How can you ask such a silly question? It's closely related to you, from the looks of your avatar...=)

The game is, er... actually, I'm about to start graduate school in artificial intelligence. So, the game is a study in artificial intelligence that happens to have graphics, so I can see what's going on. But, despite how it looks, the majority of my effort went into graphics (and making them fast) so that the AI is still half-baked=)

I'm thinking the plot might be something like... say... there's a really small robot. Or there are really big bugs. And, they fight! Also, the bugs are evil so you have to save the world, and you're the only one who can do it because your father left you the family's treasured giant robot (or tiny robot).

Just kidding, that sounds pretty lame! Hahaha...

Ok, really, I think the plot will involve magical mitochondria capable of a direct matter-to-energy conVersion of Elerium, thus allowing insects to grow to fantastic sizes depsite their lack of an efficient circulatory system. The gameplay will by a hybrid of X-COM, Privateer, Secret of Mana, and possibly Sim Farm. (This paragraph is actually true.)

Of course, you can also just sit back and watch the bugs run around and eat each other, which is pretty fun. For some people.
