Scroll up, the pictures give the idea, maybe the dev could make a demo video but at this time I would not expect a demo since that's basically the game as a whole right now.
It does have a very nice fleshed out character creation that I expect will get even greater in time. Personally I would say it's absolutely worth the $15, the combat is loosely like Kingdom Hearts?
Okay thank you, but wow seems like lately you don't even have to try anymore to earn dislikes.
edit: If you meant scrolling up to take a look at the pictures...I did that before writing that comment, so that's the reason why I thought you get a better feel when you get your hands on a demo.
I would have to try someone to explain to me the way I possibly acted stupid or insulted the dev, you know the downvote.
I just had two situations again where I feel like mentioning you eat an apple everyday earns you a downvote.
Hey uhm one last question, do you have a price raise in mind? I heard here on this side your forced to pay the difference in chase you change it later and I would like to know what I could expect. It seems like it's not exactly like on steam where I only have to pay the 15 $ and keep every version.
Also I was really not sure if I remembered the gifs wrong, but have you already added something?
I have no plans to raise price, and I would certainly never do it if it caused people who own it to pay more... That sounds terrible, is that really a thing?
My wish list is, I wish I could just wave and say hi to the other islanders as an emote. Maybe also offer them a baked goop fruit and to chat and hear what their hobbies are.
If you ever need someone to write a million lines of random coherent dialogue in a bunch of different personalities, let me know <3
But really I'd love to be able to just, emote waves and convo back at them it appeases the demisexual in me, their facial animations are already so warm and expressive I can't help but to want to be nice to them!
So far having fun playing the game. Had few funny moments like meeting Shale for the first time in Wild, I knocked him out cold on accident while fighting a skeleton.
Then an NPC with access to Fireballs was charging up to hit a sketon but as they died, they turned towards me and casted the Fireball right at my feet.
Some visual bug here and there like the 'blades of grass' just stretching out into any direction.
Also when being on the receiving end of things, the genital, how to describe it. Vanishes briefly before appearing again on my character, over and over.
(Never thought I'd ever say such thing but) the dicks are getting stuck on the character's own asses. It ain't even have to be extremely long ones to happen. I dunno if it's just me, cause I haven't see anyone else mention it.
I've been thinking about this a lot. It'd be nice to bring people in to live in the town and maybe like, set them on missions to gather things or let them work on building on the town? At the very least have them walk around and talk to other towns people to liven it up a bit.
The thing that keeps jumping to mind to me is the robots you could recover and send on little away missions in Megaman X Command Mission and they'd bring back weird supplies you as the player couldn't normally find.
I just lost my last save to the enchantment bug like before it was reported x3 and it doesn't look like I can recover it.
I was encountering an issue though where I couldn't dye most my clothes except one bikini top and a pair of gloves. The dye wouldn't take on the leather boots/thigh highs or any of the pants I had, (Rags and Leather).
no big deal! I expect this sort of thing to happen a lot! I'm still having fun just jumping around and thinking about things that I might like to see in the game.
The Save Protection Hotfix has been uploaded! Details are in the Hotfix development log above, but in short this should reduce the likelihood of corrupted saves.
Had a realization that maybe you've already also had, but if more debuffs and such are planned in the future with enemies, it may be fun to have some themed around various kinks! Off the top of my head bound, inflated (cumflation from too much 'fun' maybe), or hypnotized come to mind as things that may not be terribly difficult to implement. These could be from enemies, traps, or other characters that can be found in the overworld. As the game evolves if more kinks are added it may also be nice to add an options page to toggle on/off various effects for players to customize their adventure somewhat.
As is with update 1 I'm really glad for the visuals added! Nice to not be totally null for fem base characters. The skeletons also are looking very cool now!
I also had an idea of if you have 'fun' with over 3-4 people you start to "fill" and maybe there would be a way to empty it when you wanted lol. And if there is a hot biome (sands or lava etc.) musk or visual sweat would be cool.
But these are just ideas I thought of while playing. I know making a game is VERY hard and I'm sure he is hard at work doing the main stuff so I don't want to stress them out.
cant wait for future updates no matter how small they are :33
I'm encountering an error when I talk to the first(?) character and it just gets stuck like this so I have to Alt+F4 - which also means I can't proceed passed this point. The game isn't "Frozen" like they're stuck in their idle animation, legs quivering, I'm like idly marching in place. But no button I push progresses the dialogue or lets me back out of it.I'm running this on Proton Experimental through steam since I'm on Linux but I don't know if that'd cause this since nothing else in the game is having issues. I'm really enjoying the movement tech and just hopping around so far.
If we're supposed to be uploading bug reports elsewhere pls let me know
It isn't very clear, but you have to click specifically on the text box to proceed in dialog. If you are using a steam deck you will need to use the touch screen.
I attempted it like 3 times but I couldn't see my cursor to try to do that, it was like still in normal gameplay mode and not menu mode. After I restarted my computer it stopped doing that and I was able to proceed but I was still a little confused at what I was supposed to do at first until I did see my mouse and realized I had to click the dialogue box. Been having a lot of fun hopping around since
Yea probably a bug. Thanks for the detailed information, and I am glad you got past it. I will look into what went wrong and put it on my list to try to make it easier to tell what to do.
So I was trying to go to town when the game black screen on me. I can till play but I couldn't see. I was able to closed the game but now when I try to play again I get an error in red letter next to character's name, and I can't play with that character. Is this a new bug or an old one? how do I fix this?
The error message appears when a game save was corrupted due to the game crashing or closing during a save. There is currently no way to fix it.. I am sorry it happened, and I will do my best to make it more resilient to that in the next patch.
Just wanted to say this is pretty promising so far! Really hope you'll be able to keep continuing on the development through completion.
The controls and core gameplay feel smooth, and the character creation alone is very promising, one of the most extensive already among NSFW games I've played.
I hope for more options and details for character customization like skin material/shininess (glossy/oiled look), muscle definition like abs, veins, and overall muscle toning and such.
Quite early for this question I think, but will this game ever have a multiplayer side to it, as in just a hub where people could connect and have 1v1's or something like that?
Multiplayer would be awesome, but it is a really significant workload. I would love to get better at multiplayer development, but I don't think I can fit it into development of Archipelagates at this point.
It is pretty time consuming to make drag and drop inventories work with controller. I will probably not be able to look into that in the near future. Sorry -_-
well thats understandable, but almost everything seemingly already works on controller aside basic movement and shift jump in a way so I was just wondering
I don't know what your plans are with the sexual part of the game for me, it's not why I play the game, to be honest. I really enjoy the hack slash part of it, the game loop is really fun at the moment even tho there's not much to do when you reach 20 that's it… Still it's fun.
But if you really wanted to do something about the animation part you could just add an Orgasm Bottom so you can either leave the animation to go for as long as you want or just orgasm instantly or a few secs after the animation started IDK… I'm not a game dev nor know anything about coding, hah.
As long as I can progress through the game with as little sexual acts as possible, I'm going to be happy.
Ty Dev. Ty ty ty. I know that it sounds odd, but the most important hole I looked forward to has been added. Praise the navel! As always, take your time and keep up the good work
Hey Raliv!!! the game is so much fun so far and i can't wait to see where it goes! i just wanted to ask if there was a discord that people who purchased the game could go to discuss the game and share screenshots or characters and the like?
If you use the Itch App, it does it automatically! If you are downloading manually, you will need to download the game again and run the new version. You can tell it is patch 0.2 if the upper right of the main menu says 0.230 in faded text (I should really make it easier to tell...)
This had little to do with that, I had been playing for a few hours before the update and I guess the update landing caused a soft loft/crash so the file got corrupted. it's ok, not the first file to fail to save.
Oh no! That sucks! I suspect there might be ways for me to guard against failed saves. I will try to look into finding a method to reduce that risk. Sorry that happened!
Hey Raliv, i actually adore this game you've put together, lovely smooth movement on top of a really fun game loop. The animations are really really good - particularly all the characters expressions <3
I was wondering if you were to ever consider making the game open to modding down the line? I know its early as hell but just wanted to show my appreciation. Keep up the awesome work man!
Modding support is pretty challenging. I don't want to say no because I agree it would be awesome, but I can't commit to it at this time since the game still needs a lot.
Hell yeah! This was the answer i was expecting, i know this game has basically just been opened as a demo xD But it's super cool to hear you wanna support it later! I'll keep an eye out for an announcement to just add more things like animations or CC options~
Hello, I am having a problem when I get to the gate and there is an NPC there, I click E to interact with her but there are no dialog options, I think it is because of the game resolution is there a way for me to change it?
For a game on its' first real public release, you sure did put a lot of content into Archipelagates- The movement is engaging, the islands are super fun to zip around on and varied enough to be pretty replayable, the combat may not be the most engaging thing yet, but assumedly it'll be worked on.
The character art is adorable and very alluring, and the costume system is super neat too! It's a bit on-release cyberpunk, kinda scrambling around for whatever has the most statistic gains, leading to a lot of slutty outfits, which, while not to my taste, has a certain flair to it that I kind of enjoy. The animations themselves are pretty nice.
I don't care for the emotes a whole lot, they're a bit fast, hot and heavy- I think there could be a bit more sensual flirtiness to the emotes and less overt "look at me jittering violently," but the actual animations, while they do end pretty quickly, are high enough quality.
This game shows extreme promise and I'm excited to see where you go with it! :)

hello devs do u have dc serve
I want to ask for a demo, it looks interessting, but I would like two scenes or something and a bit of the fighting as an example.
Scroll up, the pictures give the idea, maybe the dev could make a demo video but at this time I would not expect a demo since that's basically the game as a whole right now.
It does have a very nice fleshed out character creation that I expect will get even greater in time.
Personally I would say it's absolutely worth the $15, the combat is loosely like Kingdom Hearts?
Okay thank you, but wow seems like lately you don't even have to try anymore to earn dislikes.

I just had two situations again where I feel like mentioning you eat an apple everyday earns you a downvote.
Your question is valid. I have been meaning to add more animations of gameplay.
Hey uhm one last question, do you have a price raise in mind? I heard here on this side your forced to pay the difference in chase you change it later and I would like to know what I could expect. It seems like it's not exactly like on steam where I only have to pay the 15 $ and keep every version.
Also I was really not sure if I remembered the gifs wrong, but have you already added something?
I have no plans to raise price, and I would certainly never do it if it caused people who own it to pay more... That sounds terrible, is that really a thing?
How to move camra mouse aint working with the mouse for some reason
I think thats on your side of things
I'll see if I can reproduce, but haven't run into this before. Can you give me any more details?
well it could be the fact that I am playing on the steam, deck, could play it even connected a mouth but I couldn’t move the camera still.
My wish list is, I wish I could just wave and say hi to the other islanders as an emote. Maybe also offer them a baked goop fruit and to chat and hear what their hobbies are.
This is very cute and I agree. It is a bit time consuming though so this kind of thing will have to go on the possibly later list.
If you ever need someone to write a million lines of random coherent dialogue in a bunch of different personalities, let me know <3
But really I'd love to be able to just, emote waves and convo back at them it appeases the demisexual in me, their facial animations are already so warm and expressive I can't help but to want to be nice to them!
So far having fun playing the game. Had few funny moments like meeting Shale for the first time in Wild, I knocked him out cold on accident while fighting a skeleton.
Then an NPC with access to Fireballs was charging up to hit a sketon but as they died, they turned towards me and casted the Fireball right at my feet.
Some visual bug here and there like the 'blades of grass' just stretching out into any direction.
Also when being on the receiving end of things, the genital, how to describe it. Vanishes briefly before appearing again on my character, over and over.
Gonna look into that, if it will happen again.
Poor Shale -_-
Yea you are seeing a known bug. I'll do my best to fix it.
Shale is such a good boy, he deserves better. 😋
The blades of grass thing I've seen too, first time I saw it I was confused and exited thinking; "I didn't know there were zip lines in this!?"
(Never thought I'd ever say such thing but) the dicks are getting stuck on the character's own asses. It ain't even have to be extremely long ones to happen. I dunno if it's just me, cause I haven't see anyone else mention it.
It happens often with particular scale differences.. It is on my to do list, sorry.
yea ive noticed too, but Im sure the dev knows already lol
Climax effects and maybe even getting drippy after uhh "meeting" someone would go crazy lol. just a suggestion :3
mmmmyes.... 😍🤤
An idea for a future update, once the town is more complete.
Can we recruit some of the people we meet and fuck?
Either as temporary party members or members of the town?
I've been thinking about this a lot. It'd be nice to bring people in to live in the town and maybe like, set them on missions to gather things or let them work on building on the town? At the very least have them walk around and talk to other towns people to liven it up a bit.
The thing that keeps jumping to mind to me is the robots you could recover and send on little away missions in Megaman X Command Mission and they'd bring back weird supplies you as the player couldn't normally find.
How can I apply dye and pattern to clothing?
You will need to find a dying station in the wild. Once you find one, just add a clothing item and a dye and wait a moment.
Some clothing does not dye properly yet, I'll fix this in a future patch.
How rare are dying stations to find? I've been looking for a minute and haven't seen one. Thanks for the info tho!
Pretty rare.. they appear in large structures randomly.
Okay, thanks for the help!
how tf do I have 4h on this game 😭
Prob cuz its so fun lmao (and no I dont just fuck lol)
4?, that's not bad, I've got an addiction though at 50 hours in like a week. lol
Dude 50h and its not even done. props to Raliv for making a great game lolll
I just lost my last save to the enchantment bug like before it was reported x3 and it doesn't look like I can recover it.
I was encountering an issue though where I couldn't dye most my clothes except one bikini top and a pair of gloves. The dye wouldn't take on the leather boots/thigh highs or any of the pants I had, (Rags and Leather).
I'm sorry it wasn't able to fix your save. Hopefully that won't happen again.
Dyes always dye layer 1 of each clothing item. Some clothing has multiple layers, and I still need to make the dye system work properly on them.
no big deal! I expect this sort of thing to happen a lot! I'm still having fun just jumping around and thinking about things that I might like to see in the game.
The Save Protection Hotfix has been uploaded! Details are in the Hotfix development log above, but in short this should reduce the likelihood of corrupted saves.
if u could can u decrease the speed of animation when u try to flirt with them <3
(this game is so good that it blue screen my pc so bad <3)
how tf does this blue screen your pc bruh. dude on that 1994 home computer
Nah blud cant take a joke i meant this was so good it blue screen my pc 💀💀💀
PS) MY PC DID NOT GET A BLUE SCREEN FROM THIS GAME I JUST SADE IT BCK IT IS A VERY GOOD GAME <3
"blud"? and skull emojis? also hentai as a pfp?
Sorry
huh so what icant use emoji and say blud to people bck i have hentai as a pfp <3
tbh you are acting underage lol
I was made aware of a very bad corrupted save bug that happens when a glove enchantment is added with an enchantment adding station.
If you run into this, don't delete the save! I am uploading a hotfix patch tomorrow that should both prevent the issue and uncorrupt your save.
Thanks for the heads up, I'll probably just avoid enchanting gloves for the time being then.
Had a realization that maybe you've already also had, but if more debuffs and such are planned in the future with enemies, it may be fun to have some themed around various kinks! Off the top of my head bound, inflated (cumflation from too much 'fun' maybe), or hypnotized come to mind as things that may not be terribly difficult to implement.

the titles for MusclesArm and MusclesLeg are currently swapped
I'm sure someone has asked this before, is there or will there be a Discord for this?
I second this, wouldn't mind joining a Discord server for this game.
I have been planning to.. I'll try to make it sooner than later.
Love the new skeleton designs. Now I want to rip those claws from melee skeletons and use them as weapon
10/10 agreed
Pretty good game play for a furry sex game
I know right?
i was extremely surprised on how good the game feels to play, i had very low expectations for it but it turned out very fucking good hahah
where are the save files
%appdata%\..\LocalLow\RalivDev\Archipelagates\saves
(Pasting into your windows explorer will take you right to them)
did the steam page get take down
There was a misunderstanding with Steam, now the game is only available through itch.
PLEASE HELP!
So I was trying to go to town when the game black screen on me. I can till play but I couldn't see. I was able to closed the game but now when I try to play again I get an error in red letter next to character's name, and I can't play with that character.

Cool. Is there a way to delete the save so I don't have to see it anymore, or am I just stuck with it until I'm able to do so?
Go to this location on (usually) your C drive (copy and paste works in the file location of your file browser)
%appdata%\..\LocalLow\RalivDev\Archipelagates\saves
You can then delete the save file directly and safely from there.
You can make backups by copying the file if you want, too.
Any plans for this game to be released on steam in the future?
This game will not be released on Steam, sorry for the inconvenience.
All good. I was just wondering.
Just wanted to say this is pretty promising so far! Really hope you'll be able to keep continuing on the development through completion.
The controls and core gameplay feel smooth, and the character creation alone is very promising, one of the most extensive already among NSFW games I've played.

Multiplayer would be awesome, but it is a really significant workload. I would love to get better at multiplayer development, but I don't think I can fit it into development of Archipelagates at this point.
Yeah i didn't expect that was in the books really, i was just curious :)
15 days of asking why dont u answare me
I get pretty busy and the comments move fast sometimes, I am sorry I can't respond to everything.
No demo is planned for this game.
I would love to get my hands on a demo I can't afford the game in us dollers only in my local currency
will this ever have controller support
It is pretty time consuming to make drag and drop inventories work with controller. I will probably not be able to look into that in the near future. Sorry -_-
well thats understandable, but almost everything seemingly already works on controller aside basic movement and shift jump in a way so I was just wondering
Not a fan of the Longer sex animation time but the rest , very good looking forward to the next patch, keep it up.
It might be nice to have some control over sex animation time.. Like a modifier on clothing or a setting. Hmm..
I don't know what your plans are with the sexual part of the game for me, it's not why I play the game, to be honest. I really enjoy the hack slash part of it, the game loop is really fun at the moment even tho there's not much to do when you reach 20 that's it… Still it's fun.
But if you really wanted to do something about the animation part you could just add an Orgasm Bottom so you can either leave the animation to go for as long as you want or just orgasm instantly or a few secs after the animation started IDK… I'm not a game dev nor know anything about coding, hah.
As long as I can progress through the game with as little sexual acts as possible, I'm going to be happy.
Ty Dev. Ty ty ty. I know that it sounds odd, but the most important hole I looked forward to has been added. Praise the navel! As always, take your time and keep up the good work
Hell yea!
Hey Raliv!!! the game is so much fun so far and i can't wait to see where it goes!
i just wanted to ask if there was a discord that people who purchased the game could go to discuss the game and share screenshots or characters and the like?
Not yet, but I hope to set something up in the future.
How do I download patch, and how do I know its downloaded?
are you on the itch io app or the website?
If you use the Itch App, it does it automatically!
If you are downloading manually, you will need to download the game again and run the new version. You can tell it is patch 0.2 if the upper right of the main menu says 0.230 in faded text (I should really make it easier to tell...)
It did not do shit automatically, I had to click the gear on the bottom right then click manage then check for updates.
Got it thanks.
It does depend on your update settings and it sometimes takes a bit to realize it needs an update.
Understood, thanks.
HOLES CONFIRMED
OOF, I was still playing v18 not realizing, rip all that +3 and up gear. 😅
Sorry!!! I did not get a chance to fix the weapon mods balance yet. Next patch I promise!
This had little to do with that, I had been playing for a few hours before the update and I guess the update landing caused a soft loft/crash so the file got corrupted. it's ok, not the first file to fail to save.
Oh no! That sucks!
I suspect there might be ways for me to guard against failed saves. I will try to look into finding a method to reduce that risk.
Sorry that happened!
Fortunately, I'm an "Alt-o-holic" so starting over is not a big deal to me. 👍 But definitely hope there's a fix for it.
Update when?
On its way! In a couple hours tops!
EXCITE
Hey Raliv, i actually adore this game you've put together, lovely smooth movement on top of a really fun game loop. The animations are really really good - particularly all the characters expressions <3
I was wondering if you were to ever consider making the game open to modding down the line? I know its early as hell but just wanted to show my appreciation. Keep up the awesome work man!
Yes I agree
+1 for modding down the line.
Thanks so much!!

Hell yeah! This was the answer i was expecting, i know this game has basically just been opened as a demo xD
But it's super cool to hear you wanna support it later! I'll keep an eye out for an announcement to just add more things like animations or CC options~
What will be added in the new update
Hello, I am having a problem when I get to the gate and there is an NPC there, I click E to interact with her but there are no dialog options, I think it is because of the game resolution is there a way for me to change it?
The new patch added a resolution option in the escape menu in game. Let me know if you still can't see dialogs.
For a game on its' first real public release, you sure did put a lot of content into Archipelagates- The movement is engaging, the islands are super fun to zip around on and varied enough to be pretty replayable, the combat may not be the most engaging thing yet, but assumedly it'll be worked on.
The character art is adorable and very alluring, and the costume system is super neat too! It's a bit on-release cyberpunk, kinda scrambling around for whatever has the most statistic gains, leading to a lot of slutty outfits, which, while not to my taste, has a certain flair to it that I kind of enjoy. The animations themselves are pretty nice.
I don't care for the emotes a whole lot, they're a bit fast, hot and heavy- I think there could be a bit more sensual flirtiness to the emotes and less overt "look at me jittering violently," but the actual animations, while they do end pretty quickly, are high enough quality.
