Cozy dungeon crawling.
Terrible decisions.💀

There are several types of bees based on real species. Mostly red bees.
Some bees are moving leaves, scraping plant hair, or sticking out their tongues. Some male bees have hairy faces and unusually shaped legs. There are also baby bees that have just hatched from their petal nests.

In our game, Garden of Ants, you build and manage an ant colony, where each caste represents a real-world ant species with distinct life traits and ecological roles.

An in-game screenshot of several ladybugs
Some of the earliest NPCs in our game: Ladybugs (Coccinellidae) don't pose a danger to your ant units, but prey on aphids. Your herds will be decimated if you don't protect them!

Okay, if it's consistent with the rest of the game I like it :) in that case I prefer the first logo (also regarding readability)
Have you tried some pixel logo/ pixel font? Could maybe work better with the very nice pixel art of the background
Start screen for the game Save the Forest depicting the logo and a lil isometric diorama
One day left until the Save the Forest Playtest opens up on Steam! If you're in the mood to liberate some poor corrupted raccoon souls make sure to join and come discuss your exploits/wins/failures in the discord!

encyclopedia page on major soldiers with an image of several soldiers harvesting seeds
Shoutout to our brilliant collaborator @michkin.bsky.social who handpixeled all images for the encyclopedia <3
We will dedicate a chapter to each unit in the game, giving you more biological insights into their ecology.

Hey #TeaseYaGame !
We're a small team working on our debuting title: Stack Order, a narrative driven deckbuilder!
👹Battle Against Unique Bosses
📚Stack your cards to create chain reactions
✏️Discover a hand drawn 2D world

Still, we are trying to be biologically precise about each individual species
Several of the units are based on leafcutter ants, yes. But we also include different species such as harvester ants, so the in-game colony will be a combination of different species. We want to showcase all the cool strategies that different ant taxa specialise on :)
Haha, thank you!! I'm not sure about millions, but computationally hundreds are manageable! As long as you gather enough resources you colony will grow :)
Thank you! We are working on the demo :)

In-game screenshot of a jumping spider facing three worker ants
We added another dangerous NPC to our game: Jumping spiders (Salticidae) are fast, intelligent hunters. Their jumps rely on their accurate eyesight, so they mostly hunt during day time. Your ants will be safer at night!

The workers of the giant forest ant (Dinomyrmex gigas) are polymorphic, i.e., they come in two sizes and shapes: The minors (first two pictures) and the majors (last two pictures). Both are huge though - minors just over two centimeters and majors up to three centimeters in body length.
Ants in the pants are the worst! I promise the game will deliver a more pleasant experience ;)

In Garden of Ants, you manage an ant colony day & night, above & below ground, where each caste represents a real-world ant species with distinct life traits and ecological roles.

Another NPC: Some aphids (Aphididae family) live in mutualistic relationships with ants. In game, they provide nutritious honeydew to your colony, while you in turn protect these vulnerable insects from predators.

The ant Odontoponera denticulata is widely distributed across Southeast Asia, where it tends to live in open habitat. Here is the entrance of a colony I encountered on a river bank in Danum Valley, Sabah. The second image shows a forager of the same colony.
This is…not an ant. It’s the ant-mimicking nymph of a true bug (Heteroptera). Check out the long proboscis, which the bug has inserted into a leaf to suck phloem sap. Proof once again that everything wants to be an ant. Sabah, Borneo.
Thank you!!
Yes, we also love SimAnt and its one of the inspirations for Garden of Ants. Its more a game than a sim, but we are biologists and try to make it as biological as possible, as to pay homage to those great scientists :)

Haha, will do!
This looks amazing! Love the colour palette. Can I wishlist the game yet?

A dangerous NPC in our game: The antlion larvae (of the family Myrmeleontidae) dig funnel-shaped pits and ambush passing ants that happen to slide into their trap.
