Thrive is an open-source game about the evolution of life. Our main goals with thrive are to create engaging, compelling gameplay that respects our players’ intelligence, and remain as accurate as possible in our depiction of known scientific theory without compromising the former.

In Thrive, you take control of an organism on an alien planet, beginning with the Last Universal Common Ancestor (LUCA). Your goal is to survive in the environment, adapt your species by adding mutations, and thrive. Other species will emerge to compete with yours. They will evolve via a population dynamics driven simulation with random mutations - you must improve and spread your species to surpass them. The success of your species depends both on your skill in surviving as an individual cell and the changes you make in the editor.

In the Microbe Stage, you control a single microbe or a colony of microbes bound together. You swim through a watery environment to find the resources your cell needs to stay alive and to reproduce. Once you have reproduced, you enter the editor, where you can review how well your species and others are surviving, move to new biomes, and modify your species. Add new organelles, change your membrane, and change your cell's visuals. Your goal is to become a more complex lifeform by first evolving the nucleus to become a eukaryote, then using binding agents to form cell colonies, the precursor to the first multicellular lifeforms.

Thrive is currently in early access with the first stage, the Microbe Stage being complete and fully enjoyable. Our development focus has shifted to the further stages, but many of them are still only prototypes at this time.

The game is built in the open source Godot engine with the C# programming language. The source code is GPLv3 licensed and our assets are Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported licensed. We are always looking for more talented developers to join our team, or if you prefer, you can directly head on over to our Github page and contribute. Alternatively, you can purchase the game to support future development. We would also really appreciate it if you told others about the game and engaged with the community. Come hang out on our community forums or Discord to talk with other Thrive fans and developers.

Thrive has spent many years in development as a volunteer project. It's been a long journey for us to even reach as far as we have, but we think we now have a solid playable foundation. We are now offering Thrive in exchange for payment in the hopes is that the increased funding will help speed up the game's development into the future.

You can try the game for free from our website: https://revolutionarygamesstudio.com/ or get the source code and compile the game yourself.

We would love to have you along for the long ride!

Currently we are focusing development on the firstsecond stage which is about microbes and microbiology. Only the first stages of the game are currently playable, but even they are missing some features. Sulticellular, but still microbial organisms. The later stages, starting from the move to macroscopic scale, the rest of the game isare only included as tech demo level prototypes to show off our plans for the future stages and how they link together. For tThe microbial part of the game we have the core gameplay loop - surviving in the environment and editing your species in the editor - up and running with most of the planned features complete. Still there are many upcoming planned improvements to the microbe gameplay and user interfaces before we will switch development focus to the next stae stage is fully playable and complete, but will receive bug fixes and other smaller changes.

We have a long list of planned features and fixes for the currently implemented stages, as well as grand plans to introducturn the further stage prototypes into fully playable experiences with smooth transitions between them. These will span from the microbial tidepools to space-faring empires, ending with in the Ascension Stage unlocking full sandbox tools to mess with the game world. In the later stages, the game will transition to fully 3D environments, with 3rd person character controls. Beyond that, it will move to a strategic view with 4X features.

Roughly 1420 months at the current rate of progress. This estimate is based on the progress made in the past years on the first stage of the game. But this is a very uncertain estimate as development speed can vary wildly based on how many involved developers we have and if the upwards trend of development speed of the past years continues or even speeds up further.

Thrive has spent many years in development as a volunteer project. It's been a long journey for us to even reach as far as we have, but we think we now have a solid playable foundation of the first stages. We are offering Thrive on Steam to reach a wider audience in the hopes that we can finish the game much faster by offering the game on Steam in Early Access.

In the Microbe Stage, you control a single microbe or a colony of microbes bound together. You swim through a watery[h2]Create your own Species[/h2]
Use over 25 different parts to create your own unique species. Place mitochondria to power your cell, use chloroplasts to eat sunlight, or add a pilus to stab unsuspecting prey. Keep the membrane of your cells flexible to eat others in one bite, or add a tough cell wall to protect yourself. The choice is yours, as you evolve to survive.

[h2]Fight to Survive[/h2]
Travel through your environment to find, collecting the resources your cell needs to stay alurvive and to reproduce. Once you have reproduced, you enter the editor, where you can review how well your species and others are surviving, move to new biomes, and modify your species. Add new organelles, change your membrane, and change your cell's visuals. Your goal is to become a more complex lifeform by first evolving the nucleus to become a eukaryote, then using binding agents to fGather them from clouds and chunks, or steal them from other species and use every tool you gave yourself in the editor to prevent being eaten by someone else.

[h2]Evolution Simulation[/h2]
Watch as the other species of the world evolve alongside you. They adapt to become ever better at surviving. Whether that be by becoming stronger and more efficient in using their food sources, avoiding predation, orm cell colonies, the precursor to the first multicellular lifeforms.

[h2]Current key features:[/h2]

[list]
[*]Control an individual member of your species and survive the environment
[*]Predate on other species, use photosynsthesis or scavenge for resources
[*]Edit your species to make it more successful
[*]Compete with other species emerging on your planet via an evolution simulation
[*]Explore different biomes in procedurally generated maps
[*]Fight other cells with multiple cellular level weapons
[*]hoosing to become better at hunting you instead.

[h2]A Dynamic World[/h2]
Explore a world of different regions with varying environments. Choose to live anywhere from scalding hydrothermal vents in the deep sea, to freezing ice shelves on the surface. Even these environments themselves don’t stay the same; an asteroid impact or a global ice age might just ruin the day of photosynthesising bacteria.

[h2]A Variety of Playstyles[/h2]
Use one of many ways to survive and thrive. Try a different gameplay styles by specializing in different energy sources in subsequent playthroughs each playthrough, feeding yourself with photosynthesis, by turning poisonous hydrogen sulfide into sugar, burning chunks of iron, or even more exotic methods. Or, instead of making your own food, just eat everyone else.

[h2]And More[/h2]

[list]
[*]Learn about biology by using real compounds, organelles or parts inspired by real science
[*]Spread your species via the biome map
[*]Review and plan future actions by looking at population simulation results and graphs
[*]Use endosymbiosis to turn other species into a part of yourself
[*]Learn the basics of the game with a light, interactive tutorial
[*]Create experimental species in freebuild mode with removed editing limits

[h2]The Present And The Future[/h2]

In the [b]Microbe Stage[/b], which is the first and only complete stage of the game, you control a single microbe or a colony of microbes bound together. You swim through a watery environment to find the resources your cell needs to stay alive and to reproduce. Once you have reproduced, you enter the editor, where you can review how well your species and others are surviving, move to new biomes. And then modify your species: add new organelles, change your membrane, modify your cell's visuals, environmental tolerance and behaviour. Your goal is to become a more complex lifeform by first evolving the nucleus to become a eukaryote, then using binding agents to form cell colonies, the precursor to the first multicellular lifeforms.

The [b]Multicellular Stage[/b] adds the ability to place multiple cells and customize their types. Your species will still interact with other microbes in the familiar microbial environment, but with new abilities and size that allows taking over the microbial world. This stage of the game is quite developed but multicellular-specific gameplay is still somewhat limited. Even further stages are included with the game but they are mostly just prototype level examples to show off our future vision.
