If released on Steam, would it still be charged to encourage the dev team or would the Software Freedom Organization be enough to help?

Because Iโ€™m really hyped for a Thrive Steam Workshop.

If Iโ€™m in charge of the steam release, Iโ€™ll make it a โ€œforced donationโ€.

The โ€œsoftware freedom organizationโ€ doesnโ€™t actually fund any development. They act as an entity handling the donations, but it is still up to us to get people to donate.

He will neโ€™er be forgotten. Maybe one of the old theorists could come back or become the theorist lead.

I prefer the old music.

I agree, but I still have the โ€˜unfinishedโ€™ version in my playlist instead of the finished version, so I am probably a bit biased.

I have to say, while I love the addition of cell walls, I canโ€™t help but wonder how useful theyโ€™ll be in the current auto-evo system.

Also, I feel like Thriveโ€™s patreon should be renamed to Hhyyrylainenโ€™s patreon for now, comparable to Untrustedlifeโ€™s old patreon, since currently thatโ€™s what the the Patreons will be paying. Of course Hhyyrylainen is the main dev right now, but that will (hopefully) not be permantent. Only when the non-profit is actually set up should it be renamed back to Thriveโ€™s.

That new design documents looks very good. Methanogenic microbes? Manganese metabolism? Yes please! I especially like the idea of a sulfurous world. Though my unemployment continues, once I have an income I will throw some shekels your way.

I thought about the options a lot and came to the conclusion that it made the most sense to make one saying โ€œhere, this is the patreon for thrive, letโ€™s see if we can get some moneyโ€ because the earlier attempt did not gain traction. If the patreon reaches enough money to cover the costs of registering a non-profit I will make it a priority thing to sort out. I will also try to be as transparent as possible on what the money is spent on.
