Here's a little patch release that fixes some of recent feedback on the game: Version 1.2.3f1 Add Zooid health bar display options - control how long they are shown and if they are shown in Growth Mode Leech renderer gets proportionally much less segments when scaling with stats - improves performance late epoch Fix stacked Budlings sometimes erroring out when detached Cache particle graphics settings so they are not read every time particles are spawned - improves performance in late epoch

Welcome old and new players! With new player influx we have noticed several issues popping up more often than would be normally acceptable. Therefore, while working on new content, I wanted to gather a bunch of fixes and improvements to the game bit earlier and release that in this small update: Version 1.2.2f1 Do not scale boss battle spawners in higher levels and epochs - fixes lag in late game Handle input device timings better. Fixes PS4 controller being regarded as "used" at all times Out of bounds areas in boss arenas appear black Fix Zooid award effect despawning bit too early Respect g

Hello Siphonophoreans! One of the fathers of Sipho, NinjaKyat, has released their solo project called Antipaint! It is a roguelite action-shooter where each levels becomes a painting. The game features an awesome soundtrack from real live bands, really juicy effects that make popping enemies super satisfying and wacky items that parallel Sipho Late Epoch Gameplay™️. From my personal experience, I've been playtesting the game and it hasn't gotten old yet - it's a really nice way to let off steam after day's work. It feels like I can still break the game in different ways and while doing so, I h

With this update we would like to wish you Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Lots of background changes have been introduced in this version - while it's not content, we want to have the best version of Sipho available while we work on more content. Level generation rewritten This was one of the changes I wanted to do for a long time and this paragraph will get a bit technical. Since the beginning, level spawning was made to be noise-based and "shader-like" where we would go through every potential spawn position (pixel) and check the noise function value if we need to spawn something there

Hello players! As hinted about in previous update post - we finally have a full Verification for Steam Deck! This required making several improvements to User Interface. Now smaller screens have UI automatically scaled up to make the text larger and more legible in small resolutions (800p). Text Input Fields required some rework which I am quite happy with. Now on top of all Input Fields an extra button appears when hovered or selected, indicating what will happen when it's clicked - either entering search query, renaming a thing. Feels quite fitting for all input types and makes them more not

Psst! ːpoisonBombː We snuck in a bunch of fixes following the last announcement: Version 1.1.0f4 Do not try replacing non-skill key when key in options is rebound Update Tutorial images and make it control-type agnostic Fix extra zooid selection out of bounds UI scaling fixes for small resolutions Eradicate 'click' mentions in UI Report relevant current button binding when rebinding skills Fix Growth Camera movement with keys not being aligned with camera rotation

Hello Sipho players! We are proud to present a new, much more Polished version of Sipho! From little things that break immersion and make you question the reality of underwater ecosystem dynamics to huge improvements for Controller and new languages! Controller improvements We saw a significant use of Controllers to play Sipho and had to go in and fix several long-standing issues. One of them was not being able to reposition or move zooids in Growth mode using controller. So now you can! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32263160/1722d03865f260ee593b1a6f0c6f02d41fcbd37e.gif Taking control of your lifeforms i

Hello all! We have been gathering feedback from community forums and watching various streamers play Sipho and got a nice list of notes that we are addressing with this update! Budlings now feel much safer next to their parents and should not run away from big enemies. Especially those enemies who are threatening their mother colony! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32263160/c259cded72404ea3d1ed79f3cd0f38d838279ff2.gif There seems to be a disturbing lack of self-preservation among your offspring...

Hello Sipho players! Almost a week has passed since 1.0.0 launch and it was exhilarating! After so long in the Early Access tunnel the release and tons of new players experiencing the game for the first time were the light at the end of the tunnel. Development isn't over though - we want to "unlock" the intended Sipho experience for everyone. After watching many new Let'splays and collecting players' feedback we noticed that onboarding to the game needs more work. It is something you can develop a blind eye on - the playerbase was experienced, you, as a developer know how things work - so nobo

Hello all, We have a small batch of hotfixes from recent feedback. Some have reported controller auto-detection not working, so we added an option to override input detection mode. It can be found in the Options menu. We notice a lot of runs end after the first boss - enemies are noticeably more aggresive there and gang up on the player. As a temporary solution we have tweaked their aggresiveness and range of detection to be lower - making them less likely to gang up on the player. Let's see how this goes. Caltroper is one of the newest Zooids who is quite hard to control. These changes make i
