This may be somewhat surprising, but I actually draw every INSECTILE in high resolution! The pixel-y effect is applied AFTER the creatures (and set pieces) in my game are fully drawn for an extra cute retro punch!

Would you still love me if I was a worm? (Sorry, my girlfriend said I had to use that caption.)

Build a couple attack boards out of insects with me!

I've been doing game backgrounds for 8 years (time flies) and I think my polish work on INSECTILE has been some of the most satisfying yet.

Two new insects to collect from my indie game! Cicadas (left) can slice down columns of enemies! Cicada *shells* (right)... Aren't as productive : /

Stick is one of my favorite effects in INSECTILE because of how it lets you bypass these caterpillar guys' little stingers. It's also super satisfying that all the damage pops at once!

Just make it exist first - You can make it good later.

Testing new enemy attacks. LOOK AT WHAT THEY DID TO MY SWEET BUGS 😭😭

Long-time fans will remember this tricky Insectile - I've circled back around to make her path finding even smarter! I think it'll be a super fun break in exploration to avoid some flying stingers! 🐝 #pixelart #gamedev #indiegames

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? #pixelart #gamedev #indiegame #indierpg

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! #indierpg #indiegames #gamedev #pixelart

Introducing... The Assassin Caterpillars!🐛 "But they're so cute I want to pet them..." DON'T! Touching their needles does 1 damage! Ouch! #gamedev #indiegame #pixelart #indierpg

I was initially worried that the "blockers" in INSECTILE would annoy players... but many cited them as the most interesting parts of the demo! So, I'm working on new blocker types today : ) Bees now leave honey splotches and water skimmers have armor that pops like bubble wrap! #gamedev #indiegame

Fun Fact: In a few mantis species, the female will sometimes eat the head of her partner when mating. Lesser Known Fact: This gives the male mantis a more optimal attack formation. Love is beautiful💙 #pixelart #indiegame #gamedev #indierpg
