It’s been 6 months since my last update. Since today is the 1 year anniversary of Dord, now is as good a time as ever!
First of all, thank you! It’s a great feeling to still be getting messages in my inbox for a game I made a year ago.
Second, I’ve been working on a secret project that is still quite some time from release. There isn’t a game page yet… but here is a little teaser gif, and be sure to stay tuned!
Have a happy sunday!

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 :)
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 :(
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! 
#screenshotsaturday is back! If you are interested in my newest projects, stay tuned for more screenshots and promo artwork over on Belle Boomerang's GameJolt page!
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 :)
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 :)
Wow! Where are all these new followers coming from? Thank you!
New followers, which Insectile is your favorite (so far)? 
For those of you who missed it, Belle Boomerang is my newest project! If you enjoyed Dord, why not give Belle's new platforming adventure a look?

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