We’ve been shaping the look and feel of Tiny Haven, and here’s a first peek at one of our character variants. 🌱

This is just the beginning… there will be lots of different styles and customisation options so you can truly make your character feel like you.

[Tiny Haven @PlayTinyHaven]

We’ve taken a little step back to re-look at the design of our Kindlings. Here are just some stuff we’ve been playing around with recently. What do you think?

We’ve been working on more cozy details for Tiny Haven:

depth-y new trees 🌳
a mountain backdrop ⛰️
game-ready scenery ✨

Step by step, the world is growing into a place you’ll want to call home 💚

We went through a number of different logo variations before we landed on this one. We may revisit it again in future, but we love this one for now 🫶🏼

✨ Art style glow up ✨
We have been exploring a new fixed perspective for indoor spaces to make Tiny Haven feel more cosy and tactile.

The new look has richer shadows, hand drawn charm and is easier to expand across rooms.

We cannot wait to show you more 🌿🪴

🧪 What if Tiny Haven looked like this?

We’re testing a softer, flatter style for the garden
It feels cozy but maybe... too gentle?

Still figuring it out... what does this version make you feel?

Every shop has a different NPC.

We’re exploring garden shopkeeper designs for our upcoming cozy social game.

Every detail shifts the feeling of the whole scene.

This is part of our ongoing art direction process.

Some early Kindling sketches we explored while shaping the look and feel of Tiny Haven.

Each one played a part in helping us define the mood and personality that felt right.

@gamearttales Congrats on the demo launch!

[Tiny Haven @PlayTinyHaven]

Soft light. Simple forms. 🌼 

A garden sketch that hints at what’s to come.

This is how our world begins to take shape. Who else wants to jump in and start planting?

🎨 Exploring art, one detail at a time.
From strawberries to soil, small changes shifts the vibe.
Which sprout feels friendlier? Which dirt feels softer?

These tiny decisions decide clarity and tone across the game.
Nothing is final on the first try. ✏️

🛏️ Same room. Three layouts. Different vibe.

We explored how tiny shifts in space change how it feels.

Centered feels calm. Angled feels personal.

Even layout affects mood.
That’s how we make a room feel like home. ✨

✨ We explored them all. Frogs in scarves, mice in aprons, mysterious owls and fiery kids.

But one stood out. Clear. Appealing. Instantly themself.

This is the style we’re building from. The character that felt most at home in Tiny Haven. 🌱

Visual storytelling starts with silhouette and mood.

One body. Three personalities. 🌿

We tested how much the head alone could define a role.

Add a helmet and a frown? You get a determined adventurer.

Add a wide hat and neutral face? You get a gentle gardener.

All without changing the base shape.

[Tiny Haven @PlayTinyHaven]

In the end we didn’t choose this shape, but it taught us something important: what we didn't want and what we did.

Sometimes you need to try everything to find what feels right. ✨

🌱 We explored this art direction early on.
How much personality could we add without changing the shape? A slight tilt, small smirk or thoughtful accessory can create someone entirely new.

[Tiny Haven @PlayTinyHaven]

But that’s the point. Iteration helps us figure out what to keep and what to toss

V1 felt familiar ☁️
V2 was louder 💥
V3 showed us what actually could work 🌼

🎨 Art exploration.

Once we had shapes we liked, we pushed them further 🌱

Each theme got three rounds. More attitude, more weirdness, more risks.
Some versions got stronger. Others lost what made them fun.
