Launch news!

Its really happening, our little ladybug is finally ready to go home... Making it Home is finished! Were all set to launch on Friday 3rd September on Steam for PC and Linux. If you haven't already picked up a copy, add it to your wishlist to get notified when we launch the v1.0 patch.

Whats new?

Those of you who have already been playing Making it Home in early access will find plenty of new story, new challenge modes, obstacles and bosses, and lots more besides. It's going to take Sean a while to write the patch notes that's for sure! For those trying Making it Home for the first time, youll be able to put your creativity to the test as your ladybug builds a vehicle to get from one side of America to the other, all in time for her daughters birthday. And for those achievement hunters out there, brand new achievements will be added soon for testing which cant be gained until the version 1.0 patch is released. That said, come Friday 3rd September the First Past the Line early access achievement will no longer be available.

Its been a long road

For over three years weve been developing this game, which is the biggest project we (the two person team here at Pill Bug) have ever taken on. From gameplay, to art, to music and narrative this has been a huge challenge for us, and we couldnt be happier with what weve managed to put together for this game. Weve had some amazing help along the way, from composer Jordan Rees and artists Hannah, Ace Volkov, and Goodname Digital Art Studio. We cant wait to see the vehicles everyone builds, and the choices you all make along the way. Will you be Making it Home?

You’re a ladybug building a marvellous contraption to travel from one side of America to the other. Bounce around your vehicle, hoisting sails, squeezing bellows, and spinning propellers. How will you make it home?



Design and engineer your vehicle. What you build, and where, matters. Discover new components and your favourite combinations along the way.



Bounce around a vehicle of your design. Will you collect every coin? Will your catapult get you to the bellows? Or will you master the propeller?



Pick your route across the USA, getting to know quirky animal friends (and foes) along the way. Explore the interactive narrative written by David Towsey (The Walkin' Trilogy, Widow's Welcome) while the original sound track by Jordan Rees (Composer of trailer music for The Mummy [Universal Pictures], Mother [Paramount Pictures], The Defenders [Marvel Studios]) keeps you in the mood for a road trip.
