Hello Mayors! Since launch, we've been hard at work putting together some quality of life improvements and bug fixes to help make Tinytopia the best experience possible. While we've squashed lots of smaller bugs since launch, we are ready to publish our first minor patch for the game! Without further ado, here are the changes and fixes in the new patch:

Changes:

• The Move Tool will now stay selected after use. Players will no longer need to select the Move Tool after each structure is moved.
• The balancing platform in the Teeter Town level is now firmly affixed to its pivot point.

Fixes:

• Fixed an issue that caused more than one cat to spawn in some levels.
• Removed the giant citizens that would sometimes spawn in Skate Parks.
• Added the Factory building to the Blueprints menu.
• Tweaked and improved the snap points on the Casino building.
• Fixed the descriptions of secondary goals on the Level Select screen.

We love to hear from you! If you have any questions or would like to recommend a specific change(s), please comment on this event, post on the Steam discussions boards, share them on social media using #Tinytopia or chat with us directly on Discord. In the meantime, happy building. Sincerely, Your friends at Mastiff and MeNic Games

Thank You all for a Terrific Launch

We are thrilled, delighted, and humbled by the response to Tinytopia. Reading reviews of the game, receiving praise and constructive criticism, and watching gamers enjoy Tinytopia on Twitch and YouTube is a surreal experience. We are beyond happy that players are enjoying the game, and we'd like to thank every one of you for your support. We hear your feedback, actively monitor the Steam Discussion board and, of course, our own Discord server. So if you have a question, run into a bug or have content suggestions, please post in either location to let us know. We'll do our best to address bugs immediately and will take all content ideas into considerationwithin reason of course. Also, you can expect to see a sprinkling of content added to the game in the next few weeks. In the meantime, here are a few jaw-dropping examples of the incredible cities you have all been building! Twitter User ReneeSky As they say: One should build tall, not wide.
Twitter User PrFinley Space Invaders have invaded Tinytopia's UFO Crash Site. Talk about meta. We love it!
Steam User Drii-drii' See, this is the smart way to build. If you stack all of your buildings on top of one another, you'll never run out of space...just make sure you don't bump anything.
We hope you continue to enjoy Tinyotpia. Please consider sharing screenshots or videos of your favorite in-game creations with us by using the hashtag #Tinytopia in your post. You can also share them with us in our Discord server. We will be more than happy to share and promote your awesome creations with the world via our channels.

WELCOME TO TURNTABLE TOWN!

Hello Mayor, and welcome to Turntable Town! This level tasks players with building a fully functional city, with plenty of jobs and services, on top of an active turntable! Do you have what it takes to keep your city balanced, or will it tumble over when the music stops? Well, let's take a spin around the town and find out! Turntable Town is a little short on space, so you'll need to make use of Tinytopia's stackable buildings. Almost all of them are stackable, so you'll have plenty to choose from!
While you will balance the city's happiness, jobs, and services (and the buildings themselves), you'll have all the funds you need to make the city the best it can be!
While making this preview, we realized that to really experience Turntable Town, you've got to watch it in action. With that in mind, here's some hot-off-the-presses gameplay! [previewyoutube=9pqwxl9Wnws;full]https://youtu.be/9pqwxl9Wnws[/previewyoutube] Well, that may be all we have for this challenge level, but there are plenty more to discover in-game! Including the one from this teaser image below...
That's it for this Discord exclusive preview! We would love to hear your thoughts on this level, or even your thoughts on vinyl in general! Are you a collector?

WELCOME TO PARIS!

Bonjour Mon Amie, and welcome to Paris! Theres a lot to see, so let us take you on a guided tour of the City of Lights! This level tasks players with building their own version of Europe's cultural capital, which decorates the shores of the Seine River. Players will be able to build the Eiffel Tower, the Notre Dame, and the Arche de Triomphe, which unlocks them for use in Sandbox mode! The Arche de Triomphe, or The Arch of Triumph in English, strikes an imposing figure over Paris streets. It also looks pretty darn cute in Tinytopia.
Notre-Dame, located on its island on the Seine, breaks up Paris cityscape with a little bit of gothic grandeur.
And there it is, the tower more famous than its name-sake! Did we mention that you can place it wherever you want? Heck, you could even place it in the Seine. We won't tell anyone.
That's it for this exclusive preview! We would love to hear your thoughts on this level, or even your thoughts on the real world Paris! Have you ever been? And, just in case...

We recently announced that we will be publishing MeNic Games playful, toy city-building sim, Tinytopia and we thought to ourselves, "hey, with a shiny new publisher page, it's totally worth sharing the news here too!" If you're a fan of casual city-builders you're not gonna' want to miss out on Tinytopia, so head on over to the game's Steam store page and add the game to your Steam Wishlist. We also added a brief announcement the game's Steam store page that provides an overview of all of the new features and functions we're bringing to the game. https://store.steampowered.com/app/968550/Tinytopia/ Tinytopia will be released on Steam for PC later this summer.

Hey everyone, Mastiff here. We are super excited to announce that we will be working with MeNic Games to publish Tinytopia on Steam! We wanted to bring everyone up to speed on how this magical partnership came to be, and also provide an overview, highlighting some of the items we'll be working on and adding to the game as we prepare for its release later this year. But first, if you haven't already, please check out the preview trailer below for a "tiny" taste of Tinytopia! [previewyoutube=c68UmZW1zU0;full][/previewyoutube] When we first met with MeNic Games at GDC a few years back, we were impressed with the personable and hardworking team and their passion for their projects. After virtually reconnecting with them last year, we had an opportunity to get our hands on Tinytopia, and needless to say, everyone on our team had a blast with the game! We knew right then that Tinytopia was something special. We loved its core gameplay, physics-based mechanics, ability to spark creativity, and how charming the miniature set pieces are. We wanted to help improve the game, and with a solid foundation already in place, we're now able to build out and up! Now that we are working together with MeNic Games, what are we building upon? We're...

• Adding a new illustrated Instructor to guide players through Tinytopia
• Adding new stages
• Newly written text and dialogue
• Rewriting and adding new tutorials
• Adding new in-game level goals
• Fully redesigned and updated UI
• Lots of new Achievements
• And more!

We cant wait to tell you more about the game in the coming weeks. Weve got plenty of creative features and levels were excited to show off, and we absolutely LOVE chatting with fans, so please be sure to follow us (or subscribe) on YouTube, Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook for the latest game updates. If you havent already, please make sure to wishlist Tinytopia and follow us on Steam too (this helps the game out a lot!). Now, if you'll forgive us, we've gotta' strap our hardhats back on and get back to buildin'! Weve got work to do. Hope to hear from you all soon, Your pals at Mastiff

If you are looking for a light-hearted city-building sim, look no further than Tinytopia! As the newly-elected Mayor of Tinytopia, youll use physics-based building mechanics in conjunction with a box full of toy-like miniatures to transform desk-sized landscapes into thriving and bustling metropolises. The only limit is your imagination! Come chat with the development team as we showcase some gameplay footage and answer any questions that may arise! Tinytopia is the spiritual successor of our previous title BalanCity. This time we took a 3D, miniature approach with cute aesthetics and old-school city building mechanics with a physics twist. The game was selected for the GDC 2020 Indie Megabooth and was nominated for Best Casual Game at Game Connection America Awards 2019. We at MeNic Games are a six-person indie studio based in Argentina, currently working on Tinytopia and Space Routine. We are looking forward to releasing Tinytopia in 2021 as we feel the game is reaching its sweet, fun spot and we would love to have players try out the demo at the Steam Festival!
