I log on today to... 4k followers!? What!?

Should I do something special? Q&A? Something else? Sorry I'm not more prepared, but thank you all so much!

It may just be me, but I think this effect is really cute:

With Bubble, you can build a temporary shield. Each tile placed soaks up 1 damage from the next round of attacks. I was inspired by Diving Bell Spiders : )

Madeline is the main protagonist of the mountain climbing platformer, Celeste. The game has been praised for its visuals, gameplay, and introspective narrative. The game's creator Maddy Thorson confirmed that Madeline is trans in 2020.

Trying out something new!

I have a long-form video coming out in about an hour. Give it a watch if you like creature collectors, challenge runs, or just hearing devs talk!

Dive into the cozy post-apocalyptic open world of Critter Cove!

Gentleman Rat Studios (@GR-Rob ) describe it as “a little bit Animal Crossing, a little bit Stardew Valley. Maybe even a little bit Windwaker, too."

Working on a feature that should've been in the demo to begin with... a map! As the Insectile world expands, it will become necessary for thorough exploration!

It's Insect Week!

To celebrate, you should play the Insectile Demo!

It has:

- Ladybugs 🐞

- Caterpillars 🐛

- Crickets 🦗

- and many more cute crawlies!

Mae Borowski is the main character of Night in the Woods! It's an adventure game that tells the story of her return to her hometown of Possum Springs. She was confirmed as canonically pan in a social media post by the game's creator Scott Benson.

Following demo feedback, I've been trying to design more large encounters.

The fireflies are a great example! Lots more space for big bugs!
