Thrive: Progress Update 1/03/2026

From Thrive: link to original post

Welcome everyone to the first Progress Update of 2026! Speaking of which, Thrive is currently still on the Steam winter sale. Our lead programmer has not yet returned from vacation, so just like last week there has not been as much progress.

Volunteers have also been less active on our Github this week. Work is still going on for some of the pull requests mentioned last week. In new material, bigger snowflakes are being added to ice patches. Meanwhile, on the developer forums, we had discussions on funding an outreach.

You can find the full list below, and otherwise see you next week!

Programming

• Work on pull requests not yet added into the game (since these are in progress, they may also never be):
  • Added a Debug Console that mirrors Godot's Output log..
  • Fix a slight desync issue with water currents.

Graphics

• Continued planning for a community contest for loading screen art.

Gameplay

• Work on pull requests not yet added into the game (since these are in progress, they may also never be):
