  The Bibites 0.6.3: Corpses and Seasons

  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 amplitude of 0.5, this means that the global fertility will oscillate around 10uE, with an amplitude of 5uE. Every 10h, the fertility will increase to 15uE, go back down to 5uE, and then return to 10uE, to then repeat the cycle. This had to be done so a single animator could animate many different settings together, even if they had wildly different scales and ranges. Since the animation curve is a spline that you can edit pretty freely, this allows you to make pretty much any curve you want (\ to add/remove points)And the ability to create as many animators as you want allows you to create environments that are a lot more dynamic and interestingCorpsesLook at all these disgusting, decomposing corpses!! Corspes have been a requested feature for a long time, so it was about time I delivered! Now, when bibites have their health drop to 0, they won't explode into meat anymore! They will turn into a corpse! A bibite, but brain dead, and with no active processes, that will slowly decay... and then explode into meat.... Corpses will slowly decay based on their previous metabolism (simulating their remaining metabolic processes slowly cannibalizing their carcass's integrity to hang on to existence)This can be sped up with attacks from other bibites, or even collisions.As this happens, the bibite will slowly turn ashen, then red when getting close to 0 integrity. Also, as they decay, corpses ...

  The Bibites Official Second Tournament

  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. Each biome has a limited number of finalist slots proportional to its biomass.BiomesThe Desert - 3 slots Subscribe hereA desolate area sparsely covered with plant and meat pellets, with a few hidden oases sprinkled in. A potential home for scavengers suited for the harsh environment.The Swamp - 6 slots Subscribe here Rings of plants surrounding pools of decaying meat, perfect for carnivores and rugged herbivoresThe Grassland - 5 slots Subscribe here Many small plant pellets evenly distributed, ideal for grazersThe Jungle - 10 slots Subscribe here Rich in large and small plant pellets for herbivores of all shapes and sizes.You can also download maps here and place in your scenarios folder at this path:C:\\Users\\*YOU”\\AppData\\LocalLow\\The Bibites\\The Bibites\\Scenarios(There was a bug with the red death in 0.6.2 make sure to update to 0.6.2.1 if you use itch.io, done automatically if you use steam)IMPORTANT! Helpful hints and map information:Selection Round Free-For-Alls: For each of the four biomes, we will run a selection round free-for-all. The rounds will end once the number of species remaining is equal to the biome slot count. Those surviving species will be finalists and move on to the Battle Royale.15Ku map sizeThe Red Death will sit at the periphery of the map but will not encroachThe Main Event: Battle Royale: Finalists (5 individuals per bibite) spawn in their chosen biome. Red Death will slowly advance creating a small central safe zone in 5hrs and finally completely covering the ma...

  The Bibites 0.6.2: Steam Workshop

  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!The Workshop!The people who bought the simulation on Steam (please do so if you haven't already

  Vote for 0.6.X Features!!

  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) which could increase performance by 10-20x. We are very excited for these features and work on them has already begun. That being said, 0.7 requires a lot of background rework that will not be conducive to public releases. So, in order to make sure we are providing our community with fresh content over the next year, we will be releasing "Community Selected" features in 2-3month cycles on the 0.6 branch. With assistance from our Patreon community, we have generated a list of 10 features that could be added in the next 0.6.X update. (See poll link above) The top feature will be added in the next public release along with some others already requested by our Patreon such as programmable settings(seasons), bibite corpses, radiation towers and more. Check out our Trello board for more details on what's to come. Don't worry if your favorites aren't selected this time around! We will recast the vote right after the next public release.
