The first mushroom person from that vote a couple weeks back. The decision to make the cap spin was impulsive, but I am glad I did it.
What would this NPC say?

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 :)
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!
Working on some more enemy actions for my indie game.
Snails and other Insectiles with shells can now "take cover" which shields a portion of their body.
This is like the Tetris equivalent of a defense buff!

is a great Creator who makes Five Nights at Freddy's fan games! Accept the quest and give them a follow to get Coins and a seasonal sticker!
Unlike any indie game I've done before, I have this goal with Insectile that the maps should feel "cute" even when zoomed out. At some point, I'd love to do a time lapse of me building one of these rooms :)

I'm working on cutscene features like smooth camera movements. Enjoy a snippet of this prototype tutorial!
@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! 
)
I've been hard at work on level design sketches the past couple weeks. Maybe I'll post some soon so you all can peek at my process! Stay tuned :)
