The game is heavily influenced by the players’ feedback, even if I’m doing this as a passion project for the original work and a learning process to eventually create my own game, real people are playing it, sharing their opinion and reporting bugs. That engagement is very gratifying and I want to be a part of it as much as possible.
it's a very positive thing! You actually care about the opinions of the people that play your game. I'm not the best at english so sorry if i sound a bit scuffed
Для игроков, которые играют в русскую версию. Если есть какие-то огрехи с переводом, форматом текста (выход за рамки и т.д.), можете писать мне в Тг, возьму на заметку и как-нибудь попробую это исправить в следующем обновлении, если ноут, позволит это сделать.
I’ll be having some though times at work this week. If I don’t answer when you send me the link it’s because I couldn’t yet find some time to handle the build.
So youre telling me that a big company may take 2-3 years making a game update full of bugs and crashes and that this talented mf over here can do an update in 2 fckn weeks and still deliver?
I wish I was that good hahaha. I think the time between updates is more due to the right conditions, other than skill alone.
Since this is a remake, a lot of the work is already done, like the CGs, which would be the hardest part. The sound effects and many BGMs are reused from the original game as well and I’ve had help from people from time to time to speed things.
Since the last 2 versions, for example, I’ve had a friend help me with some of the features, which boosts a lot the development time.
So, the game freezes the screen in battle when there is going to be some spicy scene with the monsters... This always happens when I skip the texts too quickly.
With the option OFF, scenes load faster, but the transitions between stages take a few seconds in the worst cases. When the option is ON, the screen stays black for a few seconds at the start, but the transitions between stages are instantaneous.
Basically the first option consumes more CPU, and the second consumes more RAM, so you could try turning it ON and see if it improves the scenes for you. If it does not, then I’ll need more details on the exact issue you’re having, so I can try to reproduce and attempt to fix it :)
Кеша был на работе неделю, только приехал домой. Думаю через пару дней отправлю разрабу перевод. Потому что с моим старым и лагающим ноутом, это дело не быстрое. Был бы новый и шустрый, то быстрее бы сделал перевод.
It is hard to say, my job is taking more of my time lately and I had to move out of the city. Even with help the next version may take at least 2 weeks, but I can’t say for sure if it won’t take a bit more.
I know this is something not many would want to see in the game, but would there be potential to see big bellies or pregnancy? I would be okay if it was just more birth scenes instead of only the one with the wharf-roach.
There will be more birth scenes :), not many more, but at least 2 or 3 more I think.
Belly change visuals might be a possibility for the future, after 1.0, complex pregnancy mechanics are a bit unlikely. It will depend on how the remake progresses after 1.0.
The game only goes as far as the swamp and the quarry? I've done everything and I can't get anywhere, is there something specific to advance or do I need to wait for updates?
Hi Eroism, I'm interested in the game, but I don't understand the mechanics of pregnancy. From cockroaches, the meaning changes after the end of the egg introduction scene, but nothing changes with the rest who can do it. And I think that the mechanics have not been completed yet, or is something not working for me? (I play from android, on version 0.70 of the game) (And I'm sorry I wrote a question through a translator because I don't know English)
Hello, Erosim!I wanted to know if other characters like VISCARIA (Atera) and VISCARIA (Terra), as well as Cross breed_MAINE, DL-02, Atera, Insect Warning_Correction of CG, released earlier, would be created.The gallery is very large, so it will be difficult to list all the characters. However, I can provide you with a link to content related to Mushi no Kangoku and other characters.Thank you for understanding!
That is a good question, and I’m not sure I can give you an answer right now, as new scenes and characters will only be added after 1.0, depending on the remake progression and available CGs that I have access to, but you could share those with me so I could check what other content exists :).
Unfortunately, there is a bug in the recall scenes feature, so I don’t know exactly which scenes can and can’t be unlocked, but I know that you can’t unlock all of the 18 right now.
Hard to say at the moment. In the original game I think only the Wharf Roach had it, however after reaching the end point of the remake I might add more Game Over scenes, or not, depending on which direction the remake takes.
You can't use it as is, according to 0.60 changelog, if you want to watch the scene you need to have 3 or more lewdness and 40% or more lust, then just explore the forest until you find a bugshroom then you'll have the scene.
Correct. The scene needs those specific conditions to trigger while finding Bugshrooms in the forest. Other than that, the item can be sold to Rumia for SP, but nothing more at the moment.
Unfortunately it would be hard to reduce the size, since it would impact the quality of the animations on desktop. Something like 85%-90% of the game’s size comes from the CGs, which have been upscaled.
The decompressed game in Android should weight only about 1.1 Gb, so my recommendation would be to download and decompress on PC, and then transfer the game to your device by USB, that way you can avoid the duplicate size due to having both the archive and decompressed in disk.
Hi, Eroism , I really like the game and your work on it. I wondered if we could have a track list for the game, especially the menu theme, wich is a banger. Searched in the credits but I could only find artists names and shazam can't help me on this one.
When I get the time I’ll add them to the readme.txt, there is a problem however, many of the tracks don’t have metadata, so I don’t know their source as well.
I’m using about 85% of the original game’s tracks, some had to be replaced for licensing reasons, but only the ones I replaced on the remake I know the sources by certain.
Are the Parasite Worms and the Mushroom Bugs supposed to be the same thing? They have different names and colors, but they dont really seem to act or look differently during any sleeping scenes, nor do they give any different effects or dialog. They are also basically the same thing according to the status menu.
Anyways, it was just something i was curious about since they are clearly somewhat different from each other according to the text, but dont really do anything else that sets them apart.
They should be different, but functionally, they are the same. The original game does not have CGs for the Mushroom Worms, but I do think Atella had intended to make specific scenes for them.
I’ve just confirmed and it seems to be unfortunately :(.
The only workaround currently is to delete settings.dat in the game’s data folder. On Android it might be difficult to access due to its permissions however.
The game engine supports from Android 7 up to Android 14, so in theory it should work fine.
That being said, I can only physically test on Android 11, so I can’t say for sure it will work in any other version. Does it give you any expressive error or log during installation? With such information I might be able to check what is going on.
Upon investigation, I've noticed a peculiar trend with other similar applications, such as [e.g. W2C] downloaded from itch io. These apps, which have a minimum SDK requirement significantly lower than the currently required SDK level of 23, are not using Android 14 as their target version. This suggests that there may be flexibility in the minimum SDK requirement for certain apps, depending on the targeted Android version and platform specifications.
I believe it depends on the engine, as normally they would need to support a vast number of devices, so they tend to cover the versions with more usage.
Your previous information was very valuable, as it led me to explore the code of the exporting Android target and I found out that indeed, the minimal SDK in the code is 21, so the default setting on the build is not matching with the actual code on the export.
But I can rebuild a custom export with the tweaked minimal SDK set to 24, so I’ll try that. Thank you for the test offer, I may take you up on that.
Hi, I'm kinda stuck on the cliff where I can mine stuff and I don't know how to continue further... Could you help me? Yes, I've got the pickaxe, I can mine stuff.
If you already have a pickaxe, then just go to the cliff, climb Ladder, and click on any ore vein. You will obtain iron ore, which you need to craft weapons and armor, and another pickaxe if this one breaks.
You have to click the audio settings again to raise the value. each click raises the volume of said setting by 10%, when it gets to 100% it resets to 0%.
If settings are bugging out (which shouldn’t happen as far as I know), you can try deleting the app data and opening the app again, that way a new settings file will be created and the volumes will be restored to 100%.

When version 0.75 is released will there be a version for Android?
Yes, all new versions are released at the “same time” for the 3 platforms (Android, Linux and Windows) :).
when is the next update. love the game
Hey there luka9,
I’ve answered this yesterday in one of the replies below :).
The rough estimate would be end of next week, but it will also depend on my job’s workload for next week.
It surprises me how active you are with the community
Hopefully that is a good thing :).

What is the estimated time for version 0.75? Very good game I would like more updates
It is hard to give you a realistic estimate on version 0.75, but most likely will be ready by the end of next week.
If work doesn’t slow down, however, I’m not sure if I’ll be capable of delivering by the intended timeline.
Will there be wasp and some lewd flower?
It is very likely that the wasp and flowers scenes will be added, but only after version 1.0.
Today I will finish translating version 0.70, upload it to a file sharing service and most likely send it to Eroism tomorrow.
I’ll be having some though times at work this week. If I don’t answer when you send me the link it’s because I couldn’t yet find some time to handle the build.
Ок
I have sent the translation files
Thanks for the heads up, I’ll handle the build as soon as I have some time :).
Help me pls, how can i find a banana bug and place where it is
It's not yet in the game, according to the roadmap it will be available in version 0.95.
Okay, I'll be waiting. I'm doing the translation, but I can't play the Russian version on the PC, the laptop freezes a lot. It is sad
How much insects are now and when gonna be the Next update?
It depends on what exactly you want to know, are you asking for the amount of enemy encounters, scenes or different insects present in scenes?
Regarding the next update, it may take up to 2 weeks, most likely.
How to find banana bug?
(thanks for this game)
The banana event will only be added in version 0.95 :).
Thank you, I've already started to think I'm so unlucky
So youre telling me that a big company may take 2-3 years making a game update full of bugs and crashes and that this talented mf over here can do an update in 2 fckn weeks and still deliver?
Fck yeah
Also
I think there might be an error with the recall mechanic
Indeed, there is a bug with the feature unfortunately and many scenes are not unlockable.
It will be fixed on version 0.75 :).
I wish I was that good hahaha. I think the time between updates is more due to the right conditions, other than skill alone.
Since this is a remake, a lot of the work is already done, like the CGs, which would be the hardest part. The sound effects and many BGMs are reused from the original game as well and I’ve had help from people from time to time to speed things.

Dude do you know the organization skills neded to do something like that even if you are getting help you are a very skilled person
Thank you for the compliment :). I hope I can keep improving on those skills and find the time to work on the game.
There should be a more extreme version of the lust weather with a 5% of a occurring were it makes it max lust.
What would be your intention with this max lust chance?
It was the only example of having more extreme weather.
The bad thing about this game is finding new places and new monsters, if it were easier, this game would definitely be my favorite!😳
Most things should come naturally with using the Explore in maps and triggering H events. Which locations and bugs are you having trouble finding?
So, the game freezes the screen in battle when there is going to be some spicy scene with the monsters... This always happens when I skip the texts too quickly.
Oh I misunderstood. You’re having issues with the scenes themselves. Are you using the “Preload Anims” option?
No, what does that change? Do I have to leave it on?
With the option OFF, scenes load faster, but the transitions between stages take a few seconds in the worst cases. When the option is ON, the screen stays black for a few seconds at the start, but the transitions between stages are instantaneous.
Basically the first option consumes more CPU, and the second consumes more RAM, so you could try turning it ON and see if it improves the scenes for you. If it does not, then I’ll need more details on the exact issue you’re having, so I can try to reproduce and attempt to fix it :)
Спасибо Кеше за перевод, вопрос где новый....
Кеша ушел за хлебом
Но обещал вернуться
Кеша был на работе неделю, только приехал домой. Думаю через пару дней отправлю разрабу перевод. Потому что с моим старым и лагающим ноутом, это дело не быстрое. Был бы новый и шустрый, то быстрее бы сделал перевод.
Легенда нашего времени
Your game is really great. When will the next version be released
Thank you for the support!
It is hard to say, my job is taking more of my time lately and I had to move out of the city. Even with help the next version may take at least 2 weeks, but I can’t say for sure if it won’t take a bit more.

The game only goes as far as the swamp and the quarry? I've done everything and I can't get anywhere, is there something specific to advance or do I need to wait for updates?
I’m not sure which locations you unlocked, but if you check some of the answers that I gave, below, currently you only have:
Story wise, there are still parts missing, so you can only go as far as having Rumia’s info on your objectives.
Hi Eroism, I'm interested in the game, but I don't understand the mechanics of pregnancy. From cockroaches, the meaning changes after the end of the egg introduction scene, but nothing changes with the rest who can do it. And I think that the mechanics have not been completed yet, or is something not working for me? (I play from android, on version 0.70 of the game) (And I'm sorry I wrote a question through a translator because I don't know English)
Hey there Officervmf,
The mechanics are very simplistic right now. Some scenes, in this case only the Wharf Roach ones, will make Leah give birth.
There is no growth or progression to pregnancies outside of the scenes.
Спасибо Eroism за объяснение этой механики.
How to get the mosquito scene?
Explore around in the Swamp, until the mosquito appears, then go to sleep.
The event is chance based, so it may not happen always.
Hello, Erosim!I wanted to know if other characters like VISCARIA (Atera) and VISCARIA (Terra), as well as Cross breed_MAINE, DL-02, Atera, Insect Warning_Correction of CG, released earlier, would be created.The gallery is very large, so it will be difficult to list all the characters. However, I can provide you with a link to content related to Mushi no Kangoku and other characters.Thank you for understanding!
Hello phsquad!
That is a good question, and I’m not sure I can give you an answer right now, as new scenes and characters will only be added after 1.0, depending on the remake progression and available CGs that I have access to, but you could share those with me so I could check what other content exists :).
Here you will find material that will help you create new content for the game.
i only have 8 seance how to unlock all 18
Hey there Baylupo1,
Unfortunately, there is a bug in the recall scenes feature, so I don’t know exactly which scenes can and can’t be unlocked, but I know that you can’t unlock all of the 18 right now.
This will be fixed by the next version, 0.75.
Will other monsters in the game besides the roach have a game over?
Hard to say at the moment. In the original game I think only the Wharf Roach had it, however after reaching the end point of the remake I might add more Game Over scenes, or not, depending on which direction the remake takes.
this is actually a decent game
Thank you for complimenting the game :).
I have only been able to find the cliff, side beach, swamp, and hideaway so far. Are those the only explorable locations available so far?
Correct, as of version 0.70 the only unlockable locations with “free” actions are:
Guys, how instal this game on android?
Hello Jinyhome,
You first need to unzip the ZIP file, inside there will be an APK and a readme.txt, you just need to extract the APK and install it as normal.
Thanks ◖⚆ᴥ⚆◗
Hello eroism, i was wondering how to use the bugshroom?
You can't use it as is, according to 0.60 changelog, if you want to watch the scene you need to have 3 or more lewdness and 40% or more lust, then just explore the forest until you find a bugshroom then you'll have the scene.
Correct. The scene needs those specific conditions to trigger while finding Bugshrooms in the forest. Other than that, the item can be sold to Rumia for SP, but nothing more at the moment.
If I understood correctly, you mean that the x8 speed up moves on to the next scene, even without the screen being pressed?
I see, in which scenes have you seen this happen?
Thank you for the feedback!
So you’re seeing the messages that trigger the scenes again after the scene starts, is that it? I think I’ve also noticed this on my latest testing.
Hey there,
Unfortunately it would be hard to reduce the size, since it would impact the quality of the animations on desktop. Something like 85%-90% of the game’s size comes from the CGs, which have been upscaled.
The decompressed game in Android should weight only about 1.1 Gb, so my recommendation would be to download and decompress on PC, and then transfer the game to your device by USB, that way you can avoid the duplicate size due to having both the archive and decompressed in disk.
Will there be more content with the jellyfishes?
The scenes that you see with Jellyfishes are all that exist in the original game, so most likely there won’t be any new ones.
Ah, that's a shame
Hi Eroism, where can i find the save files of this game? I can't seem to find them anywhere. Cool remake btw!
Hey there Tharlin, thank you!
Depends on the platform you’re on, but you can find that information in the
readme.txt.%appdata%\insect-prison$HOME/.local/share/insect-prison<somewhere>/Android/data/com.eroism.insectprisonoh cmon encrypted ?
The save files are not encrypted, their are just encoded :).
Where on earth can I find the store, which has not been found for 51 days
To unlock Rumia’s Shop you need to first meet Rumia.
Hope this helps :).
EDIT: it’s just 1 Wharf Roach event and not 3, my mistake
Hi, Eroism , I really like the game and your work on it. I wondered if we could have a track list for the game, especially the menu theme, wich is a banger. Searched in the credits but I could only find artists names and shazam can't help me on this one.
Hello Maximillien, thank you for the support :).
When I get the time I’ll add them to the readme.txt, there is a problem however, many of the tracks don’t have metadata, so I don’t know their source as well.
I’m using about 85% of the original game’s tracks, some had to be replaced for licensing reasons, but only the ones I replaced on the remake I know the sources by certain.
Thanks a lot for the answer, I'm looking forward for next updates, take care
how long untill 70.0
Hey there,
I’ve only started working on it this weekend, since I’ve been sick this week. So it may take as long as 2 weeks for the release.
ok thy for awnsering

I like this game, hope for more update
It's a pretty good game
Thank you for the feedback!
Hello, I'm on android and I was able to decrease the BGM and SE volume to 0% but I can't increase them back. Is a that a known bug ?
I’ve just confirmed and it seems to be unfortunately :(. The only workaround currently is to delete
settings.datin the game’s data folder. On Android it might be difficult to access due to its permissions however.make an discord pls
is 70.0 out ?
Not yet. If you check the downloads and devlogs you can see the latest version is still 0.65 :).
I'm using an A55 5G, and i cannot instal the apk, what i do to fix it? it's a compatibility's problem with the Android 14?
The game engine supports from Android 7 up to Android 14, so in theory it should work fine.
That being said, I can only physically test on Android 11, so I can’t say for sure it will work in any other version. Does it give you any expressive error or log during installation? With such information I might be able to check what is going on.
From Android 14 it is no longer possible to install any application that targets an API level below 23 - Android 6.0.
That is indeed an important piece of information, and I’ve verified that the engine does indeed support Android 6.
But this is odd, as the Min SDK version on the build settings is 24, and not 21. I’ll have to investigate this further.
Upon investigation, I've noticed a peculiar trend with other similar applications, such as [e.g. W2C] downloaded from itch io. These apps, which have a minimum SDK requirement significantly lower than the currently required SDK level of 23, are not using Android 14 as their target version.

But I can rebuild a custom export with the tweaked minimal SDK set to 24, so I’ll try that. Thank you for the test offer, I may take you up on that.
The screenshot is in Portuguese, but it says exactly what i say above.
As stated in another comment, it seems the minimal Android version of the game is below what is allowed per the current Android 14 requirements.
I’ll attempt an hotfix to solve this.
Thank you, I've been interested in playing this game for a while, I appreciate you being so thoughtful.
Hi, I'm kinda stuck on the cliff where I can mine stuff and I don't know how to continue further... Could you help me? Yes, I've got the pickaxe, I can mine stuff.
If you already have a pickaxe, then just go to the cliff, climb Ladder, and click on any ore vein. You will obtain iron ore, which you need to craft weapons and armor, and another pickaxe if this one breaks.
Most areas, currently, are unlocked by exploring the Forest/Shoreline a few times.
If you’ve found the Rear Beach, Cliff, Swamp and Rumia’s Shop, then you reached all available areas as of v0.65.
I went into the settings and tried to turn down my volume for everything and now i don't have audio at all and can't change it back. Help pls
You have to click the audio settings again to raise the value. each click raises the volume of said setting by 10%, when it gets to 100% it resets to 0%.
If settings are bugging out (which shouldn’t happen as far as I know), you can try deleting the app data and opening the app again, that way a new settings file will be created and the volumes will be restored to 100%.
It's doing the same for me. Where's the settings file found at? Can't find it in my user/app data
Ah sorry I assumed Android for some reason XD, which platform are you running the game on?
I'm on Windows
In that case you will find it at:
<disk>:/Users/<user>/AppData/Roaming/insect-prison.Just delete the
settings.datfile.
