    The way I would define a game is you're *extrinsically* rewarded or punished for certain specific actions performed in the game itself.
    In walking sims you get more story or maybe different content, in sandbox tycoon games you get or lose money, in puzzle games you get more puzzles.
    Townscaper doesn't have rewards or punishments. You don't get anything other than an *intrinsic* satisfaction of having made something, much like a toy (like LEGO).

    "I would love a house you have to climb a ladder to get into" . Wait a few years Jon until your knees start to go, you'll think that was the dumbest idea in the history of human thought. I'm only 10 years older than you and I already don't even want to live in a house that has stairs.

    This is getting more and more popular, I hope it will be developed more, maybe with some proper game modes
    Btw, I recently started playing Witcher 1 and also watched your series about it. I was sceptical initially, so many negative things about it, but it turned out pretty nice. I would love to see you come back to Witcher series, maybe on livestreams or something

    I did felt like Bad North!
    Also, next time try spreading the colours horizontally, not vertically, it gives a more organized feel and pops up the buildings better.
