IM PANICKING!

Pretty interesting simulation, though, despite the lack of gameplay.

Maybe because I am a huge fan of ant colony optimisation or its just mesmerising, I was watching it for 20 minutes... This would be a nice live background for android. How do you plan to make the gameplay? Where can I get the final version?

@vulpineblazeyt
Glad you liked it. Even in its current state.

@cstudios
The gameplay will be about choosing sides rather than playing as one of the factions themselves. Ain't gonna be giving anything else away yet.

I'll update this page with any new versions for now.

That's pretty interesting. I'd really like to see where this goes.

I don't actually know what this is, but it would make a cool screensaver. Interesting simulation, and nice use of special effects.

Looking good! Like a simulation of synapses firing in my brain, except mine contains much more void space.

MechanicMoon28 Aug 2014, 20:55

Relax time! Great simulation! But.. were is the game? However it is a good job. I have long been enraptured ;)

This is the closest to me the interpretation of the theme of what I've seen here.

Almax2729 Aug 2014, 21:48

Verycool to watch when zoomed out, though not sure if you can class the submission as a 'game' :P

hamster_mk_431 Aug 2014, 18:40

I am not sure what kind of game play you are going for with this, but I am interested in finding out.

Exceedingly pretty, however, due to the fact it's not a game it can't score very highly....

jukimv19863 Sep 2014, 21:44

Weird take on the theme. Will be waiting for the gameplay release!

invader3 Sep 2014, 21:51

very good looking and meditative visuals...

I have troubles with zooming in and out on macosx, though. And on linux I can't even run it, since there is no unity :(

@invade

I though some people with wheel independent mice might have a problem with the zooms, but don't the + and - keys work either?

It's only really a screen saver.

Tex Killer5 Sep 2014, 00:44

This is not really a game yet, but it looks promising! Keep it up!

xRubbermaid6 Sep 2014, 18:16

I find it really hard to rate this as a game - I love algorithms so I feel that my opinion may be skewed. I've elected to vote by how much I feel like this should be seen, which is definitely "as much as possible". Lovely visualisation of an ant colony simulation.

frogcheese6 Sep 2014, 18:44

It's a really nice visual design, if not very gamey. Like @xRubberMaid said, I can also a bit of an algorithm nerd at times, so I still found this to be a pretty cool thing.

RodRoy16 Sep 2014, 20:28

Interesting sim

lkr7 Sep 2014, 21:24

While it wasn't very interactive, I love the look of the game/simulation and how the moving thingies light up the paths as they move between nodes.

I'd love to see where you're planning on taking this :)
