The Bibites 0.6.1 hotfix: Hot and Fixed

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)
Enabled keyboard control by default (but beware, controllers can cause weird stuff when plugged in)

Bug Fixes

Fixed achievement error when completing a non-official challenge
Fixed target time speed slider moving all over the place when min fps is in effect
Pausing the game won't cause time slider to be thrown into wack because of min FPS system
Fixed Achievements displaying as locked if they were unlocked both locally and on steam (I know lol)
Fixed bibites rendering bellow pellets
Fixed Bibite Library button taking you to bibite editor with empty bibite instead
Fixed Ancestral Lineage Panel's settings being shown twice (and only working once)
Fixed error in displayed value of Effective Species Span (in Species Lineage Panel)
Fixed complex brains completely freezing the game when bibite is selected (might still freeze for few seconds lol)

SO, what can you expect in the short term?

Steam Workshop Integration (soon-ish)

A big priority for me starting now will be integrating the steam workshop to allow you all to share bibites, scenarios, and challenges easily! (and who knows, maybe mods at some points)

Stronger/Stabler Linux support (soon-ish)

We've got a few reports by some linux users for whom the game didn't work/ boot properly. Although many Linux users reporting the sim working flawlessly, we're aware that the vast diversity of distros makes our previous approach of "Trust the Unity build process will magically make it work" was lacking to catch some more minute details and errors. So I'll be repurposing an old computer to run linux and test everything more thoroughly. In the meantime I've been told Wine and Proton makes the game work perfectly without any issues!

Evolutionary Algorithm Redesign (the famous BIOME algorithm) (far future)

Although that probably won't make it to the Steam branch for a long long while, the next step is to basically... start over (at least for the evolutionary algorithm powering the sim) to unlock the next step in emergence. I don't think you'd believe it if I would tell you my full plans (okay you might) And in the same time address a lot of the core performances issues that hold back the sim right now So.. yeah! Stay Tuned, and thanks a lot for everyone's support thus far <3

Welcome to the Incredible World of the Bibites!

The Bibites is an Artificial Life Simulation with the ambitious goal of proving that life does not have to be carbon based.

Join The Bibites community in using the power of evolution to create digital creatures of unlimited complexity. Each Bibite has a unique brain and genetic information that evolves over generations. What will your Bibites become?

Custom Sand Box Worlds

Create your own digital worlds using various physical and biological parameters then populate them with bibite save files or templates. Play a benevolent god by assisting your bibites in their struggle for survival, or challenge them with desert like conditions where only the best can survive. The choice is yours.

Complex Artificial Life

Watch as your world explodes with diverse life! Through the pressures of natural selection, bibites evolve to fill various environmental roles including predation and parasitism. With their Neural Network brains and pheromone system they can even learn to communicate and work together.

Analyze

Unlock the secrets hidden within your worlds with various in-game tools. Follow your Bibite's ancestral journey with family trees and lineage views, or, analyze the population's stats and genetic information over time.

Compete!

Test your Bibite's strength by submitting them to Challenge Levels, where they compete in diverse trials or against bosses, unlocking new content, achievements, and a chance to dominate the community leaderboards. Will your bibite reign supreme?
