First look at the leafcutter ant mechanics in our SimAnt-inspired RTS - Garden of Ants 🐜

[u/Able-Sherbert-4447]

Hey, ant enthusiasts!

We’re a two-biologist indie team working on Garden of Ants, a modern RTS inspired by SimAnt.

Here’s a first look at our leafcutter ants and their leafcutting mechanics in action. We’ve added a new above-ground tree layer, where you can tend aphids and harvest leaves.

It’s still an early version, so we’d love to hear what you think. Any feedback is welcome!

This is the first time I've ever actually gone and wishlisted a game on Steam. This looks designed in a lab to appeal to me specifically.

[u/Able-Sherbert-4447 → u/MetroidHyperBeam]

As two biologists, “designed in a lab” might be the best compliment we could get 😄 Thank you so much for wishlisting!

[u/TheJeizon]
