New release, Thrive 0.5.1.1

Today we bring you a new bugfix release! It should fix most crashes and some bugs, like the rigidity slider using MP when it shouldn’t. It also brings some minor GUI and graphical improvements. You can check the patch notes here. We also updated our launcher to a new version, which, as always, you can use to download the new release.

And with that let’s also see what has been achieved during this week.

Progress Update 8/8/2020

We’ve been testing a new method for rendering cell membranes, marching squares. We already discussed about using a similar technique, marching cubes, for generating terrain but for now we’ll see how it works with cells. This new method would allow players to build cells more freely allowing for example concave cells, unlike our current method.
