Demo Patch 1.3 is now live!

Hello, lovely tiny gladers! This time we're adding some improvements to our game onboarding experience 👩‍🏫👨‍🏫

[h3]Onboarding[/h3]

* Added a contextual hint about undo/redo. Now the first time you erase or bulldoze a wall, a small hint will pop-up telling you the key bindings (to make it go away simply press undo to complete the tutorial).

* Changed slightly the starting build in Summer glade, and added two new starter build variants. Each acts as a collection of hints of what's possible inside the game. Now whenever you make a new glade, you will get one of these 👇 (rather than always a wall with archways). Hopefully this will spark a chain of delightful discoveries, or serve as a starting point for a new build :3

[h3]Misc[/h3]

* (Linux) Fixed camera rotation bug (where the camera would rotate in an unpredictable way)

Aaaaaand we continue to investigate startup crashes. If you’re still experiencing issues with the game crashing for you on launch, please check our troubleshooting guide and if the game still doesn't work, please let us know!

Tiny Glade is a gorgeous castle-doodling game that's real clever to relax with

Tiny Glade from Pounce Light arrives later this year and there's now a demo available. It's worth checking out, if you like games to fully relax with that have no actual goals.

Demo Patch 1.2.1 is now live!

Hi folks! A small follow-up patch fixing a few crashes and streamlining graphics error reporting 👩‍🔧👩‍🔧

Fixed game crashes:

Rebinding to a key we didn't have a string for. Now, instead of crashing the game, rebinding to a non-recognized key will display "???" (but will still allow you to rebind to it).
Sometimes going to the main menu while hovering over a gizmo was causing a crash.
Sometimes when placing a window or a lantern, the dormer roof assembly system couldn't get information about how that window or lantern was being transformed, given the context of its environment, and it made it everyone else's problem! How inconsiderate!

Clarified graphics initialization error reporting:

The graphics initialization error screen now uses the same format as the graphics card selection screen, and is easier to read
Graphics initialization failure is no longer reported as a crash, but instead includes a few troubleshooting tips.

Improved graphics card selection screen

(Windows) The missing NVIDIA graphics cards have been found. We've noticed that sometimes players have faulty Vulkan graphics drivers. When this occurs, other games might work fine if they use Direct3D, but Tiny Glade couldn't see any cards using those drivers. We now use DXGI (DirectX Graphics Infrastructure) to find the missing cards, and report that their drivers need to be reinstalled.
Replaced the thinking sheep emoji with a game banner, as some players reported the that the sheep looked shady

(and yea, we've just noticed the "your your" here 😅)

Thank you for sending us crash reports! 💚 They've been very helpful in identifying these issues.

P.S. We've noticed that Twitch Studio overlay prevents the game from starting on some Intel cards. We're still figuring out a workaround, but meanwhile, disabling the overlay or uninstalling Twitch Studio should help.

Aaaaaand we continue to investigate startup crashes. If you’re still experiencing issues with the game crashing for you on launch, please check our troubleshooting guide and if the game still doesn't work, please let us know!
