Fun Fact: In a few mantis species, the female will sometimes eat the head of her partner when mating.

Lesser Known Fact: This gives the male mantis a more optimal attack formation.

I am SO excited for some of these new maps I'm making - It finally feels like I'm taking full advantage of that z axis!

I can't wait to see how this changes bug catching 🐝

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!

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 The Amazing Digital Circus! Accept the quest in your quest log to get started.

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! 🐝

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!
