Last weekend we showed our beetle catching game at the National Insect Expo. Bug enthusiasts of all ages came by! We had the game, bug-portraits, colouring-in, 'suggest a beetle', dioramas and merch. It was so much fun! After MIGW we'll post about it on instagram www.instagram.com/intarsia.stu...

👀🪲❤️ Woah what's this weird exclusive game demo for "Beetols They Do It" doing at Parallel Play? I wonder if you catch beetles 🐞, build them a town🏡, help them make best friends 😘 etc. (hypothesis only) You should go play it at ACMI on Friday the 9th, and check out all these other incredible games✨

So picture needing to get help opening a stuck jar lid but instead it is me needing help to cut open a packet of noodles because I've misplaced my left-handed scissors.

Our launch trailer is entirely in Black and White. Because marketing isn't real, we wanted it to look like a short of the period film.

The fact AI is doing more harm to games by increasing the cost of PCs & consoles than AI actually being able to 'make' anything worth playing is certainly a fun little thing to think about whilst I start planning to optimise everything I make to run on a potato.
