There won't be anything major changed, so the story you have all experienced will still be there! There are just some things here and there that need to be just a tad bit better

Gratitude <3

First and foremost, I need to express my gratitude to all of you who have played and loved My Insect Girl from the very beginning!! As most of you know, I am a solo developer and this was my first ever published game, so seeing the incredible responses from all of you really helped keep me motivated.

That being said... it's now been over a full year since the release of My Insect Girl!! So? What's next?

Before I get into the big things coming to this game, (because yes, My Insect Girl is getting new content!) there is a brand new game that I need to announce here for the first time!

Beach Episode!!

"You didn't want to spend your summer at the beach, but after being dragged there by your friend, you decide to make the most of it! Meet four unique girls and spend time with them to unlock and uncover their hidden stories, and maybe even fall in love in this heart-throbbing, rom-com visual novel!"

This next visual novel will take you to the beach for some fun in the sun!!

You can Wishlist the game here now!

[dynamiclink href="https://store.steampowered.com/app/3576230/Beach_Episode/"]

While there is no set in stone release date, I am hoping to get this out by the end of Summer 2026!! So keep your eyes peeled for that!

My Insect Girl... 2.0?

My Insect Girl was my baby for 3 whole years, and in that time every aspect of the game went through many.. MANY changes. Whether it be the art, the scripts, the code, all of it went through multiple renditions before ultimately settling on what it is today! However.. they could always be better, right?

Revamped Sprites

The sprites are probably the assets that look the best visually, but they will be getting some slight improvements to make them look even better!! Minor adjustments to the rendering and some of the poses.

CGs Redone

The CGs all need a lot of work to bring them up to the same quality of the sprites, especially the CGs seen in act 3. While act 3 may need the most work, every CG in My Insect Girl will be getting redrawn to correct anatomy, perspective, and rendering!

Brand New CGs

Some things I felt that were lacking in the final product, were the endings to the game. Something about them just didn't feel climactic enough. So, I am happy to announce that each of the 6 endings to the game will be getting their own unique CG to cap off each of the story's endings!

But how will you view these CGs after you get them... you may ask.

Yes, one of the biggest things that was requested of me after the launch of the game was the addition of a Gallery where you can go and view all the CGs you unlocked on your playthroughs! I initially left this feature out due to inexperience in coding on my part, but I can no longer use that as an excuse! You will soon have access to a gallery button on the main menu that will allow you to view CGs you unlock by playing the story!

Story Changes

Speaking of the story, there are some minor things that I need to change and add in to make it flow better, and come to a more satisfying conclusion! There won't be anything major changed, so the story you have all experienced will still be there! There are just some things here and there that need to be just a tad bit better

Final Words

That's about it for this announcement! Work on My Insect Girl 2.0 will begin right after the release of Beach Episode, and you can expect to see it around the time of the 2 year anniversary for the game! And please make sure to wishlist Beach Episode now so you get notified of its release!!

I hope this post has gotten you excited, and I will keep you all updated on things about both games moving forward!
