What an awesome floating beast! This reminds me, we promised fire ant rafts to our backers. There is a long road of development still to go
.
Although the game doesn't really focus on arachnids, they will no doubt become a major feature and I love making contacts with people interested in the game from a more scientific outreach / biology perspective. We exhibited the demo at ENTOSCI 2016 (entomology conference for schools) and that went down really well (mostly because we were the only ones with a computer game in a hall of school children.. haha).
We are really busy at the moment as you can imagine, but more opportunities to showcase the game to a niche crowd are always welcome. If she knows of any events / competitions etc, especially where younger people might be involved, and where promoting a video game wouldn't be frowned upon (that can be a tricky one in this setting), I would be very interested to know.
By the way Jubal - the forum you advised us on is trundling along quite happily. It isn't growing much anymore but we have some regular visitors now. It should look nicely established by the time we release the game so thanks for the help with that! ->
