the multicellular stuff looks so cool, apparently they are planning to make is so you grow into having different types of tissues made up of different cells and then into organs and they want some sort of 3d builder. I really hope they see this through and it becomes what they envision it to be.

It is only a matter of time before we recreate the human body in this game.

I am all here for more exposure of this wonderful little project of a game. So nice to see this much gameplay after at least a decade of waiting for it.

The reason you got the weird tail is because the binding agent is in the front, so they can only attach to the back of the previous cell

On the note of how unreliable the cell placement is in the multicellular stage I’ve experienced similar issues and had a far more centralized cell, same with excessive lag spikes for no reason whatsoever Pretty sure it’s just bugs, the mode is pretty experimental. Love the video, have a good one!

I really hope this game gets fully completed, it looks absolutely awesome!

Cells do not share atp, only resources. So it would be better to add a lot of resource producing organelles to a cell so all of it's compounds are shared to other cells

Anyone else notice the "Become Aware" button in the brief moment of the macroscopic phase? They're really gonna redo the entirety of Spore, huh? I'm very curious to see where this goes.

I laughed way too hard at 4:00 when he said "This is gonna look like a certain cell" wheeze, I wasnt really expecting this but I appreciate humor.

Whenever I see this game or ones like it, I am always reminded of the flash game bubble tanks. Not a bad thing to be compared to, but I always want them to go further and other than graphically they rarely do. This one has a lot of potential so I'm hoping the full release will be impressive.

No way this is the final episode, i love every aspect of this game

in my game I made an organism that used heat for energy and small, spiky organisms that I called loootboxes for growth. eventually it had teeth for the purpose of cracking open lootboxes.

21:16 is no one going to mention the "Become Aware" button on the far right?

Im really impressed with the dev team, I remeber a month or two ago I saw this game, and I was like, this seems cool, but it feels like game play is limited and there isn't much replayabilty. But now there letting you go multicellural, with more stuff being added after? suddenly this game just got a bunch more value

Someone finally decided to make Spore better. I'm here for it.

enjoying thrive but i want to see who remembers milk for the corn flakes mainframes for the skull takers

Have always wanted a game like thrive, scientific spore or something along those lines, and watching you play teach me so much about cells and how to make it work, I learn as much from you when playing Stellaris, also very entertaining!

18:23. If your main cell dies you'll switch to other cells. Those cells may be whats left of other ones. They'll still regenerate the lost cells if this happens.

I can't wait for the full release of this game, it looks like it'll be effectively one of if not the best evolution game if it's prospects are fully realized!~~still waiting for more FTD though

Hey lathrix if you want to play a cool game do you think you could check out Rainworld, I think you would really like it. It is a ecosystem simulation and survival game in a unique setting with interesting animals

This game seems like it will be so incredibly cool when it's finished.

I can't begin to put in to words the happiness these video's bring me. And I write professionally!

Ah, I do love you seeing making actual animals.

I would love to see more of this when more has come out for sure!

LATHRIX!!!!!

As someone who has never seen this game, when you opened the editor and full sent on “chemosynthesizing proteins” without skipping a beat, I almost spit out my drink in surprise and awe

Just found your channel recently and I've been really enjoying your backlog of videos. Really reminds me of the old days of youtube.

Hey Lathrix! I have to say, watching the game develop is amazing, because we get to see what goes through the developers heads when they're making a game. I was also wondering if you were interested in doing a full play through of kingdoms and castles with the AI update. I know you made a video covering it when it came out and hinted at a potential series, I would love to see that, but i know the motivation for games comes and goes, well for me it does anyway. Anyway, hopefully this helps the algorithm a little too.

13:50 I guess that's how multicellular organisms started. They weren't "supposed to be there" and just stayed.

I have an idea, idk if this works because i havent played the game, what if you put a line of cells and the last cell could be a stem cell and the one behind it would be a very weak cell, the idea of it so you can reproduce without evolving like you could purposely kill the weak one and the stem could grow.

Love this game and its great to see you playing it! Also can't wait for you next campaign on from the depths!!!

Lathrix, you playing this game has singlehandedly lifted my spirit and remedied my sadness, thank you.

Love the video, great game. Keep it up!

"now this is gonna look like a certain type of cell which is... unfortunate" oh lathrix lol

One thing I'm hoping for when this game gets to later stages, whenever that happens, is that they allow players to take different routes on how you form a civilization. Imagine being instead of a bunch of individuals with sapience, being a more parasitic organism that uses others as hosts (Like The Flood does), or becoming different types of hiveminds that we've seen in science fiction, there is a lot of possibility available when you think about it

@1:20 me all on my own, collecting clouds....is indeed relaxing if you're catching the clouds with those lungs boi. Best way to watch these videos lmao!

Hearing you say that the hexagon are the bestagon made me happy 😁. Thank you!

cells don't share ATP but they do share glucose and other compounds, so the power house should make glucose instead, maybe the back cells should be able to create ATP so it can speed up

CGP grey reference detected, even more liking activated.

Bloody hell your intros are always so spot on :D

The multicellular stage is progressing good so far, but right now it is way too glitchy and tedious. Hope to see it improved in the future..

Thank you for covering new projects Lathland! thanks to you I found out about stellaris in the first place and now it's a game close to my heart. My next playthrough will be Dedicated to the this community. I'm thinking megacorp as I've never tried the empire type out since buying the DLC. 🙂

I honestly think thrive will be the most successful at being a spiritual successor to spore, having the single cell stage pretty fleshed out and the multicellular stage going strong, such a crazy cool game and i hope it *thrives* like it should haha

This is much closer to what I was envisioning for this game. Nice!

17:08 oh look, a shovel!

Man accidentally develops horseshoe crab, this truly proves that horseshoe crabs are the best species.

My favorite game that you played is gone for nearly 2 years now but i still love your videos (:

your intros in these videos are awesome =)

if you restart the game the lag goes away also, your cell's dimensions and thus the shape it takes is reliant on visable blocks and not surface blocks (you can keep stacking them and it won't effect your visual size) however they still exist and can be damaged, so you usually want to put something on the ends of your tail so you can actually see it. also also, when you become multicellular your cells no longer increase in size as you eat, which means if you come across a precursor cell that is close to splitting, then it will just straight up be able to eat you. you need to make your stem cell fast and able to eat so you can quickly grow your other cells, then i found making a specialized eater cell your next cell is the best. the eater needs to be massive, consider just adding cheap cytoplasm so you can make the cell large enough to eat your precursor species. Also also also, sometimes you need to go to a new patch to refresh the cells in an area, when you duplicate you stay in the same instance, and so if your other cells kill everything else and duplicate, eventually it will stop spawning other cells. just go to a new patch, go extinct in that patch and head back and you'll be fine.

Every time lathrix posts i Get a boost of dopamine throughout The day

i cant wait to see what mess you make when the macroscopic stage gets an update

If this game was self-running like the Bibites, with a great deal of natural selection and a random mutations, it would be the best evolution game ever!

Very good As far as i can find, youre the first to the macroscopic stage

As soon as i read Lathland - new Upload? My body was filled with hqppiness and warmth :)

this game is getting better every time i look at it

Masticatocyte .. Oralcyte (mouth cell) Enerocyte .. Powercyte (energy cell) Motorcyte (movement cell)

the Glucose discharge is from the ingested matter filling the Glucose bar.

Thank you for taking the game to it's absolute current maximum, so we can see metaballs and someday boop noses with God. Great job Lathrix!

IIRC, the reason you see lone non-core cells is because it was part of a multicellular creature whose core died. I'm nearly sure the rest split up when that happens

I suspect the reason that you ended up with that wierd tail is because the individual cells you built were long thin rods. Since the game at least tries to avoid overlapping them, the tail is the result. Keeping them more spherical may also help with avoiding the weird overlap issues.

had an idea for a stellaris run give your self the best empire you can make then sett all difficultys to the max number of civs early start scaling difficulty off then set the end game early try to secure the galaxy so that when the crisis arrives you can instantly crush it

Yo lathrix thrive is cool but airships: conquer the skies finally released the co-op update yesterday so now you can actually do diplomacy with other nations, you can create alliances and pacts and treaties and all this other fun stuff with the AI nations, it’s great and you should play it again I’d love to see it

Yay Lathrix thriving :D

True life sims have an unbelievable amount of potential. Only an indie studio can pull it off. They typically don’t have deadlines.

I wonder now whether farming is possible in this game, that is the sparing of certain cells so that they can reproduce, particularly plants

I can't wait for future updates, this is the kind of game I've wanted to play since I was a kid.

Ye for lathrix keep thriving

lathland makes any game look fun :D

It would be cool to see giant macroscopic single cells. Which do exist their is one species that i think is called the "eye of the sea" its just one giant cell with a ton of nuculi

I wonder if just having your first cell be more of the center cell (aka in your build a powerhouse cell)

I would love to see more of this game

Love the intro 😂

Id love to see just how big you could make a single cell!

Thrive is one of my favourite science related games

I am irritated how I never knew how to become multicellular. I always got to full and thought I was bugged because I couldn't evolve. Now I know why.

"Some day, this ball pit will be alive." Yes, yes it is a lovely thought, I think.

Thx for the video lad

Writing should go into this game; it would work by asking the user to "draw [object X]" when a new object is discovered, and the resulting drawing becomes the pictogram the literate species uses to represent object X. Verbs are prompted by "draw a representation of [verb Y]" or based on nouns. Such as a mouth for eating or biting, a fruit or a skull for nourishment, a hook for pulling, etcetera, so that results in "Associate [verb Y] with noun…" And adjectives pretty much ditto.

I really love this game man.

Ive always wanted a game like this, and finally it has come

Thermoplast be like: OH YOU HAVE HEAT? LETS FIX THAT *turns you into atp*

Can't wait to see what this game looks like when it's 100% completed

Lathrix, idk if you read comments on older vids, but airships got a new update

woah new update looks so frickin cool, they just need to work a bit on the graphics side to make the cells more combined

If this wasn't your last video of Thrive, I'd request you try going for the strongest engineering shape with the main stem and support orbs...

You greeting game is really strong with this series

This game looks fascinating, and I'm really looking forward to the macroscopic mode so I can make trilobites, but worse.

Wait... They added multicellular life?!

these cells are now trying to learn cannablism

From looking through the code, this is a Godot game and I'm happy to see this project with so much potential use my go-to game engine.

ITS ALIIIIIIVEEEEEE

This once again reminds me that someday thrive will be finished and amazing. I am waiting for that day

I hope you play this again soon!

Cool, I might contribute some code/features.

Spores cell stage

I really like this game, it's a really comfy game to play late at night with a cup of tea.

Yes, please more thrive!

hexagons ARE the bestagons

I suppose you basically start off as a colony of cells before becoming a full multicellular beast!

Looks fun
