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.
Happy #ChineseNewYears everyone!
I'm building on theme little neighborhoods in my solo-developed indie game ShantyTown :)

Billboards don't need to be perfectly placed. Sometimes, they just need complete visibility.

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