Towns brings a fresh new take on the citybuilding/management genre by introducing many RPG features.

Drawing inspiration from games such as Diablo, Dungeon Keeper and Dwarf Fortress, the game has you managing a settlement on top of an active dungeon.  Instead of playing the hero who delves deep into the dungeon, how about playing the town that houses and caters to the hero's needs?

Both the RPG and strategic aspects will be fleshed out over a series of sprawling dungeons.

Craft unique weapons, obtain randomized loot and build a settlement capable of holding back the forces that come up from the depths!

Towns 0.46 has been released!

We are pleased to announce that the heroes, formerly known as cannon fodder, are now each a powerhouse to be reckon with. They will level up, they will explore unknown lands and they will turn weretigers into cute pigs!

Adding to the growing list of the heroes is the new elven archer, who's aim is sharper than his ears, and the mage, who master the darkest secrets of the morphing spells.

The highlander, a brave hero from the hills and snowy mountains will turn into a menancing bear ready to punch down any enemy dare to stand against him.

The barbarian, those fierce fighters will taunt nearby enemies and force them to attack him.

The short tempered dwarf will enrage himself into becoming a raging killing machine.

The thief, cunning cultists, will poison their targets and make them die slowly and painfully.

The knights, honorable and ready for battle, will raise their ally attack and damage stats.

Sips, the campmaker, will invite over his most loyal minion, Sadon, to aid him in the battle.

Sir Punchwood, the noble, will grant a defense aura to all those accompany him.

We hope you will enjoy seeing heroes die or prevail the horror that awaits them beneath your towns.

You can see the complete 0.46 changelog here.

If you are using Windows, open a console (Start/run -> type cmd) and in the opened console type:
java -version

Seems like your system have an old Java in the path

Oh I didn't looked at the error. It seems that the native library (the .dll) that we use to draw things is not the one that we distribute with the package. Maybe you have any old LWJGL in the path?

Well, it seems that other Java game that works with LWJGL (like ours) registered his native dlls (or just placed it in your path). So, when Towns try to load his own .dlls the system is giving it the old ones. Sadly this is an issue in your system.
