A former Lomography collegue, Peter Krenn, and I participated in this year’s Railsrumble. We tried to create an old-style browser game around ants where you basically controll your anthill and get a nice map of your surroundings. We got pretty far, we can manage the anthill and even have a very simplistic but awesome map using canvas and processingjs. But there’s no gameplay. So, next time we will put a lot more thoughts into the gameplay before entering the contests. You can have a look at antga.me if you want but there’s not much to see. In the next weeks we’ll spend our time with the game play only, run simulations and then once that is running good enough (no point in perfection as experience players will find the bugs quicker anyways) we can concentrate on graphics and such.

For future updates see blog.antga.me and for a very inspiring game try out weewar.
