Tiny Brutalism

Project Overview

Tiny Brutalism is a serene, freeform construction sandbox designed for those who appreciate the stark beauty of brutalist architecture. It is described as a ~~cozy~~ not-so-cozy architectural tool where players can relax while crafting imposing concrete structures.

User Testimonials

"I can see it being very useful for generating references for my drawings!" — Wizardthieffighter

"As a self proclaimed eco-brutalist lover this scratches that itch very deeply for me." — Noah

Community Feedback & Feature Requests

The community has been active in suggesting improvements. Below is a synthesis of the UI/UX critique provided by Noah (a design professional):

Feature	Current Issue	Proposed Solution
Foliage Icons	Plant icon places shrubs; Pin icon places trees.	Use a $\text{grass}$ icon for shrubs and a $\text{tree}$ icon for trees.
Variant Switching	`Hold + Scroll` can be imprecise.	Implement a selection menu or a scroll bar with indicator dots.
Time of Day	Sun icon is easy to overlook.	Split the UI bar: top half for sun angle, bottom half for night.
Undo/Redo	Missing from the visual UI.	Add dedicated on-screen buttons for `Undo` and `Redo`.

Other Notable Discussions

Controls: asadok mentioned that the camera controls could be better optimized for touchpads to reduce excessive double-finger dragging.
Utility: AppleHeck and HienaDev inquired about export capabilities (e.g., FBX or Unity packages) to use the game as a prototyping tool.
Clarifications: The Vault struggled with the variant controls until oh_hellie clarified: Hold Left Mouse Button $\rightarrow$ Scroll.
Creative Output: Portland Horton shared a custom poster inspired by the game, which the developer (Placeholders) found "rad."

🚀 Future Roadmap (Community-Driven)

Based on user comments, the following tasks would improve the experience:

Add "half-block" increments for finer detail (Requested by Fishy).
Implement more concrete texture variations.
Add colored lamp variations.
Create an export system for external 3D software.
Refine the fog intensity.
