Ant Ausventure

Ant Ausventure is a simple vertical slice of an adventure game created for the 2022 Epic Mega Jam.

With the theme being As Above So Below, Ant Ausventure is a relaxing 3D quasi side scrolling adventure / exploration game that lets you explore both above and below the ground.

This game is targeted for high end graphics hardware, specifically GPUs with Shader Model 6 support as it takes advantage of the latest Unreal Engine 5 features (this was built off the UE5-Main Github branch) such as Nanite (including moving foliage!) , Virtual Shadow Maps and Hardware Accelerated Lumen.

If playing on a 4k monitor I recommend setting the resolution scale to ~50% as TSR does a very good job of upscaling.

Controls are WASD to move, Space to jump, Alt+Enter to toggle full screen and M to bring up the in game settings.
