It’s an obvious precursor to Townscaper, letting anyone create charming little brick buildings in their browser. The next stepping-stone was browser-based creative tool Brick Block. And when I would go on a train, I would scroll through the pictures and choose one to draw on.” “When I went out in nature, I would take nice little pictures and have a collection. He worked on these while on long train rides across Sweden to see relatives. Stålberg drew them on using a tablet and an app, which kickstarted a whole series of such images. And I thought, that would be fun with some houses on.” When I still worked at Ubisoft I saw a photo a colleague had taken of a half-rotten tree stump. “I tend to oscillate between making climates and small architectural dioramas,” he explains.īut earlier than that, Stålberg was obviously keen on architecture in miniature form. Stålberg tells us that Townscaper is “the latest instalment in an ongoing exploration of tile-based procedural generation.” Before this project, he experimented with the method across a number of personal projects as well as a big indie title: Bad North – which he created as a part of studio Plausible Concept. Instead, looking back at creator Oskar Stålberg’s previous work, you can see a clear line through his projects leading up to this point. Unlike the little towns you make, Townscaper hasn’t just popped out of nowhere perfectly-formed.
