Overview
Tentacles Thrive is a 2D adult SLG for players who like monster-girl fantasy worlds with a mix of strategy and light romance. It plays quick and stays light on its feet rather than aiming for epic scope.
Story
The setting centers on discovering tentacle species and pursuing Lilith while working to revive the struggling Humana race. Alongside the romantic thread runs a larger goal of expansion, as the player looks to grow influence and eventually bring the world under control.
Gameplay
Play splits between real-time battles and management systems, with exploration now built around a roguelite structure of good and bad events that hand out obstacles or useful tools along the way. Bonding with characters ties into an earned resource system, and mating mechanics let the player combine species to produce new ones while rebuilding the Humana population. Skills and situational events add texture to runs without changing the core loop of exploring, fighting, and managing relationships.
Features
- Real-time combat paired with SLG-style base and population management
- Roguelite exploration built from branching good/bad events
- Species breeding system tied to reviving the Humana race
- 2D animated art with monster-girl and tentacle designs throughout
Notes
This is an early, very short prototype — content ends once the current build's final point is reached.
Installation
1- Extract to desired location. 2- Click on "Tentacles Thrive Alpha(version).exe" to start playing.
Changelog
v0.89
- N/A
v0.73
- Explore is completely revamped. It's now a roguelite gameplay mode consisting of a series of good/bad events that offer obstacles or tools. Bonding now requires TM (Thrive Marks), which must be earned through gameplay. (Bonding outside of the Secret Garden is not implemented yet)
- A small amount of new content has been added: Thrive Desires, skills, and some events are now in. Items and crafting are not implemented yet.
- Ul elements and feedback animations are not fully optimized/polished yet.
- The core structure and most mechanics are in place, so you shouldn't get stuck. However, the experience is still incomplete. I'd honestly recommend waiting for the next version, as I suspect we'll need at least one more update to implement the remaining mechanics and enough content to give a proper feel of the game.
- Explore with a monster to gather resources, skins, and maybe new allies.
- Keep morale up during the adventure by balancing battle strength, Lilith's state, the monster's status, and resources.
- Various bug fixes
- Morale stat and loss mechanics (during exploration)
- Improved exploration mechanics, where edge hexagons offer options to travel to nearby territories
- Initial Thrive Desires to earn extra Thrive Marks (for unlocking content) (see attached pictures)
- Additional exploration events
- Item system
- New battle flow
- Improved UI and UX
- Adjusted bonding unlock system, which now requires varying amounts of Thrive Marks (TM)
- Many exploration event graphics
- v0.5.0 Beta Patreon
Main Changes:
- Removed the previous Slay the Spire node map and its related mechanics
- Implemented all-new animated map backgrounds with terrains for each tiny hexagon
- Introduced the new Explore framework for future exploration events (content not yet included)
- I won’t be releasing the previous version (Beta v0.4) to the public, as it might confuse players who don’t follow our updates closely.
