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 :)

Working on portraits for key characters today. I think these will add a LOT of expression to text boxes. Who looks better?

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!

Our 2024 Advent Calendar has opened! Day 28: @Silentfaith is a great Creator and comic artist who also codes fan games! Accept the quest and give them a follow to get Coins and a seasonal sticker!

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!

@blurryspirits is a Jolter to Watch! They create Pokémon fan art and more! Follow them before the quest ends on January 14 and you'll get Coins!

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!

@gamejolt I'm having a hard time completing this quest. Is it a bug or something? (Thank you so much for including me in the advent calendar! Huge thanks to all of you checking at my profile, as well! )

Happy #WIPWednesday!

Are you working on a game?

Making some art?

Practicing a song?

Something else?

Tell us in the comments!

Writing music is hard, but I hope you enjoy!
