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]
The core features of the game are largely implemented, but content is still being added and polished.
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. Find clothing and modify them with patterns and dyes to look your best.
Find Love
Meet and interact with characters on your travels. Find instruction obelisks to learn new sexual positions, and flirt with characters in the wild islands to entice them to try some.
Next Steps
With the core systems of the game mostly complete, patches are now focused on content. 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.

既然有了一个流体系统，将来会有什么计划加入一些关于生存和生理系统的内容吗？（我想看到角色因为生理需要而处于紧急状态）

Not for this game I'm afraid. I DO really enjoy these kinds of games though so I might be interested in making a game like that at some point. But no plans for this kind of system for Archipelagates.
anyone else kinda miss the normal skeletons with the clothes and weapons?
Quite a lot, personally. I think they should appear at the starting levels, then be overtaken by the crystalized and warped ones in later levels. That way it visualizes the changes in difficulty and lets the player know that they're moving into new territory since the current game doesn't have a change in the islands much yet.
Edit: I know there are bigger and existing differences in the enemies, just that I think moving on from normal to crystalized skeletons would be more dramatic and interesting to see.
i agree with this
another idea is that the old skeletons could replace the recently dead npc with there loot. (you you damn goblins let the dead rest in actual peace.)
Understandable, I made the switch because the skeleton's outfits were causing a lot of players to get frustrated with how fast their inventory was filling up. But I do kind of miss skeleton gear also..
Maybe a new set of clothes that are like rags that don't show up as an item that players can loot?
That sounds like bad inventory management on their part. If they don't want their inventories filled with stuff they don't want, then they should avoid collecting stuff they don't want. You can always just not collect things.
could add an option to lock skeleton items. that would reduce collectable items
maybe make the skeletons be used by the player as like a spell for like necromancy
Hey Boss, would you take any ideas/commissions for outfits/ poses
I have one or two outfits and one or two poses I'd love to see implemented. i don't mind paying a bit for them
I don't do commission style outfit adds, but please feel free to suggest. I often implement ideas from the comments if I am able.
The clothing system for Archipelagates is texture based, so things like skirts and jackets won't work unfortunately.
is there a way to lower the render distance or graphics or something??
RalivDev8 days ago(+2)
Unfortunately, most of the heavy lifting in this game comes from the procedural animation and posing, and procedural world geometry count.. No amount of lighter graphics settings will save a PC from that -_-.. I have been optimizing as best I can over the course of the patches, but I am reaching the limits of optimization I am personally capable of.
...............
Have you tried lowering your resolution and or running in window mode and reducing the windows size to about 3/4?
haven't but I will, thx :v
hey RelivDev I know you've been cooking something up, but I wanted to suggest an idea.
what about harder levies with different biomes?
so basically in the portal gates you would have three possible gate options that may spawn. the normal stone door, a dark cobble stone door with sigils in the stone, and a cobble door where the sigils glow with like a blue/red/pink color
the second door has like a orange maple color to the flora and the ruins have a cobble like texture. along with that, enemies are 5 levels higher than your character. but, better loot.
the rune door depends on the color. red runes means double fire enemies and small fires dot the land./ blue is for ice so double ice enemies and slick ice randomly forms on the island (even on slopes so watch how you bhop) / and pink is an insane amount of mele/ bomb enemies that do more damage, spot you quicker, and attack faster.
i don't know if your game have an engine limit so I was just wanting to share an idea I had and see what you think. regardless great work as always, and I can't wait to see what you do next XD
These kinds of things are really good ideas, and the only thing stopping me on this front is budget. Budget gets out of control so fast on an indie game I am learning.
As long as your trying, thats all that matters to me. responding with your thought and info is good enough for me to be happy :)
Hey, do you have a patreon? And if you do is there a direct download there so I don't have to link my account to Discord or any other third party?
EDIT: I write this because those like vinculations don't usually work or take a long time to make or are simply buggy.
the patreon is https://www.patreon.com/c/Raliv/posts
however, the download for the tier links aren't like a direct download, instead they link to https://ralivdev.itch.io/archipelagates/patreon-access and https://ralivdev.itch.io/archipelagates-test/patreon-access (test usually only trails behind release by a couple days)
Not sure what you mean by not linking discord though, I'm not in any h/adult discords
No, I mean, thanks for the info but I was referring to whether the Patreon account in general had to be linked to other sites, because they usually use Discord or itch.io, so as you told me it's necessary, I'd better wait for the game to come out complete or for Patreon to put direct links.

is there no white latex!? I respawn the shop like 1000 times with no avail.
Also I noticed a thing to un-enchant items and place them on other items, will we be able to acquire this too at some point in our homes?
The white color doesn't really work well with the latex effect, if you want to you can see yourself by equipping a white item and changing its metallic value in the save file like you did below
Cool thx,
just tried it out your right but still got it to work with a workaround. I changed all my gear to any latex color(in-game) than used #E6E6E6FF (white) to replace the color rather than changing the metallic value. Not sure what value actually changes the latex shine yet.
Fun little cheat (if you didn't know)
You may want to create a new character for this
Go to your C drive, find user, your account name, app data folder(hidden), localLow, RalivDev, Archipelagates, saves, used notepad to open your character file.
It's hard to look at but you can edit many things here, like oversized naughty bits, giving yourself 99 health, and edit weapon values. Made myself level 100. Just wished the enemies overall power would scale with the realm level.
great game i hope a full game is made would 100% be worth buying again
Hey, thank you so much for this wonderful game, all your passion and hard work shows, I would pay 30-60 for the full game, no problem, the concepts and execution are just that good:)
so on to my selfish reason to be here...these are just some desires I have for the game(saying them in case they haven't been said and for you to pull from if you didn't already think about it and like the idea)
//Let us look at the NPCs in NPC manager so I know what I want to see or don't. you could simply add a small icon (dick or no dick) works for me. also add a way to edit those existing npcs
1)give customization more options and bigger sliders:
Basically lets us make the arms/ hands smaller dick girth smaller, butt bigger, let me widen the hip without widening the stomach and gaming them chubbyish?give the tits/ass a sag feature, how about letting me make a fat/chubby character for giggles, adding different hair textures to head(or more head shapes per species), different eyes shapes etc.(add nails to fingers similar to toe nails)
2)how about Aluring some people by a show of strength beating them in combat,and/or allow my simple presence to allure wild creatures (could be some kinda stat you get from killing bosses or secret chest)
3)recruit system? its kinda a shame to be able to make npcs but not take them home or have them join your party.
4) more anals/grinding transitions?
Basically starts an interaction with them, grinding on your area before inserting. could be good for some standing sex from behind or a thigh job.pls Im a degenerate bitch in heat for those.
5)more species
That's it, even tho it's basically A LOT of work. But just some ideas/desires. If you read this, thank you so much for a moment of your time. I know you must be busy and there is no rush, take your time, do not try to hurry with everything or you could burn out.
With love,
Grateful nobody.
i agree with this, just do be mindful (If you are not aware) it is a one man show making this game, so maybe a few updates before you see any suggestions added.
I believe the NPC menu was a much requested feature before it existed, i dont want to say "half baked" but i will say it was missing probably the most important thing, an icon or image of said NPC.
Do strongly wish the character menus were more user friendly and with more options, i.e more species, and probably some more... i guess intimate scenes. I do personally feel they are lacking BUT they get the job done. Wish there were more ambient sounds, and event orientated sounds. really the only sounds that are in the game is the pitter patter of the NPCs and your own feetsies; along with just the ambient world sounds.
Will say I wish the home island was bigger, with more NPCs, more levels, more or higher chances to get max level worlds, they simply are not frequent enough, opening portals dont make you join the russian space program (I have been yeeted off maps at a max level portal because i couldnt get away in time) more non spawn islands with different terrains and climates and obstacles to overcome, and finally, bit of a hot take, either a higher chance to see shops in non spawn islands OR, a higher chance to get max level non spawn islands.
I personally with where the game sits, kind of prefer patch 0.8, as much as i like the must recent updates, i just hate the crush to QOL, being able to find better tools, islands etc.
Yea these suggestions are also right on target with what I want for the game. I can't say how much more I can fit in, but you are speaking my language with these suggestions.
Love these ideas, and this is totally on vibe with the kind of things I want, but as Jeffy656 replied, I am struggling a bit with scope. I will take note though.
Thank you so much for a moment of your time and for the reply. No worries, take your time we will support as far as we can until the end
Genuine question, are there plans to have a muscle tone slider to the models, or is that out of the realm of possibility?
are you going to put hooves in the game will i be able to make draenei character and what about squirrel tails and rabbit ears.
The system I made for feet is unfortunately NOT GREAT.. I probably won't be able to retool it for hooves as much as I would like to. Rabbit ears and squirrel tails are doable though, and are going in my list. Thanks!
I would personally love to see more detail on the Anus, more of an indication that you are performing Anal sex, Otherwise this is a pretty good game. Excited to see what else you cook up.
Haha uh oh.. So I made the penetration system pretty.. vague.. in the hopes that I would get away with it and save time developing tech for the character variation..
Turns out that part is important and people definitely notice! Lesson learned, but I probably won't be able to fix this for this game.
will sounds be added for the sex scenes
Can you add the Rape system in the game? Like if you killed someone you can rape them
Ralidev made it very clear he has NO intention of adding non consent sex in this game
No non-consensual content is planned for this game.
uh... is this normal?..
Hahaha this should not have been possible.. it looks like the game failed to kill you when you fell, and you went so far down you got infected with a thing called "floating point precision degradation".
Don't worry it isn't fatal, you should still be able to save and quit.
funny thing it happened twice
So you want 2 nickels?
sorry but i dont know what nickels are (my english is mid)
Hopefully a rare coincidence. But could be a PC hardware issue.
Crazy! Definitely a bug because it should not be able to happen.
Is there any way to lower the graphics, like removing shadows or something like that, to get better performance? My PC really sucks.
Unfortunately, most of the heavy lifting in this game comes from the procedural animation and posing, and procedural world geometry count.. No amount of lighter graphics settings will save a PC from that -_-.. I have been optimizing as best I can over the course of the patches, but I am reaching the limits of optimization I am personally capable of.
Thank you so much for the answer to my question, I'll buy a better graphics card anyway lol. Can I know what the minimum requirements are to run this game decently?
If I may? What are you currently using? I'm using a Lenovo legion go. With the new 1600x1000 resolution I can get semi stable 45-55 fps
AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme
16 GB LPDDR5X-7500MT/s (Soldered)
strange how it handles MGS phantom pain and GTA online 1080p no problem.
hope you're doing okay RalivDev <3
Thank you! I am doing well!
There have been a couple delays, but things are still good!
thank you very much for the lil update :D, i appreciate all the hard work you're putting into this lil gem of a game!
I wanted to ask will it be possible in the future for others to flirt with you first or show interest in you... I kinda like the idea of being chased rather than being the chaser... maybe adding some kinda beauty stat aside from charisma? so if your "really attractive" others will approach you vs with high charisma flirting will be easier on your end
so they do, but it simply just has no effect on the player, it is ultimately up to the play to put yourself in that position where they will do that.
But again, it has no effect on the player
update soon?
Came about quite the interesting 'encounter', where in order to reach the chest atop the floating rocks one must parkour in a rather specific way to make it there in the first place unlike the usual way where the floating rocks does not seem offset.
Attaching a video recorded by me to provide a visual to what I have described above.
Is there a dedicated place for reporting bugs?
whats the bug and i can check the official server or you to see if its there
I managed to hard lock the game. While returning to Town, the warp sequence started before I was fully recovered from the forced ragdoll. When I arrived, the camera was stuck halfway in the ground, the player avatar refused to spawn in, and I had no choice but to force quit the game. I also learned as a result of this that corrupted save data prevents the game from starting.
sent the bug report to the official server bubs, hopefully raliv sees it some time this weekend/ next week!
Thanks for that. Would you mind guiding me to where bugs are reported? If I encounter another bug, I'd like to report it myself, so I don't have to bother someone else for it.
so unfortunately, you have to be a patron to join the discord, and that, as far as i know, is the only place you can submit a bug report
Thank God SteamDB allows me to see whatever got removed.
im keeping my eye on you
malware?
no bunny? :<
We may have bunnies in the future ^w^ Just need to wait and see what Raliv adds next.
When will the 0.11 update be released, please?
There is a good chance Raliv is aiming for 3rd May.

Ideas and suggestions part 5
More character customizations. To start I noticed we currently have only two body types, human and reptilian, considering that we have an equine penis, we should hopefully get the hoofs to go with it.
Last update be gotten some shark parts. This gave me the idea of land, air and sea. So what if you added avians to game. I doubt they'll be able to fly unfortunately but make a great addition.
Random bits.
Bunny ears, bat wings, ability to remove fog? Small tidbit of what's coming in the next update. More types of islands (dessert, snow, water?, space!?), mesh multi boobs, twin penis?
And one more thing I know won't happen.... cinema mode, posing characters together for pics and videos... Cause I wanna mod my character dancing to Love and Joy with Sophie and Shake.
Are you gonna add more sex positions?
Umm, I'm not the creator... But I'm as sure Raliv will add more.
Also... dessert...not fixing that 😋
sorry saw idea suggestions and jumped the gun haha
IDK how late i am, but happy one-year anniversary :]
id kill for a giraffe option in the character creator
it would be super amazing wonderful if you were to add paws with actual beans and shaped paws. What I would give to see this happen!
when will you add voice lines
I personally always thought their voices would become a bunch of blips and repeated sound clips, like how it's done in games like Undertale or Killigan's Treasure
this game rocks, easily my favorite game of this genre I've tried. Super excited to see updates
Will there be any "defeat" animations or have you thought about implementing this type of content?
Provided you're imagining it in the Non-con sense, then I think that idea's already been shutdown.
Can there be a demo? I like to try it out, but I don't want to spend my money.
Ideas and suggestions part 4
New enemy types and weapons. It be nice to have diversity in combat. As of now any strong weapon will easily one hit an enemy, but if enemies had different weaknesses, it'll give the player an reason to carry multiple weapons. I'd say this game will do well with the addition of shields, bows, axes and the best for last, magical wands and staffs.
And a mini boss monster.
Is this Gonna be available on steam?
No, steam has rejected this game sadly.
How many Obelisks are there? and is it just one in each area?
There is only one on each island. They will still spawn even when you have unlocked all the animations, they will just be blank.
