A friend came to me with an idea for a game based around throwing players into an Ant Farm and letting them just go nuts.
The game features a terrain dig/build system where you just dig around the map. Theres Hunger/Thirst stats to maintain which can be maintained through Water pools or Food that spawns above the map. There are also Weapons that can be gained to attack or threaten other players. You can establish clans to team up. Your goal is really gather resources to stay alive and also get power so you can’t be threatened and can defend your food.
Theres Pylons throughout the map to exchange items
ie: Twig → Shovel
These items provide players with advantages and gives and incentive to find/defend these pylons from other players.
The game right now has just finished development and we are preparing to run some sponsorships. Before this I would love some feedback on initial impressions when joining, what could be added to make gameplay more interesting, etc.
The general idea is to just dig around and gather resources. If it has player in it that creates competition/conflict since you can fight eachother, but on your own theres really not that much besides just digging around.
you should probably fix up the ui and fix the problem where it didn’t let me dig after a little while. also, i think music would make it a much nicer experience.
Alright, from the thumbnail looked super awesome only to be met with disappointment upon arrival.
So without further a-do lets dig in. (P.S sorry for making you read alot)

The game is super duper bland. Your met with a simple Menu and nothing else. Then you just fall into this dirt wall of some sort.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
Digging sometimes doesn’t work. I know the issue to this cause it happens all the time when I’m using terrain. The Dig / Build terrain radius is set to 1 causing it to not be able to Di / Build very correctly. I would suggest setting it to around 2 or maybe even 3.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
The game is so depressing. The colors, sounds, there’s almost nothing! Add some music, add some life to the Interface! (Rounded corners, gradients, highlights) just bring it to life!
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
Its just a sky, nothing else. I would recommend making a whole room, like a little kids room! and were on his desk for him to watch! Really set’s the tone for being super small.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
Use some better textures for the ground its just normal Roblox textures. Nobody likes these.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
Make it way more wider I feel so cramped up with all this limited space.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
There’s honestly no point in it…No reward for digging no nothing. Its just Dig - Build - Dig - Build Nothing exciting. Add some type of reward and able to purchase better items.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
Add a warning text fade in when your about to start dying from a need.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
Make it where you spawn underground first and its like a little base with a seller, buyer, etc…
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
Add some animations and vfxs for when digging or building.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
Add like a minecraft system where you can spawn blocks and parts and make support beams and beds stuff like that (I know were ants just for the funsies).
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
Conclusion : Just make the game overall better and read through what I’ve had to say thoroughly.
Its a mid beginning, but Rome wasn’t built in a day. Take your time and produce quality work for people enjoy.
