addedAlpha has launched and the feedback is very positive! I'm having a really good time exchanging and communicating with testers. So far, I got people I know trying out the game. At Some moment I will switch to beta and invite more players. Players who are helping me out are going to have their names in the credits. The game keeps growing! I'm implementing a lot of new ideas and past suggestions in the game. THINGS LIKE: - Units now have a health bar AND a food bar. In nature ants store food in their abdomen that they can after share with other ants that are in need. When a worker brings back food to the colony, he finds a replete or the queen and gives the food in the storing ant. This food is later use to get health back or use to feed the eggs and larva. - The player can only see his colony when underground. I added a very nice fog that matches the underground that prevents form seeing to infinity. The player can also only zoom out as far as he as dug + a reasonable player distance. - The player can start Quests! There's a Panel that allows to start different quests. Things like : Summon 3 spiders and kill them in 3 minutes, Or : prevent all beetles from reaching the other side. Funs stuff!! - A very descriptive Tutorial allowing new players to fully grasp everything that can be done. It's a step by step tutorial with unlockable zones. WORK IN PROGRESS - balance units - balance the economy - 90 % of saving/loading has been completed. Not certain of i will allow eggs to be saved, because of cheating. - Sound and music is at 0%. Im still looking for a good soundtrack, unit and ambient sounds have been found and they sound very good. Thank you
