I'm thrilled to finally announce an idea that I have thought about for quite a while, to be clear I already made a small prototype. 

Ant Colony is an Open World 2D game, where you help your ant colony and raid other insects or camps with your fellow ant friends. 

I think that it should be a story-based game with Quests that you can do in between like in a RPG. I already have a story and I made an Info-Sheet about everything that should be in the game.

The main game mechanic is gathering resources and fighting enemy insects while following the compelling storyline. 

I made a small game prototype that just included walking and gathering plants with an inventory. The game has only 3 days in development since this post was published.

In the last few days, I was more focused on the art. 

What do you think about the current art? If you have suggestions about anything feel free to write a comment.

On the Game-Design I thought about some of the enemies our cute ant could face, here is what I chose:

The plan is to work on this game until the end of April and publish a fleshed-out small Demo on itch.io to see if you like this game.

I still am not a professional game designer at all. I have about six months of overall Game-Dev experience so don't expect much but I am trying my best to learn and gain experience. This game is part of my learning process. 

If you like this idea and want to follow me on my Game-Dev Journey, please follow me on itch.io. 

I wish you a very nice day.

Until next time.
