Hello explorers! Welcome to the very first BeetleCraft devlog.

This project started as a simple experiment with smooth pixel physics, but it's quickly grown into something bigger (and buggier 🐞).

In BeetleCraft, you play as a tiny beetle wandering a blocky sandbox world. You can dig through dirt, mine stone, gather gold, and place blocks to reshape the landscape around you. With every step, jump, and tunnel, you're building your own miniature adventure.

The launch build comes packed with these features added and polished:
• Block Variety: Dirt, stone, wood, sand, glass, bricks, ores, and more.
• Falling Sand Physics: Watch sand tumble and flow naturally through the world.
• Smooth Beetle Movement: Anti-JitterBug™ fixes make crawling and jumping buttery smooth.
• Camera & Particles: A soft-tracking camera and fun particle effects bring the world to life.
• Start Menu & UI Polish: A cozy intro screen, hotbar, and health/score system.

This is just the beginning! I want BeetleCraft to feel like a cozy blend of sandbox creativity and lighthearted adventure - a place where even the smallest beetle can leave a big mark.

Thanks for following along – your feedback will help shape where the beetle crawls next.
