Devblog #1: No, We're Not Dead
Greetings, Thrive followers. This is the first in a new set of official devblogs on the Revolutionary Games website – if all goes to plan, new devblogs should be posted here about once a month, covering everything that’s been going on behind the scenes in Thrive’s development.
This initial devblog covers: where we’ve been and why you haven’t heard from us, our new forum structure, the complete plan for the Microbe Stage, musings on AI, and making cells look more like cells and less l…

After an amazingly useful 2-week prerelease, version 0.2.4 has been released, and there was much rejoicing!

With the introduction of a newfangled website, it's an appropriate time to take stock on the status of music within the game, as future posts from the sound side of development are likely to be updates, presenting the new with assumed knowledge of the old. As you might well have guessed from the prominent figure in my profile picture, I'm heavily involved in all things audio, and as such will be, for the foreseeable future at least, the sound team's link to the outside world.

While we don't feel that 0.2.4 is quite ready for release, we thought that a development update was at least in order for now!
As you may notice this is the new website that we will be migrating to in the near future! The old one had some permission issues and was difficult to work with, so we're moving here! (Note that the forums will still be used the same)
The next update 0.2.4 will feature a completely…
