Progress Update: 07/06/19
There is a lot of work and development that goes unseen by most, until it gets added in an update. This causes thrive to seem dead at times as progress moves forward behind the scenes.
We have decided to do a simple progress update to let you know what is being worked on recently.
These updates will come out at the end of each week (or every other week, we haven't decided yet). They will be brief summaries, and if you have questions or comments join in on one of our social media channels.
(EDIT: Hi, Oliveriver checking in to say these won't replace the Devblogs as those will now be reserved for more in-depth posts and release announcements. This post has also gone through a number of formatting revisions, so please let us know if this works. We hope this initiative, spearheaded by lavathor, will help keep you all more informed of Thrive's current state.)
