Progress Update 7/11/2026
Hello and welcome to another Thrive summer break Progress Update! As our lead programmer is on vacation, we will be providing you with weekly updates on volunteer programming contributions, and things that happen outside of programming.
In the background, there is still some work happening on Multicellular Auto-Evo and membrane stretching, but not really anything we can show off just yet.
What we can tell you is that one of our members has been working on a partial redesign of our Space Stage prototype, and you can see one sign of that in the updated space station model later in this post. The objective is for the prototype to better reflect our current vision for the stage.
Meanwhile, the Development Forums saw continued discussion on Multicellular Editor mechanics.
Look below for some additional details and we'll see you next week for another vacation Progress Update!
