Writing music is hard, but I hope you enjoy!

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 :)

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!

Our 2024 Advent Calendar has opened! Day 18: @Otis_Le_PoOtis is the Creator of Bondee’s Barnyard and posts updates about their dev journey and their work on the sequel!) Accept the quest and give them a follow to get Coins and a seasonal sticker!

I tried my hardest to make even Insectile's button prompts cute. Did it work?

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!

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 :)

Happy #WIPWednesday!

Are you working on a game?

Making some art?

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 :)
