Act 2 Pics
I leave you with some pics of Act 2's micro-world escapades:
I ran into this giant while scouting for tiny grasshoppers :)
Big spiders build big nests, Small spiders build small nests!
(observe the tiny instar and its nest on the center-right of the pic)
"Parallel lifecycles" depicting both the Jumping Spider and Grasshopper's growth, simultaneously, is one concept that was explored in the prototype.
New skin for the Female Jumping Spider
Mission Complete! On the verge of breaking free of its former skin, a 9th Instar Jumping Spider about to emerge, having survived and conquered "The Great Outdoors!"

Thanks again to everyone for your great patience in waiting for Act 2 all this while. I am confident that the Great Outdoors will provide you with several hours of enjoyment in return! :)
