Thrive VS Stride Game Engine

For Spore, there is Thrive, an attempt at an open-source replacement: https://revolutionarygamesstudio.com/

Yes, it is a known issue: https://github.com/Revolutionary-Games/Thrive/issues/4156

Going to look into that, thanks. I've tried Thrive which I guess is more game orientated.

Try here: https://github.com/Revolutionary-Games/Thrive/releases/tag/v0.6.2

Thrive is another spore inspired game... but expect a long development time. The steam version supports development but I think there is a free version on their website.

The video you posted shows this issue: https://github.com/Revolutionary-Games/Thrive/issues/3197 In fact I refer to that exact video in the issue when describing what seems likely to be the problem.

The later stages are included as prototypes. This is a known issue in the game incorrectly calculating the compounds needed to reproduce and as such the bars don't match with what actually happens: https://github.com/Revolutionary-Games/Thrive/issues/3908

Well, welcome here :) The game is free if you want to go to our github :) https://github.com/Revolutionary-Games/Thrive

In general it took me less time to rewrite the code-base then implementing some of the workarounds for missing features in Unity (e.g. HTTP2) in the first place.

I don't know where you have all these GC problems. There must be a problem with your design. I run real time automation stuff in C#, GC doesn't caused any problem yet. Stride3D docs says, that's if you put a lot of big objects in the heap without reusing them, you will hit big GC pause: https://github.com/stride3d/stride/wiki/On-Garbage-Collection But most of the time it's trivial to reuses those.

This could be set as a prominent link somewhere, it is the official stride forums: https://github.com/stride3d/stride/discussions

If you like to develop in C#, the free and open-source game engine Stride is a good alternative. But it really depends on your needs and skill level: https://github.com/stride3d/stride

This is pretty weird.

Then again, in regards to the engine itself dying, I feel like this is inevitable for many of the projects out there. For example, there was the Xenko engine which was later renamed to Stride: https://www.stride3d.net/

It's actually a nice project, has lots of great features and feels like it should be a more open alternative to Unity, whilst being similarly easy to use. However, compare the attention it is getting in comparison to something like Godot:
