The early access launch is imminent! Post here if you're hyped. Or if you're not, I dunno. Anyway, from time of posting, 5 days!
Early Access COUNTDOWN THREAD!
- Thread starter MikeSlugDisco
- Start date
December 1st
Good things about that day:
1. I'm getting a new TV.
2. I can play this game right on that day.
3. It's my birthday!
Bad things about that day:
1. I have a PE presentation about a weight training program for baseball.
2. It's the day right after a massive history test.
3. I have an Africa map quiz on that day.
Welp.

Only 4 days until early access launch....... tell your family! Tell your friends! Tell your pets!
Wait, so which ants will be best at picking up aphid honeydew?
Three days left until Empires of the Undergrowth enters early access. That's three whole days. How are you going to fill them? Work? Because that's how we're filling them!
In our design docs is Formica fusca (black ants) being able to harvest more efficiently from aphids. Just by the way things have fallen with our early access levels, there aren't any aphid farms in the 2 black ants levels. Formica rufa (wood ants) do all the harvesting at the moment! But as we go forwards (and as John starts working on his Freeplay / Sandbox mode) this will become a thing again, no doubt.

On the fifth day to Antmas, my true love gave to me:
5 ladybugs
4 Wood ant queens
3 claustral chambers
2 Tiger beetles
and a spider next to the sea!

We're very nearly down to our last 48 hours. Only two days until lots more people get to see the beautiful creature that is Empires of the Undergrowth!
I've written a little poem for today's countdown picture:
Tiger Beetle, burning bright,
On the beaches of the night;
What Formica hand or eye,
Could swarm you and cause you to die?

I'm posting these super-early in the AM here in the UK just as a bit of fun for you guys on the forum. We've not decided *exactly* what time of day on the 1st here in the UK we'll be pushing the button, but the thinking is it's likely to be early hours of the 1st for you lot across the pond.
It certainly feels like time has crept up on us, like this beach wolf spider would.... Empires of the Undergrowth early access begins TOMORROW!

I love you.
Please read this thread for explanation. In short: we've screwed up our Windows and Mac packaging, and therefore Steam hasn't approved us for launch. So we've set back the Steam release date and have released NOW on itch.io - and buying from there will give you a Steam key anyway.
