Good day, folks! It’s time to bring a new update 💌 We’ve been hard at work prepping the demo of Tiny Glade, and I’m happy to say that… it will be available on May 30th 🙌 Wooop! It’ll stay up throughout Steam Next Fest in June, and perhaps for a week or two after - we shall see once when we get there 😄
Meanwhile, let me show you a sneak peek:
In the demo, you will be able to play in the summer glade - one of the five glades we’ll have in the final version, and this is the toolset that will be at your disposal 🎨
The demo will be accompanied by four beautiful tracks composed by Oda Tilset. The tracks adapt to time of day, and how built-up your glade is 🎶🧙♂️ (You can listen to the WIP album on bandcamp for free).
Below you can see the area that will be available in the demo (the circle in the middle where the yellow cottage is) VS the full game’s buildable space (dashed white line):
Thanks to the optimizations that Tom’s been doing, we’ve actually increased the total buildable area by almost 2x from what we’ve been showing before 💪 (not so tiny Tiny Glade anymore? 😁).
After we’ve expanded the map boundaries, the scenery started to feel a tad empty on the borders. So we added distant hills, clouds ⛅, sun 🌞, and a dramatic moon 🌛 (vampire castles on cliffs anyone?)
Building grander castles is definitely a possibility now 🙌
We’ve also added a highly-requested feature: photo mode 📸 - making it easier to take dramatic or close-up shots, or position your camera juuuuust the way you want it :3
The photo mode also prompted us to update our Steam page with new screenshots 💅
(Shout out to pewpew and Ana's mom for three of these images 💚)
We can’t wait for you to sample what we’ve been cooking 👩🍳👨🍳 30th of May, let’s do this!
Love,
Ana & Tom
