Hi, I'm Erik! I'm a solo dev making weird videogames like Kainga: Seeds of Civilization and now ShantyTown; a relaxing diorama builder where you craft vibrant, cozy city scenes.
Studio Ghibli fans rise up!
If you want to build your own version of these fantastic buildings, you can try out our ShantyTown demo on Steam for free.

Set the slider to your preferred time of day. Building in the quiet dark hits different compared to the soft mornings in ShantyTown.

Upgrading will complete the look of the building. But! Having some simple ones, here and there, give's a soothing look as well.
