Comment on Thrive: An open-source evolution game inspired by Spore
Mirodir@discuss.tchncs.de 5 months agoPeople mention Spore because the official FAQ mentions Spore.
Thrive is never gonna be “from puddle to space adventures”-type of game.
People also mention spore because this is exactly what the devs are envisioning. To quote the FAQ:
Gameplay is split into seven stages – Microbe, Multicellular, Aware, Awakening, Society, Industrial and Space.

After watching open source game scene for decades, I’m quite sure Thrive will end up being a good game in “puddle” level, but it will never be more than that.

You’re correct. Thrive has been where it is now for like a decade.

I totally agree with you. I was just clearing up why people bring up Spore beyond just the first stage being similar.
