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!
I recommend the Itch App to get updates automatically, but if not you can download them for free as they become available.

is there a patreon for this i would love to support it!
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
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.
Hi Ralivdev, I'm loving the game so far. It's pretty straightforward and fun at this point. I think it's a solid foundation to expand upon. Is there a list of what you hope to implement down the line? I'm looking forward to seeing how this game evolves.
We don't really get to know stuff till its almost here(maybe the patrons know?)
Only thing we know will happen eventually is more sounds, aside from that anyone's guess
If there's ever a body mod update in the future, some wings would be ACE. They wouldn't serve a purpose, maybe flap during a dash jump, but if you're going for a dragon or demon look, the wings would REALLY round it out.
would buttplug.io support be added?
Any news on what the next update is going to be about?
its usually the around the 3rd of every month, but since things got shaken up a bit with the fluids update, now im not exactly sure when its gonna be
thats not what i was asking
nvm we cant read
then what you were asking?
They asking what the next update is going to be about, as in what will the devs add to the game
THANK YOU
The idle amination is sooo cute and goofy, I love it!
i just got the game but seem to be haveing crashes happen like every 4-5 min so cant really play the game anyone know anything about this?
Best guess is shitty pc, if you're using a laptop youre doomed (best case scenario lower fps)
It may be optimized more in the next updated
that cant be it m8 i build this not too long ago![]()
its fine now i got some Hs in but still prone to randome crashes sometimes after 30 min others 3 sec in to the game
Then its indie bullshittery, some games just decide not to work on a random powerful pc but will work on a literal potato
I would love a way to scale the UI, I cant read anything on screen. Also I am not sure that the 3 blank boxes at the top of the screen are, and the letters are too small and nothing "drags" into them so I'm kinda lost (and get killed very quick by the fire dudes) trying to open a menu to heal
The 3 boxes are for spells. If you find and equip an item with an "enchantment" on it, it will automatically fill in one of the boxes. The keys for them are 1, Q and 3.
will you add more sound effects in the next update?
planned but not a priority
Hey RalivDev, I had a small idea for some new clothing items for a future update,
I have been thinking how cool it would be, If a new top could be added,
A hoodie, Seeing as i do tend to wear hoodies quite often,
I would love to see a hoodie of sorts be put into the game,
Another clothing item i can think of is being able to wear a backpack of some sorts, Just to give a more realistic feel to items we carry when opening the items menu, Though wearing the backpack would not really be required to carry our items, It would be wearable specifically just for looks as a part of our outfits,
The only other clothing item i can think of currently, Would be a pair of thigh-high socks, For those who would enjoy having that,
But that's about it for what i can think of for now.
Keep up the good work!, Looking forward to seeing what you have for us in the future!.
You can also add new weapons, a spear (which you take and poke enemies) and of course the one and only SCYTHE of its kind!As they say, give me a scythe and I will destroy everyone on the way XD!!!!!!!
You can kind of make a thigh-high sock pattern using panelleg and legsofthigh if you don't mind the socks being grafted to your characters body
Sense your other game is also on Steam will you be adding this to Steam as well?
cuz i feel more comfortable buying things on Steam then here if that makes any understandable sense
Sorry, this game will not be available on steam. I will do my best to bring other games to steam but Archipelagates is only available here.
Looks like the dev tried to put it on Steam, but the game got booted off before release. I had it in my wishlist but it's gone now and the store page is gone too.
Steam didn't understand that short does not equal child, iirc.
Are saved character designs available in the files, btw? It'd be nice if we could easily share designs with eachother that we can add in as NPCs.
Just go to your main drive/storage on pc, the. Users, select yourself,
then find appdata(its hidden so you need to check "show hidden files" in view)
Under that there should be Ralivdev, which will have your save, saved character presets, npc's and such
Sidenote: it would be sick if we had a official discord to share npc's, also maybe the option to edit them in the game
You can edit them in-game before you add them. Post adding, make another.
Some notes I got after playing the new patch,
-Not a fan of returning to original position after ragdoll. Combat is simple atm and ragdolling helped add positioning and strategy to it, and encouraged me to use things like the ground slams and feel satisfied when I landed them.
-Also telefragging enemies that attack you as soon as they reposition after ragdoll is just annoying ò3ó
-NPCs get knocked out rather easily. Maybe something we can do to pick them back up if they do? Like putting berries in their inventory to rez them.
P.s. *loving* the fluid mechanics! They really add a lot of fantasy to the scenes that are already well animated, and I can't wait to see what you do with them next!
Ragdolled characters returning to their original position is a bug that seems to be happening at low framerate. I am investigating it.
I think i found a weapon bug
I have a op oneshot mace and a weak sword
Yet when i have them both equiped the sword can oneshot(unarmed stays the same, no change)
