Hey ndlovelace13!
Turning the "AI threat" panic into an "Ant Invasion" incremental simulation is a top-tier pun for a Game Jam entry!
Beyond the joke, using an algorithmic, logistics-driven incremental system to model the blind, unchecked expansion of an invasive colony actually creates a pretty neat parallel with how algorithmic systems and automated networks spread in the real world.
Since your project plays on this exact wordplay and systemic expansion, it would be a fun fit for the Transmedia Jam #1: Humans versus AI (/jam/transmedia-jam-1). Since pre-existing jam entries are totally allowed, feel free to submit your game page—it takes two clicks and adds another cool, satirical perspective to the roster.
Good luck with the post-Ludum Dare updates, and long live the radioactive queen! 🐜☢️
