ants by justinmchase

[raw]
made by justinmchase for LD29 (COMPO)
This is my first time really making something in Unity alone, so be gentle please :). I referenced wikipedia's A* algorithm and gave credit to it in the code. I also found a snippet of some camera code and modified that and put a reference back to the original source but everything else was completely new.

Your game ceases to boot with the error "ant_Data folder required next to executable" Please fix!

Currently can't play because it doesn't have the ants_data file included in the download! I'll try to replay when you fix!

Can't run the Windows .exe

It's looking for a data folder in the zip that's missing.

Ok sorry :( Will fix. I didn't realize that was necessary.

Is there a web version lurking somewhere? I just got led to your bitbucket.

Looks like a 3d dig dug bug but missing monsters. Good concept and has potential but it currently needs more game.

Sorry RowdyGhosts, I tried to build a web version but I think my reliance on right clicking and ctrl+clicking was messing with the web player. Lesson learned :-/

It seems more like a 3d, monochromatic version of MS paint than a game. I made an elbow joint...

I would love to see some more work go into this, there seems to be a lot of unrealized ideas that would make the game more of a cohesive experience

There doesn't appear to a ton of "game" right now (not unlike my own entry), but it's a fun concept that could be turned into a sandbox building / base management game. Also I think the ant could do with a little bit of a speed boost on long trips.

Why no web build if you're on Unity! Not having web build is one of the biggest barriers to people playing your game, these days :)

Needs more game, I like the idea, but I guess Minecraft didn't have "more game" unlil much later either :)

Keep going! :)

I didn't really understand what I was supposed to do, tried to discover more grass but that's it... Feels like an early prototype, would be interesting to see something more complete!

Really kinda fun, would be good to have some more objectives though, want to leave it going while I do other stuff :)
