Howdy class! I’ve been out of town all week, but here’s my proposal. For project 3, my proposal is a simply drawn or geometric-style point and click game featuring an ant (or potentially ant colony). Through clicking around in the space, the user will discover interactions like going to the surface to get food, digging a deeper home for the colony, using the displaced dirt to build a mound, mating, taking care of larvae, raising an army, defeating invading animals, stocking up on food for the winter, rerouting water paths, coming up with societal standards and culture… until the game finally ends when a large human foot kicks the mound and destroys everything. Depending on how flash goes, I could see this project taking on some RTS aspects, but should definitely work as an untimed point and click if not.
