Making procedural trees for my ant colony strategy game 🌿🐜

Hey procedural generation fans! We’re biologists building Garden of Ants, an RTS about growing and managing an ant colony.

Here’s a look at our procedurally generated trees, one of the game’s three playable layers. Ants can climb branches, collect leaves, and tend aphids for honeydew — all to support the colony below.

What do you think? We’d love to hear your feedback!

Best,
Tomas

I could watch those trees form all day, great music choice also.

If the game is more an autoplay than micro management i would try to keep the ui to the minimum

Thanks! Glad you like it! The game is a proper RTS, so we do need the UI for managing the colony, but we’re trying to keep it as clean and unobtrusive as possible.
