Tiny Glade: an indie diorama builder that proves the power of bespoke game engines


Digital Foundry investigates Tiny Glade, an amazing PC indie game that uses a lot of bespoke technology to great effect.

Made by just a two person team, developer Pounce Light has crafted a simple and charming gameplay loop: make, create, and arrange castles, villas, or cottages to your liking using the game's flexible building system. That's enhanced by the highly polished user interface and 3D camera, which react quickly to your input - important elements for mouse-driven games like RTS and city builders. Regardless of the small issues, there's a huge amount to be proud of here for the two-person development team, with great performance and sound technical decisions that further Tiny Glade's art and playstyle.
