[VJ] Too Many Antlions

Ideas and Suggestions
Got an idea and would like to see it come to life? Say no more and write it down here. If good enough, it might make it into the addon.

Try to keep within the feel and aesthetic of Half-life 2's universe. Their colour schemes can't be too saturated such as a bright red, rather more natural themes and abilities such as a dark green-brown hide with the ability to plant biological sentries. Also try to state their role within the hive.

Ideas to start you off:
-A nurser/breeder type Antlion that remains within the hives its whole life. It tends the Grubs like a 'mother' of some sort and carries them around on it's bloated, bioluminescent abdomen. Evolved from ageing Antlion Workers that can no longer build tunnels and as a result of age become slower and less efficient at tunneling.
-An ambusher type Antlion that simply hides and waits for enemies to pass by, in which it unburrows, impales the prey and drags them down with them.
-A worm type Antlion. Workers that manage to not become a Nurser become the 'Trojans', massive worm-like beasts that can tunnel at extremely fast speeds and thus create networks that can easily transport troops to unguarded positions.

and antlion king or queen... summons eggs from where born grubs... the grubs can turn into any variants of antlion... or maybe a especific one... so they can expand it... the workers or builder {the greener ones} have a ai designed to protect eggs or grubs so if you hit or kill one they will priorice you ... something like that...

As I already said before in the planned updates, Kings are coming soon and yet again, hive behaviour is considered.

Antlion Breeders already are in the process of being made, along with the hatchlings, named 'Nesters' or 'Spawn'. The Antlion Rollergrub would not be possible to make since a model doesn't even exist.

Having a look at the things you made for Gmod... Perhaps that Antlion dupe of the suicider might be able to become a thing.

what about a antlion synth? a antlion with synth tech

and a antlion scrapper? a giant glowing antlion guard that can spawn antlions on low hp and does alot of damage

This pack will only include naturally forming Antlions, meaning they cannot be artificial. A scavenger of some sort can be added though, where it is able to graft bits of stolen technology onto itself.

last patch of ideas
antlion hunter-a blue glowing antlion that is kinda weak but is dangerous
antlion shambler-a yellow glowing antlion worker that uses lightning as range
and slow antlion-a black antlion that moves slow but does alot of damage
geeworm  [developer] 5 Jun, 2019 @ 4:37pm 
Shambler is an interesting idea. Slow Antlions, 'Smashers' are already being made.

i see cant wait for the antlion king :steamhappy:

How about eggs that are layed, that then hatches releasing a grub, then the grub growing into any variant of the antlion hive...
geeworm  [developer] 7 Jun, 2019 @ 2:36am 
That's considered already. It might come in the soonest update. Right now I'm working on an animation project so I don't really have the time, but it will be fairly simple to do a quick timed hatch for eggs into grubs.

Grubs should move when born to a safe spot (mostly concealed spot) to mature.
