Maps and Menus!

Version 1.2.0 of the Insectile Demo is here!

There is very little new content this time around. Instead, this update is mostly quality of life changes related to the user interface. I’ve also included the patch notes for the previous two versions, which seemed too minor to feature on their own.

User Interface Changes

  • All sections of the inventory have been remodeled.

  • Insectile and item icons now cast a slight shadow behind them in all menus.

  • When opening the inventory, it will now jump to the last tab you were in.

  • The “Insectiles” section has been broken into pages.

  • The “Map” section has been added to the inventory.

    Please note: If you have previously played the demo, the map will start blank. Rooms will need to be traversed to reveal them on the map.

  • The “Bestiary” section has been broken into pages.

  • The “Bestiary” section now shows silhouettes of all missing entries.

Gameplay Changes

  • The Fiery Form Caster now changes shape after each usage.

Glitches

  • Fixed an inconsistency in the Soothe tutorial. (1.1.1)

  • Fixed a glitch with the Tame Gauge in multi-phase encounters. (1.1.2)

Other

  • Changed the placement order of Insectiles in the Scare tutorial, for clarity.

  • Adjusted the color of the silhouette when taming an Insectile slightly.

  • Fixed a coloration error on the Crawling Olives.

  • Adjusted the mixing in the track “Powerful Pincers” (boss battle music).

  • Compressed audio files.

Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any feedback on the demo and stay tuned for a super special announcement coming tomorrow!

I hope you all enjoy!
