I would appreciate any sharing on Facebook and with others! Thanks

 

I'm going to be learning all I can about ants and their behaviors so thanks in advance for any help and answers to questions...

What exactly is the money for?

 

Also, how dedicated are you to this project.

 

Now I don't want to sound like a pessimist, but recently I've seen a couple of people come on this forum asking for funding for their ant games, but IIRC none of those were completed/released.

There seems to be one about every three months.

To have a good kickstarter campaign (or whatever similar site), the page needs to have clear info AND screenshots of the game. This one seems more like drive by spam really, and the page mostly talks about the stupid cash shop and sounds too much like a dumb castle clash clone that is all about making money. In fact his entire page is really about buying stuff for the shop and why is it "top secret" "equity" in the donation page. And it has 0 funding lol.

 

Pretty sure this is one of those scam indiegogo startups, or thinking its a way to make a quick buck with a lame game that will never have a future. Either that, or just one of those drive by spammers like I said linking to a spam/scam indiegogo startup lol.

 

Funny no developer ever copies sim ant, and makes it more epic and bigger than Sim Ant...if they did any research, they'd see a lot of actual ant fans and sim fans did really enjoy Sim Ant. A nice sandboxy/open world ant game, either 2d or 3d and more choices of ants than sim ant and not just live in someones backyard or house, but able to go to forests and stuff. Almost every ant game or ant startup is just a dumb iphone or android app and so simplified. The only actually fun ant game that isn't really a cash grab is Ant Warz, and its made for kids and is an android app now, but at least there is more to it and not really a cash grab lol.

 

I've seen a couple ant games posted that people were making over on Antdude's forum that looked and sounded really good and weren't asking for money, but either the developer on them moved on, or its just super slow development.

Soo many of these now... What's with the number of ant games lately?
And You guys are right, many have been announced, none completed. Including my own!
*sigh* wish I had the time to work on it again after seeing all these games come and go.
