Hi.

The bug has been fixed and Towns 0.30 it's ready to download.

Sorry for inconveniences.

Towns 0.30 gameplay (spanish with english subtitles)

Hi,

I just uploaded a new video playing the current Towns 0.30. It has spanish audio and english subtitles.
About the audio, I think that my microphone it's too close. I'll fix that in next ones.

Hope you like it.

First Alpha 0.30 video

We have been hard at work this week as you can most likely see from this spanish Let's Play video.

We would like to let you all know that anyone who makes their own 10 minute Let's Play video on youtube will get their name as a citizen in the game, and our special thanks!

Have fun guys!

Oh, and 0.30 won't be out for another few days, we want to add a few surprises before releasing ;)

Hey everyone, Alexander Poysky here.

Hi everyone, my name is Alex Poysky. I'm going to be the new content manager and public relations guy here. I would like to take the chance to formally say hello, and let you all know that within the next week the game will be updated with a slew of new as-of-yet unmentioned changes, as well as a good deal of new content.

Once we roll out the next patch, the following two will probably be content only, which is what the majority of you have been clamoring for since day 1!

On a side note, please feel free to follow us on our facebook channel http://www.facebook.com/groups/283334488362764/

Remember, the more support we get, the more motivated we will be!

Have a great weekend everyone!

Content manager wanted

Hi,

Towns engine it's pretty advanced but the game lacks of content.

What I need?
I need a person that can fill the game with content.

What I mean with "content"?
Well, I mean almost every single thing in Towns. Items, buildings, monsters, animals, campaign mode, ....
Of course, all that things must be balanced (the Megasword 4d20+80 it's not an option).


All requests will be taked into account.

Regards

Towns 0.25 released

Hi,

Towns 0.25 has been released.

Changelog
- Add: Campaign mode
- Add: Main menu options
- Add: Moddable dungeon generation
- Add: A mill, flour, new tree
- Change: Added [BLANKLINE] code to menu.xml
- Change: .xml generators cleaned (using "dice" function instead of varMin and varMax)
- Change: New folder for graphics
- Change: Separated textures for buildings, living entities and items
- Fix: Minor bug fixes and improvements

Notes
- The campaign mode content it's still in development. But modders can change anything they want.
- With the moddable dungeon generation modders now can decide at wich levels they want dungeons, and what kind of monsters appear in it.
- To build bread now it's necessary flour sacks. Flour can be obtained from the mill.

Hope you like it!
