Check out another relaxing game
the GameBuild quaint island towns with curvy streets, small hamlets, soaring cathedrals, canal networks, or sky cities on stilts. Build the town your dreams, block by block.
No goal. No real gameplay. Just plenty of building and plenty of beauty. That’s it.
Townscaper is an experimental passion project. More of a toy than a game. Pick colors from the palette, plop down colored blocks of houses on the irregular grid, and watch Townscaper’s underlying algorithm automatically turn those blocks into cute little houses, arches, stairways, bridges, and lush backyards, depending on their configuration.

Definitely recommend for a few hours of relaxed plop-plopping the town of dream
But it lacks streetlights, like they would've been a gamechanger, with adding a bit of a dynamic and/or regular lightning works. Also, a little coloring tool would be good, to use on the already existing structures.

Amazing. Soothing and a cure for anxiety. Only suggestion is adding LIFE to the towns!
Have people populate the areas! show them moving around, going places, pause, and chat, then move along, etc. let there be PEOPLE!

Calling it a 'game' might be a stretch, but it is literally what it says on the tin: "Instant town building toy", with no further depth beyond that.
Well-executed and meditative building sandbox, if one tiny in scale.
Pretty much the equivalent of just going through a box of random Lego pieces and bumbling your way into making *something*.

"No goal. No real gameplay. Just plenty of building and plenty of beauty. That's it."
The devs are extremely honest and for the price it is a really cute time-killer.

Honestly?
One of the best Steam products I've gotten.
Sure, it's not quite a "game" per se, rather being a toy to make cities on an ocean, but it's still pretty damn awesome.
A few ideas I'd add to the game:
1. Recording a .gif or .mp4 of the town rotating/seeing the sun rise and set on the town.
2. Adding actual night so you can see the town during the nighttime, not sunset (still looks pretty)
3. Improving the .obj export to give you a model and texture that looks exactly like the game.
That's all.
Thanks for reading.

Townscaper is a cute, idyllic game that with no clear end goal. There's cute environmental details that can only be discovered as you gradually build more. While I appreciate the game for what it is, it feels somewhat unfinished and underdeveloped. I wouldn't recommend the game if you're looking for an in depth experience, or if you want complete creative control. The grid for building is strange and hard to understand and work with, causing most of your builds and creations to have strange corners and jagged lines. I wouldn't call it a sandbox, nor would I say it's really about building, it's more of an experimental experience that encourages you to just relax and enjoy the "vibes." I've played for about 2 hours since I bought it, and I would definitely recommend purchasing the game when it goes on sale rather than for fully price.

A cozy sandbox builder where you build cozy towns in a sea. There's not much to say, it's somewhat minimalist, as while there are a variety of special props and terrain elements to discover, they spawn only under specific geometry and not freely, so you're mostly just placing different colour blocks in this one. If you have the imagination and passion for creating environments, this will be your thing for some time. Otherwise? Not really. Personally I found it pretty stimulating to fiddle with.
Comes with an fbx exporter so I guess you can use it as a level editor for a small game or 3D print your low-poly landscapes?
