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:

It's an honor Mr.Reynolds!

Your work on boids (and probably much more I'm not aware of) inspired my simulation significantly

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

My polycule decided to learn it as our secret language to communicate boundaries and personal things in public.

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
