POV: this crab just ended your whole career #screenshotsaturday

Empires of the Undergrowth @eotu.bsky.social · 8mo ago

The European shore crab - Carcinus maenas - inhabits many coastal regions of northern Europe, feeding on carrion, small animals and algae. It might be a bit grumpy about an encounter with your colony of ants or termites - coming soon to EotU! #screenshotsaturday #indiegame

Empires of the Undergrowth @eotu.bsky.social · 8mo ago

Going over the changes to the user interface, controller support, & the addition of 2 new maps and 2 new critters that will be available to preview in an optional beta for Empires of the Undergrowth, very soon! #indiedev #gamedev #strategy #RTS #ants youtu.be/RqHpa3_kjAs

Once you've mastered the campaign in Empires of the Undergrowth, custom games beckon. Bring your ants (and termites!) to victory in near endlessly-customisable scenarios. Here, exploding ants (Colobopsis explodens) begin their journey in a swampy world. #ScreenshotSaturday

A colony of exploding ants exit a nest entrance in Empires of the Undergrowth. The environment is waterlogged and swampy. A small plant with yellow flowers can be seen in the foreground.

A posing devil's coach horse beetle sits nearby.

In the background, large-leaved saplings and pitcher plants can be seen. The lighting is warm and low, like early morning.

A fearsome emperor scorpion, Pandinus imperator, emerges in preparation for a night of hunting. Encounter this legend of the savannah in the final campaign levels of Empires of the Undergrowth, as your Matabele ants battle for survival. #screenshotsaturday #scorpions

The bullfrog is performing a self-cleaning animation, which in the context of this post looks like a facepalm.

It's Halloween, and that means the Hungry Spider has awoken and is on the prowl. Satiate his appetite. Devour it all.

A community member has been experimenting with depth of field on their screenshots - I think it turned out great! Thanks tibikee on our Discord for this arty picture of a Myrmecia ereptor worker. #screenshotsaturday

A small rainforest clearing lets the the usually very dappled light hit the floor more directly, allowing fresh growth and providing easy pickings for leafcutter colonies - and others. Our ant-based RTS Empires of the Undergrowth is out now! #screenshotsaturday #indiegames

A warm rainforest scene showing the entrance to a leafcutter colony, with some leafcutter ants moving towards and climbing nearby saplings to harvest the leaf material. There are rocks and roots, and a hazy forest is seen in the distance. The sun is directly in front of the camera, passing through the trees.
