It's been a long awaited promise, and I think this is going to be incredibly worth it.

You can specify any number of settings to follow a given curve. You only need to specify the ...

We've been pretty busy lately preparing our presentation to the ALIFE 2025 Conference (and planning the trip in general), as well as running the tournament, so progress has been limited, but I hope these few additions will still make you happy!
Look at all these disgusting, decomposing corpses!!
Corspes have been a requested feature for a long time, so it was about time I delivered!

It's been a while since we updated the public version, and we think we were overdue, so here it is! We have started doing a lot of background work, but we still have quite a bit to share this time around. Obviously, the Steam Workshop integration, but also many small improvements and quite a lot of bugfixes (and one small surprise 🤫)!
Let's go right to it!

2025-06-25 18:41:20 +0000 UTC View PostPppstt... please don't share this with others, but there's a few secret additions in this release.
But first, the boring stuff:
Improvements to the workshop
Improved the collision equations (for damages) to be more realistic and based on the transferred impulse (big bibites won't be as sensitive to small bibites ramming into them)
Fix to lineage...

Joyeuses Fêtes to all of you!
I finally got the brain editor to a state I consider satisfying, and I wanted to take the opportunity of this day of Noël (that's how we say it in Québec) to give you access to it!
Open any bibite Template and modify the bibite's brain and Genecode!
This is the first alpha on the road to the Steam release, with minimal inclusions. I wanted to fix all the remaining bugs and give you a first taste of the editor and how it'll work!

It's been close to a year and a half since the last public release and it's frustrating to have kept the free users without news for so long.
I want to start by apologizing to everyone for this long delay, I kept going in different direction and adding more stuff, which made the bug fixing a nightmare. It took a while, but now we're finall...
THE TIME IS NEAR
AFTER SO MUCH TIME
I CAN'T EVEN
If this release goes well and not many bugs are flagged, I aim to release this new update publicly!
Until then, it's all hands on deck, as we have to catch as much as possible before it's ready!
This aims to be the last alpha for the 0.6 update.
If all goes well, and only minor things are reported, the next Patreon Release will be the official Release Candidate before pushing the new 0.6 version to the public!
This has been an enormously long journey, but I'm very excited to be this close to it.
On the menu today, a lot of fixes, and some minor tweaks.

Ironing out the last release and all the new introductions in systems, this alpha should be a lot more balanced! With the help of Aaron, a new member of the dev team, we put extra effort in doing extensive testing and fine-tuning.
And no need to worry, we also have a load of new features and other things to get very excited about.
This also marks the final significant alpha, aside from ...
WARNING: Due to too many differences in the simulation settings, logged data, etc. Saves will not be able to be imported from previous versions. Individual bibites will be tho.

I think some of you will be surprised by the performance improvement we gained with switching Unity versions! It wasn't easy, but I think it was very worth it.
