Welcome to Go-Go Town, the quirky town-building sim where you’re thrust into the job of mayor. You’re dumped into a derelict town to restore it. It’s going to take a lot of work, too. There are homes to build, shops to stock, and residents to recruit. With the right tools and a can-do attitude, though, you can achieve a top-rated town! Discover the joys of delegation and automation as you build this place up from scratch. Decorate, explore, design, and more!

1.0 Released The Other Day

Go-Go Town has finally left early access as of July 16th. With this 1.0 release, the game’s content has also expanded SO much. There’s also been a long list of fixes and overall improvements to help your game stay fun. If you’ve been waiting for a good time to pick up this super fun game, now’s the time. It’s even on sale until July 30th. 

The new Creative Mode allows you to flex your decorative muscles. Go crazy plotting how you want your town laid out without the stress of collecting materials or paying for schematics. In Story Mode, there’s a new Treasure Hunting system. As you go about your day building and exploring, you can discover artifacts, fish, gems, relics, and fossils. You can then display your favorite finds in Town Hall for all to see. It’s like filling the museums in all of your favorite cozy games! 

A new Tech Tree gives you the ability to rebuy items like decorations for the town when you’ve run out of them. Or even more tools for the industry areas, too. They just all cost more EGO points, which accumulate pretty quickly anyway. Town rankings also offer rewards at each tier and no longer have time requirements, making the game far cozier and more relaxing. Maintenance workers will collect loose items sitting on the ground and stow them away in Lost and Found. There’s even a new pest to deal with. Garbirds, which look like the pelican’s more chaotic cousin, will root through the town trash cans. Not only do they cause a mess, but they scare tourists. Deal with them or they’ll stick around losing you business.

Also in Go-Go Town is a new tutorial. It carefully shows you all the basics of how to play the game by explaining and having you do the thing. It’s great for a more-hands on learning approach, which we love. Plus, there are sprinklers for easier farm plot watering. Parking garages improve the vehicle storage situation. There’s also achievements to earn and a new Trinket shop fitout. The new Import app lets you buy anything you want, too. Need a new vehicle? A single tomato? Import it! And if you’re interested in all the nitty gritty details of all the 1.0 bug fixes and design changes, check out the patch notes on Steam. It’s a massive list. 

What’s Next?

Don’t think just because 1.0 has been released, that the developers are done with the game. In fact, they’re far from it! They released a roadmap with the news of the 1.0 release, saying their next major update will include more bug fixes, QOL improvements, and something about a tool wheel for tools anywhere. After that, we can look forward to more ways to play in co-op, musical instruments, vehicle customization, new vehicles, and trailer upgrades for more vehicle carrying capacity. After that, who knows! The developers are open to ideas, so send them some feedback if there’s something you’d like to see. Until then, grab Go-Go Town on Steam or Nintendo Switch 1 and 2 while it’s on sale and have a ton of fun!
