Hi, and welcome to Ant Queen 3D

NEW STUFF

• Soundtrack audio and game sounds now each have their own slider
  
• Digging has a cooldown of one second.
  
• Saving got fix. The issue was that player could dig to infinity. The player could be a level 4 with 6 ants and dig a colony the size of the entire map. Since digging creates blocks to be excavated, you could have to save 10000 block that requires to save x.y.z position for each. For now the easy fix is you cannot dig further your colony if you have more than 200 dirt blocks to excavate.
  
• The player can no longer in level 3-4-5
  
• If your colony is too close to a spider web, the web is destroyed. And if there was an NPC that would have been triggered from walking in it, the NPC is also destroyed. The level is then adjusted
  
• Main menu says whats version your are playing on
  

FIXED STUFF

• Digging assistant stops getting stuck in red phase
  
• Nurser don't have by default the rescue action activated, Soldiers do.
  
• The NPC spawner only counts adult ants
  
• The end game sparkles are no longer active during a level
  
• Some level texts have been changed
  

WORK IN PROGRESS

• Level 16 is under construction
  
• Ai colony gameplay
  

Hi, and welcome to Ant Queen 3D

NEW STUFF

• Players were having a hard time to find what ants or aphids were under attack. So, I added a visiual indicator that starts from the colony entrance and goes in the direction of the attack point. It's a trail of sparkling red pheromones.
  
• Almost each level in the campaign has a few dialogs. Now the camera rotate towards what unit that is speaking and that unit also is highlighted. If for any reason there are no nursers or no workers, AKA the player is really bad, the dialogs will still be happening, but for logic reasons there are no more highlights.
  
• When the player finishes a level in the campaign, at the end he has a two new buttons. Continue to the next level or go back to the selection.
  

FIXED STUFF

• Highlighting square was acting weird. The green square won't stay active when you release the mouse button.
  
• Fixed a few typos. How can I be that bad of a writer!?...
  
• If any level requires some ants, only adult ants are being taken in consideration
  
• The queen cannot be unselected in the first two levels
  
• Optimized saving. Should be a little faster. It still needs works, but it's better
  
• There was a bug with levels showing a timer countdown and level objective
  
• Tunnels will only start collapsing once the player reaches 45 ants.
  
• Once you set volume, mouse or zoom settings. It will automatically preset at each level
  

WORK IN PROGRESS

• Fix level 15 and the Ai colony
  
• Back propagation buttons issue
  
• Add new UI buttons

Hi, and welcome to Ant Queen 3D

FIXED STUFF

• Rotating the camera with the mouse won't deselect units anymore. Deselecting a unit only happens if you press the right mouse button with out holding it.
  
• You can Rotate ant Classes to assign their tasks left or right. You don't need anymore to rotate the whole 6 classes to comeback to a specific class. Thanks Lazytribe ;-P
  
• Dirt on the ground won't prevent anymore adding a chamber. I thought it would be logic to demand the player to excavate a room to be allowed to add a new chamber, but players have the impression it's a bug.
  
• Deactivated a lot of unnecessary UI components int the first two levels.
  
• Fixed a bug where you could switch views with out having an underground colony.
  
• Zooming control and mouse sensitivity settings have more impact.
  
• Fixed a view typos
  

WORK IN PROGRESS

• Removed the minimap, atleast for now. It was taking a lot of space on the screen and it wasn't really useful. On the other hand, I do understand the player wants to know where the NPCs are. The pheromone trail that gets created by the player would an awesome indicator to show the player where is the NPC. Something like flashing red a series of pheromones from the colony in the direction of an NPC. I will try this feature in next patch

Hi, and welcome to Ant Queen 3D

NEW STUFF

• New story line has been added in the game. A testers pointed out that people who don’t know ants might not understand what each class is good at or not. There is already a level system to guide the player, but it was lacking context. On top of explaining more in detail what each class can do, the story line has a few references that alíviate the gameplay.
  
• There was a row of buttons that would be use to select groups of class for each color. In reality this was useless. I transformed this buttons in counterd for the eggs that are developing
  
• Eggs now have a visual countdown image on top of them. This shows the player how long it will take for an egg to mature
  
• When ever an egg is ready to be nursed all nursers use to go and take care of it. Now only one single nurser will be assign one egg
  
• A few buttons where visible too early in the campaign. The progressively become unlock as needed by the campaign
  
• Tier 1 spiders have been again nerfed

TO DO

Hi, Welcome and now to Ant Queen 3D

TO DO

• Add the new Queen Nuptial Flight. This will be the ultimate goal of the game. It's closing down the full cycle of an ants colony's life. A nuptial flight is when winged ant queens, from many colonies, fly out of their colony, reproduce and start a new colony.
  A few challenges of the Sandbox mode will be to release 10 queens at start, what will take for ever, and go on like this to 20 - 34 - 85 - etc.
