Quick Question Thread

Hhyyrylainen said a long time ago that it should take around 2 years per a stage after the microbe stage.

[hhyyrylainen]

It entirely depends on how much content per stage we need to add, and how many volunteers we have joining the team to help out with the game programming. Right now I feel like 2 years is very optimistic prediction unless we make the stages really bare bones just so that we can have a mostly filled out and playable game. Though as the multicellular stage occasionally gets work done on it, that’s probably realistic to complete within 2 years after the microbe stage.

As I understand it, thrive will be finished in ±10 years (unless, of course, the pace of development changes)

[hhyyrylainen]

The - cannot apply in your estimation because the game is not done yet. Something like 20 ±10 years might be a reasonable estimation. Though that estimation relies on the fact that we can afford at least one fulltime developer working on the game. Which is currently not the case unless we get more Steam sales or Patrons.

How does one see their position (x, y) in the game world?

[hhyyrylainen]

By opening the inspector panel found in the debug display menu, which is CTRL+F3 if I remember right).

What instrument(s) does the main “deeeeeer-neeeer-reeeeeerhaaa” in the main theme? (Or is it a computer generated sound?)

[blackjacksike (Weird FNAF cat)]

It probably is the latter.

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

When does that sound even play in the main theme?

[StrategyGameR (Your friendly neighborhood menace to society.)]

Thrive Main Theme v7

(I think this might be outdated but… )At about 2:30 it starts

[C009 (Least favourite developer)]

Isn’t it strings (violin, cello or something else)?

[StrategyGameR (Your friendly neighborhood menace to society.)]

That’s what I thought at first but it seems just a bit different from what I’ve heard, but sounds can be different.

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

Eh, I am pretty certain that this is a violin sound, or something very similar.

[Computed (serial belgiumposter)]

bro the main theme is 8 minutes long??? I always thought it was like two minutes

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

These two minutes are mostly used in trailers. That’s why you wouldn’t know that the total lenght of the theme is 8 minutes.

[hhyyrylainen]

Most of our recent trailers don’t use our primary theme, but rather a specific trailer music.

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

Oh wait, for some reason I thought that this trailer music was simply a fragment of the main theme.

Strangely enough 0.6.2 had a different trailer music, but that might have to do with it introducing new prototypes.

The first question is: how will the body’s thermoregulation work at macroscopic stages?

The second question is: what types of food will there be at the macroscopic stages and how will they be determined?

@domin2ktr

The first question is: how will the body’s thermoregulation work at macroscopic stages?

My best guess is that the game will calculate the volume of a creature and multiply it by some factor of heat production / volume. Then this heat could be dissapicated by the surface area of the creature. The "basic"balance may then be affected by the features of the creature’s skin, aswell as metabolism.
