## What is Gastown?

Gastown is a small colony game set in Vancouver. Command a crew of colonists, gather food and materials, and build a town between Burrard Inlet and False Creek.

Your colonists only do what you tell them. Point them at a node and they keep gathering until you call them off. Machines do the rest: generators make power, drills sit on nodes and mine on their own, and shelters make room for new recruits who join each day.

The goal is one thing: raise the Gastown Steam Clock. Stock enough materials and power, build it, and you win.

Three resources. Four buildings. No idle timers, no ads, no autoplay.

## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 2.0.0 — 2026-11-02

A new game. The city is Vancouver, the rules are simpler, and the goal is the Steam Clock: three resources, a few buildings, colonists that follow your orders and machines that work on their own. Saves from 1.x do not carry over.

### 1.1.0 — 2026-10-06

You can win now. Survivors join when you have a bed and food. Click a survivor, click the ground or a resource to send them. Buildings need materials or they break. Scavengers raid every third night unless someone is on patrol. New splash screen, bigger sprites, clearer tutorial.

### 1.0.1 — 2026-09-10

Colonists now actually gather resources. Materials and cash grow past the starting stock, so the colony can be built out and won.

### 1.0.0 — 2026-09-09

No release notes.
