Archipelagates
A downloadable game for Windows
Archipelagates
An early-access adult fantasy hack slash and loot game that takes place on islands full of dangers, treasures, and interactive characters.
[This game is currently in development in early-access]
Some aspects are temporary, partially implemented, broken, or missing.
Customize Yourself
Decide who you are with a robust character creator. Choose between the species that inhabit the floating archipelago, and build your look by layering as many patterns and colors as you need.
Find Loot
Gather resources to survive the more hostile islands. Gear up by defeating enemies and traveling to new islands to explore and find forgotten treasures.
Build Relationships
[Currently in development]
Meet and interact with characters on your travels. Sit and talk, or flirt and play. Some casual and sexual encounters are available now, with more on the way.
Next Steps
Patches come out every month, each with a focus on an aspect of the game that needs attention. Check the patch updates below for info on past patches!

What happens when the game is complete? Mod support perhaps?
i would love that
I want to try the game but I'm hesitant to get it. does the game ever go on sale? I get that it's only $15 but i don't trust the quality of nsfw games. if it were on steam i would have no issue but it sounds like that isn't being considered anymore. I don't know do you guys think is the amount of content in the game worth the price or should i come back to it later when i the game is more updated/when I figure out my money problems.
i would say wait till the next update comes out around feb 3ish, its relatively barebones in terms of differing content but with what it has for npc interaction its in a good place for now.
How do you know about the next update, is there a discord or something?
Updates have typically come out on the 3rd or 4th of each month.
theres def a gem here. you gotta give it time to cook. the dev slowed down a bit but only because they are putting in more effort into each update.
however, there hasn't been any news as to what the next update might have in stock.
who knows maybe there will be a sale for a one-year anniversary. not saying it will happen but the dev has been quietly cooking for the past few months.
Honestly one of the better nsfw games I've come across, maybe not totally worth $15 yet but not at all a regrettable purchase in my opinion. Development is also active which is a plus
It is definitely an interesting project, and so far from where the game was when I first bought it for Patch 0.2 to the latest patch is pretty good.
A lot of additions to character customisation, a lot of poses to unlock and try out, the beginnings of base building, a semblance of enemy variety and difficulty progression (Though still a piece of piss) and the addition of fluid mechanics.
It is still early days in this project, and still had a lot of ways to go before it could be considered an early access game if comparing it to projects on steam.
I personally have played it enough time to consider the purchase worthwhile. If money is an issue I would say keep an eye on it for a couple of patches before purchasing. Which maybe a few months.
But I would say that buying the game would definitely help this project move along faster. Especially as this is an actual game, with a recognisable intention and gameplay.
Can't wait for new updates
will there be any options for casual use of other characters without needing the back and forth emotes? i think some npc reactions could be great for that type of interactions like being indifferent or annoyed or even having responses be very receptive.
any idea when the next update will be
The next update may be on 3rd or 4th Febuary. Just depends on when Raliv has it ready.
Honestly what would be nice to see implemented are:
Defeated animated scenes
Island bosses (with subsequent rare loot/items/etc)
A story goal of some sort (maybe like figuring a way back home)
House/Island decoration or upgrading (for weapon and armor upgrading and possibly NPC hiring/housing if it's possible with the game engine)
Archipelagates has a solid frame work to be possibly an S tier game so happy to see what kind of stuff Raliv has in the works.
Link to the Unofficial Archipelagates server im hosting for any who wish to share/find new presets to mess with or chat with fellow community members. All are welcome. 😁 https://discord.gg/bz7t7xkdC4
sex toys would be cool
Any hint on what the next updats wikk have?
I installed this via the itch app, and made a custom directory to install the game into. I made a character and hit "save and quit", but when I relaunch the game I don't have the save, or any of the "custom npcs" I made.
Also when I did sex with Sophia with her strapon, then did sex again penetrating her, she kept the strapon on, it looked weird.
Also cum doesn't stick to things like trees, houses, or objects like Sophia's bed
EDIT: I launched the game through the .exe rather than the app, and now I can load my save. The itch app is definitely a little broken
Now the game won't launch through the app. I'm guessing it's an issue with the itch app, not this game
Ack! I am sorry to hear that, I always recommend the Itch app, and use it myself. I am glad to hear running the exe works for you, but that is frustrating about the app. Hopefully it was something in particular about your setup that caused the app to fail, and not a problem more people will run into.
the game won't launch or load your save, if you have "itch.io sandbox" enabled in your app preferences
That was the issue, thanks!
All that said, I'm really enjoying this game! The sex is hot, it's an interesting way of unlocking new positions (though wasn't obvious at first), and cumming on NPCs and things is something nobody else really does (Wild Life). The movement is fun, and I like that everyone gets knocked down in one hit.
The only complaints I have are that the health-up fruit seems to be totally random in levels, and that it's hard to find if/where a town person is in the level. Otherwise I seem to be getting gold/sellables at a consistent enough rate where it doesn't feel too grindy.
Also it would be nice to be able to toggle something, where there aren't any enemies in the level, just NPCs. You could make a trade-off, like you can't pick up loot
I like this
are you gonna do anything for the one year anniversary?
can't wait for the new update :>
is there a patreon for this i would love to support it!
There is not sure why Raliv doesn't have it posted but if you really want to support them you can.

i love this game, please keep updating it
please
Don't worry ^w^ it will still be getting updates. I think it may be around 3 February for the next update.
I hope the ability to change keybinds comes to the game
Any plans to add sound effects?
any updates its a very well made game
I've noticed during some male/male interactions, the top's genitals will clip through the bottom's to reach the hidden vagina rather than the ass. Particularly noticeable in "Doggystyle" and "Cowgirl". Not sure if this is intended.
update soon? just asking
My Suggestion (From what i have played and since i can't find a roadmap and don't wanna read through comments sorry if some of these has been said already)
-a better camera system (like free cam)
-Being able to pose your character (For Screenshots) like sitting for one
-potions
-Customizable Home (like being able to buy or craft furniture and workstation and where to place them) and Interactive furniture for sitting sex or other sexual actives like a milking station and whatever those semen collecting stations are called that are used for horses (maybe for a base for potions)
-Party system where you can keep, level, and customize their loadout npcs you find and like if this isn't in the plans maybe a way to invite them back to your house for your fav npcs so you don't need to keep looking for them (also this will give the option to use furniture to have sex)
-A way to delete or edit custom npcs you make (i have like 3 of the same npc cause i wanted to change something)
-Personity types (if you do the party system) like Dom, switch, sub in which they will like certain sex position and action more than others and if they like receiving or giving
-add toys and allow npcs to use toys also strap ons
-maybe a crafting and or building system if you take this game in a direction where you can claim and need to defend islands (and whenever you die you lose an island and if you go with the party system your party members and any npcs on the island have a chance of being captured and you need to Resurce them)
-Enemy npcs that can take advantage of you when they defeat you and vise-verse (there can also be enactments that help in this like a aphrodisiac one or weapons like a net)
-more weapon types (especially range) and attack animations (which I believe you'll add anyways I am just saying)
-revamp the enchant system and add more Intractive enchantments then just a icicle and fireball
-more clothing and character customizing stuff (mainly more hair options)
-Kinks that would be nice to add Inflation, bondage, rough play kinks
(thats all i can think of right now)
(ah a little ps this game looks amazing and has alot of potential so please do not burn yourself out on making this game i wouldn't want this to be abandoned i am just adding my 2 cents in places that can be improved and maybe new mechanics to add)
It would be cool to see something like inventory leveling and experience gain or drops can be like enchantment. And of course, there are more varieties of body aspects when creating a character (Penis, tattoos, hairstyles, etc.)
IS there gonna be a multiplayer planned?
No, multiplayer is not planned, sorry
Are there any plans for more races? Would kill to see rabbits added. But Mice, deer, sheep ect would be amazing as well as more customization options for hair, tails and other weapons and magic.
Yeah, a bunny girl would be PEAK
I think it would be cool if you could bring some of the random npcs along as companions, and if you make it back to town safely they can stay at your house.
and some inflation stuff would be hot, maybe with buffs/ debuffs too.
Oh and maybe a portal can require that you take a certain amount of people you have recruited / befriended to fight a boss or to complete a certain task.
I think a companion system would be pretty cool
Pikmin but with sex?
It could work...
love this idea, I kinda feel bad just leaving them after having "fun" with them
Both those ideas are good. Before buying the game I actually thought you *could* have a companion to follow you around.
And I second the motion for inflation. :3
Slow to build, but just keep at it and they get bigger
I have an idea but I still want to ask how to effectively save your savestate with games like this. I could still image the game not accepting me simply moving the savestates around and stuff.
Will be in the game companion or similar opportunity?
Just a suggestion of QOL, nothing more
NPC callout (Calling certain npc's to your house or to the free house in town area)
Exiting to main menu instead of exiting the game
Ability to remove tails entirely without creating an elf...
A shop with all types of clothing or weapons for your lvl, just so people don't have to search for some certain object for 8 maps (sometimes even more)
Being able to delete or edit default npc's or the npc's you created ingame (without going to a certain directory to delete or edit them with text)
Sound options (Turn off ambient sounds, maybe music in the future?)
Less "showing" pants (personally, I got annoyed with having to wear only the belt when my char has a "pencil" cuz of that bulge on any other pants... the only way i see out of this is making the bulge a fixed size)
Normal human race, not an elf (for me, personally, the faces the elf race's face is doing are mostly disgusting), and also tan lines as body paint...
That's all i can suggest after a ~day of playing, maybe will edit
(if it's possible)or add another comment if i find anything anything else! And again, that's just a personal suggestion, not smth i think everyone will like, just my opinion.Will the game be available on Steam in the future?
no, it was proposed but it got knocked down by steam
Well, thank you for your reply
On what grounds if I may ask?
I might be wrong, but if I recall correctly it was wrongfully taken down under the guise it went against steam ToS
Hmm, given all the other stuff on steam I find that odd.
I had to delete a post here. I try to never do that, but it was pretty aggressive misinformation.
Steam declined to sell Archipelagates due to their belief that the game's characters in some character create configurations look too young. That's the whole story. I did my best to limit the character create so that would not happen, but they were not satisfied, and they have every right to decide that. I am sorry to everyone who wanted the game on Steam. I hope to do better with future games.
I am not at all bothered by folks asking by the way. I just get tired of explaining, sorry. And if the person that wrote the comment I deleted reads this, please don't make up stories.
Could you possibly create a Discord or something we can officially join in order to share presets we have made?
I have decided to go ahead and make a Discord server for those wanting to post and/or find presets until such a time that that RalivDev decides to take over (get in touch and we can do a transfer), or make their own entirely. https://discord.gg/bz7t7xkdC4
there already is a discord, however its patron only, wish it wasnt but yeah
Well, at least this is something.
If i had to guess when the next update will be it will be sometime next year
I wouldn't mind that honestly, it would give them a moments rest after the whole ordeal with the last update.
well according to the Development logs, they seem to have a update each month, so maybe in January or Febuary there will be a update.
Perhaps a proper footjob with both feet would be nice, a organized menu for the many growing actions. And maybe once all is said and done, we get an slight updated character models....with individual toes. :)
buttplug.io would be amazing. prob for later tho after the game is more polished
buttplug.io would be amaaaazing, yes. There are certainly many good uses for it, even when outside of sex scenes, like finding rare loot, taking damage, etc.
Souls like mode in the optins menu, where attacs do not follow the camera but insted the direction of the character with aditional lock on, would be wonderfull for me and many others.
Is there a chance to add something like this in a future update?
ps: sorry for bad english.
I would compare this more to Super Mario 64 or Kingdom Hearts for camera style. Personally I agree, I would love to see some lock on for magic and detaching aim from the camera would be appreciated.
I love the progress so far! My only critique is the anatomy. On the women specifically, the vaginal opening should be slightly further back than it is and the anus too, just a tiny bit, less so than the vagina. lol. Other than that, everything else is amazing so far!
Also it should open more, can't even see it move unless you clip the camera.
Honestly, a slider for the position would be better. Not all genitals (both genitalia) are in the same place. Some are further back some are higher up in front, same for the backdoor.
One request: Could you please add some soundtracks and more sounds. It's so quiet. Maybe add some noise for the nsfw scenes. It will improve the game.
While we all agree it's currently, to my knowledge, a low priority item at this time. Please have patience.
Okay noted, but what is the priority right now?
One minor bug: When I proposition Sophia she runs to her house and does this hop when she gets to the door. She often misses the door and will end up stuck on the roof. It happened five times in a row today and I had to block her so she wouldn't wall jump on to the roof to get her inside the house.
One request: Make it where one gate in town always links to the highest level island the player can access.
Yeah Sophia is just like that, tho usually she doesn't end up on the roof
+1 for the gate idea, and Sophia is magical like that, she'll just teleport inside after you talk to her.
Female x Female action with her in the house bugged her when i tried to have fun as a female, so there seems to be some problems with her in general.
One suggestion: maybe not remove all cum on the body when you warping to a different island? i found myself not using to cleaning plant at all. if i want to get cleaned up, i just go for different island.
