It's Finished!

After months of waiting, it's finished. The colony is submerged, the ants are digging, and the air is circulating.

I present to you...




Ant-ture
.

The seal around the lid is air/watertight, the air is flowing better than it was BEFORE I sealed the lid, and the Ants are busy little... Um... Ants. About 85% of them survived the trip here, and they're currently in the process of eating and transferring gel to bury the dead ants with. According to what I've read, this coupled with the air circulation will prevent any sort of disease or issues.

So, I plan to update once a week until all the ants are dead. I will attempt to setup a 24/7 webcam, but I have no idea how well that will work. So we'll see in time.

Thanks for reading the blog, thanks for sticking with the project, and thanks for the donations that made the finished product possible!

Ant-ture will not fall, my friends!

  4. Do you have a queen in there?

  5. No. No queen.

    1.) Couldn't have a Queen shipped to me.
    2.) The population would explode, and they'd probably start killing each other off.

  8. The best part is that even if it does fail it will have matched Rapture in success.

  10. I think it's actually apropos that there is no queen, due to what agentchieftain said.

  11. "I plan to update once a week until all the ants are dead."

    How many weeks ago did you say that?

  12. Sorry. Ran into some family troubles.

    As it stands, the ants aren't fairing too well. They kind of started warring with eachother after the second week, and as of last night, the 6-7 that weren't ripping each other apart were hiding in corners.

  13. Hmm that sounds kinda like a CIVIL WAR! Lol, maybe this will follow the same fate...

  14. That sounds awesome, actually. Aside from the ants being dead, of course, but it makes me think of splicers.

  15. WHERE IS THE WEBCAM, EGGMAN. YOU SAID THERE WOULD BE WEBCAM.

  16. The Webcam idea was a bust. The quality was so bad, you couldn't see shit. :(

    You guys didn't miss much. I think they're all dead. I can't see the ones that are hiding, and there are body parts EVERYWHERE.

    The living conditions are still fine, though. That's kinda sad.

  17. Honestly, I think it has to do with the fact that there was no queen. With no higher authority to follow, worker ants just kind of go berserk.

    Hell of a funny metaphor.
