Update #1: You Can Pet The AntsHi all,Wanted to put my best foot forward and push out a little new update. This is my first time doing an Early Access project. I've released two other games on Steam, and one on consoles, but Early Access carries a different vibe. That expectation that if you jump on the train early you see meaningful engagement from the developer. I've played enough Early Access games myself to know it's annoying to never see one finish or just move. so. slow.Anyways, you can pet the ants now. By using the mouse cursor, if you pet an ant for a little over a second it will become happy which has a little visual animation. The ant will remain happy for the remainder of the session. A happy ant does nothing else so far other than your personal knowledge that the ant is indeed happy
