well welcome back to the forums @Deathwake!
you certainly missed a lot! (at least, if you have been gone for a year or soโฆ)
thrive is very different now from what it was when you first played bout 3 years ago, i hope you enjoy the changes!
Why thank you! Yeah, and we have less kittygames. That was odd. I do love the changes, and this community. Nerds forever!

The truth isnโt always easy to accept. Sunlight may burn the eyes of someone whoโs been living in the darkness of a cave for too long.

I was watching a video about Spore and someone talked about it. I thought it looked too realistic and would be confusing to learn, so i dismissed. Then watching videos about what Spore couldโve been, i saw it again and decided to give it a shot. Now iโm super invested on it.

I searched for evolution games on google and found Thrive
Played Spore, quite a lot actually, but wanted something more in depth and I didnโt care for the space stage that would make up most of the gameplay. I was and still am much more interested in evolution and how technology progresses.
So finding Thrive was pretty simple, googled along the lines โgames like spore/evolution gamesโ and on youtube also, Thrive came up multiple times, so decided to check it out, found it to be interesting and bought it. I enjoyed and enjoy the gameplay, even if itโs the cell/prokaryotic stage.
I was looking around at evolution games after seeing things like Adapt and the Sapling.
I originally stumbled upon it because of an evo forum game here, but because the game was dead I left and then a few weeks later I rediscovered it while looking for a game that could do my xenobiology project for me lol (like I set parameters and it auto-evoed). Saw the forum games (especially Pandoraโs Horizon), and got hooked in.
offtopic
TBH I love the idea of and plans for thrive but it doesnโt seem to plan to go as non-LAWK as I would like. But thatโs a whole different topic.
I was originally introduced to thrive when I ran across a video a few years ago about someone playing the game, I didnโt really care much at the time and eventually forgot about it, then I ran across another video a few years later, about the same game, so, I looked into it, and found the thrive forums, so, I made an account, was active for a few weeks, and then forgot about it again, then, a few months ago, I remembered itโs existence and became extremely active, and eventually got the game.

How was oliveriver introduced to thrive?
I donโt remember exactly how I discovered the existence of thrive, but remember getting into spore prior, but I was born to late to experience the golden days of spore(2008-2014)and my dad happened to know what spore was, although he probably meant spore origins, which was on his old old iphone 4, which I played when I was really little, and had no idea what the heck this spore game was, but then I started to read dramatically better, and asked my dad, and he told me about spore, so I googled it up and fell down the spore/thrive/speculative biology hole. I watched videos of thrive, and although it was not finished, it was so sciency, and I love science(I read encyclopedias for fun, ever since I was 6) so I followed the game, forgot about it around update 4.3 ish, then rediscovered it at 5.1, and found out about the forums, and for a while, I sort of lurked, but then I joined, and I was impressed by how professional the forums were for a medium-small game(it is not small because famous youtubers play it).
