Two 3D models of robot ants stand in front of a doorframe. Each one points a gun towards the camera. One is crouched slightly lower than the other.

About time that events started happening in the Northern Netherlands! Last Friday we attended LevelUp, the first game dev industry networking event in the north. Needless to say, we hope it’s back next year!

Dec, a robot ant wearing a trenchcoat and a fedora, floats in the air with his eyes closed, head tilted back, and arms raised slightly. He appears to be floating towards a cloud that casts a spotlight on him.

Can you believe it? It's Ascension Day today! Perfect time to bring up this old drawing of Dec, now edited to feature his redesign!

An image depicting an brown-ish background with a shadowed figure of a robotic ant with a fedora standing on the right side, face in profile. Behind him is a yellow circle, like the light from a projector. The ant emmits smoke, which drifts to the left and makes the image darker.
On the left side, on top of the smoke, is a logo. The logo depicts a yellow case folder with grey smoke behind it. Inside the folder is the text “The Energy Case“.

This image depicts the meme with two panels. In the first one, someone holds up two pictures, edited to show one of them as the previous image on this post, and the second one as a meme visual depiction of the character Edwin from Five Nights at Freddy’s. The caption underneath says “Corporate needs you to find the differences between this picture and this picture.“
The second image continues the meme normally, with a woman looking into the camera and saying “They’re the same picture“.

A GIF of Dec, a robot ant, sitting in a swivel chair with his legs resting atop a desk. He appears to be sleeping, with his hat covering his eyes, his hands folded atop his abdomen, and a cable coming out of him plugged in the wall behind. One of his secondary limbs occasionally twitches.

A compilation of different images, all closeups of robot bugs, showing off how they use their secondary set of limbs. At the top the caption reads “The Many Functionalities of Secondary Limbs!“

The first image is a closeup of an ant’s back. She’s holding green papers under her secondary limb. A line points at it with the caption “carrying flyers“.

The second image is a closeup of two ants, facing each other. One holds up a wooden sign with his limb, and the other is holding spools in hers. Lines point to both of them, reading “keeping a sign upright“ and “holding spools“.

The third image is of a group of bugs. An ant stands tall with his head cut out of the image, and a ladybug is crouching beside him, passing a can of oil to someone else. The ant uses one of his limb to gesture for the ladybug to hide, and the ladybug uses one of his limbs to balance while crouching. Lines point to their limbs, reading “gesturing/pushing“ and “keeping balance“.

The forth image is a closeup of a barman ant cleaning a glass in his hands. His secondary limb holds up what looks like an alcohol bottle. A line points to it, reading “holding bottle“.

The fifth image is a closeup of two ants, each on opposites sides of a bar. The barman’s head is cut out of the image as he leans on the bar, pouring a drink while holding the bottle with his secondary limb. The other ant is reading the newspaper, holding it with both his secondary limbs. Lines point to their limbs, reading “pouring drink“ and “holding newspaper“.

“My favourite thing in recent concept art has been exploring the bugs’ secondary set of limbs and what they can be used for. I imagine their society is very good at multi-tasking” - Kris, our Visual Lead

Happy Easter, everyone!

Remember, when handling animals, do not perform strenuous activities, as your engine smoke is not good for organic life and might stress them out!
