UPD 3: The recent update didn't gain much traction, so for now I'll start work on a new game UPD 2: I need some suggestions for what bugs to add to this game for next major update Current possibilities: -spooder -mantis -yeah these are straight from the pocket ants game I also fixed a hole bug where queens would phase through the ground :skull: UPD 1: After some hours of work, I've thrown together an update The changelist is massive, but I'll go over what I can: -overall graphics improvements (removed that horrible pen fade, added new shading and shadows) -Optimization, can be configured in the settings menu to handle hundreds of ants at the cost of them being lethargic -Ground and terrain rework with elevation, groundwater, and flooding mechanics -New ant AI improvements -Colony reproduction and alates -Improved queen AI and nest founding so they don't just sit around and do nothing -Modification of egg growth -new weather system, rain can influence groundwater and ants -Complete rework of ground nests; instead of being assigned a hole, colonies dig/choose one and can interchangeably live in any hole (which means ants can now take over other holes or accidentally enter the wrong one) -A couple of new navigation pheromones and changes to go with the new hole system -Some bug fixes -some new bugs :( CHANGES TO BE MADE -ants avoiding flooding and moving out of overflooded nests -weather cycle setting doesn't really work yet -new ant species -some other insects -multi queen colonies and ant majors -playing as alates in the big flight -species will have unique modifiers -underground tunneling and digging -more viewing/activity layers such as trees and other underground levels a few bugs -population numbers got screwed up by the new hole system -eggs look like they float -a few other old ones
