Developing an initial idea
One of many – an ants daily life as a disposable. Doing meaningless tasks in great numbers u are one of many who is easily replaced. Make decisions that can affect your colony by rising up the ranks. Decisions such as waging war on other ant colony’s and gathering food supplies. Strategy game based on ants.
A concept of starting at the bottom and making it to the top, starting with insignificant tasks like helping carry food towards the queen as a worker ant. Ants have three main ranks, worker, soldier and reproductive caste. I don’t plan on using the last rank so only worker to soldier.
Worker Ant
Worker ants are the ones who help build and maintain the nest whilst taking care of the queen. The older aged workers are tasked to scavenge for food and bring back to the nest. In the game I would make these into two different ranks, starting at the very bottom as a worker ant who digs and helps build the nest, into a forager ant who get to leave the nest and scavenge for food.
Soldier Ant
Soldier ants are a bigger than the workers and are mainly tasked to defend against any possible threats to the colony. In the game the forager ant would level up into a soldier ant and carry on on this path of ‘levelling up’.
