Update 1.4.0 - Difficulty Swapping!

If things get tough, there's no need to start from the beginning!


The big feature of this update is difficulty swapping! If you begin a file in "retro" mode, you may now switch to "newcomer" mode at any point. Please note that this conversion is one way. There is no bumping up the difficulty from an easier file!

Misc.

  • You may now swap the difficulty to "newcomer" from a "retro" file. This can be done from the "file select" screen.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed a bug where the boomerang sound effect would play for far too long.

  • Fixed a soft lock in Act 2 where the player could leave behind the Bellion, locking themselves in a pit.

  • Fixed a bug in Act 3 where Belle and all of the enemies would disappear.

  • Fixed a couple of background inconsistencies corresponding to Act 3.

  • Fixed a soft lock in Act 4 where the player could defeat the boss prematurely.

I apologize that this update came so soon after 1.3.2. Thank you once again to all of the new players! Feel free to reach out with any further bug reports and suggestions.

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 will start answering questions in 15 minutes!

For this #ScreenshotSaturday, I have a little Before and After! This is Act 1 of Belle Boomerang 5 years ago and today! Look at how much the game's grown!

(Psst! There are new Belle Boomerang stickers in my Creator Sticker Pack! Enjoy!)

It's been a while, but here's another "Before and After"! This time, it's for The Phantom's Library! How do you feel about the changes made? Also, don't forget that Belle Boomerang is 50% off for just a couple more days!

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 :)

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

@gamejolt I'm having a hard time completing this quest. Is it a bug or something? (Thank you so much for including me in the advent calendar! Huge thanks to all of you checking at my profile, as well! )

Do you love Belle Boomerang? Do you love Bugs? If you answered "yes" to either of those questions, you are bound to love my new game, Insectile! Wishlist on Steam! https://store.steampowered.com/app/3045270/Insectile/

Ask me anything August 15th at 11am ET! Join me on reddit.com/r/NintendoSwitch/.

My favorite questions will win a Nintendo Switch game key!

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!
