For those who bought the game on Steam, the game should update automatically, and you can find the devlog here:
store.steampowered.com/news/app/273...
As always, the update is available for free on itch, even if you never purchased the game on Steam!
You can read the update's devlog and download it here:

A new public version of The Bibites (0.6.2) is out now!
The main flashiest feature is the Steam Workshop integration that allows you to share bibites, scenarios, etc. in an easier manner than ever!
But don't worry, we've got lots of stuff for everyone!
And a surprise!

I used to do a bit whenever I started losing in board games.
I’d play emotional music and stare into the distance with resignation.
50% of the time, others would take pity and start helping me
50% they'd dogpile me even more, laughing maniacally
win-win
Apparently, it has always been this easy to get natural predators to evolve from herbivores!

That's very cute

With all the changes I Implemented since, herding doesn't really seem to be encouraged and it's now pretty much always used as a kind of avoidance behavior (by negative stimulation)
It's an honor Mr.Reynolds!
Your work on boids (and probably much more I'm not aware of) inspired my simulation significantly
I even mentioned you in one of my early videos when I used a system heavily based on boids to implement simplified herding behaviors

Folks, we did it 😎

And I would love to present something focusing on technical aspects of The Bibites!
But I'm not a formal academic so the lingo loses me a bit
Workshops seem more for open discussions?
Tutorials seem a bit too focused on teaching?
What's the right kind of proposal?
The unspoken truth about adding achievements to your game is that you get tired very quickly of having to write the word "Achievement"

A few people asked about wanting to have a better look at my math notes for the revision to the bite system
Here nerds! (I can't talk much as I'm the one who made them, but still)
New Video out!

No Bibites NFTs ever
Stupid technology to stupider (or even non-existing) problems
I’d just like to shout out humans for at least seeing through NFTs as the most idiotic idea possible.

I usually pride myself in trying my best to give every voice an ear and expose myself to different opinions, even if I strongly disagree, but twitter has become toxic and unhealthy so I'm looking for alternatives
Still using both for now, although content here feels better
I use @freya.bsky.social's Shape for in game graphs, but for video animation manim is the way to go for me
They have different strengths I feel
Although manim's learning curve is pretty steep, but I got to that point from 0 in a single day, so not so bad I guess
One of the benefits of working on artificial life

Even Digital Life has drama and disputes
Makes me think of all the lives, wars, and events, that take place continuously with our physical microorganisms, and at such an enormous scale

It's worthwhile no matter what:
It remains a niche conlang: Yay! Secret language!
It becomes widespread: Yay! We can communicate with more people
added bonus: new ways to think abt stuff
Can you "pan" something 🤔?

I've been going through your sci-fi bibliography in the last year and this short story was so good that I'm considering giving a chance to your fantasy work next!
Does this make my point?
I think it makes my point
Don't worry about the point, just look at it
Wish I started learning Manim sooner
It's such a powerful (but admitedly complex and convoluted) tool for making mathematically driven animations easily (once you get the hang of it)
I'm only scratching the surface, but it'll make video making much faster
