You Asked for more Cozy - So we Built a Town!

Need a place to rest after a round of hauling crops? Looking to upgrade and unlock new towers and abilities? Want to relax with some cute critters? Then the Town is just for you!

Welcome back as this month we are sharing our latest big update: The Town!

The Town

The Town is in ruins after a raid from the Trash Panda Posse. Aid the mayor and rebuild the Town from the ground up! Boost the morale of the townsfolk with the crops that you have hauled from your run. Doing so will unlock new features, new friendly critters, stores, towers and crops as the Town comes back to life!

Art for the Town

We had a lot of fun designing what the town would look like. Take a sneak peak at some of the art. Here are a few sample concepts of town assets!

Quests!

In the Town, you can talk, find and accept quests from townsfolk. Discover how you can be of help. There's much to do in this rebuilding season!

Additionally, we are introducing our dialogue system. Now you can interact and talk with other friendly animals!

Quest Tracking

We are currently building a method to track quests. Here is a concept of the Journal, a feature that will allow you to keep track of what quests you are working towards and quests that you have finished.
