A solid start with the demo, looking forward to see more of the setting in the interim until 2026's release date.

I love the design of the snail in the game!

yo.. we’re both making bug games.. your Insectile, my Bugable… sorry if my games idea was to close to yours..

Brigadeiro @Nightfoxy25Animations

Looks interesting and charming, even though I myself don't like bugs, I'm looking forward to it!

I've heard this is a collection game, I LOVE THOSE!

Insectile Demo (Old)

Version: 1.0.5about 2 months ago

Find bugs, catch bugs, and piece bugs together! Explore a huge, whimsical world as a little mushroom in this clever, turn-based RPG about puzzlingly-shaped insects!

Wishlist on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3045270/Insectile/

Find Bugs

These creatures we call “Insectiles” hide under every rock and within every crevice! Finding them is not so easy when you are small. Explore giant gardens, uncover secret pathways, and hop across lily pads in search of each and every Insectile!

Catch Bugs

Every Insectile is a potential teammate! Collecting them all will require careful observation of their behavior: Bring tasty snacks, chase energetic crickets, morph new species, and even dodge bowling lemons to grapple these unique creatures!

Piece Bugs Together

Battle against enemy Insectiles with a distinct mixture of puzzle and strategy! Synergize your new Insectile teammates with complementary shapes or abilities. Insectile combat is quick, satisfying, and rewarding of clever combinations!

Sorry for the inactivity. I've been drawing moldy fruits and vegetables. Tasty!

In all seriousness, progress on the Insectile demo is going great! It's just all stuff that I'm not quite ready to show yet. Stay tuned!

There's a Mario 64 interview where the developers claimed they wanted the avatar to feel like a little hamster scurrying around.
Given Insectile's unique scale, I'm trying to capture that same cute and frantic feeling... just with puzzle blocks, too :)

I tried my hardest to make even Insectile's button prompts cute. Did it work?

Insectile has these occasional rooms that break from typical RPG level design and are almost more 3D Mario-esc.

They are almost always completely optional, but I think they'll make for excellent variety!

I'm currently writing bestiary flavor text... What kinds of little bits of flavor do you all like seeing in games?

Are these names fun? Cute? Nonsense?
I am trying out this defamiliarized naming scheme for the different species in Insectile. I'd love any feedback!

Unlike any indie game I've done before, I have this goal with Insectile that the maps should feel "cute" even when zoomed out.
At some point, I'd love to do a time lapse of me building one of these rooms :)

I've been hard at work on level design sketches the past couple weeks. Maybe I'll post some soon so you all can peek at my process! Stay tuned :)

I'm working on cutscene features like smooth camera movements. Enjoy a snippet of this prototype tutorial!
