Thrive is a free, open-source evolution simulation game developed by Revolutionary Games in C# on the Godot engine, where players guide a species from microbes to spacefaring civilization. This repository contains the game's source code, assets, simulation parameters, and development documentation.

Use cases

• play an open-source evolution game about guiding life from microbes to space
• contribute code or art to a volunteer game development project
• explore a scientifically grounded evolution and ecosystem simulation
• translate the game into another language
• build the game from source with Godot and Git LFS
• tweak simulation parameters via JSON to experiment with game balance

When to choose

• you want a free, open-source alternative to Spore focused on scientific accuracy
• you want to contribute to or study a large Godot/C# game codebase
• you enjoy early-access sandbox evolution and strategy games

When to avoid

• you expect a polished, feature-complete game - only the first two stages are playable
• you need a small or lightweight project - this is a massive multi-year undertaking
• you want a game with guaranteed long-term support from a commercial studio
