My Little Spider news & patch notes

Hey all, another patch!

First of all we added the wallpaper used in the trailer to your game files if you wanted to use it. It's in your install folder and creatively named: "Official My Little Spider Wallpaper.png".

Here it is if you wanted to download it separately:

Furthermore, there are some more changes, these are related to the "JSON PARSE ERROR" issue that was causing saves to be corrupted and usable in some circumstances:

• Fix for a million bugs spawning if your pc went to sleep. (I know this was fun for some people but we have a sneaky suspicion that this may have been causing crashes on low end pc's.)

• Removed the autosaving based on time. (It still autosaves but only when something changes and it needs to, you don't need to manually save.)

• Made another technical change to hopefully stop the issue where saves would be corrupted if the users pc crashed or was force shut down while the game was running.

• The UI doesn't auto-hide when the game is first launched, to prevent some new-player confusion.

All the best, Stevie & Evan

First of all, thanks so much for all your support. My Little Spider has 97% positive reviews on steam and we are so happy that you all enjoy the game. Our concurrent user count keeps going up every day, with a peak user count of 487.

That's 487 spiders living on a screen at one time, that's crazy to think about. (In a good way) We are working hard fixing the (surprisingly few) issues people are having with the game, and making notes for future updates according to your suggestions.

Speaking of updates, we just pushed another one:

• Made the buttons that are locked when you first launch the game still appear, but are visually locked (darker and more desaturated).

• Fixed an issue that caused the pumpkin flame sfx not adhere to user volume settings

• Disabled the negative sfx when collecting coins when your wallet is fully upgraded and also full.

• Added a new bug (insect)

I wonder if you can guess the bug before finding it. Hint - it's fluffy, chubby and really wants to be a bee.

Thanks again <3 -Stevie & Evan

• Fixed a steam achievement not triggering (Pioneer 4)
• Fixed some settings (Web Highlight and Eat Priority) not being saved and loaded
• Fixed a crash related to your spider or a bug trying to find a web piece that no longer exists

Hey everyone! My Little Spider is out now and we are extremely excited to share it with everyone.

• 60 bugs to collect

• Loads of spider hats and cosmetics to unlock

• Quests including daily and hourly

• Autumn event (catch the rare pumpkin beetle to unlock trinkets to decorate your web with)

Can't wait to hear what everyone thinks. Thanks for all your support.

Hello everyone! Evan here with an exciting announcement about My Little Spider! Stevie (9fingergames) and I (Fatal Fawn Games) are releasing the game on November 7th, in just a little over 2 weeks!! Watch the update trailer:

Here are a few fun bug facts about development (ok they aren't bug facts but still)!

🐛 This is my first game since Rebel Transmute :)

🐛 Stevie and I worked together on My Little Life and this is a fun, if more bit-sized exploration of that desktop sim / tamagotchi type game.

🐛 I'm really excited to see how everyone interacts with this spider we've cooked up, we'll probably keep adding hidden interactions that can be fun to discover!

🐛 I'm really proud of all the vibrant bugs I got to draw! (And Stevie did all the Spider hats and skins, which I also love!)

🐛 We have many ideas for ongoing support if the game does well enough, including seasonal bugs, skins, and decorations!

Please share all of our social media posts, make your own, spread the word, tell anyone who loves bugs, spiders, cute toys to tinker with, anyone with ADHD, and most importantly your parents! We can't wait for My Little Spider to be out there! -Evan and Stevie

Few quality of life updates today!

• Added a setting to change which bugs fly across the screen

• Added a setting to adjust what bugs the spider targets to wrap first

• The spider now takes a short nap occasionally

• Fixed a crash when scrolling to the back of the bugopedia

• Fixed a crash when a shiny bug was collected from the bug box

Thanks everyone! Keep hitting us with bug reports, feedback, and suggestions! -Evan

Hello everyone! The first big step towards release is upon us, a full fledged demo and Steam Next Fest!! We're very excited to be in this event and to get people finally playing the game we've been working so hard on. And we'd love to hear thoughts and suggestions on what should be added before or even after launch (which will be sooner rather than later)!

What you can expect to do in the demo:

• Catch 8 different bugs!

• Travel between 2 locations.

• Upgrade your spider and web.

• Unlock Halloween themed trinkets!

• Progress will carry over to the full game.

Thanks for checking out the game and for all the support so far! And have fun with the demo! -Evan (Fatal Fawn Games) & Stevie (9FingerGames)
