# Ant Architect

> Ant Architect is a pixel-art ant colony city builder with roguelike runs, made by Bus Built Games. It is coming soon to Steam; no release date has been announced.

Ant Architect is a city builder about a leafcutter ant colony. The player plans tunnels and chambers underground from a card dock (Ants, Rooms and Upgrades); the ants dig them out, cut leaves from meadow plants, farm fungus and raise new ants. Leaf cutters gather leaves, tend fungus farms and feed the queen; diggers excavate rooms and tunnels; warriors patrol the nest. Three fungus meals become one egg. Every ant eats each day.

It has roguelike runs: every world is generated from a seed, and seeds buried in the soil offer a draft of bonus cards (new ants, rooms and upgrades) that can be rerolled with dark dirt, so each colony grows differently. Days last three minutes, with a full day and night cycle.
