Since the surprise success of Townscaper a few years ago, a crop of other "radically casual" cozy city builders have worked and Tiny Glade is definitely the most of my wish list thanks to the goodness we're finally going to try to paint the beautiful ivy-covered walls across an idyllic canvas: Pownslite is a great way to get the demo started. Say you are coming in May 30.

Tiny Glade is a very laid-back building game that takes over some of the procedural building elements enjoyed by many in townscaper, from everything we've seen so far. A bit of your project responds to each other as you build, like a wall sprouting an arched gateway when you draw a walkway leading to its edge

In its blog post, Pounce Light states that the demo will allow you to play a "summer glade" map, a background of sunny grass plains and forests. It's a good idea. From the screenshot it looks like you can build structures and paths, place windows and lights, change the color of the paint and the height of the terrain. There are flower symbols on the toolbar as well, but I think this is related to placing landscaping details.

The developers say they have also added a highly requested photo mode where players can move around their camera to take the exact screenshots they need. My own little glade could be the background for my new phone and desktop.

The Tiny Glade demo was canceled at 5.30 am and scheduled to be held from 6.10 am to 6.17 pm this year, Steam Next Fest said, "And maybe 1-2 weeks later, once we get there, so it's going to be a solid two and a half weeks, at least, to try it out." 

Tiny Glade has not announced a release date for the full version, but it is scheduled for 2024 and is one of the most excited upcoming cozy games of the year 1.
