How AI is used

There is no AI generated content in the game, and we don't use AI to generate content or assets for the game. During a previous playtest we found out that some assets from a third-party-pack from the marketplace, that we used in game as placeholders for icons, might have been created using generative AI, even though the seller did not explicitly state this. We removed these assets from the game just to be sure.

About Towns of Yore

Towns of Yore is a relaxing third-person city-builder situated on enchanting sky islands.

Manage resources, create ecosystems, and build a thriving environment for your cheerful and curious inhabitants. Plan, care, grow, and watch your fantasy town come to life!

Construct everything from modest homes to impressive landmarks.

Your town is made up of different types of buildings, each with its own purpose. Homes are the bread and butter of a happy workforce, while workstations are your main means of production. From farms (so your Eylanders can enjoy good food) to weaving mills (so they can look stylish), to more production-focused buildings like quarries, clay ponds, and woodcutters for raw resources which can then be funneled through workstations like the sawmill to refine them.

Gather resources and earn research points to unlock new workstations and upgrades.

Choose your research path carefully to shape how your town and production evolve. Trade goods for extra cash and spend it on decorations that boost both style and progression.

Shape a living, breathing network on your island.

Connect workstations, assign couriers, and build roads to optimalize your production chain and keep goods flowing smoothly. Fine-tune and automate your systems. Always keep in mind to make sure your Eylanders are well housed and fed, or your smooth operations may start to falter.

Build a lively town your inhabitants love to live in.

Adding cozy decorations, serving your Eylanders good food and making sure there is plenty of entertainment will all help to generate happiness. This happiness can be gathered and then spent to unlock new islands, expand the building area of your starting island and obtain new abilities. With enough to spare, you can even unlock fun Eylander hats or use it to unlock special events.

Have a great day and see you soon in Towns of Yore!
