Tiny Glade's winter update finally lets me turn my castles into that scene from National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation

Even though castle doodling simulator Tiny Glade has a lot of flexibility in letting your imagination run wild, the game still features a few restrictions that can affect your builds. A prime example of this is the limitation on how many lights you can adorn your buildings with. Usually, you're stuck with a measly 32, but thanks to a new winter update, now you can add enough lights to make your builds visible from space.

As part of the update, the light limit has been removed entirely, so you can douse every last inch of brick with a light if you so desire. It's bound to make for some fantastically whimsical creations over the holidays. I've already shared my admiration for other players' creativity in Tiny Glade, but this new mechanic is only going to reinforce that. The intensity of lights can also be adjusted, so whether you want a blindingly bright spotlight or a dimmer, more warming atmosphere, you'll be able to manipulate light to whatever suits your build best.
