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!

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 :)

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!

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 :)

@AnubiArts is a Jolter to Watch! They post great pixel and low poly art! Follow them before the quest ends on December 31 and you'll get Coins!

I'm working on cutscene features like smooth camera movements. Enjoy a snippet of this prototype tutorial!
