ShantyTown Trailer & Release Date Announcement!

[p]Heya, everyone, Erik here
[/p][p]It hasn't been too long since we last spoke, and we updated you on the updated demo. That update is in preface to today, where I finally have some big news to share![/p][p][/p][p]I’m excited to finally share a fresh look at the game. ShantyTown has been growing quietly over the past few years, and seeing people connect with its little details has meant a lot to me. The new trailer is now live, and I’d love for you to give it a look. [/p][p][/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p]I’m also excited to share that the full game is planned for the 16th of April, 2026. There’s still more work to be done, but it’s finally becoming the version I’ve always imagined. I can't wait for you to see the finished product.[/p][p][/p][p]You might also notice a few changes around here. The Steam page has been fully updated, and I’m becoming much more active on social platforms as well. That’s largely thanks to Kinephantom, who’ve been helping with the marketing, communication, and all those bits so that I can stay focused on the part that matters most, building the actual game. 
[/p][p]Don’t worry, the devlogs, memes, and comments you see online are still all me. 
[/p][p]For anyone discovering the game for the first time, ShantyTown is a calm, atmospheric builder about creating improvised neighbourhoods in tight spaces. You stack shops, tuck gardens onto rooftops, and build in ways that simply feel right to you. Imperfection is part of the game, so you do you. [/p][p][/p][p][/p][carousel][/carousel][p][/p][p]Thank you for being here—whether you’ve followed since the early days or have just stumbled across the game now. Your support continues to mean more than you might think.[/p][p][/p][p]More updates soon![/p][p][/p][p]Erik[/p][p]
