Progress Updates

[Poodelicus (Crazy, Curious, and Stubborn)]

All of the following are later on the Roadmap than Repro

• Actomyosin available in the multicellular stage (muscle cell type)
• Nerve cell based on axon
• Non-cell parts of multicellular colonies (optional, if time)
• Background cells (optional, if time)
• Reproduction cell type (different from plain gamete) (optional, if time)

I guess that last one also counts as Repro, though, so you might be right.

I do hope we get at least the Nematocyst in Multicellular.

If not now maybe there’d still be time for it to be added to multicell during macro dev?

@aah31415

Maybe they prefer a different mode of reproduction instead?

nah i am planning to use mass budding in the next update, so i can start with my energy and attacker cell

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

So mass budding with a 2 cell start that is?

Progress Update 8/08/2026

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

I presume we’ve now entered a phase of polish before the 1.2.0 releases on the 29th?

[AnthropocenianAge (𝒜𝓇𝓉𝒽𝓇𝑜𝓅𝓁𝑒𝓊𝓇𝒶 𝓌𝒶𝓃𝓉𝓈 𝓉𝑜 𝑔𝒾𝓋𝑒 𝓎𝑜𝓊 𝒶 𝒽𝓊𝑔!)]

• Added a difficulty option-controlled ability to spawn a compatible mate upon calling for one. This defaults to on with Normal and lower difficulty, but is disabled at Hard. A chemoreceptor-style line points to this spawned mate upon calling one.

To clarify, is this a new Custom Difficulty option that is on by default on Normal and lower difficulties?

[Poodelicus (Crazy, Curious, and Stubborn)]

Isn’t polish usually the week before? We still have 3 weeks.

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

Yeah but nothing stops them from starting to do it a bit earlier, especially in such a featurerich update

[AnthropocenianAge (𝒜𝓇𝓉𝒽𝓇𝑜𝓅𝓁𝑒𝓊𝓇𝒶 𝓌𝒶𝓃𝓉𝓈 𝓉𝑜 𝑔𝒾𝓋𝑒 𝓎𝑜𝓊 𝒶 𝒽𝓊𝑔!)]

Will this mean 1.2.0.0 could release earlier?

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

No, it’d still release the same time methinks

[Mr.Pukilar (The Leader of the Pukilars)]

another use to my favourite signaling agent yay

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

Maybe some day it will be possible with biolum vacuole aswell…

[Mr.Pukilar (The Leader of the Pukilars)]

man i love the bioluminescent vacuole, also it would make sense to add it to the aware stage, since fireflies do attract males by glowing

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

I wonder if you could also evolve explosive/combustive chemicals in macro/aware…

[Mr.Pukilar (The Leader of the Pukilars)]

like the explosive harpoon bioweapon? that would be even cooler!

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

I meant more the bombardier beetle but that also fits ig

[AnthropocenianAge (𝒜𝓇𝓉𝒽𝓇𝑜𝓅𝓁𝑒𝓊𝓇𝒶 𝓌𝒶𝓃𝓉𝓈 𝓉𝑜 𝑔𝒾𝓋𝑒 𝓎𝑜𝓊 𝒶 𝒽𝓊𝑔!)]

I wonder how much more damaging could biological explosive/combustible chemicals be? Would a Creeper-like organism be even possible?

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

The problem is that it’d surely die to it’s own explosion…
