Beat the heat with a chill RPG adventure: Insignificant! Now you can discover the mysterious world of The Outside from the comfort of your home, and at an all-time low price too! It's weird having made a game about a society that has sequestered themselves inside so long that they have forgotten what the world outside is like, because...well...that's just lots of our lives now, isn't it? Fortunately, Insignificant is more fun and fanciful than our current situation in life, because you also get to play as an Outsider, a race of tiny little people who are exploring the remnants of human society after some sort of extinction event has wiped us out. Uhh... Dang. Sorry, I guess humanity being wiped out is kind of a bummer. But it's okay, because the remnants of our society make for some fun places to explore for the Outsiders, and lets them come up with strange stories to explain all of the relics we left behind. Like disposable floss picks. What use could those have possibly had in human society? Outsiders may never truly find an answer. Anyway, I hope you'll consider picking up Insignificant this summer. Finances are tight for a lot of us out there, myself included, so I hope the sale makes it a bit easier for you to enjoy the game. Thanks for reading, and stay safe out there, stranger! - Dan

This is a small fix for d-pad controls using Steam Controller and Xbox 360 controllers on Linux. The fix should resolve any issues players had with their d-pad controls working in these configurations. If you still experience any issues, please let me know! - Dan

For this patch, I've included balance changes to the damage calculation formula in order to give player stats more weight. An unintended bug was causing player damage to be capped depending on a player's level. This cap should only apply to enemy damage to help reduce scenarios where players are killed in one hit. As a result, players will now have the potential to deal much more damage with their attacks when their Physical or Magic attack stats are higher than the enemy's physical or magic defense. I have also adjusted the damage scaling to help low level players figure out this system and reduce previously strict offense requirements. Now, the lower your level is, the greater impact a small difference in stats will have. For instance, adding one additional point of Intelligence at level one will now most likely result in additional damage done, whereas before several points were required before damage was increased by even a single extra point. I hope that these changes help point players in the right direction about which of their attacks are effective against which enemies, and make collecting equipment upgrades more fun and rewarding! - Dan

Just a small patch that fixes a bug players may have encountered when attempting to start a new game plus. Before, the game would get stuck right before beginning a new game plus, and now that should no longer be the case.

Version 1.12 of Insignificant is now available, with bug fixes and requested features to help players enjoy the game!

New Features

Mouse Sensitivity controls - Press the minus or plus keys on a keyboard to adjust your mouse's sensitivity. This will also raise and lower the sensitivity of the camera on a game pad. These controls have been added to the Compendium. Dual Monitor Setup - I had a report of the game not working correctly with dual monitors. I have adjusted the game to basically ignore any non main monitors, and tested it with an extra screen I was able to find. Hopefully this helps your setup if you were having issues.

Bug Fixes

• The lake area was causing the game to crash due to an NPC which was not setup properly. This has been fixed.
• There was a similar issue with the Onion Mountain area, which has also been fixed.
• I manually tested every other area in the game just to be safe and they were all working correctly.
• Pop-up dialogue windows were not displaying text fast enough. They have been adjusted to improve readability all around.
• Fixed an instance in which touching an ORB would not finish its associated events.

I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience these issues may have caused, and appreciate all of your help in bringing them to my attention. If you have any additional issues, please feel free to contact me at significantgames.com/contact and I would be glad to assist you. - Dan

It's been a long and difficult road to get here, but now Insignificant is finally available, and at a special price for a limited time! Now you can shoot skunks and slash snakes to your heart's content. Insignificant takes advantage of tons of Steam features too, like automatic cloud save support for cross-platform play, an official Steam Controller profile, and Steam achievements for the completionists out there! That's not all that's new in this version of the game, but frankly there are too many new changes to rattle off in this announcement, so here is the official documentation on this first public release for Insignificant. [previewyoutube=crb7UgTm-c4;full][/previewyoutube] I've been working on this game for years, and I'm so excited to share it with all of you! It's shocking to look back at the progress Insignificant has made in these years of solo development. Here, let me share with you the earliest screenshot I could find of Insignificant:
Just a flat ground texture, some rocks and a default skybox image. Somehow I was able to make it from there all the way to what we have today!
Insignificant is special to me, not just because it contains a personal story, but because it contains so much of my own life. It has my voice, my time, everything I've learned about making games, and I'm so grateful that you would consider taking a look at it. This is a game about being small and alone, but right now I don't feel alone. You make me feel like there is someone out there listening. I hope I can make you feel that way too. To everyone who sees this game, and thinks about it for even a moment, to me, you will always be SIGNIFICANT.
