Hello! My name is Kaleb, I also go by GlassDev. I am an indie game developer with experience in programming, graphics, and design! I plan on bringing my knowledge in Ecology and other aspects of Environmental Science to Thrive to bring a deeper more accurate experience to players in the future! Glad to be here!

Welcome. Good to have experienced game developers on the team, with finished games under their belt.  
I didn’t set you a primary group yet, as your primary team could reasonable be one of: programming, game design, theory, (graphics). Which of those would you like?

Also it’s mandatory for me to give new people the link to the setup instructions: [https://github.com/Revolutionary-Games/Thrive/blob/master/doc/setup\_instructions.md](https://github.com/Revolutionary-Games/Thrive/blob/master/doc/setup_instructions.md)

I think my primary role would be a theorist. Accuracy counts right?

Sure. We are bottlenecked on programming work, as we have been for a long time now. So I hope you would consider helping out with that.  
Accuracy counts as long as you can still have a fun playing experience.

Yeah I wouldn’t have a problem working as a programmer also! If it’s best for the team, I would be more than happy to.

> This document is to provide an overview of the theoretical framework for the different parts of the game as based on modern scientific insights, taking both scientific accuracy and artistic liberty into account. This will be restricted to the...
