This week we managed to fit in two devbuilds as we continue to prepare for the eventual release of 0.5.6 on the 27th of November. We've made plenty of progress so far, and plenty of time to go even further! In addition we are also on the cusp of our first official platform release on the itch.io game store, with only the trailer remaining to be completed before our debut. If we are unable to release on steam by next month we may have to push back the release date of 0.5.6.

Looks like progress is still going pretty slow on Thrive, though the last few days we've seen increased activity on Github as a new programmer has done quite a few PRs. This new level of activity might be the new normal going forward as it's probable that for many people school has started again.
We are still looking into merch options as well as working towards having Thrive on Steam and itch.io. We will let you know when the store pages for Thrive are up. Before the Steam release …

This week you may have noticed that our website was down for a couple of days, as for whatever reason our previous host had become unresponsive and we were unable to bring them back.

That being said; This week we have been working on setting up our Itch and Steam releases of Thrive and discussing what we need to provide in terms of assets and information…

This week we have been busy viciously hunting down any bug we find in our continuous efforts in keeping Thrive clean and healthy. But that's not all we have been up to; We have recently been playing around with turning physics in hopes of providing more engaging gameplay overall.
We would also like to remind everyone that this upcoming week is the last week of our donation campaign, where donators who contribute at least 20€ (23.60$) will have their name included in our game credits…

We hope that everyone has been enjoying the latest release of Thrive so far! With 0.5.5 now let loose, we are pleased to find that binding agents are indeed much more stable and enjoyable, save for a couple of reported bugs that we hope to have fixed by the next update.
Speaking of which, 0.5.6 is currently looking to be another large bugfix release as we continue to chisel away at our extensive backlog of bugs and other issues. Of course, that doesn't mean we can't find some way to…
