The Bibites 0.6.3 Alpha 2: More Towers

Added 2025-09-26 22:05:41 +0000 UTC

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!

Two New Towers

The Rad Tower produces a zone of Radiation, which will gradually increase the mutation level and intensity of bibites that remain in the vicinity. The longer bibites stay around, the more mutated their offspring will be

The Pheromone tower will produce pheromones (in the combination you desire) at a given heading. This will allow you to create more interesting pheromone landscapes for your experiments.

Other Changes and Fixes:

Improved selection, so now you'll be able to select bibites even if you're not a professional Osu! player
Added a setting to tune how forgiving the improved selection is
Fixed Red Death Damages still taking effect after the bibites leaves the dangerous area
Fixed Bibite corpses not being destroyed when swallowed, providing an infinite source of meat to larger bibites

As always, you can have access to the alpha branch on Steam by following these instructions with the password "leoisawesome"
