Tiny Terra, Big Ambition: Ludus Pax Studios Unveils Cosy Scottish Island Builder ‘Tiny Terra Spaces’
Glasgow-based Ludus Pax Studios has officially unveiled its third commercial title, Tiny Terra Spaces, a relaxing, low-poly island builder that brings a More Than Games twist to the traditional city-building genre.
Led by solo developer Silviu Soare – a First Class Honours graduate and double court medal winner – in collaboration with artist Penny, Ludus Pax is moving away from high-stress mechanics to embrace the growing “cosy games” movement. Inspired by the rich history and natural beauty of Scotland’s islands, Tiny Terra Spaces offers players a non-violent, meditative experience where the primary goal is simply to bring a world to life at one’s own pace.

Building the Future of Scottish Digital Heritage
What sets Tiny Terra Spaces apart is its potential for educational impact. Alongside its Sandbox and Island Hop modes, the studio has outlined plans for a “Serious Game Hop Mode.” Developed in collaboration with universities, this mode aims to allow players to discover the real-life history and traditions of Scotland’s islands as they play.
“I’ve always wanted to create a city builder, but as a solo developer, I knew I had to find a way to make it manageable and meaningful,” says Silviu Soare. “Tiny Terra Spaces is a project that feels like the right fit at the right time – tapping into the demand for stress-free, wholesome experiences while celebrating the country I proudly call home.”
