    I kept up with the development of ant simulator, and this was super disappointing when it happened. The primary developer was super passionate about the project, but accidentally allowed the contract he signed with his business partners to allow them to use the money however they wanted, leading to him cancelling the game after learning they spent all his money on strippers and alcohol. It was really sad to see someone’s hard work and passion go to waste, and I wish I could have played the game in a finished state, it looked really good

      Well, SimAnt came out in 1991 and was the precursor in a lot of ways to the Sims. It was a fairly involved game for its time, and an new game on a similar theme would be interesting.

        SimAnt was fucking legendary. It really deserves a worthy successor, I guess Ant Simulator wasn’t it.
