Now, after a long time of waiting, play✱ers will finally have the chancﷺe to play a  on May 30.

Tiny Glade features abs🌌olutely no combat, no story, and no goals. The game is based entirely on gridless buildings and features what might be the most fluid building style I’ve witnessed in any game. Placing down paths automatically creates archways in walls, windows can be added wherever🔴 you like and actually, adapt to alterations you make to your design, and outside of the building, you can pet the animals. 

Not o🍷nly will you be able to create buildings, but you can mess with the to create virtual dioramas of whatever you can think up, from huge sprawling castles with circular towers to tiny cottages secreted in the woodland of the Glade.

The coding side of Tiny Glade development is down to a duo in the shape of and , who have an impressive history working in game development with the likes of Electronic Arts and Creative Assembly🤪. Early on into the design process, Anastasia shared a video on TikTok which garnered over 9 million views and a million likes, leading the duo to spend more time on the project. 

The demo will feature one of the five Glades which will be eventually available when the full game releases later this year, The Summer Glade. However, only a small portion of the full Glade’s building space will be available during the demo. There is also a newly added photo mode which will be available during the d🌠emo, and I can’t wait to see the designs that players can comes up with. 

As you can probably tell, I’ve been waiting for this game for a long time now and can’t wait to dive in on May 30 to test the limits available within the Tiny Glade demo.
