It makes me happy whenever I see Thrive anywhere because it really deserves more attention.
-
Would be good to see it Thrive

It's also on Steam (Early Access) with Very Positive rating (92 %).
-
We even got Spore 2 before GTA 6.
-
Still early in development, only the single- and multi-cell stages are implemented.
-
-
So - Spore?
-
From their FAQ:
Wait, isn’t that just Spore?
While Thrive was originally widely inspired by Spore’s intended concept, we aim to portray a creature’s evolution in a fun and interesting way while remaining scientifically accurate. Evolution will play out on not just your own creature, but those around you, each competing to survive within the simulated environment.

Just tried it - seems a lot more involved than Spore. Very cool!

80%+ C# though.
Welp
I can't help-
C# is super easy though. If you've done C++ it's about 100x easier than C++ game programming, or really any traditional game programming.
Unity3D is even more complicated than Godot from an engine standpoint using C#.
But Godot is truly open source, and I understand why they used it.
edit: to correct Gadot to Godot

Yikes

Is it actually about evolution, or another Intelligent Design simulator?
-
I guess both? You do hand-of-god design your own life form iteratively over generations, but other microorganisms evolve randomly and branch and die off all over the place (and your own species will branch off into other ones that randomly evolve too - you might be making a meal out of your cousins in a couple generations).
