Progress Update 10/17/2020

Posted on October 17, 2020 by Revolutionary GamesOctober 17, 2020

Time to discuss the future of Thrive again. As you know, we had the 0.5.2 release last week and as always we discussed what is going to be included in the next release.

Last time we talked about binding agents and we want to work on them again in this version. Other new features include improving saving, improving balance, more work on the spawn system and working on the procedural patch map, among other things.

We couldn’t have a trailer for the new version ready on time, so in case you didn’t see it already here it is:

We’ve talked about changing the microbe stage soundtrack for a while now. Most of these songs are years old and some members of the community think that they need a rework or that we need new tracks. We are still discussing about this so no decisions so far are final, but you can expect to see more discussion about this in the coming weeks.

There was a lot of discussion on the forums. Several new features were proposed, most notably, unlocking new organelles, proteins and enzymes randomly instead of having them all available from the start. Since this is a big change and we are still debating about it, we also made a thread on the community forums where you can vote on these decisions.

One of the main issues that came after the godot port was resource spawning, often leaving the player in barren environments. Obviously that needs to be fixed, and that’s what we’ve worked on this week.
