Huge congrats on one of the best games on the site and internet in its genre. Amazing voice actress as well.
Its dripping with high quality from visuals to sound design.
I know you get lots of requests and comments but I want ask if some things are possible to implement to make this my number one game of all time :)
Saw this suggested before but please show her with heels and the thigh band more often in the animations. Perhaps as someone said before; have her with a shoe on one foot and without on the other to satisfy both kinds of observer if having heels on all the time is also limiting; since its a preference thing. To not get too weird; you have created one of the most attractive protagonists (if not the most) for such a game/work of art and also decorated her in an amazing fashion with heels and that thigh band but we see less of them on her as time goes by and with each update. Her features/voice in combination with the heels and thigh band are what is truly unique about her and the game imho.
Do you have any plans for difficulty settings? As the game stands now its a very challenging and rewarding experience, but sometimes we may want to just be able to skip most of the gameplay of fighting, bonding etc. to just be able to discover new creatures and animations without stress. Kind of a story, no story mode perhaps or sandbox mode even game provided cheats. This is a very artistic choice so less of a request and more of a question of how you wish to design the game and what I talk about is within your vision :)
The only issues I face regularly while playing are minor but wanted to mention anyway:
The click and drag method of navigating the maps causes misc-licks very often especially when trying to find the correct map for bonding events, the click for dragging the map results in an unintended bonding event activation if the mouse happens to be on a map area when the left mouse button is released.
The information tooltip on creatures do not have info in my game such as preferred map area etc. and are just blank, this makes it hard to remember and see what creature prefers what area of the map for bonding.
With the above missing tooltip info and the misclick tendency while dragging the map around; the cost of bonding means flailing around the map getting misclicks trying to find the correct section of the map and the high cost of bonding means you only get two chances to attempt a bonding; many times I just fail twice, go rest and then fail twice again due to misclick or not remembering the map section many times in a sequence. Perhaps making bonding free would solve it since we have to rest for pregnancies and births anyway which prevents non-stop bonding.
I also lose saves often to cache and temp file cleaning. I am backing up the save each time and moving it again to the save folder to prevent it, however is it possible to implement an autosave feature or more importantly; a change of save location perhaps to the game files folder? This might be a flash limitation and out of your hands.
I acknowledge most of the inputs; more high heels, friendlier UI, missing info, difficulty and save/load. The only thing I don't think I can fix is the save/load problem, as things are complicated by lots of factors, especially so for web version. For download version, as most of you are aware that you have to move the new game file to the same directory that you saved the game, as well as changing the new file name to the version you saved. I have made an auto save function, but that won't address the problem we have, which is the lack of easy way to educate our users about the path to reuse old save, due to complication created by different OS, different format of the game(web/exe/swf), different websites that we use for web version as well.
probably because the next version could run completely differently so it might not be compatible? I'm not a huge nerd when it comes to these kinds of things but it doesn't seem very unlikely to me that the database will not carry over, if that makes sense.
**1. Web save/load uses browser cookies, which can get cleared. It is not hugely reliable, as well as not likely to be compatible with future web versions, unlike the downloadable files.
So if you downloaded it like me, we should be good. Though I am not entirely sure where the save is stored in the first place, to be honest.
Good evening Master NoNo, greetings from Argentina, first of all I wanted to congratulate you and your great group for all the effort and work involved in making Tentacles Thrive, I would like to know when version 4.09 will be released and if I could add a kind of new adventures like to be able to go to town, trade objects with villagers, etc.
Greeting! Thank you for trying it out. v4.09 is out for Patreons already. Public version is one version behind Patreon version basically. You are correct, I do have plan to enable trading objects with npc.
Hi, I would like to make a sugestion for a future version as well! To be able to skip bonding dialogue as that doesn't seem possible now (either that, or it doesn't show up on mine)
Aww, sorry web save is not hugely reliable due to uncontrollable environment, it is mostly for demo. I stated above to recommend people to use download versions: **1. Web save/load uses browser cookies, which can get cleared. It is not hugely reliable, as well as not likely to be compatible with future web versions, unlike the downloadable files.
Some of the creatures seem to be missing their lines and endings, sometimes even freezing the game. I can't quite remember which ones but Lambra is definitely one of them, Oh, and Octoseal.
Overall, so far this game is fucking amazing. I'm a huge sucker for tentacle porn and this game is an absolute godgift. Keep up the awesome updates, can't wait to see what comes next! It's amazing <3
hey the save button is really not working, its showing taks complete but when i open the game again, the load button just does nothing and i have to start all over again.
Hi, download for macOS is in .exe extension, which doesn't work on macOS. Is there some other download option for Mac or a tool to work with .exe files? Thanks in advance!
The game checks if the save exist, so if you see "Task Completed", the save should be there. The only thing I can think of is if the game file has been moved. The save correspond to the directory when you save the game. At least that's how it works on Windows.
Windows automatically flags files they don't recognize. Some have too little downloads. Or they did not pay microsoft their money yet for verification. Its just windows being very cautious at things it does not know. I have seen quite a few indie games get flagged.
Basically 1. Swap lane before battle start base on your judgement and matchup. 2. Feed them heart at any given time to activate useful monster's battle effect.
Fantastic renders and production. A fun game to play. The female protagonist game yes is my favorite (Tentacles Thrive) but it is very well done and keeps you engaged all the time ... If I had some cash to spend I would strongly support @Tentacles Thrive and hope he delivers more content to come
I don't know which OS or version you are using, as different environment has different path. But basically:
itch save location (Firefox): C:\Users\[user account name]\AppData\Roaming\Macromedia\Flash Player\#SharedObjects\[RANDOM LETTERS]\commondatastorage.googleapis.com\itchio\upload2\game\[RANDOM LETTERS]
Local save location: First narrow down the scope by going to this directory. **(See how to unhid AppData folder if you have it hidden: https://cybertext.wordpress.com/2012/05/29/cant-see-the-appdata-folder/) C:\Users\[Your User Name]\AppData\Roaming\Macromedia\Flash Player\#SharedObjects\[Random Number]\localhost
And then search with the save's name: TTv4_Save.sol
This path should simulate where you store your exe or swf. For example, if the exe or swf is placed on your Desktop, TTv4_Save.sol should be inside a folder call Desktop. Also exe and swf saves aren't compatible with each other.
A new update is great and I've been excited to see what is added.
Also, does anyone know how to access the Queen's Nest? I looked on the wiki but it says to mature Slime eye and nothing else about it. Help is appreciated.
I have an IMPORTANT question: I want to download tentacles thrive for Mac but yeah its not downloading its just a piece of paper with I have no use for pls help pls I need it I played it on browser (still playing but in incognito mode not on purpose ofc and yeah data won't save please I need someones help pls)
I am using the v4.07 and I see that if I place the game (.exe) too deep into pc the save wont work (the save directory where the save file located cant reach the location of game). So I place the game not too deep into pc (place at 'document' works for me: C>Users> (your pc name)> Documents. Hope you understand what im saying. So far this method works for me
so i was wondering how do i advance ? like all i've been able to do is go to the secret garden and bond with only 4 monsters in the garden and all i've been to discorver in the garden are 5 but the ones that could actually bond with were Butanga, Dubois, Moth and Slime eye and i couldn't bond with octoseal bc whenever im about to get the final scene for octoseal it freezes and goes to straight to "bonding" and skips all of the dialog and the end illustration and can't fully bond with octoseal and im aware that you can do battles and invade territories and bond with monsters outside of the secret garden but im not too sure how to do that either, pls help
To bond with monster outside secret garden you need to choose : bonding>'monster you want to bond with'> choose which area at secret garden the monster availble ( you need to test each area bcs each monster have their respective area). Example: bonding> scorpe> dessert (as I remember). Thats it you can bind with slingmantis
Is it safe? It requires Flash so I'm scared, that I can get malware. Can you assure me, that this doesn't happen when I download it? I don't say that the game contains it, but can some other thing get to it and make bad things? I hope not :D
you can get some items when you have conquered a land and you choose a tentacle monster who will train there. For example you can get some meat that can be given to tentacles who are hungry through bonding.

Maybe we can take advantage of Steam's auto version update in the future for the save/load matter.
You can go hunting and I think nursings while your pregnant. I normally do that so I don't loose any of my actions for the round
This should be tagged with tentacles.
please if possible have as a subtitle option in portuguese brazil?
why the saves are not saved for the next version?
probably because the next version could run completely differently so it might not be compatible? I'm not a huge nerd when it comes to these kinds of things but it doesn't seem very unlikely to me that the database will not carry over, if that makes sense.
o.O ty for the info
But Nono has said this:
**1. Web save/load uses browser cookies, which can get cleared. It is not hugely reliable, as well as not likely to be compatible with future web versions, unlike the downloadable files.

something wrong with killer corn bonding fix it pls
Yes, I am able to recreate the problem. Thank you, fixing it now.
Hey I Want To Play In The Website But Save Dont Work Why I Lost My Progres
Aww, sorry web save is not hugely reliable due to uncontrollable environment, it is mostly for demo. I stated above to recommend people to use download versions:
**1. Web save/load uses browser cookies, which can get cleared. It is not hugely reliable, as well as not likely to be compatible with future web versions, unlike the downloadable files.
bond them and click use item
btw i want ask what kind of tentcacle good for royal army?
Some of the creatures seem to be missing their lines and endings, sometimes even freezing the game. I can't quite remember which ones but Lambra is definitely one of them, Oh, and Octoseal.
Overall, so far this game is fucking amazing. I'm a huge sucker for tentacle porn and this game is an absolute godgift. Keep up the awesome updates, can't wait to see what comes next! It's amazing <3
Awww, thank you.
And thanks for the bug report, I will investigate.
i just tried the swf version as well , the save button doesnt work either
im using the exe version on windows
hey the save button is really not working, its showing taks complete but when i open the game again, the load button just does nothing and i have to start all over again.
Hi, download for macOS is in .exe extension, which doesn't work on macOS. Is there some other download option for Mac or a tool to work with .exe files? Thanks in advance!
Perhaps try the swf format instead.
Hi, I've got a problem the game don't want to save, if I click on the save button it's just doesn't work
Hmmm, I will need a bit more details, at least like:
OS:
Format(web/exe/swf):
Exe and Swf the message "task complete" dont show, If I restart the game I have no backup
The game checks if the save exist, so if you see "Task Completed", the save should be there. The only thing I can think of is if the game file has been moved. The save correspond to the directory when you save the game. At least that's how it works on Windows.
I played the previous version it's worked, and then i played on the 4_08 nothing work the current and previous version
If the message "Task Complete" not showing, there is something preventing it to save. It could be firewall, or disk full. Otherwise I am not sure.
are the file safe
Yes
but why my pc detect its like virus????
Hmmm, do other games you download also trigger your aniti virus?
no
Windows automatically flags files they don't recognize. Some have too little downloads. Or they did not pay microsoft their money yet for verification.
Its just windows being very cautious at things it does not know. I have seen quite a few indie games get flagged.
How does Tentacles Thrive combat work?
Basically
1. Swap lane before battle start base on your judgement and matchup.
2. Feed them heart at any given time to activate useful monster's battle effect.
thank you. :)
Fantastic renders and production. A fun game to play. The female protagonist game yes is my favorite (Tentacles Thrive) but it is very well done and keeps you engaged all the time ... If I had some cash to spend I would strongly support @Tentacles Thrive and hope he delivers more content to come
Aww, thank you for the kind words~
Hi, I have question. What does lv20- special bond do? How to access it?
Right now Lv20 offers nothing.
Do I have to feed my Monsters?
If yes how?
You can feed them through Bonding > Use Items. Using the right items could benefit sometimes.
Any plan to release android version....?
Possible, haven't yet explored Adobe Air yet, but it should be possible.
WOW!! i really love ur new monster design.. it's so cool!! i hope u will make some new species again.. :D
Hehe thank you noticing! It is a group effort though. We do tried to give newer species more attention as we only have a few species left we can do.
can someone explain in simple terms how to move my old save (v4.07) work for this version?
I don't know which OS or version you are using, as different environment has different path. But basically:

how can i make an army higher than 9? can't seem to get higher than 9 army cards and i get opponent as 12 to 14 cards
You can't currently. But I hear you, will focus on those.
A new update is great and I've been excited to see what is added.
Also, does anyone know how to access the Queen's Nest? I looked on the wiki but it says to mature Slime eye and nothing else about it. Help is appreciated.
take slime eye to lvl14
Finally, v4.08 thank you master nono
Hehe, thank you for waiting^O^
Can't wait for something resembling a half finished game, still a long way to go.
game doesn't make a save file, any fixes?
It does, try to put .exe file at the surface of your directory. not too deep . Such as put it at Desktop, Documents, Videos, Pictures,... etc
i cant choose a monster for hunting help like im clicking it but it wont work-
Hmmm, could it be a bug? You can report any bugs here:

How do I save my game progress?
In the game, go to the house at secret garden> diary> save
How to occupy territory?
After you capture so much, you just plain dont. Nothing will ever beat the monsters you get thrown against.
A really good game, but the save dosn't work for me... :/
I am using the v4.07 and I see that if I place the game (.exe) too deep into pc the save wont work (the save directory where the save file located cant reach the location of game). So I place the game not too deep into pc (place at 'document' works for me: C>Users> (your pc name)> Documents. Hope you understand what im saying. So far this method works for me
that mean i must put the .exe in document folder?
Yeah. It works for me.
other game like this too?
I cant assure about other game
so i was wondering how do i advance ? like all i've been able to do is go to the secret garden and bond with only 4 monsters in the garden and all i've been to discorver in the garden are 5 but the ones that could actually bond with were Butanga, Dubois, Moth and Slime eye and i couldn't bond with octoseal bc whenever im about to get the final scene for octoseal it freezes and goes to straight to "bonding" and skips all of the dialog and the end illustration and can't fully bond with octoseal and im aware that you can do battles and invade territories and bond with monsters outside of the secret garden but im not too sure how to do that either, pls help

yeah it's safe
very save
Is this real or in sarcastic way?
what are hearts used for? (not the the ones used in battle)
u mean hearts in the secret memory?? after u reach 5 hearts u will unlock gallery/photo
how do you get gold/items?
you can get some items when you have conquered a land and you choose a tentacle monster who will train there. For example you can get some meat that can be given to tentacles who are hungry through bonding.
