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

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 :)

Ooooh I'm so excited. I'm starting to get a lot of rooms for the demo finalized. Sadly, it's too spoiler-y to post full level designs, so all I can share are these super zoomed out and incomprehensible shots of the Godot editor. Sorry :(

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 :)

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!

Working on designing an underground tile set for my indie game. Am I on the right track?

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!
