I was worried the "blockers" in INSECTILE would annoy players - but many cited them as the best parts of the demo!

So, I'm working on new blocker types today : ) Bees leave honey splotches and water skimmers have armor that pops like bubble wrap!

Delighted to announce that the INSECTILE demo will be in Steam Animal Fest! I'm hoping this will be a great boost for my little indie game!🐌

So if you haven't already... now's the perfect time to piece bugs together 🐛 to form some attacks! 💥

Okay, I do a color sketch for every INSECTILE before I commit to its design. I normally don't share them but LOOK AT HOW THE EARTHWORM TURNED OUT! DONUT!

This week's Fan Art Friday celebrates Captain Wayne - Vacation Desperation! Accept the quest in your quest log to get started.

Over half of all INSECTILE wish lists were added in the last month. I could not be more grateful!

If you're an indie dev or any kind of creative - do not be discouraged!

I know scorpions aren't *quite* insects, but I am willing to make an exception for a super interesting shape. You also need a good mischievous-looking guy in a creature collector sometimes.

What other kinds of bugs should I add?

Introducing...

The Assassin Caterpillars!🐛

"But they're so cute I want to pet them..." DON'T! Touching their needles does 1 damage! Ouch!

Long-time fans will remember this tricky Insectile - I've circled back around to make her path finding even smarter!

I think it'll be a super fun break in exploration to avoid some flying stingers! 🐝
