It was an exciting week after the release of 0.5.10, and we have been very happy to see how much everyone has enjoyed the new mucilage jet and compound generation in action. But while players have been experimenting with their newfound cellular sugar rockets, the Thrive team has been largely quiet post-release. The ongoing college semester and encroaching holidays has momentarily robbed us of much of our volunteer support, so expect a slow week or two in the coming days.
Despite that, progress continues as we set our sights on the next release of 0.6.0 and the features it will bring.
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.
