New Bug Alert! 🦋⚠️

I always appreciated that games like Pokémon gave both cute and cool options to its creature choices (Bulbasaur vs. Charmander), so I wanted to offer a scarier alternative to my game's cutesy caterpillars and snails!

More on the way!

I log on today to... 4k followers!? What!?

Should I do something special? Q&A? Something else? Sorry I'm not more prepared, but thank you all so much!

Okay, this one's silly:

An unsuspecting beach ball you can kick around... but it's actually a pill bug in disguise.

Following demo feedback, I've been trying to design more large encounters.

The fireflies are a great example! Lots more space for big bugs!

Madeline is the main protagonist of the mountain climbing platformer, Celeste. The game has been praised for its visuals, gameplay, and introspective narrative. The game's creator Maddy Thorson confirmed that Madeline is trans in 2020.

I'm revising the date of #InsectileContest just a bit!

Since the winner will not be decided until at least Monday morning, I will be accepting submissions through Sunday night : ) There is still plenty of time to design your own puzzlingly-shaped bug!

Dive into the cozy post-apocalyptic open world of Critter Cove!

Gentleman Rat Studios (@GR-Rob ) describe it as “a little bit Animal Crossing, a little bit Stardew Valley. Maybe even a little bit Windwaker, too."

Placeholder sprite, but I'm working on a new Insectile! I hope they will make the water areas feel much more alive!

Trying out something new!

I have a long-form video coming out in about an hour. Give it a watch if you like creature collectors, challenge runs, or just hearing devs talk!

Mae Borowski is the main character of Night in the Woods! It's an adventure game that tells the story of her return to her hometown of Possum Springs. She was confirmed as canonically pan in a social media post by the game's creator Scott Benson.
