Are you planning on making the game modder-friendlier? Like, make your own modloader (even just a primitive modloader for loading and enabling assemblies from DLL-files would be very helpful) and add the ability to add custom fields to bibits (e.g. using dictionaries).
I know that the game already has the ability to easily replace sprites of bibits with custom sprites, but I would like the game code itself to become more customizable.
I think that the community would really appreciate such a direction of the game's development. Since your game is already a huge space for various interesting experiments and explorations, the further trend of adding the possibility of customization can make these explorations even more interesting and diverse.
wierd decision to remove the randomly generated virgin bibites which acted randomly and had to slowly evolve on their own. Like sure add defaults for players who just want to watch little guys run around but removing the old ones for no reason just sucks
I love this simulation so far, but I can't figure out how to find the graphs and family trees. Also, the feedback page needs to be updated to include versions beyond 0.4
Thanks! The graphs and family tree are only in the patreon alpha builds for now, but are coming out very soon! 0.6 public release is gonna blow you all away I think 😎
Hello! I just wanted to say that your game is really cool. The Bibites is definitely the best simulation game I've ever played. I don't have much in terms of suggestions, since it is already really good, but it would be cool if you could set the aging penalties to negative numbers so that the Bibites in a simulation could get stronger or more efficient with age. Overall, amazing game!
Please release the ant as a stock bibit. I've been trying to make my own and have had no success beyond making murderous queens that mass-produce drones that go in circles and never return.
So im trying to run it on linux if i open it not using -force-vulkan its opening as normal but i get the problem with the bluescreen after start a game but when i run it using -force-vulkan it doesnt open, looks like loading in the terminal and after loading the game screen opens and after just close it itself and i cant do nothing, any idea what happening? Im using it on a raspberry i would like to run it om the rpi4 and put it on a small screen on a wall. Somebody can help me woth it? Its very weird
You can turn those on by clicking the pencil on the top right of the New menu and scrolling down to the very bottom. There you can see the "Enable Viruses Option". Though it's apparently unstable, so you might not want that.
You could also add, like a cousin to the color thing, something that only targets and kills things with certain attributes or like within a range of something yk?
I think there should be more god tools like setting the size, age, maturity, how much energy they got, speed, and like other stuff that can change their anatomy. Oo and like placing like virus' with specific parameters and like artificial pheromons yk?
I tried out NeuraQuarium lately and I have to say i'm a little disappointed with the modern gaming industry way of being forced to pay your way into alpha testing. Thanks for staying free.
I think the temperature system in that is fascinating, though, as well as the way that creatures do not explicitly recognize objects in the game world, only color and smell. I think it could be neat for The Bibites to expand in that direction.
I also like the way that instead of a "void" or a "magic forcefield" there's just a rock barrier that deals adjustable damage, makes it feel more like an underwater alcove and encourages hazard avoidance better

only works on windows
How do you use it on chromebook?

Great game

It's still there, on the spawning options for a given bibite template you can choose "Randomize Genes"
when i extract the file and try to open bibites.exe it sais to" instal it again so that would fix the issue" but it doesent

We are waiting to get blowed by update:D
I love my bibites!

Hi! Can't make it work on a MacBookPro M2Max Sonoma! The start up screen shows 50% loading and never ends.. I paid 7$ Please help!
Mac USERS:
Apple needs you to run any app from the Application folder. So make sure that's where you extract the .app folder.
Hi! Still same result! It freezes at 50% loading.
Extract the whole downloaded bibites zip folder into your applications. That should work
All you need to do is:
1. Right click Bibites and press "Show Contents";
2. Proceed into folders Contents > MacOS;
3. Run the Application.
Hopefully, you found this helpful if you haven't yet launched the game.
Hi, download the itch app and install and launch the game from there. It stopped the 50% loading issue for me and for someone else here too!
As mentioned in the download instructions for MAC:
1. Put the whole TheBibites folder you downloaded in your Application folder
2. That's it.

more than a year already for the 6.0, thats taking a while...
it is a large update and there are only two developers working on this
This game is amazing!
Mac. Loaded to 50% then stuck
Try launching through the itch app. That is what fixed it for me.

After I start the simulation it's just a blank screen :(
Is this on a Mac?
No, I use a superior operating system: Ubuntu Linux
hmmm... You can try adding the "-force-vulkan" command line parameter when launching the game.
Will there ever be a android release?
reminds me of the spore cell stage
Idea: Cross species herding. This would be interesting because it could allow for symbiotic relationships
How do you add "-force-vulkan" command line parameter when launching the game?
Please release the ant as a stock bibit. I've been trying to make my own and have had no success beyond making murderous queens that mass-produce drones that go in circles and never return.
Love this game! Can't wait to see where it goes from here
Me too, I check back frequently for updates.
The feedback Poll only allows 0.4 as the highest Option
Very Interesting, I Would Recommend This Game
So im trying to run it on linux if i open it not using -force-vulkan its opening as normal but i get the problem with the bluescreen after start a game but when i run it using -force-vulkan it doesnt open, looks like loading in the terminal and after loading the game screen opens and after just close it itself and i cant do nothing, any idea what happening?

What happened to viruses?
You can turn those on by clicking the pencil on the top right of the New menu and scrolling down to the very bottom. There you can see the "Enable Viruses Option". Though it's apparently unstable, so you might not want that.
when lauched instantly stop working idk
anyone else having loading problems on apple
stuck at 50% right now
Me too
For me, when this happens moving the program to a different folder fixes it
Yep I moved the folder from documents to desktop
ok ill try that
Same, on windows
problem- i have the arrow key camera control off but when i try to use arrow keys it works. and my camera nonstop is moving left
Please please make this available on mobile
Ooo and maybe a Population graph of creatures that are tagged X
You could also add, like a cousin to the color thing, something that only targets and kills things with certain attributes or like within a range of something yk?
I think there should be more god tools like setting the size, age, maturity, how much energy they got, speed, and like other stuff that can change their anatomy. Oo and like placing like virus' with specific parameters and like artificial pheromons yk?
yea + the ability to change the structure of a bibites brain or change the genes
Is there anyway to increase growth seed I am at 1 hour and they are only on the second generation.
change timespeed or manually force them to lay lotsa eggs and forcekill the bibite of latest generation
a lot of fun, i hope you keep developing it over a long period of time.
I can't pan the screen, and is there an update section?

add on chromeOS PLZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ, am subscribed btw. btw MAKE MORE VIDEOS, PLLLLLLLLLLLLLLZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!
your running a form of gentoo linux, look up a tutorial on how to get access to the terminal then just execute the file from the terminal
how do i install the linux version?(im on chromebook)
it would be cool if you could use this in the web, but i played it on windows and this game is interesting
