After getting the food to Tom and returning the the surface, I talked to the ant... When the screen zooms out, is that the end of the game?

It is yes, unfortunately that’s as far as I got in the time window - I wanted to try and add more visual indicators to show it was the end, but couldn’t figure it out in time... Thank you for playing!

Awesome. I enjoyed the journey. 

Thanks for making it!

I was just going to ask the same thing! Loved the dialogue and the story!

How did you program the branching dialogue?

Thanks so much and thanks for playing!

I used labels and set up a function to update the text, using a combination of dialogue states to track where in the conversation you were and a match command to determine where the conversation went based on input.

Then integrated some variables which were checked at various points in the dialogue - I’ve probably done a really terrible job of explaining it,  not too fluent in the terms just yet!

I think you did great! I am still amazed at what people can pull of in Godot, so even getting an idea of your concept is great for me! Thank you! So when I am planning to make something similar, I will come back and check your comment :D
Was there any tutorial that you consider the key factor to your result?

So I came across this tutorial which I used to get to grips with how to structure dialogue for NPCs, but I will admit that it took me a long time to figure out why it wasn't working, and then I randomly cracked it at some point and I have no idea how!  But, that tutorial definitely helped :)

Thanks for sharing,  I will check that tutorial out! And you've described that feeling perfectly, of having no idea how things work sometimes.
