Progress Update 3/21/2026
It's been another busy week in Thrive development. Release 1.0.1.1 went out on Monday as a (mostly) bugfix update. Included in that was a fix for Multicellular design conversion sometimes failing (leaving you stuck at a black screen). But there we...
Progress Update 3/14/2026

This was a busy week behind the scenes, but once again not as many patch notes on the list. A lot of work went into performance improvements for the compound cloud system, which had become slower after last week's fix to the “harsh lines” problem....
Progress Update 1/31/2026
A somewhat quieter week this time, as more technical work is taking place. The game was updated to Godot 4.6, as fortunately this version this did not cause unacceptable problems (4.5.1 was skipped). And perhaps most noticeably, an ancient bug was...
