Tiny Glade 101 - All basic controls and interactions demonstrated in... 58 minutes? Seriously?

[@noxlotl_]

i think ive figured most of the controls out but JUST in case

[@freakout3516]

I did try to make the chapter markers fairly descriptive so you can also check the description to see if any of the terms there sound new to you!

[@akastrak2235]

not a waste of time at all :)

[@BababooeyGooey]

Who could predict the most casual game would have the steepest learning curve?

[@freakout3516]

Low skill floor, high skill ceiling is something I kind of keep throwing at people :D With Townscaper I actually really enjoyed the exploratory nature of realizing after 8 hours that X + Y = Z. However, Tiny Glade seems to have reached a much wider audience and not everybody enjoys learning that they've missed out on key detailing features for X amount of hours. So that's where videos like this come in, I suppose lol

[@GraafBerengeur]

I really, really wish they gave more flower colours / designs. When I saw the colour button, I immediately tried to use it on the flowers. And then when my girlfriend tried the game, she did the same. Then I watched someone on KZbin trying out the game, and they did the same😅 please let us have a wide plethora of flowers and colours 🌷🌸🌹🌺🌻🌼🪷🪻🏵️💐💠🥀

[@freakout3516]

I had a similar comment recently and the more I mull over the issue the more I agree! As evidenced by my other videos, I'm more of an....architecture guy so I generally haven't given the flower brush too much thought but thinking about using it now has me feeling like "Yeah. How *am* I supposed to use it? If I place too many flowers and everything looks same-y. So if I want to bring variety to my build by using flowers... I gotta be conservative with it so you don't notice it's all the same..." So ironically, the less I use the brush, the more useful it is to me. Which is like...the exact opposite of how that's supposed to work lol

[@freakout3516]

Everything you could possibly want to know about Tiny Glade's *intended* mechanics as of 1.8.3. I briefly mention the photo mode at one point in the video. Yeah. I cut that lol CHAPTER MARKERS. USE EM. Hope it teaches you *something* new at least. ONE THING I KINDA MISSED - you can remove windows either with the hammer or by pulling them off the wall and dropping them in the landscape.

[@BunnyBearFun9432]

Is it possible to make bridges over water?

[@freakout3516]

@BunnyBearFun9432 I would say, yes, though you will find no dedicated "bridge tool" in the game. There's some designs for bridges floating out there. I do believe diplopanda made a video on the topic. I link a different video of hers in the description if you'd like to check out her channel. I do also have a very basic bridge design included towards the end of this video. Hope that helps!

[@fuffofox]

Fun fact: You can use the wall eraser on buildings. It'll turn the building into a wall but the shape stays as is so if you wanna have a perfect circle or perfect square/rectangle, you do that.

[@judycarlsson]

This was no waist of time, perfect extra things to know. I loved it

[@ShadowWolf1307]

I KNEW THERE WERE BIGGER DOORS! I figured everything else out by trial and error as well as happy accidents, but the doors sizing up like windows just never worked!

[@heretolevitateme]

I don't think you mentioned petting the sheep and ducks. 🙃

[@AnnevaLily]

Essential core mechanic! 🐑 And that the sheep follow your cursor after you pet them!

[@adamanimates9537]

i really like this vid, it really helped me out quite a lot, thank you for doing the only good tutorial for tinyglade on youtube!

[@therealjamespickering]

I would argue that round buildings should have rotation control. When they are not set on the ground there is no way to change the alignment of the legs and it would be helpful to be able to rotate everything attached to a tower, rather than having to move each part separately.

[@freakout3516]

You'd be in good company, yeah. Nothing worse than having some window or whatever slightly misaligned and now you need to get through and shift everything other three inches so they keep their relative position to one another.

[@delindsay]

Great video, Sub'd and followed you on Twitch. May I ask what's the on-screen Keyboard/Mouse window you use? I've been looking for something just like this for my build tutorials.

[@freakout3516]

obsproject.com/forum/resources/input-overlay.552/ Right here! I in fact just use a couple of the presets that they have on the github as well Absolutely agree though it's fantastic for doing tutorials (and accosting the devs with reproductions of bugs) because there's no question of "What did you click to do that" :D

[@gwenleanne]

incredibly helpful video, fantastic tips, and so well put-together!! I was skeptical as I usually don't watch any "basic tutorials" that are over 30 minutes (I'm always SO eager to get going), but I sat through this entire video totally enraptured. super job!! very very appreciated! :)

[@Maki__Roller]

Honestly, I have watched all of your other videos while building. Some for inspo and others just to listen to your voice while I play which makes it more cozy, which I didn't even think was possible!

[@Almanach_der_Abenteuer]

As a fellow Dschörman I thoroughly appreciate your knowledge of all the appropriate vocabulary. I learned so much about English architectural terms in this video haha

[@AnnevaLily]

I've played so much and I STILL learned new things in this video! And I think what you highlight well is that the game is as complex as you WANT it to be, you can use the tools as simply as they first appear and still get beautiful results, or you can spend hours editing the minutest details. It's incredible, and they're adding new features already! 😍

[@Atarikidd]

Hi freakout3516, watched whole video and did learn things I did not. Other parts yes ( for using and learning and trying ) on my own. I plan on watching your other videos also just subscribed here.

[@meerkatze9261]

Perfect timing! I just started playing and already have the ambitious goal to recreate a fortress for a Pathfinder campaign. Your videos will be of immense help. Danke! :)

[@freakout3516]

Hope it works out the way you want it to! Once you have the basic controls figured out, the game becomes a process of "How can I use what I have to achieve what I want" - as far as I'm concerned anyway. Hence also the segment at the end about "If you want a bridge, gotta design it yourself" Have fun, hope it also ends up being a relaxing time! :D

[@meerkatze9261]

@@freakout3516 Even though I'm still figuring out most things (or rather let you explain them^^), the game mechanics are fairly intuitive and it's a lot of fun just trying out all the different options. I'm sure that I'll be making at least another build of the fortress when I'm more advanced, but even for now it's good to have it as a reference for orientation.

[@MoonWitchBuilds]

Your videos are incredibly helpful, will definitely keep coming back to them! Also, you have a great voice for this type of content. ☺️

[@akashr2396]

"Catchy" Channel Name idea: GladeOut - Tiny Glade - Freakout - you get the idea

[@SuzySuziko]

No this was *not* too long just fine. I had figured out almost everything, but you gave 3 or 4 new ideas. Thanks!

[@oldyboy2057]

This is a game where everyone is happy

[@erichorne6175]

i learned less about tiny glade than i did medieval architecture terminology, 10/10

[@Incognito-vc9wj]

Most of the creative techniques require unorthodox use of unrelated tools. Hopefully weI’ll get a more full suite of tools

[@SiriBhogireddy]

The way I gasped with joy when I say the sewer grates over water!! Been playing for 3 hours now and still had no idea. Loved the video

[@管理人-柊]

私も最近このゲームをプレイし始めましたがチュートリアルが不十分すぎて、満足に遊べていなかったところ貴方の動画に出会いました。 翻訳をしながら楽しませてもらってます:）本当にありがとう

[@freakout3516]

I hope the visuals also speak for themselves! Happy that I could be of help!

[@confused_reader]

I have 14 hours in this game but I'm watching anyway lol

[@alm5851]

this is incredibly helpful. thank you!

[@heradev4564]

Waste of time? I think not. Not only did I watch the entire thing, I saved it to my "watch later" playlist because I know I'll be referring back to it. I only got the game yesterday, played it off and on all day (sadly didn't have time today) so I had only figured out a fraction of what I just learned from you. So thank you! Very very helpful indeed.

[@freakout3516]

o7 glad to hear it! I hope to continue being of service. Gonna have to figure out how to keep the video up to date given how frequent updates can be .... but I already got an idea!

[@lavenderbeds7390]

I loved the video! It wasn't too long for me!!

[@jangoldenbaum717]

What a great introduction! 😍

[@therealjamespickering]

How do you get straight wall sections without subdivisions? Is it just a matter of having a steady hand?

[@freakout3516]

Easiest way is to draw a short piece of wall, right-click the wall and grabbing one of the control nodes like at 15:43 and dragging that to where you need it. The game will always draw a perfectly straight wall between two nodes. Hope that helps!

[@MandleRoss]

I saw a hint in another video to move the camera up then point in straight down, rotate into the orientation you want, start your wall, and then MOVE THE CAMERA in a straight line in the direction you want the wall to go, instead of drawing with the mouse. Instant perfectly straight wall!

[@AnnikaLetourneau-xn5eu]

Is there a way to save the things you have built and then when u gets back in you can have a blank part with memorie of your other build

[@freakout3516]

I'm sorry, I'm afraid I don't understand the whole question so I can only answer part of it. The game saves everything you do automatically when you open the menu! If you start a New Glade, your old one can be accessed in the menu under "Load." Generally, nothing is lost. The "Load" menu can be a little tricky. It scrolls to the right. So most of your saves won't be immediately visible, you'll either have to scroll with the mousewheel or drag yourself along the page with the left mouse button. As far as 'blank part with memorie of your other build' is concerned, I'm not 100% certain how you mean that question and I don't want to assume anything and give you an answer that isn't actually relevant to you. So I'll skip that for the time being.

[@namiichuu830]

there is no way to save builds and use them in a different glade if that is what you are asking

[@Trakker1985]

41:30 man i wish you could just /make/ small chimneys, i hope there is an update for stuff like that. it's either 2 next to each other or a big fat chimney =(

[@freakout3516]

Aye, I feel you on that. The arrow hole usually hides away underneath a roof well enough so that's my preferred way of forcing the chimney to be small but it's still less than satisfactory.

[@namiichuu830]

is it not possible to make gates with fences anymore? i remember watching the developers videos a couple months back and she showed that the could become gates but i cant figure it out :(

[@freakout3516]

Unfortunately not, no! The fence gates that were present in the early trailers/videos didn't end up making the cut. Something about too many complications with the interactions - I don't quite recall the exact reason. The devs have floated the idea of bringing them back but for the time being they're hunting bugs and crashes. Fingers crossed!

[@namiichuu830]

@@freakout3516 ahh i hope they manage to solve the issue ide much prefer gates over the arches, tysm for your reply!

[@AnnevaLily]

​@namiichuu830 for now you can make a fake gate using some scaled down fence pieces within the gate piece to mimic it ☺

[@carlosimotti3933]

I have a question: is there a damn way to save a project/build or do you have to cancel everything and restart from scratch each time?

[@freakout3516]

Saves are generally automatic. Provided that you don't crash out of the game your work should be saved as soon as you open the main menu.The Load menu that appears once you have more than one save scrolls horizontally so some of your saves may be off-screen

[@MandleRoss]

As far as I know, you can't save a project in various stages (a damn shame). But you also don't have to delete everything and start over. Just hit NEW from the game menu and you will keep your old project and can load it back in, and also you will have a new one running side-by-side. The save option must be one of the most requested, I7m sure, as well as swapping a build's seasons instead of starting over with a new season.

[@carlosimotti3933]

@@freakout3516 thank you very much! Yeah the work is automatically accessible, I am in the "try everything" stage so I only played one "map" so far but I saw no option to start a new one

[@carlosimotti3933]

@@MandleRoss thank you! Yeah the save thing is kinda weird for no apparent reason. I'd really appreciate a copy and paste option and a group objects option more than everything on earth

[@ScorpiusBlue]

Can I use my touchpad and touchscreen to play this ?

[@freakout3516]

Aight, I had to ask somebody who knows somebody who plays this game on Steamdeck and it seems the answer is no, unfortunatey. Laptop trackpads still *mostly* work but anything fancier than that - in terms of touch controls - isn't implemented. Sorry about the wait!

[@ScorpiusBlue]

@@freakout3516 I’m really tired of waiting years for cozy games to be released, only to find out they’re not accessible for those with disabilities 💔😭
