Thrive 0.4.2

This is a less polished release than the previous one, but we wanted to get something out there as this release is already overdue by months.
We changed our graphics engine so there will be likely many issues regarding that. If you get crashes please send us crash reports. There's one especially rare crash that usually happens when entering the editor after playing for an hour.

Installation

For easiest installation, download the latest version of the launcher:

Thrive system requirements

Windows: Windows 7 or Windows 10. Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable is required. Intel integrated graphics have issues. Hopefully bs::framework can add support for wider range of intel hardware.
Linux: glibc 2.28 (you can recompile the game with older glibc). Recent graphics drivers. Nouveau drivers for Nvidia may not work (untested)
