scottishgames<p><strong>First Look: Build Cosy Scottish Themed Islands In Tiny Terra Spaces</strong></p><p>We are delighted to share a first look at <strong><em><a href="https://luduspaxstudios.uk/index.php/2025/07/29/plans-for-my-game-tiny-terra-spaces-devlog-8/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Tiny Terra Spaces</a></em></strong>, a charming and ‘cosy’ new title currently in development at Scottish-based solo development studio <strong><a href="https://luduspaxstudios.uk" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Ludus Pax</a></strong>. This relaxing island builder, set in a world inspired by the islands of Scotland, promises a wholesome and focused experience for players.</p><p>Developed by solo founder Silviu, Ludus Pax Games and in part-time collaboration with VFX artist <strong><a href="https://pennytrevlopoulou.myportfolio.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Penny</a></strong>. <em>Tiny Terra Spaces</em> 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.</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yiKnHO0XAe0" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yiKnHO0XAe0</a></p><p><em>Tiny Terra Spaces</em> 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.</p><p>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. </p><p>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). </p><p>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.</p><p>Why the name <em>Tiny Terra Spaces</em>? 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”. </p><p>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.”</p><p><strong><em>Tiny Terra Spaces</em> features:</strong></p><ul><li><strong>A cosy Island builder:</strong> A chill, stress-free experience focused on building a beautiful island chain.</li><li><strong>Light economy management:</strong> Carefully place and combine islands to produce the resources your community needs to flourish.</li><li>Interact with buildings and inhabitants.</li><li><strong>Scottish-inspired animals and biomes : </strong>Discover traditional Scottish island wildlife, flora and hand crafted biomes.</li><li><strong>Wholesome & Relaxing:</strong> Designed from the ground up to be a peaceful and satisfying game.</li><li><strong>Choose your own background music: </strong>Unlock music themes by placing taverns and hiring bards to shape your island atmosphere. </li><li>Zoom in and admire your creation.
