Hey all! Big bugfixing update is now available for everyone. Sipho's performance is very important - even small stutters can ruin your experience. The FPS needs to be smooth. Therefore we have put our attention to how disabled objects are handled as they were causing stutters. Now, instead of disabling whole hierarchies of Obstacles, Consumables, Decorations - everything that is constantly spawned and despawned in played level, we disable only parts that are visible or cause interactions. This has cut the time CPU has to process level spawning by almost a half - noticeably improving performance in denser areas and level-ends. Let us know if you notice a difference! Full list of changes below:
Version 0.7.10f2
- Add test to catch offset graphics
- Fix Polyp graphics position too
- Fix Energy Leech graphics object being offset and consequently making connectors render incorrectly
- Fix Consumables being added to the instance list twice - fixes ghost Consumables shown in Sonar
- Fix outlines still rendering for pooled objects
- Fix Zooid pickups not getting disabled
Version 0.7.10f1
- Tweak Buginis boss 3 behavior and arena
- Add Health Regeneration stat and use it for Vagorian mover
- Soul Eater projectiles die faster when they're flying fast
- Do not allow camera movement after death in campaign
- Fix Steamworks app ID location
- Debug things
- Explicitly control what gets disabled when poolables are pooled - improves spawn/despawn performance by ~50%
- Update Mover dash stat multipler
- Update Steamworks.NET to Release 15.0.0
- Stat values are now stored as 1000 times larger integers to avoid rounding errors over time
- Make consumables without owned edible immediately
- Tweak Sizzler effects

Sipho is a game that combines eerie real life underwater creatures, insects, body parts with building, combat and exploration. Create your own creature by combining various parts, called zooids. Each zooid specializes in some sort of function– some zooids eat food, others are responsible for movement, attacking other creatures or providing structural support. Most zooids have active and passive abilities. All of the zooids combine into a single creature, Sipho, whose main goal is to climb to the top of the food chain, by using cunning weaponry and various skills.
Collect nutritious food, grow your own creature to become the best of them all. Beware though, there are powerful enemies out there to stop you.
