The world of city-building games is about to get a pleasant surprise, as the accomplished publisher, Kwalee, and the well-regarded developer, Galaxy Grove, responsible for the acclaimed game Station to Station, are poised to vindicate fans’ anticipation with a distinguished title, Town to City. Designed to convey the charm of developing a quaint 19th-century Mediterranean town into a prosperous city, this exceedingly immersive game will be available for PC through Steam by 2025.
Galaxy Grove’s founder, Joost van Dongen, expressed his exhilaration at this union with Kwalee, describing their shared enthusiasm for re-engineering the city building game model. Joost remarks that Kwalee’s faith in their vision and distinguished proficiency in in-house publishing were invaluable in birthing this ambitious project. With an official trailer now released, the team is eager to embark on a shared journey of finalizing and launching the game.
Expressing reciprocal sentiments, Ben Forrester, Kwalee’s Vice President of PC and Console Games, praised Town to City as an exceptional addition to their lineup of games. He credited the competent Galaxy Grove team for their ingenuity and articulated his eagerness to aid in the realization of their vision for Town to City.
Town to City offers an exciting proposition—a grid-defying city builder that fuses beauty with bustling community life. The game awards players the liberty to craft a vibrant cityscape replete with houses, shops, environmental features, and amenities that charm settlers and prompt others to join. Players can aspire to broaden their influence with growing populations by creating multiple towns that either stand alone or symbiotically thrive with others, enhancing regional development and prosperity.
Whether in story mode or sandbox mode, players can pursue their architectural dreams at a leisurely pace, designing each exterior and interior with meticulous attention, or focusing on a thriving economy and guiding their nascent town into a bustling city.
Unbind from the constraints of traditional schematics with Town to City’s truly gridless design tool. Plan organized housing rows and city districts or apply an organic approach with winding boulevards connecting homes, parks, plaza, and amenities.
Moreover, the game encourages creativity, offering a wide range of aesthetic possibilities. Players can festoon their town with lighting, floral decorations, verdant parks, or various building decorations. The beautiful backdrop of voxel graphics makes for a delightful building experience and a picturesque cityscape for players to capture via the game’s photo mode.
Watch as your town comes alive with a flourishing population. Cater to everyone in your town—from workers to artisans and the affluent—and heed individual residents’ specialized requests. Over time, observe how newcomers find their footing, form families, and settle into the homes you’ve crafted.
As your township expands, assign jobs, conduct research to unlock new building styles and decorations, and spur economic growth. As boundaries extend beyond your initial town, explore new ventures in agriculture and tourism by establishing other participating towns, all connected by trade and travel pathways.
