Unexpected. Strange. Imperfect. Odd. Beautiful. There is nothing stopping you from building your wildest structures in Creative Mode. #citybuilder #relaxinggameplay #indiedev #cozygame #indiegame

I am always open to hearing your thoughts. Join the ShantyTown Discord and share your feedback for the game. I'd love to discuss it with you! #indiedev #cozygame #indiegame #citybuilder #relaxinggameplay
