Who is in the town
Every project with a building in indie.town. Each one is a plot somebody took and put their own name on; walking up to it in the town itself shows the same thing in three dimensions, with the building they chose standing on it.
1 of 60 plots taken, 59 still free.
Taking one
There are 59 plots left, and the ones that are not left do not stay taken for ever. A plot is let by the week — one payment for between one and 4 weeks, nothing that renews and no card kept — and when the weeks run out the building comes down and the plot is anybody’s again. What they cost is on the pricing page, and what you are buying is on the terms page.
