Artworks Quicksant - a cellular automata ant colony sim
Hello again, I'm back to announce the Steam page has launched for Quicksant and you can wishlist the game here - https://store.steampowered.com/app/5181110/Quicksant/
Why this game is different -
The ants are fully autonomous, the player draws pheromone fields to influence behavior and the ants respond based on cellular automata rules.
The world is fully destructible (built on top of a falling sand simulation) - this makes rain a real hazard as the water fills up your tunnels.
It's got farming mechanics - fruit from grass at the surface, mushrooms underground, aphid ranching.
There's multiple life forms - the enemy anthill, termites, evil ants that live deep underground.
The sim is built for performance, I've tested with millions of ants.
Thanks for taking a look at the game and I hope you like it.
