Stunning visual!

However, I haven't succeeded in completing the game, and haven't understood how to enter the house and complete other ants' quests.

Would be nice to have a more user-friendly 3p camera and better ant locomotion.

Great work overall :)

Thanks mate! Yeh I realize the entrance to the house can be certainly a bit difficult to find!

Looks outstanding in static, but jumping animation is weak. As far as i know ants can climb? maby use this mechanic? But i'm still found of game idea :^)

it looks _very_ pretty but getting 6 fps on a 2080@1920x1080 is kinda ufff.

Developer

Hmm interesting, I admit I didn't have a 2080 to test on, but it was aimed at the ultra high end, tested on 3080, RX 6800XT, RX 6950XT at ~30-45fps at 1080p and 3090 at ~50-70fps at 1080p

What a environment!

Really demonstrates how fast and accessible this level of graphics can be with the right tools. The voice overs are very entertaining. Unfortunately I felt the gameplay lacked iteration and the connection to the theme was a bit weak. Still, a great kickstarter for a bigger project.

Developer

Thanks for the kind words! Yeh I admit I definitely had planned to include a few different types of quests to do (not just fetch quests) as well as move of a connection on cause and effect between the surface and underground areas but alas I slightly over scoped and also had less time than I thought I would the last 2 days, I might revisit it later on and add those in, could be fun as well as features that I would have liked to add such as character feet IK, jumping animations etc

Wow that's inspiring use of Megascans!
I guess you will be hired for Quixel marketing soon :D

This looks absolutely gorgeous! Excellent use of lighting and effects to capture a sense of scale!

Great environment. But I don't like this game. I feel like it's cheating when finish this for 7 days.

My favorite part was you allowing the character to wade through the grass. Really cool way to ensure the scene was immersive, and we could still track the character ;)

This is my favorite right now, the most powerful force in the universe😢
