Miscellaneous Bugs And Questions That Don't Deserve Their Own Thread Thread

I think we need more concept videos and short animation films to keep people interested in thrive,because every time I come on this site nothing is new!I know every one is working hard on Thrive I know how hard it is to make a game from scratch.But viewers and people come on to this site and see nothing but week old messages.So they think well it must be dead.I think we should add short videos on progress every now and then to show people thrive is not dead.There for atracting alot of people and more programmers art people and get the first stage of the game done faster.I dont mean this message to offend some body and if it did im sorry.

No, we are working, I just tend to lead the discussions these days and since recently I have been busy with school there has been little discussion. Just wait 2 days and I will start contributing again like before.

Also, we have made huge progress that cannot be captured in videos, such as the creation of the cell propulsion system, the programmers discussing the troubleshooting with cmake, and the recent introduction of the collision system for the cells. Thriving Cheese has also made several wonderful cell models that I will take the time to look at further and congratulate when, like I said before, I have the time.

No videos or films are necessary. Remember, patience is a virtue.

I understand but this is not about us this is about the people who think thrive is never going to happen. to show those people that all of you can actually do this.why not prove those people wrong?I do know I'm not that the most talented or smartest person like you game making people are and never will be fully accepted into your group but you should consider this at least this one idea I have.

Don't be hard on yourself, you're only a recent arrival. There is no need to create videos of something that doesn't exist for our fans, especially since this project will take a very long time to complete and such videos would mostly give false hope. Progress is being made, and if fans fail to see that then there isn't much more we can do. Remember, as we have said on these forums MANY times before, we aren't going to start becoming promotional until at least something playable is done.

I had an idea of the space stage. Not sure if someone came up with this already.



1.Robots: Built in the tech editor, can be used to harvest scan or colonize and stuff.


2.Ship Interior: Each spaceship part would have an interior, mabye editable, and the player could leave the cockpit and wander the ship and/or visit the cargo hold. Tech could have an impact on the ship too.

If this was already disscused, let me know. Also, if not, let me know what you think.

None of those ideas have been discussed directly, but they are pretty much accepted.

However, as space stage is soo far away, there is no reason to dicuss it any further. All effort should be done towards microbe stage.

i have an idea , its a evolution menu, so as you play you unlock parts right, so the idea is that when you unlock these parts u can upgrade them and later if you got two specific parts you can merge to get one part with properties of both. its like a tech tree but with parts

EXAMPLE

Spoiler:

I read the microbe stage sub-forum topic "coloration/pigmentation". I didn't want to necro it, so I'll just post here.

I read somewhere that we'll be able to customize the cell membrane color of our cell in the paint section of the microbe editor. Is this separate from cell pigmentation, or will cell membrane colors require their pigment to show? If so, the cell would have to engulf materials that have the pigment. I don't really know how it works, though.

Color has always been hard. The idea of eating things with that colour doesen't help too much, because with chemistry most substances change colour really easily whin combined, so the things you eat will be of a different colour when you digest them.

I would go for leting the player choose it's own colour, and asigning random "natural" colours for ai evolved species. Unless the cell gets energy from sunlight, color is quite trivial.

I THAT IDEA (Leaving the cokpit) THATS WHAT I ALWAYS WANTED TO DO IN SPORE BUT NEVER COULD

But I have a question (3 actualy)

1.Will you be able to leave the ship?

2.Will you be able to customize the spacesuit?

3.Will you have crew???

To be honest, we haven't got to that part yet, and probably wont for a long time - for now we need to focus on microbe stage. Things like this can be considered when we have the more fundamental stuff completed.

I would like to propose a idea for the Flag Ship creature...whne you guys are dne with the game we all play as one and grab screen shots and videos and we ut the best one on YouTube???

Wut ya say?

I don't even know what you just said.

I... think they're referring to using one creature to show off the game in promos. That would be Evobeast, which most of you younguns won't remember.

Two questions.

1. Is there a Thrive steam group?

2. For Doggit: Will there be a Aristocracy theme?

I dont think there is such a group, but why should it exist? What for?

I dont know why I asked, I was just wondering if there was one.

I haven't found a definite answer, so I'll just ask my questions, but:

The hopeful deadline for cell stage being in it's very first version by 2013 wasn't met, was it?

And how far is it though?

No, it wasn't met.

And you can check the progress so far at this thread. We are mostly setting up the base, so playable features will take some time to come out.

Ah, okay. Thanks.

You said to a man on another thread to propose these kinds of ideas on this thread -_-

I meant that we all play the game when its finished and the best evolving creature gets to be the flagship...

See,that's not a bad idea.

Yay finally someon likes one of my ideas!!!

I kind of feel like I'm not contributing bel**** to the project. Is there any way I can find a way to be useful, even though I'm skill-less for the most part? Or am I just a white moth on a black tree trunk?

Well, I'm not a leader of stuff around here or anything, I know everyone has a talent, and seeing as this game is about life, the universe and everything,( pun intended ) there's almost definitely something help with something. Good luck. Sciocont will probably be looking in here soon, so you won't have to wait. On that note, if anyone has a project they want to set me to work on, go ahead. I'm good at biology, making videos, writing and I would think of myself as creative. I'm horrible at art. Also, Doggit, I'll be getting of my chanter and onto some full-fledged bagpipes in probably a two weeks. ish. In case you needed anything like that. You know, maybe we should have an "out of work thread", for people looking for something to do. It would might get a lot of new joiners straight into the flow of things and helping, which would in turn mean more work done.
