My regular status seems to have gotten removed now after basically almost a year of forgetting the forums exist
Honestly itās kind of mind-boggling to me now how active I used to be when now I basically just rise from the grave every two or so odd months to post one piece of art

It seems to be a constant. Someone with artistic skills arrives on the forums and has an unkillable posting spree for months and then disappear & reappear from time to time.
So far, this is the case of RoboRomb & you.
I was playing Cyberpunk 2077 yesterday. My only complaints :
- Performance. The Recommended Requirements for the GPU says that it should be a GTX 1660 Super. Mine is a GTX 1660. Yet, I canāt go further than 50 FPS on Low settings. DAMN!
- The game always feels so intense that I never what Iām picking up or looting. Even when everything is calm, I feel under stress and donāt bother much about what Iām looting. When I do, the name of the item doesnāt even ring a bell in my head.
Also, about the Steam release of Thrive, I was surprised to see that itās 5.69$CDN, but I guess thatās the conversion, eh. Thereās also the provincial tax, but thatās only a thing in the Quebec province (I think?).

Here were my questions and their answersā¦
Question 1: On a scale of 1 (highest) to 10 (lowest), what is your priorityā¦
- ā¦to program stage prototypes?
- What are the other priorities? How important are they (use the scale mentioned above)?
Answer 1:
[hhyyrylainen]
- Fix Launching Issues on Steam
- Mod Loader
- Patch release
- Crash Reporting feature
- Chemoreceptor feature
- Early Multicellular
- Stage Prototypes
[Maxonovien]
- Improve Quality & Performance
- āEtchingā the world
- Evolution of compounds
- Day/Night Cycle
Also, fix the auto-evo and spawn systems.
Question 2: Also, do you think Thrive will win a Steam Award when it leaves Early Access status?
If it is ever finishedā¦
ā¦and if humanity/Earth isnāt dead by then.
Answer 2: Perhaps it will win an award when it leaves Early Access. Hopefully, it could at least win the āLabor of Loveā award.
Note 2: āLabor of Loveā can be won for any game of any year.
Question 3: Is there any concept art of Steam goodies (Special profiles, cards, profile backgrounds, emoticons, animated emoticons, stickers, etc.)? Any suggestion?
Answer 3: The game apparently needs more players before those can made.
When do you think a Steam workshop could be added to the Steam release?
Update: So it already has a workshop!
Question 4: In how much time do you think the Thrive GitHub will get to the size limit?
Answer 4: The max GitHub repo size ranges from 1 GB to 5 GB. When it exceeds this limit, Thrive will need an alternative to GitHub.
Random question that wasnāt in OP: @hhyyrylainen, what do you think about Windows 11?
The music notes are bit out of context, though.
I donāt particularly like that they seem to be ruining the mouse and keyboard desktop experience in favour of being tablet friendly. And the fact that they promised 10 would be the last version.
Anyway I broke Windows install on my main computer, and the windows installer is pure garbage and it doesnāt manage to reinstall it, so Iām not very concerned about it. Iāll keep using my laptop with Windows 10 (and it says Windows 11 is not supported on the CPU) as long as it works for Thrive Windows builds.
150 months = 12.5 years. Not bad. Not bad at all. But it all depends on what happens in the political world.
How so? Unless there is an international crisis, i dont expect much to change
Climate change, dude. Climate change is threatening our very existence, yet those oil & gas companies donāt seem to understand that their current profit is short lived if they donāt regulate their activities. That also includes Republicans (USA) and the Chinese government.
I was about to say that climate change wasnt political, but then i thought about it for 0.01 seconds and realized it totally is.
Congrats on another update, even though iām not active here anymore iām still checking every new update.

It wasnāt supposed to be political, but eh, Americansā¦
As an American, BELGIUMING AMERICANs goshdarnit.
Well, itās not all Americans, of course. Just pretty much half of them.
The vocal half, sadly.
All sides are vocal in America. Its a race to who can become the most extreme the fastest.
We should maybe stop talking about politics before we are all banned

Normally, it should work. Apparently, it is possible to create classes within a module, but I simply wasnāt able to implement any module at all. Also, sorry for one the strings; I just couldnāt find anything original. I was desperately trying to create classes as separate files if youāre wondering.
I recently saw some experienced game programmers recommend to beginners to learn to program first, and only then work on game programming. Iāve seen you post quite a few times these, to me (Iāve never made a gmod, mod), pretty simple examples of code that donāt seem to work in it, Iām kind of also thinking that maybe you could just start simpler. Perhaps install and fire up a new C# console project in visual studio and get some programming experience that way first.

It almost makes me want to put on hold (abandon) my project. Almost.
But I guess it would be very understandable and wise. Iāll think about it.
Anyway, itās not like I was ever going to finish it.
I guess I could continue my work on the text editor and the calculator or I could still try to make a physics & math engine since Iāve been learning classical mechanics these days.
