It's been a long time coming, but 0.6.3 is now out for the full public! We have a lot of new stuff to cover, so let's get right into it:Settings Animators / SeasonsYou can now create animation curves for settings, so they change gradually and automatically over time!You can specify any number of settings to follow a given curve. You only need to specify the base for each, and the settings animator will take care of the rest! The curves function multiplicatively, so that's why it's important to pick the bases correctly. In the example above, since the curve oscillates around 1.0 with an amplitu

Back By Popular Demand!We are Hosting Another Official Tournament Get ready for the second official bibite tournament, a Bibite's Battle Royale! If you missed the first tournament, here is how it went.The map features a deadly "Red Death" algae bloom that creeps in from the edges, forcing bibites to the center. It's toxic to bibites and consumes pellets. Bibites can detect it by the red pheromones it produces. Subscribe to Full Map hereThe diverse map includes four biomes.

Go vote for your favorites here. Voting closes 3/30 Now that we are a few weeks past the Steam launch, we are entering the next phase of The Bibites roadmap, version 0.7!!!! We are FINALLY working on implementing the innovative BIOME algorithm, a complete rework of the underlying bibites framework that will allow for more exciting and emergent behaviors and will serve as a foundation as we incorporate future system reworks such as to vision, digestion and reproduction (sex update). BIOME will be built with the new highly performant, Unity ECS/DOTS technology stack (multi-threading by default)

Small Hotfix for the sim, adding a bit of polish we didn't have the time to add before the launch as well as a few fixes to the limited numbers of bugs reported since the launch (we've been seriously impressed by how good the last release was overall and how few bugs have been reported) Changes Reworked credits panel (and added it back to the build) Added Bibite Research Conglomerate Link (to "Additionnal tools" panel in menu) Balance to some challenges Added arguments, allowing to launch the game independently from Steam Reworked min FPS settings, set to 15 by default (from 0/disabled) Enable
