It is still in active development and later stages aren’t fully fleshed out yet but the early stages can still provide a few hours of fun.
Bought this year ago to support the project.
I don’t know why people mention spore. It only has some similarities with its first stage. Thrive is never gonna be “from puddle to space adventures”-type of game.
People mention Spore because the official FAQ mentions Spore.
