What do you think?

This game is going to be 🔥

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..

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!

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!

Day 2 of cleaning up the menus in my insect RPG!

Now encounters have this smooth transition - It makes the buildup to finding a rare bug much more satisfying!🐛

Here's those honey bees I just posted up close! Adorable!

Finished up these cute honey bees up just in time to post today! They can clean up weak enemies with their damaging pollen!

Day 1 of cleaning up the menus in my game!

Still more to do, but it's already a lot easier to focus on the combat than it was!

I'm FINALLY working on a new effect for the game, "pollinate"! It does damage every turn AFTER enemy attacks.

It creates room for some awesome strategy and it's cute 🐝🐝🐝

New clovers! 🍀
I think these will allow me to make some really pretty rooms. The old ones were much chunkier and obviously tiled (2nd slide).

Working on literal dirt today. Something more organic than the squared-off stuff that's currently in the game (3rd slide).

Twinning! 🍄🐞

A plan for my game is a village of mushrooms where you can take side-quests finding each person an insect buddy!

The changes are live! Now it's way easier to see where your attacks will fall. Insectile placing has never felt better!🐌
