Thrive is a game about the universe - we want to let you play however you want, make whatever you want, and live however you like. Thrive will be a free, open-source game created by an online community of dedicated volunteers. Our team seeks to accomplish two major goals: create engaging, compelling gameplay that respects our players' intelligence, and remain as accurate as possible in our depiction of known scientific theory.
Our latest video showcasing the current state of Thrive, and what is to come!

This is looking very good and promising.
Wow, this is looking really cool. I can't wait to see what's made next.
