I am working (as part of a 3-person team) on an RTS/simulation game based around the world of ants. Many fans of the original Dungeon Keeper RTS game (1997) were deeply unsatisfied by EA’s re-release for mobile two years ago. Players were hoping for a more immersive RTS experience for their devices and it was not delivered. Partly inspired by this, and coupled with a desire to bring SimAnt into 2015 we decided to design an RTS for touchscreen and PC. The game, "Empires of the Undergrowth" is an RTS in which the player controls an ant colony. It features underground tunneling, nest construction and fast-paced battles with insects, arachnids and other colonies. This video explains game play in significant detail: https://www.youtube....h?v=W355uiCjfuA At the moment we are running a kickstarter to cover one of the 3 developer's living costs for the next year. Reaching our goal would significantly speed up production of the game. If you are into ants, controlling ants, or know someone who is - please take a look https://www.kickstar...the-undergrowth P.S. I just uploaded a gif that shows some of our combat algorithms in action with a technical explanation http://imgur.com/gallery/t3AlWst
