I'm Out!
It's been a great Jam, but I've had to call it a day sadly! a case of ambition far outweighing my knowledge. It was a constant struggle to keep the game functioning until I just couldn't work out how to continue.
The original concept was an ant nest simulator, build the nest, protect and keep the queen alive... That became an ant arena game (scaling back the amount of work needed) but soon found that even that was going to be too much work for one weekend to keep ahead of the bugs. Either way, it's been a great experience and I got some good code written, from A* Pathfinding to Multithreading job queues.... First time I've had to drop out of a LD so far.... next time I'm gunna be ready! Role on LD39! and good luck to all those still in the compo! :D
