So - Spore?

[-] Kissaki@programming.dev 18 points 10 months ago

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.

This line makes me wary of WB

Whats WB?

Warner Bros have a gameplay mechanic patent which has pretty vague wordings.

And although this game doesn't seem like it'd turn out similar to any of the games they made under that patent, I would expect them to try harassment.

Warner Bros? Whining Bimbo? No idea...

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