I’ve hit some hurdles balancing the new gameplay, and it’s just not quite ready yet. We’ve decided to commit to a launch at the end of May, regardless of its state at that time. Right now, we’re still focusing on refining 'bad events' (like enemies and natural disasters), general balancing, and UI/U

We were hoping to release something this month, but there is still work to do before a proper release. Designing and bug fixing took longer than expected, but the video above shows our progress from two weeks ago. The core gameplay involves 'goodies' and 'bad things'. Some are free, while others hav

We're currently working on monster mood effects as part of the secondary gameplay loop. I'm trying to simplify the concept and break it into bite sized pieces, as I've learned that complexity is the enemy of fun. We are trying our best to release a build by the end of the month. It won't be fun yet,

My apologies, it's unlikely that we'll be able to push out a meaningful update by the end of the month. The holiday season coming up has some minor impact, but mainly there are more things to fix, improve, and balance in this new approach than we expected. We need some real content to fill the frame

It appears my Patreon post with the newest game update is not showing. So I am including the link here for Major tier supporters to access it. I don't know if the link would work or not, but this is a temporary solution until I receive support from Patreon. https://www.patreon.com/posts/patreon-thri

After numerous play testing, I feel it's getting close. I like the flow and experience. But the gameplay still feels a bit too complex. We are trying to simplify it. Essentially, it’s like a game of 10 pots with 9 lids—featuring roguelite-style gameplay. The length and success of the journey depend

Sorry for the long absence. You guys are too loyal. We’ve been testing various gameplay elements, and we believe it’s best to share our current progress through video. Please bear with the messy UI, as we’re experimenting with different features. That said, I felt the previous slot machine-like appr

I am releasing Beta v0.5 for Patreon today. This version is not a complete gameplay experience; it is merely a showcase of the new direction for our feature, Explore. Feel free to skip it if you'd like. Main Changes: Removed the previous Slay the Spire node map and its related mechanics Implemented

An update is coming in a few days. We can't paint the whole picture of this pivot, even though we have tried. There are still a few more things needed to make it a proper playing experience. The update after this should give it a clearer picture. Nevertheless, I am releasing something soon.

Deadline is missed. We are getting closed but, there are few more things to do before it should be released. Otherwise we would get stuck during explore and not able to return to the Secret Garden. Temporary estimating two more weeks. Tentacles Thrive new explore feature (YouTube)

Thank you all for your patience! However, we need a bit more time to finalize the newest pivot. In the upcoming version, we will only include one temporary exploration event, as the scope is quite large. I am taking a systematic approach to designing these events to ensure a smooth and enjoyable exp

As mentioned in a previous post, we are reverting to the original gameplay, plus something new and simple. We will explore through a slot machine mechanic. Once clicked, it will trigger an exploration event tied to the hexagon you land on. These exploration events can range from good to bad, common

Uploading Beta version 0.4 for our Patreon today. This version introduces the Status mechanic, though without UI indicators, as I feel there's no need to refine this design further. I need to announce that, after playtesting, we will be reverting to the original gameplay design (pre-Slay the Spire n

Thank you for your patience and continued support! Here's what we've been working on: Status System We're currently implementing a feature called Status. Status effects are monsters' conditions that we can acquire through battles and bonding. Examples include Injury, Bravery, Deceptive, and Rage—eac

Deadline was missed^^ But we haven’t been slacking during this time. Since our last vote, we’ve been working hard to bring our vision to life. There have been some back-and-forth discussions—debating within the team, consulting outside experts, and exploring ways to preserve elements of our previous

After hundreds of designs, iterations and rejections over the years, it comes down to the below two approaches for our outside of battle gameplay. I would love your opinions through your votes for design1 or design2. Vote with your intuition! Design1 Design2 https://streamable.com/k9dgha?src=player-

Protoyping simple gameplay for outside the battle. Attaching a video showcasing the feature where we would have a quest like system for us to earn different types of desires(energies) to unlock bonding scenes (ignore the temporary graphics). The idea behind is a give and take system where both lilit

One last post before release! Here is a rare safe for work wallpaper that helps remind us the emotions and challenges of our wild adventure~ Important announcement It has been long since our last update of the game. I can't believe so many are still having faith in me T_T As a result, we are alive.

Thank you for all your patience! Currently we are testing one last round before the release of our first Unity build (Beta v1.0). Not all of the features made it to this build of course, as well as it being not quite optimal on UI/UX. But I am releasing it nevertheless by the end of the month! Here

In preparation for our launch of Tentacles Thrive - Unity build in the coming month, here is a wallpaper for all to enjoy!

I am finally in a position where I'm confident to share that progress has been good and stable. Not only are we rebuilding a game from scratch, we are working on making every single feature of the game a better version of the previous ones. I really appreciate how patient you have been and I want to
