As I'm reviewing the entries for #InsectileContest, I'd love some feedback on the new bug collecting animation!

How can I make it more satisfying? (Or soul crushing, for failures?)

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!

It's Halloween! let's talk about SCARE.

I know scorpions aren't *quite* insects, but I am willing to make an exception for a super interesting shape. You also need a good mischievous-looking guy in a creature collector sometimes.

What other kinds of bugs should I add?

Delighted to announce that the INSECTILE demo will be in Steam Animal Fest! I'm hoping this will be a great boost for my little indie game!🐌

So if you haven't already... now's the perfect time to piece bugs together 🐛 to form some attacks! 💥

which one hmmmm

shitty ahh book cover??

anyways ill be posting the speedpaint too

Introducing...

The Assassin Caterpillars!🐛

"But they're so cute I want to pet them..." DON'T! Touching their needles does 1 damage! Ouch!

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!

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 🐝
