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.

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.

Are bones planed to be added? Sorry if this is a stressing question

Whenever I try to start a new game, the game crashes
I bought the game on Steam recently. However, I can't play, when I click on new game, a screen appears showing some living being and after that the game queues up on a black screen and stops responding.
I've already lowered the graphics to the minimum possible, but I still can't play.
