I am sketching out the rest of world 1's bug collection, but I can't help but feel like it needs something else. I want world 1 to feel packed with variety!
Any ideas? What other traits does this collection still need?

A spider maybe?

Narwhalnut @Narwhalnut6/21/2024, 2:40 PM

You caught me! :) A spider has been a frequent sketch for world 1. I haven't finalized him yet, though. Glad to hear it's a good fit! I'm just having trouble deciding on a tile pattern/silhouette shape.

Robot Face @robotface6/21/2024, 2:45 PM

Almost all of these bugs are very round and plump, so if you're looking for something different maybe a daddy longlegs with long, thin, and angular legs?

Narwhalnut @Narwhalnut6/21/2024, 3:17 PM

Angular is a very good thought! Daddy long legs are very fun proportions. Thank you for the ideas! 🐌

WOODLOUSE

YOU KNOW IT IN YOUR HEART

Narwhalnut @Narwhalnut6/21/2024, 3:32 PM

I'd love to put a woodlouse - What is a woodlouse? :)

Crabbit Slater @Crabbit-Slater6/21/2024, 4:17 PM

Ah! okay, in the US I think they're called pillbugs- they have a bunch of regional names apparently! woodlouse is the common name in england and aus it seems!

Justin Stewart @Seymour-Demonica6/21/2024, 5:49 PM

Ah, yeah! We also call them rollie pollies. Some of the only insects I'd not mind being around.

Narwhalnut @Narwhalnut6/21/2024, 11:53 PM

Rollie Pollies is how I knew them most of my childhood :)

Narwhalnut @Narwhalnut6/21/2024, 11:53 PM

Ohh- yes! I love pill bugs! I will definitely get one in the game! Don't worry! :)

Justin Stewart @Seymour-Demonica6/21/2024, 5:48 PM

I suggested a silk moth a while ago, as they're both alien and beautiful. So, soft reminder!

Narwhalnut @Narwhalnut6/21/2024, 11:56 PM

Don't worry - silk moths are definitely coming! I'm thinking they'll align better with the battle mechanics of world 2 ;)

Narwhalnut @Narwhalnut6/21/2024, 11:56 PM

Thank you! 🐌

website,,, mascot,,,

Narwhalnut @Narwhalnut6/21/2024, 11:56 PM

Haha, do you mean the fly at the bottom? He does kind of look like the mascot!

bat @fruitbat6/22/2024, 9:25 AM

yeah it's definitely an eggbug type fly :3

wretch @wretch6/22/2024, 2:22 PM

i agree w/ other posters that a spider or daddy longlegs, something spindly, would help add a bit of variety! or maybe a mantis? those are very "long and thin" without being quite as spindly, so they might fit in better with the art style while still adding shape variety?

also maybe a beetle of some type, like a jewel bug?

Narwhalnut @Narwhalnut6/23/2024, 9:51 PM

A mantis is a good thought! A jewel bug would also be super cool as a rare find - maybe he would reward treasure :)

Council of Chaos @Soulhome6/25/2024, 4:41 AM

Stick bug maybe?

Narwhalnut @Narwhalnut6/26/2024, 12:02 AM

Noted! He'd be a very different shape :) Thank you for the feedback!
