News and discussion about Thrive, the ambitious open source evolution game.
Thrive
Thrive is a game about the development of life, from the formaton of the first cells to galactic civilizations. Thrive is free and open-source; our development is powered by dedicated volunteers with a passion for the project. We are always looking for new developers, and if you want to join us to help bring our many concepts to life faster, send us an email!
Our team seeks to accomplish two major goals:
- Create engaging, compelling gameplay that respects our players' intelligence.
- Remain as accurate as possible in our depiction of known scientific theory.
We plan to immerse the player in a procedurally generated and evolving world filled with the wonders of science, and to allow them to manipulate the virtual world around them in any way they please. Our game will contain multiple editors where players can create and modify technology, culture, organisms, and entire solar systems.
Thrive takes many games as inspiration, from roguelikes to grand strategy games, but we plan on walking our own path with many game mechanics, so don't expect a clone.

are Bacteriophages & virus's planned for the game?
i think it would be really cool to play as a virus, and it would really benefit having a random creature generator

Game keeps crashing (7.0.0 for windows)
I keep trying to open the game, and when i tried to evolve my cell for the first time on the save, the game freezes and i have to close it because it does not respond. tried to open it again. crashed when deleting a 5 month old save. tried again - crashed when i loaded my save from the 1st attempt. tried again - made a new save and it crashed after moving my cell 5 feet.
what is happening?

Will deep life be added?
Kurzgesagt posted a new video about life living in the deep crust and how extreme and weird the creatures and environment is. What im asking if that'll be added to the game, because it'll give alot more things to do and possibly an environment so small that the player could see end to end.

Will Thrive be translated to Cherokee?
I was looking through the list of languages on Thrive. While I may just be blind, I didn't notice Cherokee on there. I was wondering if there's a chance it might be translated some time in the future?

Turn off auto resolution
So just turned on newest version and it not choosing a good resolution for my device, is the a way to change to manually set the resolution?
If not why, you literally have setting to control number of threads but not to set resolution or to window mode?

Could you make thrive support steam deck because I want to play it but I can't because when I launch its just like "no" and kicks me out. I know this is because of a line of code that crashes the game if the device isn't compatible but could you please work on steam deck compatibility?
I beg I want to play it on my steam deck :)

When will 1.0 be ready?
I know this is a question y’all probably get a lot, but is there a broad timeline for 1.0? This game seems super neat, and I’d love to play it!

Loading Screen Backgrounds
Hey all, I am unfortunately unable to load up Thrive at the moment, but I had a question for people working on the game (or anyone with knowledge). Will there be artworks for loading screens in the final product? I remember there being artworks, but I was wondering if they would be final or not, as I know some places have switched to be more 3d based.

Am I the only one that thinks this feature would make the game peak?
