"TownsFolk Unveils Major Update with New Mechanics, Structures, and Compendium"

Short Circuit Studio has unveiled an exciting new update for TownsFolk, their recently launched settlement builder game. Embracing the darker ambiance of this charming pixel-art adventure, the update titled "Shadows and Fortune" introduces a wealth of new mechanics to enrich your gameplay experience.

Even though TownsFolk is fresh on the scene, this update doesn't shy away from deepening the game's core with new buildings and challenges. Expect to encounter roaming Barbarians that will heighten the tension in your campaign missions and Skirmish mode. Additionally, eight new structures will diversify your settlement: the Altar, the Town Square, the Blacksmith, the Aqueduct, the Bank, the Granary, the Factory, and the Terraformer.

Water tiles are getting an intriguing update with the introduction of the rare Whale, adding a splash of excitement to your seas. Special Locations such as ancient Obelisks and new Shipwrecks will further enhance the unpredictability of your world.

To help you navigate these new additions, the handy Compendium serves as an in-game encyclopedia, ensuring you stay on top of everything. The Exploration System has also been revamped, and Campaign Difficulties can now be adjusted between Frontier and Survival modes, offering a tailored challenge for every player.
