Screen Shot Saturday Pt.1 - Rise of the Colony

[MikeSlugDisco]

There will be two components to Screen Shot Saturday this week - here's the first!

The colony rises.

Enjoy this cinematic view of a Formica fusca (black ant) colony as it rises from its humble beginnings. We've been working very hard recently to add lots of new features for the game in time for early access - can you spot any on show here?

Later we'll be posting a little preview of how the victory and score screens will work.

Why does the game seem to focus on Formica fusca, and not Formica ereptor?

Oh yeah

In this case, the level is one where you play a Formica fusca colony. You play those side missions to earn rewards and upgrades for your Formica ereptor home colony, which you keep in your Formicarium.
