Please note this is an in-progress version.
For your convenience, I have attached two files; one is flash and the other is an exe. They have the same content.
I have separated up a feature called Diary. It is where you can view the stats of your possession and progress, as well as save/load. It is not fully developed. Right now pagination is being worked on, for when we have too many...

Just want to share the world map with you. Different Tentacle species will be located in different part of the world. But each will have its own habitat, such as jungle, swamp, cave etc. In a total of 61 species; 19 of the species are only discover-able through geometry, 28 species can only be created through breeding, and 14 species can be discovered by both methods.

Attaching the Alpha Draft v1.0. As most of the design of higher level gameplay and intro are only completed at the end of last month, many assets created afterward are not implemented. I won't be uploading this version to newgrounds, as there isn't enough to show for.
However, here is a list of features that are being worked on:

Thank you for all your supports and patience! Here is the Alpha v2.0 for your enjoyment. This version ends at where Lilith is being forbidden to return to her home. There are three species available in this version, though only one has sound now. No UI to display your monsters just yet unfortunately.
The progress of the Alpha has not met the expectation. Though I have started to pick up mo...
2017-12-10 20:33:48 +0000 UTC View PostA voice work is being edited currently. I am really happy with the final version of the work from our VA, who I think is extraordinarily talented. I will be introducing her when I release the Alpha in two days. Though I should have made more progress on all ends, especially on writing, UI design, and coding.
Nevertheless, I will release the Alpha v2.0 this weekend and keep on adding features or ...

Apologize for the slow updates. We have been and still focusing on the Alpha. I really would love to put in some voice for Lilith in this version. Currently asking for revision from an amazing VA. I am not looking for less from western VA than say our previous VA from Japan we had in Always a Good Business Deal.
I have spent quite some time on the intro by setting up a more linear experien...

The race had been pretty close between contender No.3 and contender No.4. But today I am going to announce the winner is: OSSA! Our newest ally!
The participation was phenomenal. Much more than anticipated. And thanks to your votes, this lucky fella is gonna get some action ;D

Not much to update this week. Just working on the alpha prototype. The above is the Tentacle Secret Garden, which includes the Queen's Nest, jungle, swamp, rocky mountain, mountain, iceland, volcano, great plain, desert and cave. All pack into a little place, though it could be a great thriving ground for the Tentacle race!
Other than that, I want to welcome our new Patrons and to remind them th...

Thank you for waiting patiently guys! Public version will be released on Friday, with some minor bug fixes on the Patreon version. Two of the remaining monsters will also have animation implemented, thanks to AEHentai for the magic work~
Stay tuned!
This month's monster list! Thank you Augustinas for the amazing creatures.
Please note that the next month's version will be skipped, as we need to catch up on all things for the Alpha Prototype.

As most of the design of higher level gameplay and intro are only completed at the end of last month, many assets created afterward are not implemented.

The Humana Kingdom is confined to a territory right next to a volcano, a place no other kingdoms want. But it is also the origin where Lilith gets to discover the weird creature calls, Tentacle Monster!

The world of Tentacles Thrive should be consisted of ice lands, deserts, jungles, plain fields, mountains, rocky mountains, volcano, swamps, rivers, lakes, caves, strange buildings etc. In order to create a piece with quality that matches everyone's work and style, an amazing Photoshop plugin is used along with a little post processing on the style to create the above background~ It is one of the ...

Inker, a tier 1, Intelligence class defense unit. Sly and slimy, a creature of defenses this one is. Preferring the warm and damp places of the world, it employs a number of ‘fluids’ in it’s defense. So sure in it’s safeguards is it, that it has adopted using itself as bait for both finding food and sexual partners. Sometimes even pretending to be wounded. Once lured in, the victim suddenl...

Finally a prototype I am less ashamed of to share with. AEHentai helped rush an animation for a new species, but the result is stunning! The remaining two species' animations will be done hopefully this coming week.
Many changes have been made, including some mechanics and difficulty level. Right now the difficulty is limited to 2 lanes, 2 monsters/lane, as a prototype should be somewhat e...

I am working and testing on the last effect, things are looking good! One last thing I would love to implement would be the remaining battle animations for three of the ally monsters, and I am asking AEHentai for help on it. If we couldn't get it done before the end of Sunday, then I will release the battle prototype first, as workdays progress can be unpredictable.
Stay tune!

Cirrus, a tier 4, Power class offense unit. Audacity personified is this species. To them, a mate is property to be marked and mounted. During their vigorous copulation, they will strike at their mates with vine-like appendages, leaving welts for all the world to see. They are also not averse to choking, though purely to assert their dominance and not to kill. While they do not care much for their...

Next waves of ally and enemy to UI,
9 default species for playing.
Without knowing the combo though, you can't really spawn allies smoothly. I will work on an in...

I truly have enjoyed getting to develop Tentacles Thrive. Bringing the project to live after years of designing feels just so rewarding! Years ago I wouldn't dare to dream of making this scale of a game. So thank you for your support.
The battle prototype is not as completed as I wanted. I underestimated the amount of tasks. For now the puzzle doesn't spawn ally monsters yet, instead they are ha...
2017-09-16 23:07:57 +0000 UTC View PostJust want to let you guys know the battle prototype is back on track. I am going to integrate the puzzle mechanics into it. The rest are some more testing and tweaking. Looking to releasing it this weekend, no matter the status.
2017-09-13 16:05:00 +0000 UTC View PostI have an unfortunate news to tell you guys. Due to an event, I am not able to release the battle prototype this weekend even if I try my hardest. It was my own fault (also Microsoft). I will share the whole story with you after I release the battle prototype, which will require 4~5 extra days.
Sorry to disappoint you guys. We will continue to make graphical and animation updates still. 2017-09-07 15:47:25 +0000 UTC View Post
