Leafcutter ants climbing high up to collect valuable resources #ScreenshotSaturday #indiedev #gamedev #indiegames #pixelart #ants #entomology #RTS

@wietracksoftwork.bsky.social are making one that seems fucking great - Garden of Ants.

We are working on a new game layer! The tree layer will provide different challenges and resources than the aboveground and underground layer #ScreenshotSaturday #indiedev #gamedev #indiegames #pixelart #ants #entomology #RTS

🌲 Its roots are deep and its thirst overwhelming 🌲 #pixelart #indiedev #gamedev

Happy International Horseshoe Crab Day! #art #sciArt 🎨🦑

Ambush! Antlions are waiting patiently to attack your defenseless units #ScreenshotSaturday #indiedev #gamedev #indiegames #pixelart #ants #entomology #RTS

Sending out harvester ant soldiers to collect nutritious seeds... Check out Garden of Ants on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/3016940/... #indiedev #indiegame #pixelart #ants #entomology #RTS #WishlistWednesday

From one lone queen to a thriving underground colony #ScreenshotSaturday #indiedev #gamedev #indiegames #pixelart #ants #entomology #RTS

I'm adding roads across the worlds of Kathay, and in the process trying to make the forests feel denser. For that, I increased the density of trees and added new rocks and bushes. This path cutting across the forest is starting to feel very nice! #indiedev #pixelart #gamedev

Happy #WishlistWednesday! In Garden of Ants, you'll collect many different resources, such as leaves, seeds, chitin of dead insects, or honeydew milked from aphids 🐜 Check it out on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/3016940/... #indiedev #indiegame #pixelart #ants #entomology #RTS

Some army ants are extremely polymorphic. This photo shows a large soldier and a small regular worker of Eciton hamatum. If you saw them separately, you wouldn’t even think they belong to the same species. You might also notice the light color of the ants - both are callows / newly eclosed.

The queen found a suitable spot to start a colony! #indiedev #gamedev #indiegames #pixelart #ants #entomology #RTS

Had so much fun working on this character. Over 100 state animations and variations, I've finally released the first version of my character template. #aseprite #pixelart #gamedev #indiedev

Played this at Amaze festival last year and loved it! Fungi meet deckbuilder, what a combination

We spilled the shrooms!🍾 Just made a huge announcement at PC Gaming Show! 🍄 Shroom and Gloom coming to Early Access Q3 2026! ✨ Brand new demo now live! 🔮 Feast your eyeballs on our new trailer! Shares mega appreciated! Thanks everyone!💖 #gamedev #indiedev #shroomandgloom

Doing some HUD/UI work for the World Map. I think I still want it to be pretty lean but trying to make it easier to understand. Little animation where you zoom into the location is kind of fun. Need some kinda banner/scroll for the place names though. #pixelart #gamedev #indiedev #shmup #stg

The ant queen (Atta texana) will be your first unit in the game. After you find a suitable spot, she sheds her wings and plants a piece of fungal mycelium that she carried. Soon the first larvae will hatch, grazing on by the fungus. #indiedev #gamedev #indiegames #pixelart #ants #entomology #RTS

Announcing my 90s Fantasy Adventure Epic ⚔️ The Telwynium ⚔️ is coming to Steam! store.steampowered.com/app/2818820/... 🧙 Go play the Demo (Book 1 - Winter's Dawn) right now!

I’m pleased with how these tilesets are shaping up 🤓✏️ #pixelart #gamedev #indiedev

Along with Earthborne Trailblazer, we have something special to share with you all: an Earthborne animated short film called "Journey to the Source." The more views this short receives, and funds during our Kickstarter campaign, the greater the chances we could make a series! 🎞️ youtu.be/Prx5NOKeE9I

The engine now supports multi-targeting abilities, such as the new Barrage, which allows you to live your Legolas dreams. #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev

Expand your underground colony! #indiedev #gamedev #indiegames #pixelart #ants #entomology #RTS

The rabid auto-explorer strikes back. Blink and you'll miss several turns of frenzied bump-attacks, exploration and looting anything not rooted to the ground. #gamedev #indiedev #godotengine #screenshotsaturday

Acid spitters (Formica rufa) are ranged units to keep slower melee attackers at bay. #ScreenshotSaturday #indiedev #gamedev #indiegames #pixelart #ants #entomology #RTS
