IvyGM - New Programmer

Hi there everyone! My name is IvyGM (Ivy Olson), and I’m hopping on as a new programmer for Thrive. Currently, I am in the middle of a Game Design degree and a full time GameDev job, so my time is a bit stretched, but I felt like I could still provide some off and on help to clean up the codebase and improve the game! I have experience in C#, C++, Java, and a few drops of Python to tie it together! I’m at the beginner level of familiarity with Godot, but I hope to tackle a few minor issues to help me get settled quickly!

I have been following Thrive for a while and hope to make some minor improvements to improve the QoL on the game! I also have a personal passion for AI, and I hope to primarily focus on that as a way to improve both my own skills and the quality of the games AI and behavior systems!

I look forward to working with you all!
