TownCraft Releases on iPhone and MAC
Sydney, Australia – April 23, in the year of our Lord
2014 – The Aussie developer Flat Earth Games announced
today it has released the crafting-building-exploration game
TownCraft for iPhone and Mac. TownCraft offers players the
chance to satisfy their building urges, crafting a variety of
unusual tools and constructing entirely new towns from the
ground up. Originally released on the iPad last year, TownCraft
for iPhone and Mac adds a whole new level of polish, content,
depth, and replay value highlighted by four new levels, 30 new
resources, new building types and structures, 44 new quests and
much more, all without any in-app purchases ever.
“We're so glad to finally see TownCraft out on iPhone and Mac
today,” said Leigh Harris, Lead Designer. "We put a lot of
effort into making the game the best it can be for both new
platforms. Our hope is that new players and the community see
our dedication and love of TownCraft now and well into the
future.”
TownCraft is a simple yet addictive building and crafting game
that’s easy to get into, non-violent, and engages one’s desire
to discover, create and explore. Set in medieval times, players
are alone in the wilderness and must start a new town to become
the toast of the kingdoms. Gamers begin by crafting the most
basic of tools, tying a sharpened stone to a small piece of wood
as a hatchet and, before long, their town will be teeming with
travellers from all across the land. They'll buy wares at the
local shops, come to check out the sights, have some food, and
drink at the tavern players build. Fish, farm, forage, mine,
mill, and explore the bizarre and distinctive world of
TownCraft.
Key Features in TownCraft
Play a new world every time – no two worlds will ever be the
same thanks to procedurally generated maps.
Test your skills at crafting, with hundreds of different objects
to create, shape, and construct.
Build bridges, jetties, workshops and windmills in the effort to
create a fully functioning and self-sufficient town.
Order around muck-ridden peasants, who will manage one's gold
mines, stone quarries, crop fields, lakes, shops and taverns.
Play in a world with a real-time day and night cycle – workers
will wake up, go to work, hit the tavern to meet some passing
travellers later at night, and then get some shut-eye again.
Explore each new world and unearth countless resources, from
cotton to canary eggs, gold to grapes, wheat to wax and stone to
silver.
Follow an off-beat story as kingdoms vie for control.
TownCraft is produced with the support of Screen Australia, and
is currently available for the iPad and iPhone on the APP Store
for $4.99 (with no in-app purchases); the Mac version is
available for $9.99.
