Developer plays Tiny Glade Demo

Beep boop apparently we need an event to add side banners to our stream πŸ‘Ό

The footage is a pre-recorded loop of me (Ana) building two 15-minute'ish dioramas, where I show the tools and some building tips & tricks. I hope you like it and maybe pick up a few techniques πŸ˜„

These are the two scenes 🏑🏰





We will be available in chat for questions during the Steam Next Fest stream. See you then!

Love,

Demo Patch 1.4 BETA is now live!

TL;DR: Help us test a beta that might fix startup issues. Beta: "graphics-init2". Let us know if this fixes/introduces startup crashes or issues with other apps πŸ’•

Hey y'all! Some of you have been unable to launch Tiny Glade due to startup crashes πŸ₯Ί Many of those were due to outdated or faulty drivers, and reinstalling the drivers helped πŸ₯³

We've been chasing the other crashes, and very often it turns out to be some overlay application, FPS counter, or video capture thing. Those apps inject themselves into Tiny Glade, and cause crashes. Due to buggy uninstallers, sometimes they break our game long after they've been uninstalled from your systems. Other games might still work for you, but games using Vulkan are likely all affected.

We've been selectively blocking those rogue apps, but their list just keeps growing, and we can't keep up πŸ˜… This is why we've decided to block everything by default, with the exception of OBS and Valve's software. Worry not, you'll still have the option to re-enable what you need.

(Also please note that we're not modifying any of your programs - we're only asking the graphics driver not to inject all those extensions into Tiny Glade)

We're going to roll this out soon, but we'd love if you could help us test it. What we're looking for is whether this helped you with any crash. And if the default demo runs for you, but this beta crashes, please let us know as soon as possible πŸ™πŸ’š Oh, and please also poke us if this causes Tiny Glade not to cooperate with some major video recording or broadcasting software.

To opt in to this beta, right-click Tiny Glade Demo in your Steam Library, select Properties, and then under Betas, choose "graphics-init2 - test blocking Vulkan hooks". If the beta is not visible, you may need to restart Steam.
You should see "DEMO v.1.4.0 BETA" in the top-right corner of your screen while running this beta.

Love,
Tom & Ana

Demo Patch 1.3.1 is now live!

Hello! Here comes a tiny patch:

* Undo/redo tutorial popup now goes away after 10 seconds
* Tutorial popups are now hidden when in photo mode
* Discord button should now correctly appear next to the Wishlist button in the main menu once you've reached 10 minutes of active playtime. (the bug was very embarrassing, I was accidently counting the duration of -tutorials- being displayed to you, not how long you've been playing. Apologies! πŸ˜… - Ana)

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!

Demo Patch 1.3 is now live!

Hello, lovely tiny gladers! This time we're adding some improvements to our game onboarding experience πŸ‘©β€πŸ«πŸ‘¨β€πŸ«

[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 πŸ‘‡ (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!
