This was great

Can you release patchquest on the nintendo switch? ❤

what drawing software are you using ?

Believe it or not this kinda seems important

as an season wood 5 sc2 player, I will micro my heart out of this game. pheromones will not stop me from killing my units through hyper attack cancellations at melee against rocks.

The pot helmet on the ants are quite similar to ants carring pottery around, got me confused for a while. Adding the horns to the helmets could help, but I think the fantasy of the pot head would fail... Hmmmm

Daaamn I really like something like this on my iPad

For victory conditions I think you could lean into the eta side of the game and have an enemy computer attack with an ant colony that you are fighting for territory. And in the future you can have multiple species of ants to choose from like fire ants, carpenter ants, weaver ants and more.

I do like the new bow color and I think it would be good to use the clay as a building resource so when you build it the ants grab the resources and haul it to the building location. Another unit that would be good is making a worker ant that specializes in building,harvesting, and hauling.

Those helmets should have horns and the enemies should turn into a food source after they’re defeated.

Wasn’t a fan of the black bows so glad that’s changed. Also the pottery ants look soooo cute

idea: you can add your own enemies for your ants, instead of a wave system, since i dont really think a slug would make it's way into the terrarium. ofc u can add wave systems in the form of enemy ants, but still, beetles dont rly just stumble their way into an ant terrerium. maybe add a potien system that boosts ant production/strength dropped only from enemies?

You really did a great thing here. I think most people would be too stubborn to go back to the drawing board or too disheartened to start from the beginning again. It's really impressive that you persevered and ended up finishing what turned out to be a really fun and creative game

Magic antttttts

Something I always like to see in city building games like these is leveling up the city hall or central building, unlocking more buildings, upgrades, or resources. That might also be a good way to ease players into the mechanics of the game and scale enemy difficulty.

The graphics are great! Love it!

Love hearing your thoughts on the process as you work on each element. Keep up the good work!

Quicj suggestion!!! I know it's stupid but maybe voicelines could be in the game. Idk just thought it would be cool!

STOP BEING SO GOOD AT THIS!!!!!! I HAVEN'T EVEN FINISHED THE VIDEO, AN YOU KEEP SAYING "So I added" WHEN WILL THIS END!!!!!! D:<

Awww, they can have babies now! 💖

I like that the enemies are not just invulnerable to the wrong type of attack

butterfly enemy, archers have to shoot it down for melees to hit it frfr

WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

I have an idea, love the new features with the flying enemies but i think if the flys were hornets it would be better than just house fly. (not trying to be rude at all)

add a silk moth bossfight trust me

In my opinion, you are a true Indie Game Dev, with trully unique and original ideas and projects, in the contrary of a lot of content we see these days. As a biologist and ant lover, I always dreamed about a good ant-like game, there is so much potential for those little wonders ! I planned to make it myself since I have a bachelor degree in video game devlopement but I lack the time and the coding skills, so maybe I'll share my ideas with you instead !

I love this! 🐜

I think you should add the little moss green guy's back but have them regrow the trees so they can help the other ants😊

This is looking really cool! Like I'm very hyped!

Make a horde of enemies spawn in after a certain amount of enemies defeated (or a certain task completed) , Or make the archers try to dodge projectiles since your gonna add ranged enemies in the future and make an enemy type that goes into the ground and then gets out at the back of the archers to combat them like a worm

The beetle looks really good already

Was so for this, and then i saw the ai art and got immediately turned off what a shame

the art style of this game is very cute!!

speaking on the fighting-building spectrum, have you ever played dwarf fortress? it has a very interesting take on this you could potentially borrow from.

Are there still plans to bring this to switch? Have it on steam but would love to play it laying in bed haha

antchemist when? No but seriously this is really awesome i look forward to seeing it fleshed out!

oh hey, habitanks is real now

when you are done with the base game you should think about adding sub-races(species), where they have something like being better/worst at different stuff or have different win conditions

nice video man

👍 cute!

What about the argentinian ant? You could do something more complex and friendly if the ants fighted sparingly, but there was some sort of cooperation between nests. Even with trade with the pheromones.

It might be a good idea to add some sort of UI element to keep track of how many ants you have of each type, especially since they're so small

Loving the look and the systems you've developed so far. Looking forward to seeing how it turns out ~

Just a funny suggestion. You should add fire as a damage type and have them throw molotov cocktails that are made from pots and oil from an olive like plant this could make managing resources more valuable as an item might have more than one use. Or for fire you could make them collect/mine coal to make torches with sticks and coal and they throw the torches. Or may just a farmable nut that explodes into shrapnel like a grenade. Basically AOE damage is on my mind, but also fire.

i think it would be cool if you generated a bigger map and you could choose where you start your colony on it, meaning you have to strategically find out what resources are nearby and with which of them you want to play the game, adding to replayability

Make a juggernaut :). It has boots in its legs, and when it sees an enemy it runs to it, 50% critical hit

very epic bruh, game is shaping up nicely bow change is def a good one

I don't think "money" is needed in this kind of game. Why not have building take resources and resources are drawn from storage or environment. minimalist UI is nicer for this kind of "nature" games. i'd be sad to see UI and numbers all over the place. Already the micromanagement of army is turning me off a little. the ants could be aware that their attack is ineffective after one hit. the player would then only have to have a balance army rather than frenetically clicking all other the place to make sure the right soldier type is at the right location.

So basically good old DnD bludgeoning/piercing/slashing damage. Is there going to be a resource prioritisation system?

I love the pots XD!! They are hilarious!!
