I love how contrasting both games are and how it adds to the let's play. "Oh, poor sheep, at least it has an umbrella."... "Okay, so the plebs will live in these slums."
Jon! Definitely give Dystopika a bit more of a look-see too, because even in the demo there are a few really cool features I think you might have missed. Like grabbing the top of towers and dragging up /down with the mouse will make them taller / shorter BUT as you do that, more / fewer buildings of varying sizes will spawn around them; it adds a lot to the atmosphere when trying to add density. You can also overlap buildings, and sometimes that results in new, even cooler buildings.
There are a couple of free games released on Steam recently, I reckon you'd like. The Werecleaner: You play as a cleaner, who's a werewolf, forced to work night shifts at the office in wolf form. You have to get in, clean up & get out without being seen, otherwise you'll have more messes to clean... Indigo Park: Explore an abandoned theme park to find out what went wrong.
It's incrementally less chill, having actual supply chains of a sort; but when it comes to things you snap together interacting appealingly Bulkwark is absolutely worth a look. Some seriously impressive structural greebling going on as you build various towers and bridges and platforms.
Even though these types of games are not my cup of tea (I don't know why but I like games with a sense of "progression" and "consequence" like RPGs), what a masterpiece is Tiny Glade. It works so well, it's simple but everything in it is top notch. You could make maps for RPGs with the tools it gives you.
Whilst I enjoy pretty much all MATN content, this is a superb video. The editing of the two games together in one video is seamless and a brilliant idea. So much better than simply showing us one and then the other. Really shows off why you two have so many fans out there, this was entertaining the whole way through. Keep up the good work Team MATN!
My goodness. Beyond looking beautiful and relaxing, I feel like these games would be great for setting up settings for ttrpgs or writers. Thank you, Jon, for showcasing these games!!!
These videos are edited together so well! The timing between the alternation feels natural, and I LOVE the audio-flow of the background music from one game into the other. Excellent work!
Don't forget that you can do double and triple windows for Tiny Glade as well as cycle through the window accessories every time you click on it just to make sure you get the right fit!
I like how the big, impractical double-tower is in the best shape of everything, implying that it had to have some really innovative engineering put into it to get it standing, resulting in it weathering the decay of the rest of the structure better than the rest.
The Dystopika reminds me of Blade Runner. Especially the pyramid shaped building, the tall buildings with huge adverts, the horrible congestion, and the dark polluted skies. Interesting and fun little games.
Is the deep lore of this video that Tiny Glade is actually the idyllic childhood the CEO of Omega Corp has burned out over a dozen indentured neurotechs to recreate in the executive VR suite; or do the sheep ruminate on dark and terrible things as they amble about in the sunshine?
Or maybe they’re separate but mirroring parallel universes (IE they both have themes of looks-good-until-you-look-closely, the state of the castle in the Tiny Glade reflects the state of society in Dystopika)
Oh man I want both of these so bad! Also Tiny Glade reminds me a ton of this other chill out game called Townscaper. So much so that I feel like they must be directly influenced by it and possibly built off the procgen AI in it
At the start, I was thinking, that Jon might try to fool us and lead us into believing those two games are just one game, in different cycles of the game. Like, after you reach some point in Tiny Glades, it transforms and becomes Dystopika 😂
Jon! You missed the best part of tiny glade! (Or maybe it got cut for time) When you pet the sheep, they follow your mouse! So you can lead them into their new home! Also I don't know if you saw, but when you go into camera mode it turns your creation into a realistic diarama
You should know that there's a vertical slider in Dystopika to make buildings taller (located at the building top), which unlock new building options so your pyramid could be even bigger and on par with Giza's pyramids... except digital and futuristic.
As much as I enjoy the Tale of Two Cities title reference the switching between the two games back and forth does not work for me personally. Takes me a bit to get into the mood of the game only to have to adjust to something completely different.
Jon, if you want a fun little game to try for one video, I suggest the free demo for "Half Sword." Very fun and funny physics based medieval combat game.
Thank you for the video. I enjoy watching you build with great pleasure. Tiny Glade Creative Game. This is for me. I love to build, like with Legos or building blocks.🥰
Sadly, I really struggle to focus on this video constantly switching between 2 games. While I understand the amount of work that must have gone into editing this, it just doesn't work for me.
Day 118 of requesting Age of Mythology - a full playthrough if possible. Tiny Glade gives me Hobbiton vibes, and I don't just mean because the sheep are reminiscent of New Zealand. Dystopika makes me think of how confused my Dad and I were when we finally tried crossing the original Blade Runner off of our "to-watch" list.
Not a fan of that format. I understand that the demos are short and probably not enough to fill a whole video, but the game-splicing made it even less clear what's going on.
The androids in Dystopika are dreaming the world of Tiny Glade, hence the sheep.
Ha! Androids do, indeed, dream of electric sheep
@@withtheworks doesn't end well for the sheep usually.
Goated comment
Jon showing that he does, in fact, have some degree of aesthetic sense.
It's only house flipper type games where he becomes a nightmarish interior decorating gremlin that wants to create death contraptions
@@irecordwithaphone1856 hmm...(let's not talk about City Skylines)
Where? I'm seeing not an ounce of aesthetics in anything in this vid
Jon recreating the rich / poor split of Valua from Skies of Acradia, but in Dystopika, is very on brand.
Valua _is_ a nightmare dystopia with eternal storms and darkness, makes sense
All we need now are flying battleships
Dang you beat me to it 😂
Once full release happens for Tiny Glade I am using it to make all my important places in my DnD games I run. So happy with the demo.
Never played DnD but being able to design locations on this might get me into it
I want the area of play to be bigger in release seems reallllly small
It's literally called Tiny Glade. I doubt you'll get a ton of build space.
@@knowpainnow The game shows how large the area will be in the full game, the small circle is just for the demo.
preechhh 🙏
I love how contrasting both games are and how it adds to the let's play.
"Oh, poor sheep, at least it has an umbrella."... "Okay, so the plebs will live in these slums."
"let's just say, it's haunted"
*hard cut back to Dystopika*

The Werecleaner does sound like a game that leads to ridiculous shenanigans... XD
i'm checking them out right away lol
It's incrementally less chill, having actual supply chains of a sort; but when it comes to things you snap together interacting appealingly Bulkwark is absolutely worth a look. Some seriously impressive structural greebling going on as you build various towers and bridges and platforms.
Jones missing the fact in dystopia that you can raise the buildings up and down to change each district's style
going back and forth between these to games is a work of art
Even though these types of games are not my cup of tea (I don't know why but I like games with a sense of "progression" and "consequence" like RPGs), what a masterpiece is Tiny Glade.
It works so well, it's simple but everything in it is top notch. You could make maps for RPGs with the tools it gives you.
just started playing dystopika because of this video and you can make the omega corp bigger
YOU CAN MAKE ANY BUILDING BIGGER !!!!
i actually love this format of a double feature!! hope you do it again some time!
Whilst I enjoy pretty much all MATN content, this is a superb video. The editing of the two games together in one video is seamless and a brilliant idea. So much better than simply showing us one and then the other. Really shows off why you two have so many fans out there, this was entertaining the whole way through. Keep up the good work Team MATN!

Jon doing a "before Jon" and "after Jon" on a city management game is very cool.
I know others have said it but the pyramid building looks like Tyrell Corp right down to the Spinners coming up off the landing pads.
I've had my eye on Tiny Glade for a while. Thanks for giving a look into it.
When I the last time since we have heard Jon say that? Used to be almost a catchphrase. "I've had my eye on this for some time"
These videos are edited together so well! The timing between the alternation feels natural, and I LOVE the audio-flow of the background music from one game into the other. Excellent work!

Big props for trying a new kind of video! Featuring two genre-related games at once, the execution was really smooth and fun to watch!
Never heard of either of these before, now I kinda want both...
Nice, innovative format for putting two demos together. "Meanwhile, back on the ranch..."
The editing on this video is perfection
The Dystopika reminds me of Blade Runner. Especially the pyramid shaped building, the tall buildings with huge adverts, the horrible congestion, and the dark polluted skies. Interesting and fun little games.
Does this mean 2 new games Claire will be mastering in like a week?
Is the deep lore of this video that Tiny Glade is actually the idyllic childhood the CEO of Omega Corp has burned out over a dozen indentured neurotechs to recreate in the executive VR suite; or do the sheep ruminate on dark and terrible things as they amble about in the sunshine?
No, the sheep play Dystopika until Jon completes their ranch.
Or maybe Tiny Glade is what you get after the civilization in Dystopika wiped itself out and its ruins crumbled to dust.
Or maybe they’re separate but mirroring parallel universes (IE they both have themes of looks-good-until-you-look-closely, the state of the castle in the Tiny Glade reflects the state of society in Dystopika)
Oh man I want both of these so bad!
Also Tiny Glade reminds me a ton of this other chill out game called Townscaper. So much so that I feel like they must be directly influenced by it and possibly built off the procgen AI in it
thanks for putting tiny glade as a palate cleanser from the depressing dystopia of dystopika xD
Dystopika Jon is creating his version of Bladerunner.
He needs a massive Atari building.
A neat way to show off both games in one video, nicely done.
One of the best MATN vids. Hall of fame material for sure.
At the start, I was thinking, that Jon might try to fool us and lead us into believing those two games are just one game, in different cycles of the game. Like, after you reach some point in Tiny Glades, it transforms and becomes Dystopika 😂
How did you resist the temptation to give your dystopia a one way system?
The city you made needs a giant wheel next to the river. It would be more authentic for some reason.
BTW, if anybody plays Dystopika, you can pull the height of the buildings and it changes them into more advanced versions. It's VERY cool
He was cyberpunk, she was cottagecore, can I make it any more obvious?
MATN = True Nerd. Nerd^3 = Psycho that likes physics.
Jon! You missed the best part of tiny glade! (Or maybe it got cut for time) When you pet the sheep, they follow your mouse! So you can lead them into their new home! Also I don't know if you saw, but when you go into camera mode it turns your creation into a realistic diarama
These games need one of those combiner mods, like CK2 and Bannerlord did.
Jon plays Garden Folly Simulator, creates something more bonkers than the Victorians. Story checks out.
You should know that there's a vertical slider in Dystopika to make buildings taller (located at the building top), which unlock new building options so your pyramid could be even bigger and on par with Giza's pyramids... except digital and futuristic.
Dystopika reminds me a little bit of skid cities, fun citybuilder with a lot of verticality! think you might like that one jon
I like to imagine these 2 games takes place im the same universe, just in 2 different time frames.
As much as I enjoy the Tale of Two Cities title reference the switching between the two games back and forth does not work for me personally. Takes me a bit to get into the mood of the game only to have to adjust to something completely different.
Wonder Petz meets Cyberpunk 2077 - by God, Jon’s done it again 😂
This video was really well made!
"Good afternoon L jum I'm Jo us as many a true n and welcome to Tiny Glade." Good job, auto-caption.
i wasn't aware of Dystopika, just downloaded the demo and I'll totally try it out. It looks so cool
The circle in Tiny Glade is the Demo build area. It's bigger in release.
I just played these demos back-to-back. I'm now interested in both. I think your choice depends on your mental state haha
I feel like I have some kind of whiplash. Is aesthetic whiplash a thing?
Jon, if you want a fun little game to try for one video, I suggest the free demo for "Half Sword." Very fun and funny physics based medieval combat game.
NEW GENRE UNLOCKED: Chill out world builders.
Thank you for the video. I enjoy watching you build with great pleasure. Tiny Glade Creative Game. This is for me. I love to build, like with Legos or building blocks.🥰
Tiny Glade has the functionality that I wish planet coaster had
Take a shot every time Jon says “ya know”. You’ll be dead before the 15 minute mark.
Not gonna lie dystopia looks right up my alley
Well done!
This video's already a masterpiece and I'm 4 minutes in
After the twentieth, 'You knowaaaa' I'd had enough, sorry.

Can't believe Jon recreated the future of the real world in Dystopika.
10:00 Blade runner
much love
Is Claire addicted yet to Tiny Glade?
youtube compression had field day with dystopika. could anyone actually see anything but a few white pixels at any point?
Sadly, I really struggle to focus on this video constantly switching between 2 games. While I understand the amount of work that must have gone into editing this, it just doesn't work for me.

A double bill! Thats like if a yaogai in fallout was a duck instead of a bear!
Can you imagine how terrifying a flock of radgeese would be?
Do you think small time creators might use tools like these to make games?
So people who live in Dystopika play happy sheep grass game in a 6 hours of free time?
Engagement for the algorithm
I beg you play Skald please its fun and youd love the OG style of rpg 😢
I hate that branding worked on me.. . Tiny glade is a small air freshener?
15:19
Tiny Glade is not so tiny anymore
Not a fan of that format. I understand that the demos are short and probably not enough to fill a whole video, but the game-splicing made it even less clear what's going on.
Tiny Glade, I approve, but I don't see any meaning in the other game... what is the goal? I don't like the minimalism of it.
Seems like a pointless game to me but horses for courses
Day 139/1230 of requesting Jon play a game nobody will remember, like Majesty: A Fantasy Kingdom Sim.
Day 44 of requesting Jon play Okami HD
I’m sorry, but I couldn’t watch this video, *_because, like, y’know_* , you repeat certain words and phrases every few seconds.
1st
Didn't like this format the jumping back and forth was jarring
