Sometimes I want to play a video game, and sometimes I just want to assemble a quiet little Dutch town with iron bridges, fountains and dinky trams bustling about like bumble bees. The project in question isTramstertram. Aside from being a terrifying feat of punmanship, it’s a browser-based building toy from Matt Stark, creator of thereally rather lovely Viewfinder.
Tramstertram comes with a small selection of prefabricated towns, including a fourth map that gives away the alchemy behind the tile combinations, and the ability to copy-and-paste a world code to share your creation. If you’re not so keen on trams, Stark has extensive prior for this kind of thing. He’s made similar building toys involvingtreehouses,fishtanks, andmining carts.
Nice note to end the week on, I think? If you need a bit more meat on these bones, keep an eye out for the “whimsigoth” cottage builderTiny Glade, due for release this year - Kieraloved it.
