Tiny Glade DEMO is out 🏰✨ + new photomode UI & mode 📸
Tiny Glade Demo has been released into the wild 🎉🎉🎉 and is now available for everyone to try!
We couldn’t resist, and we've revamped the photo mode UI for mooarrrr pretty pictures ദ്ദി ˉ͈̀꒳ˉ͈́ )✧ We’ve also added a mode that makes everything look suuuuper tiny 🏠️🤏
(new photomode UI)
Small note about fences: you might have seen our old GIFs where brick walls turn into fences when intersected with paths. During our playtests we noticed it was hard to use, thus we have moved fences into their own tool and are still iterating on the design. They will come back in the full version of the game!
Bug reports 🐛
* Since we’re still actively working on the game, you likely will encounter bugs here and there 🐛😄. Hopefully most major things we’ve caught during the playtests, but if you notice anything weird, we’d be grateful if you report it via our in-game feedback tool summoned with F6 or an icon with the exclamation mark in a speech bubble 🙏
Feedback 📝
* You are also welcome to share your thoughts and suggestions via our in-game feedback tool (same as with bug reports). Please bear in mind that we probably won’t implement your suggestions literally, as we’re always balancing many factors 🤹
How long will the demo last?
* The demo will be up throughout Cozy & Family Friendly Games Celebration and Steam Next Fest. So.. *checks calendar* at least until June 17th!
Can I play on my Steam Deck?
* Tiny Glade Demo doesn’t have controller support. While you technically can launch the game, it will be a very clunky experience and we recommend waiting for official support.
Does it run on Linux?
* Yes! If you’re a Linux user, we recommend disabling Proton, as we ship native builds. Wayland on Linux is not supported yet.
Apple Silicon support 🍏
* Right now, Tiny Glade is planned for Windows and Linux. We've done some early tests of the game running on a MacBook Pro M1, but it needs a lot more work, and since neither Tom or I are proficient with the Apple development, we've decided to revisit it after the 1.0 launch on PC.
Streaming 🎬
* Quick tip: if you're streaming or making a video, you don't have to mute the music 🎶
Since we’re a very small team handling all the things (Ana & Tom + our lovely composer Oda and sound designer Martin), our responsiveness might be limited based on how many things we're juggling at the moment 🤹♀️🤹♂️ However, we try to read every comment 💗 and we will definitely be spying on all of your creations 👀🤩 If you post on Twitter, feel free to tag us @PounceLight or mention #TinyGlade. We'd love to see what you make!
Anyhoo, I think that’s all!
We hope you have a good time with the demo and it brings a smile to your face.
PS: if you're experiencing issues with launching the game, please check this troubleshooting guide.
Love,
Tom, Ana, Oda & Martin
