Hey, I had this idea for a game.

It would be a lot like Grand Theft Auto, in that GTA always takes place in a large city or urban center and involves a lot of different people and exploring etc.

Except that instead of involving people in a city, it would involve ants in an anthill.

Like, you would take on the roll of one ant and since ant hill are very complex and maze like and oftentimes are compared to city's it would be an easy analogous transition.

There could be parts where you could move beyond the anthill and go to the 'bee hive' and grow a pair of wings and do bee work for sidequests and stuff.

And you could also wage war on other ant colonies and even walk around the termite basin and other stuff like that.

The GTA games have always focussed on life in a large urban society and an ant hill type game would be a great translation of the basic structure of GTA.

So, what do you guys think?

Probably not, that would be too devastating for the game.

Ants actually live in more places in the world that anteaters do, and anteaters aren't even the number one predator of ants, despite the obvious name.

I just thought the whole urban society aspect would fit nicely in the world of ants and bees.

While the idea sounds good, grand theft auto means car theft, and ants cant drive cars. However i can see this being another game, just not a grand theft auto one. Good idea :).

I like this idea, it's a fresh take on an established genre. I don't know if it has to be GTA, but I still like it.

i think it's an awesome idea. rockstar should consider it for their next game.

but i do think if anteaters were in the game it would add a lot... you could use the city to somehow trap the anteater (it could fall into a river, or down a hole).

ants grow wings too, so they can be a form of transport. ;p
