ShantyTown News

Hello all!
As ShantyTown's development is in a pretty good spot, I've decided it's finally time to share the game, and more importantly, get player feedback!



[h2]Here's the deal:[/h2]
I'm going to grant access to the first 100 playtesters today! Those playtesters will only have access to the first 3 maps of the game to play as much as they want.

[h3]Every couple of weeks[/h3]
I'll add a few more people to the playtest alongside another map to try out as well as whatever new updates come with it. I'll keep you informed with what's included in each of those updates as they come.

[h3]If you didn't get access yet?[/h3]
Don't worry, there will be plenty of chances in the future!

[h3]Want to sign up for the playtest?[/h3]
You can on the Steam page:

[h3]Want to wait until the game is actually done?[/h3]
Great! Just hang around and I'll let you know when it's all ready for you :)

I'm really excited for this step, and looking forward to the feedback people can provide.
Thanks and speak soon!

I’ve been working on this project for about a year, and I’m excited to share it with you! ShantyTown is a relaxing cozy game, where you will create unique, colorful, atmospheric city blocks in an unusual land.

Since the very beginning of development I've been creating devlogs for ShantyTown. Here are the 2 most recent ones:

[h2]Sign Up for Playtesting Today![/h2]
Want to help ShantyTown reach its potential? Sign up to be a playtester today on the main Steam page.

As a playtester, you'll be one of the first to try the game and it gives you an opportunity to give critical feedback to bring the project to life. It is incredibly helpful to me as a developer to know what works, what doesn't work, what is fun, and what is not. I truly appreciate every bit of constructive feedback I receive from playtesters!
