Towns brings a fresh new take on the citybuilding/management genre by introducing many RPG features.

Drawing inspiration from games such as Diablo, Dungeon Keeper and Dwarf Fortress, the game has you managing a settlement on top of an active dungeon.  Instead of playing the hero who delves deep into the dungeon, how about playing the town that houses and caters to the hero's needs?

Both the RPG and strategic aspects will be fleshed out over a series of sprawling dungeons.

Craft unique weapons, obtain randomized loot and build a settlement capable of holding back the forces that come up from the depths!

Hello dear men and women,

We are proud to announce the release of Towns v13!

In this build have We added a server support for the buried towns, so now you will be able to download buried towns from other players automatically or from a default server. You no longer need to go out and search for them, they shall come to you.

We have also added items where you can write custom texts on, those carved and written texts will remain when the town is buried, so its possible to send messages through time to other players.

Think of them is kind of like a message in a bottle.
 
Since v13 sieges now have a chance to appear from underground, so defend accordingly!

Heroes can now make friendships and form parties with other heroes based on their moral. Heroes on the same party will explore together and rush to each other's aid.

Heroes partying

We have changed how happiness is calculated in according to idle and work time, so now townies get unhappy if they are unemployed or overworked. Maintain a balance between your townies work and fun times.

There is now an option to reincar
nate unique dead heroes. It is a complicated spell so follow its instructions carefully!

Other than those, there are many more additions, fixes and performance improvements, you can check them all here.

Please, visit our forums andd dont be shy if you have any suggestion or criticism.

So long and may Nux be with you!

For some reason Towns isn't making any noise. I have my volume on almost full, and I made sure that the settings have sound on. :L

Hi Guys!
I purchased this game via Steam during the Sales. Looks interesting, more like an engine, though, than a complete game.

So I had some fun editing the .xml's in \data\ to tweak my game a bit. BUT I have NOT figured out how to make the Modloader work (I found that here: Townsgame.com) and so couldn't try those pretty mods they have posted there. The game just crashes, it smells like Steam's fault to me...

Does anyone know anything about it?
(ah & happy new year!)

There's plenty to do with the current version of Towns, but it is still under early development

A fantastic concept. A good way to kill some time, even though I know I'm getting nothing for it in the end. :(

Seriously do a bit more research before attacking the devs. It's a pretty well known fact that the game is still a sort of alpha/beta stage and if you even bothered to look on the official forum you'd know that they are clearly not gone and they actually have plans to release an update in January.

Practice what you preach. The concern expressed by jellobriafra is so widespread that the devs have responded to it: Townsgame.com

Maybe the devs are busy with personal issues or doing something else with another update.

It is a game with great potential. The gameplay is like DF Lite (If it existed), which is not coincidental because the developers said they had Toady's masterwork in mind while working on this game. An important difference between Towns and DF is that Towns has an interface more attuned to the human eyes. That's right, wanna mine that wall? Click, drag, click, orders are now set! Now watch the Townsfolk perform hard labor! (Note: Press Ctrl to toggle wall visibility. It makes tracking your village's…

This game needs a lot of work, especially the sound and music. There is some great music on the net that you can license for cheap I would really recommend you take a look at those. The game could use some ambient sounds and all the other sound effects..especially the deaths.
