground from street to park as desired, adding vines, or etc. would do a lot in being able to make an area feel like your own. Even "3D" tile face extentions like signs, areas with streetlights and benches, market stalls like Tom mentioned, or other things could be manageable I think, if they were done as 3D spaces of their own and could be connected to other tiles or covered up as normal. 3: City Life - Few things would add more life to Townscaper than more life. The current birds are a nice touch, and some other random wildlife wouldn't be too hard, like fish or whales or butterflies. Above all human life would be the best for the experience though, as it would make the cities feel less like ruins or ghost towns and more like lived in spaces. Wouldn't have to be anything too complex like conversations or interactions or such, but even just people moving around would be wonderful, entering and exiting buildings sometimes... that sort of thing. 4: Objectives This is where the debate comes in whether Townscaper is best left as a sort of "toy", or if it would be worth the work to add a mode more "game" like. It wouldn't need to be anything too complex, just something where you have limitations or objectives to meet that could provide some challenge or such. 5: Environmental Effects - Another thing that could help a city feel more real and offer some different perspectives on what you've build, the ability to have day and night, occasionally have clouds or rain, or have slight tides or waves. Just some thoughts. I remember you playing this before Tom, and I'm always glad to have a chill time watching you putz around in something like Townscaper here or Tracks. 👍

[@TheConfusled]

This was really nice, thanks Tom for the calm evening video.

[@theblargsniper]

These superchill videos are so charming. Easily one of my favourite things to see on my feed

[@death20015200]

Your background music helps calm my upset stomach. Idk why but it really helps.

[@ThatPsdude]

This is the kind of video I needed to complete de-stress me this weekend Tom, thanks for finding such relaxing games. Also I totally gasped at the same time as you at 27:17 when that archway appeared lol

[@ieyke]

I love it, but I am genuinely shocked that you didn't start building separate "islands" to create a canal network, and then build a major bridge over them. And I'm surprised you didn't build a fortress area with tall distinct walls.

[@jordan6508]

Love the fun videos, thank you for your work Tom.

[@Laura-wd4ph]

Oh thank the Gods for a new superchill! Tom you marvellous bastard, you’ve no clue how much I needed this right now.

[@lonitbonit5618]

This is the first game I had my daughter play on my computer, it worked so well on teaching her how to move her mouse and click.

[@Delishtomo]

i like that the birds fly away, instead of just disappearing or exploding into feathers or something. although, now that i've said that last part...

[@SlavaRybka]

It was kinda nice, but what actually got me excited is the button "export to .obj" that popped up in the side menu. That means you can easily 3d print it on most printers. It would make for a really nice decoration!

[@Lyki27]

This is a fun little game I use to make town layouts for dnd. Helps make streets random.

[@Cothfotmeoo]

This was pretty amazing and definitely SUPERCHILL. Watched this right before I went to sleep, actually, and it helped. Thanks! Well played.

[@j-henry7391]

I really enjoy when you do games like this!

[@bigel2257]

I don’t normally watch these kind of videos, loved it

[@huffy737]

This is actually super relaxing.

[@matteocurtis3110]

Tom, can I just say, this was the perfect video for me today. Thank you!

[@malazar]

been watching the guy developing this post gifs on twitter as he added features, and it looks super cool (and a perfectly superchill game). Really enjoyed chilling to this. :D

[@quiet_calamity]

Tom building an island, talking about his desire for a high tech city builder... This is it, this is as close as we're getting to tech island.

[@FishPit]

Been waiting for you to play this. What a treat.

[@bleachit42]

this is exactly the kind of chill game I didnt know I was looking for, thanks Tom.

[@darthvaderyan]

This is gorgeous

[@evanholt1752]

The oceany vibes and the building piled on top of each other reminds me a lot of Spiritfarer

[@Rain0T]

gotta love how Tom makes a single video on this game and the first building he makes is better than any town I've ever made in it 🙃😆

[@boiledham]

The only thing this game is missing is the ability to wander the streets and staircases of your city!

[@cognitivefailure]

Nice! IMO this was the best Superchill since the original City Skylines series.

[@darcyglavine5860]

this is the DEFINITION of superchill.. Little people walking around would be nice.

[@fellexstar]

When he had all the colours on the wonky peir it shot me stright back to Newfoundland.

[@The1Overmind]

I kid you not, Tom is literally the Bob Ross of video game city building lol ❤️

[@FindThisArtist]

Straight in with Erik Satie, sold! super chill indeed

[@xRandomSarahx]

This was so relaxing 😁

[@Beweren]

It really was super chill, Tom

[@gotyouchip1179]

I wish my desktop background was this game and I could just add onto it or watch the birds fly around constantly

[@Ixarus6713]

Me: *Goes near the tower* Old Man Maguire: "Go away kid, or I'm gonna put some dirt in your eye."

[@JJnnaatt]

I like how it knew you wanted to build a lighthouse

[@jamesallen3541]

I’ve seen this advertised on steam several times, and always thought it would be perfect for a Tom superchill. Great to see him finally playing it.

[@finlayl2505]

The Wind Rises is my favourite recent Ghibli Film

[@asabizarre]

as an artist I really like this game for backgrounds and landscapes ... helps it looks more organic yknow

[@vdeixo9538]

like random style, goes to do uniform shapes

[@Ahkmedren]

Megas XLR is still one of my favorite shows. The theme by Deathwish 9 is totally rad and has been my ringtone for years haha

[@Teonod]

Re: Looking like Ghibli. It's a Swedish game and the look of the city is based on old-fashioned Swedish coastal cities like Stockholm, incidentally Hayao Miyazaki is a huge fan of Sweden...

[@benl5251]

Damn, megas XLR was the shit! Gonna rewatch all of them now 😆

[@Zhinarkos]

Love the Erik Satie in the background.

[@robjewell1223]

Super Chill! Super Chill!

[@S4B3R117]

Oh man, I would have watched 2-3 hours of this lmao, good stuff

[@tiffanyrickenbaker8097]

tom tiiiime!!! I love superchill, and i love this gaaaame!!!

[@SoldierOFortune7]

this would be great for making towns for tabletop gaming!

[@Magic__7]

Why do I think one day Tom will make his own city builder

[@ieyke]

That would be amazing. Something like a combo of Townscaper, the toy train one, and Foundation would be amazing.

[@operator8014]

Hey pardner! Real nice enclosed dock you've got there!

[@bigdaftal]

Hi Tom, really like your super chills and especially Townscaper. Since you mentioned Laputa, did you know you can make FLYING CASTLES in Townscaper? Apparently you need to build up a detatched platforn in a smooth connected shape (as the weird grid allows) and if you do it right you get HOVER BLADES at the bottom. Cool eh? Thought you might wanna try it out.

[@Dereko123]

major windfall island vibes. but if windfall island was more adequately sized for a population

[@middlemonster]

Imagine bringing a sofa up that ladder.

[@pacosoentken303]

The nicest looking oil rig I've ever seen

[@Thatgingerdude15]

This game is super cool and looks like fun to play after a stressful day. Coupled with the cheap price, this is too good to be true

[@vineveer4358]

Tom: Mentions city skylines. Me: Does this mean Tech Island is confirmed!?

[@5150km]

Tom be over here running the unofficial Yogscast ASMR channel

[@FearnTiran]

This music makes me think of Towns

[@Mylity66]

You watched Megas XLR? Amazing, I too dig giant robots ;) They were really trying to nail down the anime feel on it, without loosing the 'murica feel, and yeah, they did it, it's probably the most american anime ever

[@Kinross07]

The music starts and the name triggers something in me. I must rewatch Sips' Towns playthrough after some Superchill.

[@artmonkeys]

Ghibli Bonsai Tom. Lovely.

[@HeresZachy]

toms voice and gymnopedie? Im sleeping goooood tonight

[@stuartrockin]

The town reminds me very much of the Unfinished Swan

[@Noobazzah]

A very Bob Ross -type of experience with me occasionally going "NO TOM, YOU'LL RUIN IT" and it then turning out fine.

[@zuerock4854]

Superchill is super awesome

[@kevinarteaga3824]

Living here in Jersey Fighting villains from afar, You've gotta find first-gear IN YOUR GIANT ROBOT-CAR! ...I loved Megas XLR...

[@ameliebrown3001]

yay another superchill :DDDD

[@MellowCheez]

You know, I think if Bob Ross ever streamed a video game, this is what it would be like.

[@samgotts6934]

im currently rewatching your cities skylines playlist, still a legit great video series

[@greyforge27]

Mrs. Miggins the Seaplane Pilot and Old Man Maguire are definitely having an affair

[@TheJebbu]

The music.. Awwhh the music

[@AndreasWinkler83]

Well... It's Satie.

[@theperson8114]

Ok I’m sold

[@redstonemonster5769]

MegaXLR was just the rule of Cool and it deliverd, but i dont want to admit that i am old eventhough that show was apparently 15 years ego.

[@RydoHutcho]

TABS and Townscaper need a collab

[@siv9939]

Megas XLR was my jam.

[@CoolToMe_]

The perfect video to mine in new world too

[@ElvesofZion]

I would love to be able to look a the source for this game, wonderful tile building

[@ziksy6460]

This is the cutest game ever
