Update 1 & 2 Patch Notes

Microbiome
A downloadable game for Windows

Update 1

  • Significantly reduced the minimum mass required for entities to reproduce, allowing them to spread somewhat without feeding.
  • Rebalanced the game accordingly.
  • Fixed a memory leak when starting a new round.

Update 2

  • Fixed dying always colouring entities grey.
  • Changed the top left score display to emphasise biodiversity and clarify the goal of the game.
  • Changed the way biodiversity is calculated so it accounts for every unique combination of the major entity traits (motility, type, and diet) and goes much higher as a result.
  • Removed Praxis. You now get a Populate point every milestone instead, and culling is free.
  • Slightly increased entity analysis speed.
