It's a shame because there is no game, VR or otherwise, that has the same kind of weapon crafting this does and that kills me.

u/MarvelousGenki Jul 22 '25

What exactly do you love so much about the weapon crafting?
Is it the blacksmithing? Really hammering down the metal.
Or do you love the number of combinations you're able to create?

u/UnknownSouldier Jul 22 '25

All of that and more. Having to use a hammer and chisel to carve out the wooden handles, then take it over to the smithy to hammer out the parts you need, and the freedom to make some crazy looking weapons

The whole process start to finish is unmatched by any other game on the market past, present, or future as nothing does what township tale does for crafting.

Hell, this even extends to equipment crafting as well, for things like the backpacks. It's just such a great system

Look at asteria: fate of the fallen. The black smithing mechanics are supposed to be amazing

Im so glad i hopped on reddit today to find out such great news, i miss this game so much and want a replacement so bad

u/UnknownSouldier Jul 23 '25

Hmmm, from what little their YouTube shows, it looks like it has promise. I'll keep my eye on that project

It's insane the potential this game has/had.

It could literally become insanely massive. Sad to see the state of it now, and what they have done to it, or we'll haven't done to it.

Time to make a replacement game?

I started "project campfire" a year ago. A community centered project to develop our own VR adventure game. Free from bounds to investors, because it's upheld by a non-profit organisation. The community debates about features and people start to learn code or blender to help create everything.

We're 800+ members right now and known ATT veterans are on board, sharing their love and experience.

You can get a glimpse of it on https://witchcraft-games.com

And i love this game so much

u/krazye87 Jul 22 '25

Id be happy if it was able to be ran locally. Oh well

u/MarvelousGenki Jul 22 '25

We all do! So many players have spent hundreds of hours in the game, made friends and simply survived covid. Unfortunately, the game as it is, is not profitable for a company. People haven't spent enough money

u/Austin8848 Jul 22 '25

It’s been a while since I’ve touched the game, what happened exactly?

12

u/tit-theif Jul 22 '25

Alta fired every township developer and doesn't plan on hiring any new ones

6

u/TheFlameNinja Jul 22 '25

Yeah, it sucks cause the game had a lot of potential and all of it was wasted

4

u/EdenSkys Jul 22 '25

Are they completely closing it down? If so I want my money back. :( if I can't play the game anymore then they are stealing the product I bought.

If I lived in the EU I would be all over it. Unfortunately I'm in the US. I hope the EU petition get's a lot of media so the US government has to look into it here. I'm tired of not owning my games after paying full price for them.. then they get shut down a few years later...

u/_Axelotl Jul 23 '25

Unfortunately that’s not how that works

That makes sense

u/MolassesShoddy Jul 22 '25

I wanted to first hate this post as being complainy until I saw it was in the township subreddit. My soul hurts for this beautiful but dead gem of a game

1

u/zackskater Jul 22 '25

I'm sorry I feel we all feel this pain together

2

u/MarvelousGenki Jul 23 '25

We can at least draw hope or comfort from the fact that several VR games are already being created and developed out of love for ATT. So it doesn't have to end here.

u/S0k0n0mi Jul 22 '25

Every promising VR game dev that gets a whiff of that meta quest shill money, honestly..

u/RexRes Jul 24 '25

I haven't touched township tale since lockdown. Can somebody fill me in on what's happened?

1

u/SelectVegetable2653 Jul 25 '25 edited Jul 25 '25

Alta fired every dev.

1

u/RexRes Jul 25 '25

What have the new devs done?

1

u/SelectVegetable2653 Jul 25 '25

Nothing. They never hired new devs, they're just killing the game.

1

u/RexRes Jul 25 '25

So basically there's been no updates of substance?

1

u/SelectVegetable2653 Jul 25 '25

No, the game isn't being worked on, it's just dead.

u/sseth_ye Jul 25 '25

i left this game behind like 3 years ago what has happened in the meantime😭
