What does "ant music" even sound like??

It's Halloween, and that means the Hungry Spider has awoken and is on the prowl.

Satiate his appetite. Devour it all.

A community member has been experimenting with depth of field on their screenshots - I think it turned out great!

Thanks tibikee on our Discord for this arty picture of a Myrmecia ereptor worker.

How to make RTS ants feel like actual ants

A small rainforest clearing lets the the usually very dappled light hit the floor more directly, allowing fresh growth and providing easy pickings for leafcutter colonies - and others.

Our ant-based RTS Empires of the Undergrowth is out now!

#screenshotsaturday #indiegames
A warm rainforest scene showing the entrance to a leafcutter colony, with some leafcutter ants moving towards and climbing nearby saplings to harvest the leaf material. There are rocks and roots, and a hazy forest is seen in the distance. The sun is directly in front of the camera, passing through the trees.

One of the best decisions we made when making EotU was adding a screenshot mode - players make our game look all the prettier in screenshots on a daily basis!

Highly recommended to any indie devs reading.

TY to немец, tibikee & Grolgungus.

We had a problem with our spiders. How did we fix it?

The sun approaches the horizon in the African savannah and the burning heat of day begins to dissipate.

Soon, it will be time for the termites to emerge and begin their harvest.

Our ant (ant termite)-based RTS Empires of the Undergrowth is out now!

A warm scene in the African savannah. The sun is setting, and termite mounds litter the foreground. Aloe vera plants and blades of grass are abundant.

Not sure if I could come up with a collective theme for these community screenshots - amphibians & ants?

TY to Discord members Dino Dude, Serp, The Guy & Black Star for these ones!

The best thing about us has always been the community that sprung up around our silly ant game - these screenshots are by them.

Empires of the Undergrowth is out now.

Thank you to Punkleton, tibikee, ArmyAntGaming and TK for these beauties.

How lovely to be by the shoreline as the sun sets!

The beach is one of many biomes you'll visit in Empires of the Undergrowth.

A warm sunset scene near the shoreline of a beach in RTS game Empires of the Undergrowth. The sky is radiant with illuminated clouds, there's small sand hills, samphire and other plants. Scallop shells are in the foreground along with pebbles.

It's time for a vlog!

Mike has been very sneaky in incorporating his macrophotography hobby in to work, so enjoy his trip out while he explains what we're working on for EotU.
