It took us 7 years to complete our Dungeon Keeper-inspired RTS ant game. We weren’t sure we’d ever get there – but we just hit 1.0

The 1.0 path is filled with pit falls and ant nests
Crazy inspirational to hear your story, and congratulations on the launch! Onward and upward!
I’ve been playing this for a while and every update has been great, looking forward to getting into v1.0 this weekend 🙂
Good to hear you guys made it to 1.0, i was waiting years to play full game lol
SimAnt has entered the chat.
Too buggy.
Can definitely see the Dungeon Keeper inspo – especially with the digging overlay!
The SimAnt we need but not the SimAnt we deserve. Looks amazing!
There’s some more backround about the age of the project and how we almost didn’t make it here: [https://imgur.com/gallery/fArGK7j](https://imgur.com/gallery/fArGK7j)
I played this at the NEC in Birmingham what feels like a lifetime ago!
Protip. Empty a bag of Cheetos around your PC and you’ll have actual ants biting you while you play. Think of it as haptic feedback.
Thats gotta be the most RTS game I have ever seen. Ants fit so well into that genra and I never though about it since ANT on the NES.
I see a lot of ants, but where are the decs?
This vaguely gives me Swarm Assault vibes, wonder if anyone remembers that gem.
I’m sorry, I’m terrified of spiders
Wait, I’m just now hearing about this? This looks sick! I’ve always wanted to have the ant experience!
Oh i remember this game, i watched gamingbeaver
Play it years ago its nice to see you guys hit 1.0
I’ve had your game for a LONG time now. I love it. Great take on an RTS but with Ants
Yo its that mobile ad game, but really!
As a helldiver I find this utterly disgusting
Finally the follow up to Microsoft Ants I’ve been waiting so long for!
I was just saying to my friends last night I needed an ant colony again and I’d never heard of this, only to be looking through Steam the next day and find a good ass looking ant simulator where you can be predatory and defensive.
I bought this game years ago in early access. They’ve made steady progress and i cant wait to play the full version 🙂
I’ve had this on my wishlist for forever, keep meaning to pick it up lol
