Tiny Glade Getting Started Guide | Hints & Tips For Beginners

Tiny Glade is a beautiful box of digital lego where half of the fun is exploring what's possible... but here's some tips to get that exploration started!

Tiny Glade is a relaxing free-form building game. Tap into the joy of making something pretty with no management, no combat, or wrong answers - just kick back, doodle some castles, and turn forgotten meadows into lovable dioramas.

Explore gridless building chemistry, and watch the game carefully assemble every brick, pebble and plank. Draw a path through a wall? An arch pops up! Widen the arch? Pillars line up. Lower the wall? Arches turn into fences and gates.

There are no wrong answers or failure states. You can change your mind at any time, and whatever you make will look cozy out of the box.

Let yourself unwind to the chill vibes, and escape into a world that feels alive. Ivy envelops your buildings, sheep waddle through your paths, and fireflies light up the night.

I think this would be a 10/10 game only if there were people doing random stuff (washing clothes, planting things, kids playing etc) and the possibility to place a vegetable garden

Man I was already sold on buying this game after the first 2 minutes but then when he lifted the bottom of the building up to pull it off the ground, like that it put a big smile on my face. What a cool game!!

THE STEPS ON THE FLATTENED BUILDINGS HAVE CHANGED MY WORLDDDD

[TropicsDweller]

I love this game! The colors, the sounds, the visuals... everything about it gently beckons "come play me and melt your stress away!".

[Drewgonzo]

New favorite game. I've been making villages, taking screenshots and using them in my dnd campaigns as locations and homes for my party! Tiny Glade really goes beyond the realm of creativity.

I have had this game since day dot and have yet to build a thing. Spending all my time watching people build their excellent creations. How relaxing is that.

[MixedFeelings-umuf]

I am only a few hours in the game, but lacked the creativity to be honest, so I did miss some stuff. I don't mind looking up the possibilities, it just makes my own game richer. So thanks for that! :)

[Temaile]

You make this look so easy! I'm exited to try some new things in the game tomorrow. My favourite thing I did so far was just put a thin path through the thick forest and at the end make a secret little witch house. This game is amazing.

for anyone around 10:30 and wondering, you can remove the crenellations with the paint tool. at the moment it's a button thats all the way at the left when you select the piece (its in with the section that makes wooden trims)
you can also use this same method to make more even stone wall tops

[collinvickers]

You can even out the arches on the arcade wall, by using the scissor tool to separate it into the number of segments you want.

Thanks for this!! Tiny Glade is so different from most games I play and I was getting frustrated trying to make straight walls -- love ALL the tips you've shown here! This'll definitely help me move forward with the game. Much appreciated!

[erwanyon]

I had figured out some on my own but I never though about layering buildings to have different paint jobs !
It’s so cute I can’t wait to try it

[GabbySullivan-cj]

I randomly clicked on this video and I cannot overstate my excitement when I heard the opening jingle. Your Animal Crossing streams got me through the beginning of the pandemic. So glad you’re playing this game! 😄

[KurtzeTube]

This game is a technical marvel. What a wonderful time to be alive

[edinop]

Thank you! These are really simple to understand and easy tips to follow!

[lukemaher]

Really appreciate this man. Brilliant video, really informative and well structured. Thanks

[Galaxmul]

I've already spent a few hours in the full version and a lot of hours in the demo - but I missed a few things - thank you very much!!

[MissArelynx]

Thank you so much, what a great guide! I had no clue how to do a majority of this stuff. Gonna make sure to fav this one so I can come back when I get stuck with something.

I'm loving this game so far. Can definitely tell it's gonna be one I come back to over and over again to just zen and chill out and be creative. I'm excited to see if they add more styles and whatnot in the future, or better yet, if they added a way to customize how the inside of buildings look. Then I can REALLY see getting lost playing this for days/weeks on end lol.

Again, much appreciated for the vid Jonti! <3

I hope they add a generating crowd and what mood they are set in, such as you built a fort then generate an army set to "defend the fort" or generate a crowd in an empire set as "parade of the heroes" or just your normal village set to "day to day life" that would be wonderful.
