Go-Go Town! News

Happy Cozy Quest to all Townies new and old!

✨We’re celebrating the coziest time of year with a 10% discount on Go-Go Town! that will run for the duration of the event. Dubbed “every cozy city builder’s dream” by PCGamer, there's never been a better time to grab a blanket, get snug and start working on your town

🥧We recently teamed up with our Dinkum buddies on a bonza collaboration, so you’ll find loads of fresh new content waiting for you, including a super cozy new Bakery fitout that’s just waiting to be put to work making all the tastiest treats.

We hope you have the best time putting together some super cozy builds, be it quiet corners or full town refits! We’d love to see them all, so please do share them with us 🥰

We're also excited to watch the Cozy Quest folks stream a little bit of co-op chaos this coming weekend, so tune in to watch here:

We’re overjoyed to announce a super special collaboration with our dear Dinkum friends, in this huge Dinkum x Go-Go Town! crossover update!

[h2]Traders Welcome! [/h2]

A brand new construction option awaits in the Trader Area. Once built, it will regularly attract a whole host of wandering merchants to your town. They’ll come bearing new stalls and items unique to them, and you might even recognise a few familiar faces…

Bringing with him a huge variety of Dinkum inspired goodies, Ted will make sure you’ll never be short of options to spend your hard earned bucks on! Bird of Paradise flowers, Jackaroo statues, recipes for favourite foods like Sausage Rolls, and of course, a brand new flammable plant. The Yellow Wattle Bush is not only highly combustible, but it also opens up a whole new avenue of Wattle products.

The iconic Dinkum posse definitely didn’t want to get left behind on this epic crossover, so John, Fletch and Irwin are all ready to settle down in Go-Go Town! Once you’ve invited them to live and work in the town, you’ll get a special reward upon them achieving their full-fledged townie status!



[h2]It’s a Piece of Cake [/h2]

This special update event also brings with it a brand new Bakery build! Delivering heaps of delicious new bakery recipes, the sweet smell of bickies and pavs will surely set your townies tummies to rumble. Also, as a special treat (tis the season after all…) we have even added a candy floss cart. You’re welcome.



We’ve had a blast working with Dinkum on this special crossover update! It’s packed chocka with new goodies and heaps of fun for everyone to enjoy, so what are you waiting for? Get out there and enjoy the best of these two incredible town builders!

Hello all!

A quick update this week, with some updated timing news.
[h3]Minor Update #6 Timing[/h3]
We were planning on this coming out this week, but a few of the changes need a bit more time to bake. AI has been tweaked again, and thank you to our Preview Branch folks who flagged that their workers were going on strike—eek! (Don't worry, we've fixed it!)

We'd love even more help in our Preview Branch, if you want to get sneak peeks at things before they're on the public branch (and help us find any issues that might be). You can learn about how to opt in to the Branch here, and we've got specific channels in our Discord if you have any questions!

A little peek at what's in store—a separate Herbs n Spice vine! Easier to forage instead of rummaging around in those gonut bushes.


[h3]Crossover (Major Update #2) Update[/h3]
Still hard at work at this, and we're still planning on it coming out later this month. We'll have an exact date soon, and starting next week we'll start dropping clues on our social media (and here on Steam) - so stay tuned!

[h3]Share your town with us![/h3]
We've been blown away with how incredible some of your towns look, especially with the space that Build & Bustle has given you. We've built a form so you can send us a copy of your save file for us to share pictures of your town on social media, so submit away!


[h3]We're looking for Discord mods[/h3]
We're lucky to have some great Discord mods, but they have to sleep eventually - so we're putting the call out for more mods. Head here to fill out the application, and if you're located in GMT+3 to GMT+10, all the better!

And that's all she wrote! Have a lovely end of the week, all.

As a quick note, we'll be shifting to bi-weekly update posts, so stay tuned in two weeks for our next dispatch!
