This game feels so perfect right away! I’m a huge 3D software nerd and I adore the attention to detail in these environments. When I start learning how to make scenes and environments myself for the characters I’m modeling, I’m certainly going to reference this game. I’ll probably buy it soon to make that possible - and enjoy the interesting life of an ant! Thanks for sticking around and still making awesome content, I’ve been watching this channel since I was 7 and it brought me through seriously hard times. Also, it influenced my artistic hobbies a lot, which are a huge part of who I am now! Somehow you turned me into both a computer and nature geek… For context, I’m working on a personal project where I teach myself how to use Blender for character modeling, sculpting, rigging, texturing, and eventually animation. I have lots of different types of characters, but right now I’m working on dragons. Most people would put huge dragons in a normal sized world, where dragons tower above trees and stand on mountains like mounds, but I want to take a different approach. In order to do that however, I need to make convincing and highly detailed scenes and character models and learn how to render them really well. I want everything to be huge where the dragons dominate the lands, as if their species influenced the evolution of the ecosystem around them to match their size. Huge scenes like this are my favorite, otherwise everything seems a little too bland in my eyes. It can even make if more difficult to fit a camera into small rooms like this. In this world I’m creating, dragons come from vastly different backgrounds, meaning some are as small as butterflies while others can stand 20ft tall. As a civilization lead by a specialized monarchy, architecture was inevitable, as was trade and mingling between these sub-species. Buildings are of vast shapes and sizes down to the tiniest detail, and I seriously want to reflect this in my work. If you read this much, thanks for hearing me ramble about my work! If it at all sounds interesting you can subscribe just to see if I post any progress some day…but no promises!
The new age of an ant empire has risen upon their colony and to fight, to show which species of insects are superior among thereself. Beaver goal is to be more powerful.
Now, the real fun begins. And a new series! *The Ant Empire* has finally rise so does our great emperor beaver! (And seriously this game looks really beauitful and fun.)
Oh man, can't even remember the last time I've watched a video of yours. But what I do know is that you were one of my favorite childhood TH-camrs, and I feel joyful watching your videos again. (I'll be honest, I almost shed a tear watching this.)
hey beaves! A tip I found out by playing the demo: if you control one legion, and send them toward the icon of another legion, they'll follow that legion! I've used this for a few things, like giving workers a legion of soldiers to protect them, or making all my fighting legions follow the guy that'll be in front so i only have to control the front guy and the rest automatically follow him!!
Wow, the voice dubbing was🤌.. For a moment I thought the ants were speaking.. but then I remembered what my dad once told me ,'ants don't speak English '..
The 'Empire of the Ants' demo video of yours was my first from you... love the vibes and the energy so I subscribed! Can't wait for more from this series!!!😁 And I absolutely cannot wait to play this game for myself! That's what drew me to your channel in the first place😁
This game is awesome! I’ve been playing it and no frame drops (doesn’t matter to me either way particularly), I love RTSs more than any other game type! Two things I wish were different: coop vs. A.I. a full custom skirmish setup, like Age of empires did way back and even Halo Wars 2. And it would be cool to be able to check out your best; albeit they do a good job balancing it.
To save some people confusion, there isn’t coop at all. They were clear there is multiplayer and custom skirmishes but you can FFA 3v3, 1v1v1 and that’s it. You CAN hang out with a friend’s ant while your armies clash which is fun 👍
I love the gaming beaver. I’ve been watching him for over 10 years and every time I feel down, he always makes me feel better when he’s making everybody happy and I’m proud of him and keep up the good work buddy and be safe out there and you’re the best.😊❤ he 😂 very funny
@TheGamingBeaver Slightly disappointed you didn't call this video "The Antventure begins!" but I am excited for this series! The gameplay seemed very Brütal Legend-like, but my arachnophobia will most certainly prevent me from playing this. So here I am enjoying the game through you, hope you have a lot of fun with it!!
The empire of the ants series it mentioned is a french book series and Bernard Werber is the author, in french it’s called ‘Les fourmis’ or ‘the ants’, I read the trilogy a while back in french, it was pretty cool, it’s awesome that it’s got such a cool game adaptation, might pick it up at some point.
Watching this as I am legit having a battle against a raid of ants right on my desk. The joys of living by a huge forest -.- But nonetheless, this game is extraordinarily beautiful in every way, makes me almost feel bad about killing these ants... But this is MY FRIGGIN' HOME NOT THEIRS XD
I'm going to be honest gaming beaver I like that game I wish I could play it but I don't have a computer yet one day I will get my own computer one day
I love u beaver I’ve been watching ur videos for a few years when ever I’m down I watch one of ur videos and it always brings a smile to my face I hope u get to read this
Fun fact: due to ants being so small, they can survive any fall as their terminal velocity does not produce enough force on impact to injure them
So if I slam 1 on the ground it won't just explode?
no@@GamingTiger8
@OfficialSinViolin oh ok thanks for the fact tho
@@GamingTiger8 that is NOT fall velocity my guy T^T
I was talking about this in my mind one time
The beginning of a new series
a new era
Lets see if it will be as good as the
empire of the undergrowth series
My dad wount let me boy early accesss :((

The way the ants flick their antennas is so well done!
Almost makes me wonder if they put ants in tiny mo-cap suits for the animations, lol.
As a matter of fact THEY DID!

Amazing game! Looking forward to the rest of the series!
Also you should play creatures of sonoria with Whitney one day, I'm sure she'll love it!
This is fun, i love watching this great game, and beaves wacky shenanigans is always the cherry on top xD
SUPER NICE
Start of a lovely new series!
You are not insignificant you made my childhood and the ones of many others!

I was counting down the seconds after the early access arrived For beavers video.
james's voice acting is phenomenon
28:18 A civil conversation amongst the boodshed. See folks, tranquility works.
