Hello everyone!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m excited to share more about my game, Tiny Terra Spaces<\/strong>, right here in this detailed devlog. With social media’s character limits, it’s tough to explain everything in one go\u2014so here’s the full vision behind the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

\ud83c\udf31 Sandbox Mode<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Start fresh on a new island\u2014either a tiny two-tile space or from various pre-defined shapes. Each option includes a marketplace<\/strong> and a starting dock<\/strong>, giving players a cozy beginning to build from.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

\ud83c\udf0a Hop Mode<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In Hop Mode, you build a thriving island and, once you’ve met certain requirements, sail off to a new one<\/strong>. It\u2019s all about progression and expanding your cosy world, one island at a time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udcdc Serious Game \u2013 Historical Hop Mode (Funding Dependent)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This is a more ambitious mode focused on Scottish island history<\/strong>. Learn about medieval times, local clans, and the vital roles islands played in Scottish independence. This mode will only be possible with sufficient funding<\/strong>, as it requires research and collaboration. It will also focus on Scottish Island communities and their own independent customs, histories, clans and troubles. All done in a happy cosy vibe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udcb0 Funding Plans<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I’m preparing to launch a Kickstarter campaign<\/strong> to help fund the game’s development. With enough support, I hope to hire help, cover essential costs, and truly realise the full potential of Tiny Terra Spaces. Follow it here <\/a>if you wish to be notified when it launches. I am also thinking of applying for a variety of grants, and seek out support and help from local councils which oversee islands in Scotland. See if they would be willing to collaborate with me. I have also reached out to Universities and will attempt to reach out to more in the near future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

\ud83e\udde0 Educational Goals (Also Funding Dependent)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If funding allows, I’d love for Tiny Terra Spaces to celebrate the real-life stories of Scottish islands<\/strong>\u2014not through hardship, but by showcasing their communities, traditions, and resilience. Think of it as a cozy journey through history<\/strong>, not a survival game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

\ud83c\udf0d Why the Name Tiny Terra Spaces<\/em>?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

While this project begins with Scotland, I want the concept to remain flexible and expandable<\/strong>. Future themes could include Nordic<\/strong>, Japanese<\/strong>, or other cultures and regions. That\u2019s why the name isn\u2019t limited to \u201cScottish Islands\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
