Now Crowdfunding: Tiny Terra Spaces

Following the successful unveiling of its demo in late January, Glasgow-based Ludus Pax Studios is taking the next major step in its development journey. Solo developer Silviu Soare has officially launched a Kickstarter campaign to bring the full vision of Tiny Terra Spaces to life, with a focus on its innovative educational ‘Serious Game’ features.

Building on the ‘Big Ambition’

As SGN reported last month, Tiny Terra Spaces is a meditative, low-poly island builder that trades high-stakes conflict for the ‘cosy’ serenity of the Scottish landscape. While the initial Steam demo allowed players to experience the foundational mechanics of medieval community building, the new crowdfunding campaign aims to fund the more ambitious More Than Games elements that set this project apart.

Speaking to SGN, Silviu, a double court medal winner from UWS, said:

Tiny Terra Spaces doesn’t lock you into a single storyline – it hands you the reins. Build the tale you want to live. Perhaps you’re a modest villager seeking a fresh start on a far-flung island, or a fierce Viking carving out a new domain. Whatever world you imagine, the game’s varied modes ensure endless replayability and a new adventure every time you return.

Rewards for the Community

The campaign offers supporters a variety of levels to get involved in the development of the final product, starting from as little as £1.. Beyond securing a digital copy of the game, higher tier backers can access digital and physical merchandise from the game, with stickers, artwork, posters and more on offer.

With a modest initial funding goal of £600 – and larger tiers and stretch goals included, the campaign runs until March 14th. This gives you enough time to play the demo and pledge your support to a young developer, working at the forefront of the sector.

For a solo developer, crowdfunding is about more than just capital; it is about community building and market validation. Supporting this project helps ensure that the future of Scottish games remains diverse, and rooted in our local culture.

First Look: Build Cosy Scottish Themed Islands In Tiny Terra Spaces

We are delighted to share a first look at Tiny Terra Spaces, a charming and ‘cosy’ new title currently in development at Scottish-based solo development studio Ludus Pax. This relaxing island builder, set in a world inspired by the islands of Scotland, promises a wholesome and focused experience for players.

Developed by solo founder Silviu, Ludus Pax Games and in part-time collaboration with VFX artist Penny. Tiny Terra Spaces is a perfect example of the passionate, creative talent emerging from Scotland’s indie development scene. While the game is still in development, a playable WebGL version is already available, giving players a taste of the gameplay.

Tiny Terra Spaces is a minimalist, resource-management game where you build and grow your own Scottish-themed island. Instead of the pressures of a typical city-builder, the game focuses on creating a peaceful, satisfying experience. Players will place buildings and expand their islands to generate essential resources, helping their small community to grow and thrive.

In a recent devlog, founder Silviu shared his vision for the game, outlining plans for an “endless sandbox mode” and continuous improvements based on player feedback. He is actively encouraging players to share their thoughts and become part of the game’s ongoing development journey.

The game promises to feature a “Hop island mode” where players will be able to sail off to new islands once certain progress is achieved. There is also hope for a  Serious game mode, such as a ‘historical hop’ mode (depending upon funding and stretch goals).

In the Serious game mode, Silviu is hoping to focus on Scottish islands’ history, learn about medieval times, local island clans and the vital roles some of islands in Scottish history and independence. All in the same fun and cosy style.

Why the name Tiny Terra Spaces? Silviu says “while the project begins with Scotland, I want the concept to remain flexible and expandable. Future themes could include Nordic, Japanese or other cultures and regions”. 

Silviu continues”My main goal is to create a relaxing experience for the player,” Silviu writes. “I want to create a game that can be played for a few minutes or for hours on end.”

Tiny Terra Spaces features:

• A cosy Island builder: A chill, stress-free experience focused on building a beautiful island chain.
• Light economy management: Carefully place and combine islands to produce the resources your community needs to flourish.
• Interact with buildings and inhabitants.
• Scottish-inspired animals and biomes : Discover traditional Scottish island wildlife, flora and hand crafted biomes.
• Wholesome & Relaxing: Designed from the ground up to be a peaceful and satisfying game.
• Choose your own background music: Unlock music themes by placing taverns and hiring bards to shape your island atmosphere. 
• Zoom in and admire your creation. Watch your little world grow.
• Endless replayability: Once you are done, start again with endless layout possibilities. 
• An island hop mechanic where you progress to a new island once you have achieved a set number of resources or people, discovering new islands.

Supporting our homegrown, independent developers is crucial for the health and creativity of the entire Scottish games ecosystem. This is a chance to support an emerging local talent at the very beginning of his career and help shape the future of his creation.

The game is coming soon to Kickstarter and Steam. You can play the early WebGL version now and sign up to be notified as soon as the Kickstarter campaign goes live.
