Hello, I am a novice game developer who just started working on a 3d platformer inspired game called Escape from insect mansion.

The game will be about a mad scientist who shrunk himself and now needs to collect batteries to power their machine and return to their former size.

I have planned it for over a year and have some limited programming experience but have just started work on the game itself. I will hopefully try to update this about every week. (not anymore. I'm now going to update on the 25th)

In the meantime I currently have a very rough video showing an early menu prototype and some concept art.

Anyway I hope I have not rambled too much. Stay tuned.

I have an important announcement to make. Escape from Insect Mansion is going on hiatus until July 25 in order to polish some things and get some extra art done and be able to make a better first introduction.

I know this may be sad news to hear. To make it up to everybody I am planning on making a playable prototype for people to enjoy and mess around with. I don't yet know if the playable prototype will be on itch.io yet or if that will come later.

I'm sorry to break the bad news but the game's new introduction will look way more appealing then just a rough menu.  See you on the 25th.

After careful consideration I decided to change up my plans to reveal a bit more a bit earlier.

July 10th: informational video

July 15th: menu reveal video

July 20th: gameplay reveal video

July 25th: playable prototype releases to public

After the playable prototype development will continue but be slightly sidelined to give me a chance to work on other important things.

The informational video is now out. This video goes more in depth on the gameplay, story, and art.

Be warned, There may be some flashes in the video. This is due to how I handled the transition screen. Luckily, it shouldn't be an issue in the actual game.

I just released a page for Escape from Insect Mansion so I'm probably gonna use the devlog feature on that page instead from now on.
