Progress Update

It appears my Patreon post with the newest game update is not showing. So I am including the link here for Major tier supporters to access it. I don't know if the link would work or not, but this is a temporary solution until I receive support from Patreon.

That said, Beta v0.73 has been released. There are way too many big and small changes to list everything, but the most impactful ones are:

• Explore is completely revamped. It’s now a roguelite gameplay mode consisting of a series of good/bad events that offer obstacles or tools.

• Bonding now requires TM (Thrive Marks), which must be earned through gameplay. (Bonding outside of the Secret Garden is not implemented yet.)

• A small amount of new content has been added: Thrive Desires, skills, and some events are now in. Items and crafting are not implemented yet.

• Some UI elements and feedback animations are not fully optimized/polished yet.

• The core structure and most mechanics are in place, so you shouldn’t get stuck. However, the experience is still incomplete. I’d honestly recommend waiting for the next version, as I suspect we’ll need at least one more update to implement the remaining mechanics and enough content to give a proper feel of the game.

The public version will resume once I feel there’s enough solid gameplay to enjoy.

Next version:
Monsters' moods
More functional events (prioritizing bonding outside of SG and maybe finding wild species)
More Thrive desires
More skills
Some items
Improvement of UI and feedback animation
