Our lead developer has begun focusing on a new and improved launcher, migrated from javascript to C#. Another of our developers has created a rudimentary prototype of multiplayer as a side project, and one of our graphics artists continues to design revamped symbology for our newest microbe part.
It’s been a rather quiet week otherwise, but progress steadily marches on.
If you have any thoughts on the latest changes to Thrive, please let us know by creating a post in our dedicated feedback thread for 0.5.10! Knowing what our players think is vital for ensuring a smooth and enjoyable experience for everyone.
