10 Best Tiny Glade builds shared by players of the hit cozy game

Tiny Glade has been a phenomenon in the cozy gaming sphere. After the demo was released as part of Steam Next Fest back in June, developers PounceLight were overwhelmed as they reached a staggering one million wishlists. 

The cozy building game got its full release on September 23, and play💟ers have been sharing some incredible builds in the time since. As an avid player myself, I’ve had the joy of seeing builds inspired by the daily theme, as well as oth🅺er, more extravagant or technically challenging designs. 

I’d consider myself very much a part of the Tiny Glade community, and while I can’t show off my own builds here (they’ve got nothing on the designs you’re about to see, anyway), I can show you 10 of the best builds I’ve seen since Tiny Glade was rele🌳ased. You might even recogn🃏ize some of them.

Spirited Away bathhouse

Let’s kick things off with this incredible rendition of the , made by Stan616_. Every layer seen on this beautiful replication is an individual building block, and the colors and design are so spot on to the source material. The use of windows to cause a sense of size is inspired, and I can imagine the spirit𒈔s wandering in and out of the doors. 

Laputa from Castle in the Sky

Sticking with the Studio Ghibli theme, as there are a lot of truly incredible Ghibli-esque builds floating around, is truly mind boggling. I’d like to point out how difficult it is to create floating platforms in Tiny Glade, with even the smallest movement of a platform causing stilts to pop out of the bottom. The fact that Thelkana managed to create such an intricateꦫly layered platform is testament to their in-game design skills. 

Castle town with train tracks

Aꦰs far as I can tell, takes inspiration from nothing except the mind of its creator, and it’s truly beautiful. Pay attention to the train t🐭racks in the bottom left, which are very difficult to create and are a true display of out-of-the-box thinking. The towering Japanese style temple to the right is also impressive, with each layer consisting of far more pieces than they first appear to be. 

Port Merrick

I’ve seen a few different recreations of Sea of Thieves’ Port Merrick, but definitely stands out as the best of them. Despite the limitations of Tiny Glade, this depiction is true to the source material and the flags are perfectly placed. Although there are no people in Tiny Glade, I can imagine pirates sauntering around this build w𝐆ith very little effort. 

Defence Against the Dark Arts classroom

I’d like to preface this entry by pointing out that Tiny Glade is absolutely not designed for the construction of interior spaces. It’s meant for building buildings, not decorating the individual rooms. With that in mind, this recreation of the from Harry Potter becomes even more impressivඣe. Each of the tables is actually a series of perfectly👍 sized gates, but the floor is also made of those same gates. This build is a technical marvel, and it never fails to impress me. 

Flying Ship

I mentioned before that floating platforms are incredibly difficult to achieve in Tiny Glade, but noxlotl has absolutely perfected the art of making them. They have created hot air balloons, pirate ships, a﷽nd a long list of other technically brilliant builds, but of all their creations. With roofs as sails, countless blocks used to create the ship itself, and a flag-line anchor, this ship is truly inspirational. 

Train crossing from Howl’s Moving Castle

Although it lacks the black smoke that can be seen in the Ghibli movie, this faithful recreation of the by Berry Shortca💎ke is a marvel. Why? Because not only have they managed to capture the feeling of the town around the tracks, but they’ve also built a train, which is one hell of an achievement in itself. The angle of this image is spot on, as well, which a🐭dds to the magic. 

The Wizard’s Tower from Stardew Valley

Most of the builds I’ve included on this list have been extravagant and technic💦ally challenging, so this one ꦫmay stand out due to its simplicity. However, what stands out about this by Jessicat is how utterly recognizable it is. You don’t need to be told what inspired this to tell where it came from, and it’s so true to the source that it stands out from the crowd without being overly complicated. 

Town with a crosswalk and traffic lights

Tiny Glade isn’t designed to build modern settings. All of the building styles are very traditional, almost bordering on medieval, and that makes modern style builds very challenging. This builder took this challenge and completely flipped it on itself, designing this complete with not only a crosswalk (made using differently colored walls that are barely visible), but also ♓traffic lights. There’s even a car in the back, which is staggering on its own. 

Dolorian Church of Humanity in Martinaise from Disco Elysium

Despite being a small💞 build, this recreation of the is something that brought something to the attention of a lot of players. The use of small windows and arrow slits on the back wall to recreate the stained glass design is absolutely inspired, and although it may not be perfect, the beauty of this build lays in the creativity used to create it.
