Some more concept art today. This time something a little more productive than just another random enemy The actual baseline for Mantis designs in Bugdeon! (Because there are currently none and there's an entire group of enemies that're supposed to be made for them still XvX|||)

Starting off a little simple Some more concept art for Bugdeon. This one's sorta a mish-mash of a few ideas I've had so this might get reworked if anything

Bit late to it (by about a week) but I actually got an response from my Strawpage after ages since setting it up so I can actually answer it now! ^v^ Mostly to provide a proper detailed response, I'll be making this a thread :>

Funnily enough, the little lore rework I did to Beetle has actually inspired me to go back and change some of Bugdeon's older mechanics and lore. Ain't that crazy?? For now here's a fun little lore teaser of sorts I'm working on And yes, it will have some in-game functionality too ^v^

Decided to actually work on this 'n made a small lil' lore thing around it. May or may not scrap the concept Since there's a bit 'a blood on this one I'm puttin' a graphic media label on it again -v-|||

A bit short on ideas admittingly but here's some more Bugdeon concept art

The Bugdeon Archive @bugdeonarchive.bsky.social · 30/07/2025

I doubt this'll really work out but I wanna ask anyways purely just for any kind of feedback I wanna add a bit to Beetle's character. Literally since their conception they've been written as "generically standard guy in leader role" and I've been thinking of giving them a bit more depth So, TLDR:

A very friendly butterfly who just wants a big ol' hugggggg~! ^v^ (Despite how absolutely wacky this design is, it's still connected to Bugdeon)

The Bugdeon Archive @bugdeonarchive.bsky.social · 13/07/2025

Wow today's art sure got weird didn't it?? Anywho, this is another one 'a the game's Chance Time event NPCs named Birdwing! (Which also means they're not that major) Design-wise, they're partially inspired by biblically accurate angels, alongside the similarly named group of Birdwing butterflies

One of various birdwing butterflies (more specifically in this case, a Queen Alexandra's Birdwing).

One of many depictions of a biblically accurate angel

Guess who finally got Tabletop Simulator??? (For the record this isn't going to speed up development in the slightest, it just means that I can make this hypothetically playable now)

More concept art relating to Bugdeon. This time for a 2nd phase for Phorid Fly, one of the in-game bosses Kinda have to put a content label on this one since it's a teensy bit graphic (literally impaling yourself with your own weapon graphic but the details are minimal thankfully)

Something that's been kinda on my mind when it comes to coming up with coin drops, max Mana, or other numerical values for Bugdeon is really the SCALE of it all. I'm not a game dev in the slightest so I don't know how to describe it, but here's a crudely drawn image to hopefully convey my point

Fun fact about today's art: It's literally the largest character drawing I've done for this project currently By MS Paint scales, they're roughly 499 x 577px Death's-Head Hawkmoth is ~ 562 x 327px and Wasp is ~ 424 x 405px

The Bugdeon Archive @bugdeonarchive.bsky.social · 12/05/2025

This is all probably an itsy bit confusing, especially given this is literally just a pre-existing boss (Stagger, who I'll have a pic of here) but dead, so I may as well explain the concept with this thread, that being: Alternate Routes / Quests!

Got a goofy concept for Bugdeon. Here's a lil' teaser

The Bugdeon Archive @bugdeonarchive.bsky.social · 03/05/2025

Welp, today's officially the day! Exactly 1 year ago as of me typing this, the first bit of art and concept material was provided for Bugdeon in the form of Beetle as the very first player character! Bugdeon is now officially 1 year old!! Hurray(???)

The original Twitter post showcasing Beetle, released on the 3rd of May, 2024.

The Bugdeon Archive @bugdeonarchive.bsky.social · 28/04/2025

This project's almost a year old soon! Can you bee-lieve it?? I do have SOMETHING planned for the special day, but I dunno if it'll really be good (mostly because what I have planned is just a long rant video about the game I never got to disclose yet)

A bit of a small fun fact thread about this outfit: Spider was intended to be far more red instead of purple. If you saw my custom Balatro cards I posted a bit ago, you may have noticed Spider uses a lot of red on their card (in part to being a reference to Boyfriend FNF)

April Fools is over so I can safely say that Shmunkle Bug Fables isn't a real character and will not be added Also, since the whole joke of this post sadly got put as a hidden reply, here's the image that was attached in the replies without the ""spoiler""

For obvious reasons, this is an April Fools joke.

What isn't a joke is me hoping that you have a great rest of your day if you are reading this! Make sure 'ya have fun today and stay safe ^v^

Hi everyone today we're going to be adding the 100% highly fan requested character "Shmunkle Bug Fables" into Bugdeon. More details will be revealed over the coming week, but for now here's his artwork. He is very lore relevant!

More bugs!! Hurray!! First thing I wanna explain before all the lore is some minor trivia regarding the design: 1: This is the first Butterfly to be added into Bugdeon! (Basically every future design will also look this... "contorted") 2: They're (partially) based off of a standard Painted Lady
