This week we’ve discussed about a new feature, ATP usage bars. They are supposed to show how much ATP your cell will use and consume and also divide it for organelles and processes. With this we plan to make cell creation a more thoughtful process where the player can create the optimal cell for their environment… or just make a toxing shooting monstruosity that can be viable, whatever you please.

We did it, we finally implemented the new UI! It needs some tweaks and the report, patch map and editor tabs still use the old one, but nontheless it’s a big step forward.

EDITOR’S NOTE: Before we begin, we’re happy to announce that the release candidate for Thrive 0.4.2 is now available. Download and post your bugs/thoughts here, and while you’re at it, scream wildly into the void as your hype for the upcoming release consumes you here Now, back to regularly scheduled programming.
Hey guys, Nick here, and today we’ve got an update for you on one of the essential components of Thrive, evolution.
The oldest unanswered question of Thrive’s game design is: How will we create an evolution simulation that is both realistic and fun? It was one of the ideas that originally inspired the game, and it is one of the fundamental selling points of the first half of Thrive. Yet, it’s still a looming obstacle that we have just never been able to overcome.
