Small Spaces News

It’s been a busy and exciting time, so I thought I’d take a moment to share what I’ve been working on behind the scenes. We’re getting closer and closer to the release of Small Spaces, and it’s been amazing to watch everything slowly come together!

Here’s a quick look at what’s been taking up most of my time recently during development:

• 🎨 Big material feature update — you’ll be able to paint entire walls and floors at once, and choose different color variations in the options menu.
  
• 🗂️ Better asset organization — all items are now sorted into subcategories, making it much easier to find exactly what you need.
  
• 🧵 New decoration assets — added some cozy sewing- and music-themed props for new level objectives.
  
• 🛒 Fully functioning shop system (unlock as you play) — as you progress through the game, you’ll gain access to new materials and decorations to expand your creative options.
  
• 🛋️ Modern Japanese furniture pack — 90 new items to use in your designs.
  
• 🪑 Scandinavian furniture pack — 75 new unique items, many with color variations.
  
• ✨ Redesigned the Berlin kit — all assets and levels have a fully fresh look.
  

And last but not least:

• 🛠️ Bug fixing — I’ve spent a lot of time fixing bugs and polishing things up to make sure everything runs just right 🥳
  

I can’t wait to share more updates soon as we get closer to launch!
Thanks so much for all your support — it truly keeps me going ❤️

I’m also happy to share that Small Spaces is taking part in the Polish Constitution Days. Check out some awesome games created or published by Polish studios :)

Talk to you again soon!

I’m excited to share some news! Small Spaces is taking part in Steam Next Fest! 🎉

To celebrate, I’ve released a new demo update with fresh content and improvements. If you haven’t checked it out yet, now is a great time to jump in.

[h3]What’s New in the Demo?[/h3]

🔹 Tokyo Level Rework
🔹 New Level Selection
🔹 Two New Levels – one for Tokyo and one for Berlin
🔹 Lots of smaller improvements and bugfixes

Just a small note: This update might cause some save games to stop working. Very sorry for that. It’s just caused by technical changes during the ongoing development.

Huge thanks to everyone for playing and for all the demo reviews! Don’t forget to share your thoughts – I’d love to hear what you think.

Enjoy Steam Next Fest! ✨

See you soon,
Niklas

Wishing you all a very Happy New Year and lots of good vibes for the Year of the Snake! 🐍

To celebrate, I’ve added a small update to the demo. You’ll find Chinese New Year decorations, like warm glowing lanterns, adding a festive and cozy vibe to your spaces. Hope you’ll like it!

Thank you so much for playing the demo and adding Small Spaces to your wishlists. It really means a lot to me.

Have fun exploring, and here’s to an amazing year ahead!

It’s been one month since the release of the Small Spaces demo and I am so excited about all the wonderful designs you’ve created and shared in the Small Spaces Discord!

To this day over 40,000 (!!!) people have played the Small Spaces demo and I am so excited you’ve been enjoying the game.

I’m taking all the feedback to heart and will now continue to work on the game to release it some time next year! (more details coming soon)

But before all that, I want to leave you with a small thank you - the Christmas update!

The Christmas update brings a tree, presents and other decorations to the game! I recommend to put your favorite Christmas music on and get cozy decorating a beautiful Christmas home
Enjoy the holidays and merry Christmas!
