If this is true, that is incredibly disappointing... still, I wish him the best and hope that whatever project he pursues is something he enjoys if he is no longer working on 1.0.
Honestly, now that I've had longer to think about it, I'm not really sure. It's hard to know what's real and what isn't when the discord isn't public, and there isn't another source to receive update information.
They have abandoned their last two games counting this one. Chastity catastrophe got an update just big enough to not get the abandoned tag. No content though. That burned my trust.
that really sucks... hopefully they can finish projects. I usually love supporting independent works, and I dont mind waiting until they are finished as long as they are being worked on. Really makes me feel like I wasted money on a project that was never gonna be completed. I understand you, that would burn my trust too.
It's true. Here's a screenshot of what got said in the Discord, that got shared with me. I really wish Raliv would've said something publicly. It's not helpful to keep it behind a paywall.
Can someone explain to Raliv that if he wants funding that he needs to do some marketing? I would assume him abandoning Archipelagates is going to have him lose subscribers, starting a new project just is just going to have the same outcome without anything to fix the problems he ran into.
You are 100% correct. People subscribed and supported him because they enjoyed the game he created, and even I was thinking about throwing some more cash his way if he was going to continue development. All this does, and rightfully so, is cause people to doubt he can ever finish a project he starts. Not to mention, making the discord and the games update announcements exclusive to patreons alienates his fan base. Marketing is vital for independent projects like these, and not commiting to it or even keeping your community up to date is a major red flag. Hope Raliv can realize this. I wont deny the obvious fact that the game not releasing on steam hurt the launch, because im sure it did. However, at that point I think Raliv either needed to cancel this version of the game, rebrand it, and try to get it on steam again, or they needed to scrap the project and move on to a new game where it could get a steam launch. I think why people are so upset is simply promises not being delivered, and majorly, a lack of communication.
Yes, you are correct about that, but given the history others are saying he has with finishing games, you cant expect people not to have concerns he wont abandon this project. Dont get me wrong, I love the games he's made, but it is concerning he didnt announce it publicly.
Aaaaaaaaaand there goes all trust for Raliv to complete any project now. He has worked with Naelstrof, could they not work together to advertise about Archipelagates and get funding to complete the project?
hmm looks like I was right and downvoted for no reason, I knew he will focus on next project, this game was failure since the very beginning because he couldn't sell it on Steam, but also the most annoying thing for me is that he didn't said anything, only on Discord and also after quite a while now.
also to anyone who doesn't believe, Raliv really decided to move on, this game is really dead, there will be no updates unless he will decide to focus on the game again but this is unlikely now.

That game really can give a lot possyble to make different's kink. Even ntr. Hope dev add something like relatenship system with npc and important characters too.
Game really have big porencial, need improve battle, for example off npc can atack each other. because now even if they try help they atack each other and palyer... Or i can attack them and they hate me after that and try kill.. That game also need add companion system, to ask someone walk with you for helpng in fight or help them meet other npc for FUN if you know what i mean. Also for smol pp if you make smol pp then sex not looks properly, need fix that.
What are the goals for v1.0 for this game? Currently it looks, feels, and plays more like a tech demo than a legit game, some places feel like placeholders (like the main "town" hub with your "house").
There are no sounds or voices. Give us some animal crossing-esque voices, and moaning/grunts.
Lacking fitting genitals for canines, I don't want a circumcised knotted penis, it just looks weird and painful to think about (I imagine the knot is moving and getting tugged on like on a human penis) When there are other penis designs that match other species (that do not have foreskin or are circumcised looking), lacking variety of weapon designs and material types, and no armor past very skin tight clothes.
Will we be able to have some actual love interactions past nodding and fucking? Like letting us bring/invite them to our town or home? Maybe let us have them follow as a companion to help us along the fight?
I am not sure how long this game is supposed to take before it gets to "v1.0", but currently it needs a lot more work than what is shown currently. And it would be nice to see more updates on what is being added or worked on.
"Give us some animal crossing-esque voices, and moaning/grunts." This is hilarious to me in concept. Just little blips of noises? Like the "eh" "ah" "oh" of Tom Nook?
Isn't Animal Crossing's voices just very sped up of normal text? I mean when they try say your character's name they can say it very clearly, but its sped up
Be patient all, remember at the very least Raliv is shooting straight for a 1.0 release which is great even if all we hope for is not accomplish. I'll gladly take this than all the other devs releasing never fixed bugs and incomplete games.
by looking at nature of these games 1.0 will mean nothing really, it will be still unfinished game with many things that could still be improved and reason that we didn't got update is the fact that he was working on different game meanwhile and Raliv is currently rushing this game to jump to next project, that's pretty much it.
let's hope this game will get some more content later on at least but I seen similar thing happen with KoboldKare, the game was abandoned as soon as the developer started new project and after that nothing really changed in that game, no more new content sadly.
Naelstrof made 3 new games since Koboldkare's last update really.
It is however sad when they don't even announce that they working on a new game or what they been doing since then. Its just a quick update or hotfix, then silence.
Raliv basically had only one collab with Naelstrof, and that was for making a weird side scrolling platformer. After that, they basically went making this game alone.
almost 3 months have passed since last update, so we currently missing patch 0.12, patch 0.13 and in a moment patch 0.14
what's the reason of this delay? you promised to release new update each month and I'm genuinely curious how this project will look like when it will be finished, also hoping this game will not be abandoned once you will start new project, it's really fun game even in current state because of the physics and the fact that we loot randomly generated maps.
if this is really going to be 1.0 I'm not sure if this game will be good, it's too early.
there game lacks sounds, for pretty much everything, UI could be polished, right now feels simple, there's nothing cool about it it's just there, world generation could be improved, more structures, biomes etc, also could be bigger chunk based maybe or something to let the game run smoother with much bigger maps to explore.
also combat, I feel like it's the main aspect of this game but currently the game combat is also really barebones, you hit first or get hit, that's pretty much it, each hit means getting ragdolled, enemies are pretty much dead when they ragdoll because they can't do anything or you the player, nothing unique about the combat also just there.
also there's no end goal, early access versions don't have any bosses etc and feels like the game was made to have such things to enounter yet there's nothing, leveling also only let's us enter higher tier areas that look exactly the same, and from my experience higher levels don't change much, maybe enemies get stronger but I never felt that the game actually gets harder, even without any gear I was doing fine.
and sex scenes, they actually got improved, but also that's the main focus of this game but they are also kinda there? idk but in a game I feel like there should be more interactions but all we do is pick animation and watch, at some point the animation just speeds up before it finishes.
maybe all of these things I mentioned gonna actually be in 1.0 who knows, but if not I think there should be more updates before 1.0 because the game doesn't really feel like it is close to being finished and for me at least this looks like attempt for the dev to just move on and abandon this game.
also sorry for slight rant, but maybe Raliv will listen and still work on this game a bit longer before focusing on new project.
Note: I'm not saying you're wrong for feeling the way you do, and I get it because I've felt the same way about other games, this is just how I've managed myself in the past.
I feel you're applying a bit too much pressure to this project. Like you're wanting it to be something it can't be. You made this evident in one of your earliest comments on the project iirc. I don't think this game, with a small team (or even less), is ever going to reach the expectations you place upon it.
I think it's justified to want it to be better, but you have to also consider whether or not it's realistic that a small team could make it as better as you think it could be. Ask what it would take for features to be added, the time, sometimes cost, and what you'd need to do. Not to mention life effects and how that often intertwines with developing, modeling, drawing and so forth.
There's a lot that has to be done, a lot of stuff that takes time. Realistically, you're not going to get these features, that sometimes takes month to get right, out monthly or even consistently. Sometimes you're lucky if you get it out at all. Really, to me, the issue isn't it not getting out.
I feel like a lot of people would just want to hear what's going on. I find that it's often a lack of communication in these projects that causes disconnects between devs and players. If information was made available and project updates, even if it was just blogposts, would be more than satisfactory to people. It'd create a bridge between player and dev, and would let us know why things are the way they are, and why things have to stop for one reason or another.
Unfortunately not, I don't think I can get performance fast enough for a decent android port. I also have no experience developing or distributing for android I'm afraid.
And to hopefully help prevent a deletion for spam, I am not a bot, and this is legitimately a server for purchasers to share and hang out in. Just to make it clear, neither I nor the server are directly associated with RalivDev other than for hosting community created content for the game.
I'm a member of this server and a preset creator in the past. The server has A LOT of presets and npcs to download. I had fun creating them at some point, but due to not having any new possibilities, I stopped doing them. Also you're free to ask any question about the game itself or just talk. a some people will probably answer pretty fast.
Also just incase anyone reads this, I still accept requests if you want some character that is not yet in the preset channel to be created and want me to do it! There are around 10 titled preset creators, and almost all of us have some differences in creating presets.
Considering they said they are trying to make the leap to 1.0, I feel like it'll be a while. Of course I hope there will be some other updates, but that's what RalivDev said if my memory serves.
If thats true, then why have we not heard anything about that "other game". If there is no proof about it, then its obvious they only focusing on their main game only. (Plus it does not make sense for them to make a other game with no info about it or it not being on Itch.io)
Forgot to ever follow up on this after my joke response.
I think there's a very low chance we'll see any appeal to niche fetishes or ones that depict such bodily-waste functions. Not in this game, at least, I'm not sure if it'd even be something you'd find on itch.io to be honest. It's not only niche, but also has a lot of disfavor laid upon it for the fact that it's considered "gross" by most people due to the fact it's unsanitary and so forth. Sex is already considered degenerate to a degree by more holier-than-thou types, and adding on urination would probably end in the immediate burial for indie games on most platforms like Itch.io, especially with the rounds that card companies are making.
also, Zaato if you said anything in your own mind, other than "ok that's fine", then that would make you a hypocrite as well. not to mention im my personal opinion the use of "hypocrite" is worthless. if someone voices there opinion and someone disagrees, that makes them a hypocrite but whoever called them out is also voicing there opinion, making them a hypocrite. I just think that we have the ability to voice our own opinions and ideas. And if people don't agree, they have that right. and if you cant deal with people judging your opinion, than don't make it public and go straight to the dev.
you can't honestly sit there and agree with every form of "desire". what of scat, gore, mutilation, diaper, and so on. unless you enjoy it yourself then i highly doubt you can agree with it casually.
I got a question concerning the premade NPCs, because it seems like there are patterns to their spawns. When I am out on the islands, I almost always run into Dusk and Razor at some point. They turn up with much greater frequency than any of the other NPCs, and they're almost always together. When they're not together, they're wandering around the island alone rather than being in a group with other NPCs. Is there something to this observation, or is it just a coincidence?
I also noticed this for a while. I have about 90 NPCs (Ones I've made), but there are a number of consistent concurrent ones that cause me to think that the preset have some sort of coding that results in their appearances more. Maybe like a priority list.
What ive noticed is that when you give them certian clothing/equippables, there seems to be a certian "level". As in higher quality gear spawns them more towards the higher levels. Ive tested this very briefly and found that giving your NPCs the "low quality" option gear/clothing will most likely spawn them around the Level 5 to Level 9 mark. It might be deeper and perhaps everything has certian values that effect at what level your NPCs spawn, but from what i can tell its linked to what your give them.
This is just a personal theory, but I think your character's name might act as a seed or one is generated upon character creation as certain characters ive made seem to have more npcs spawn in the world than others.
game is pretty fun and has a cute style. a few issues being npc will get stuck in places trying to run after each other when stuck in like a hole. animations for M x M look like they are penetrating under the balls instead of where it should. would recommend making a anal receiving animation to have a more correct looking animation. npc can be attacked by enemies and have no way to defend themselves would be probably a good idea for them to have weapon of decent quality which would also make a challenge for doing like a genocide run or something since i noticed you can hit npcs.
Considering the whole situation with Itch and Steam, I thought I'd point out something. GOG seems pretty supportive of adult games. They're talking about how their games are DRM free and owned forever, they were pushing back against the situation, and I saw that for two days they were offering NSFW games for free, including the very popular Sapphire Safari. It could be that they're just using the situation for PR, but I see that they actually have a lot of NSFW games on their store. And I think they allow Early Access.
I wish there was like a pinned statement or something on here, but essentially Steam removed it under allegations of some sort from what I've heard by word of mouth. The game got delisted and, as far as I know, can't be put back up.
"Optimizing Jiggle Physics" was not on my bingo card, but it is hilarious realizing that's something that actually does need to be done in games like this.
All I can do is wish this game the best. if it does get removed, maybe an official discord could be made and the game could be sold as a MEGA access key or something of that sort. just a emergency backup plan.
There is a discord, it's just not publicly advertised for per se? It's only accessible via patronage to the patron, which is for the fact that it covers all of RalivDev's projects as I understand it.
no game is safe since the world now knows they can control the payment companies recommend finding somewhere safe to archive or continue development steam isn't as safe anymore

RaliivDev has officially confirmed on the discord that the game is abandonware and is now focusing on the next project, so don't expect any updates.
If this is true, that is incredibly disappointing... still, I wish him the best and hope that whatever project he pursues is something he enjoys if he is no longer working on 1.0.
I honestly dont believe in what they are saying, since they are not the dev.
Honestly, now that I've had longer to think about it, I'm not really sure. It's hard to know what's real and what isn't when the discord isn't public, and there isn't another source to receive update information.
They have abandoned their last two games counting this one. Chastity catastrophe got an update just big enough to not get the abandoned tag. No content though. That burned my trust.
that really sucks... hopefully they can finish projects. I usually love supporting independent works, and I dont mind waiting until they are finished as long as they are being worked on. Really makes me feel like I wasted money on a project that was never gonna be completed. I understand you, that would burn my trust too.
Next game is called project creauture town.
I guess we wait till that game is getting work on and show us some screenshots and updates about creautre town is going to be about
If that's true I'm certainly not buying anything else they make until it's complete.
It's true. Here's a screenshot of what got said in the Discord, that got shared with me. I really wish Raliv would've said something publicly. It's not helpful to keep it behind a paywall.
Can someone explain to Raliv that if he wants funding that he needs to do some marketing? I would assume him abandoning Archipelagates is going to have him lose subscribers, starting a new project just is just going to have the same outcome without anything to fix the problems he ran into.
You are 100% correct. People subscribed and supported him because they enjoyed the game he created, and even I was thinking about throwing some more cash his way if he was going to continue development. All this does, and rightfully so, is cause people to doubt he can ever finish a project he starts. Not to mention, making the discord and the games update announcements exclusive to patreons alienates his fan base. Marketing is vital for independent projects like these, and not commiting to it or even keeping your community up to date is a major red flag. Hope Raliv can realize this. I wont deny the obvious fact that the game not releasing on steam hurt the launch, because im sure it did. However, at that point I think Raliv either needed to cancel this version of the game, rebrand it, and try to get it on steam again, or they needed to scrap the project and move on to a new game where it could get a steam launch. I think why people are so upset is simply promises not being delivered, and majorly, a lack of communication.
To be fair, that doesn't say they're ending development permanently. Just they can't continue right now.
That's true enough, but it doesn't remove my (or others) feelings on that they should've said something.
Yes, you are correct about that, but given the history others are saying he has with finishing games, you cant expect people not to have concerns he wont abandon this project. Dont get me wrong, I love the games he's made, but it is concerning he didnt announce it publicly.

false, they said its on hold till they have the funds to be able to finish it

awesome game so far, cant wait to see what the future has in store. aside from itch, will there be a patreon or discord to give support?
That game really can give a lot possyble to make different's kink. Even ntr. Hope dev add something like relatenship system with npc and important characters too.
I like that i can made femboy character, thack u dev!
Game really have big porencial, need improve battle, for example off npc can atack each other. because now even if they try help they atack each other and palyer... Or i can attack them and they hate me after that and try kill.. That game also need add companion system, to ask someone walk with you for helpng in fight or help them meet other npc for FUN if you know what i mean. Also for smol pp if you make smol pp then sex not looks properly, need fix that.
Cool game, but my potato laptop even not can work with that game on low normal. :D
Can npc have sex with others?
Yes.
can we make our char a human?
Will there be enemies that will pin donw and fuck the player? and if yes will they be customisable?
I could be wrong about this, but I believe it was said in the past that there won't be non-con.
it has been said there will not be any non con content, if you want that there is another game that is completely free to play called BDCC.
hope your okay!
Raliv how are you? Is everything working out? Haven't heard from you in a long time

This is hilarious to me in concept. Just little blips of noises? Like the "eh" "ah" "oh" of Tom Nook?
bro hit that "be be ba be bo ba.... ba ba ba BAAAA.... bedo <3"
I mean what are the other options? Ai generated trash? Or no voices or sounds at all?
That was just my idea, unless they have people lined up to do something. No voices is alright, but no sounds in general seems boring.
I feel you. I think animal-crossing like noises would be cute.
Isn't Animal Crossing's voices just very sped up of normal text?
I mean when they try say your character's name they can say it very clearly, but its sped up

Great game so far!

Might wanna read the hole log on Patch 0.11 log post.
https://ralivdev.itch.io/archipelagates/devlog/969242/patch-011
But to sum it up, they going to be busy with the game til they can release 1.0
if this is really going to be 1.0 I'm not sure if this game will be good, it's too early.
there game lacks sounds, for pretty much everything, UI could be polished, right now feels simple, there's nothing cool about it it's just there, world generation could be improved, more structures, biomes etc, also could be bigger chunk based maybe or something to let the game run smoother with much bigger maps to explore.

at this point just wait and see. you cant force someone to cook, that's how u get shitty food.

Ask what it would take for features to be added, the time, sometimes cost, and what you'd need to do.

There's a lot that has to be done, a lot of stuff that takes time. Realistically, you're not going to get these features, that sometimes takes month to get right, out monthly or even consistently. Sometimes you're lucky if you get it out at all. Really, to me, the issue isn't it not getting out.

HI!!!11!1!! :)
Are you alive? :(
he is, he is currently scoping out the whole payment thing last i saw. With that as well he is ensuring the next update will function without bugs.
Are there plans for sound effects?
Will there be a android port?
I do want that but i think it's only windows only sadly 😥
Unfortunately not, I don't think I can get performance fast enough for a decent android port. I also have no experience developing or distributing for android I'm afraid.
Damn
Rlly hoping for a android since by the looks of it,It has potential

Also you're free to ask any question about the game itself or just talk. a some people will probably answer pretty fast.
Also just incase anyone reads this, I still accept requests if you want some character that is not yet in the preset channel to be created and want me to do it! There are around 10 titled preset creators, and almost all of us have some differences in creating presets.
I'm SugarySarsparills, and this is my favorite public server on the Archipelagates itch.io homepage.
great place for presets, with ONE mod for the game last i saw. I personally not a fan of the mod but i do enjoy the server for presets!
In fairness, Dragauka originally had 3 separate mods before they merged them into one rather than deal with a mod loader.
Um, did RalivDev delete the link to the Discord im hosting?
idk
It probably got marked as spam.
I didn't delete it. It might have been removed by some sort of auto moderation.
I hope sfx for sex events are added soo
Would want voice acting, but some plapping noises could be nice.
64 days without any update i hope raliv is okay there
Considering they said they are trying to make the leap to 1.0, I feel like it'll be a while. Of course I hope there will be some other updates, but that's what RalivDev said if my memory serves.
Im not gonna ask for game updates, but letting us know with just some text updates would be good at keeping the community feeling fresh.
Pretty sure they're working on another game rn, so once that comes out more updates for archi will probably come out.
If thats true, then why have we not heard anything about that "other game".
If there is no proof about it, then its obvious they only focusing on their main game only. (Plus it does not make sense for them to make a other game with no info about it or it not being on Itch.io)
SOON tm
or so ive heard
Would we ever possibly get new hairstyles for the elves? Maybe tails too, to make them like goblins? I like them, theyre just a little bland.
any chance we’re getting a “urinate” option? i’d love to see my character relieve their bladder on an unsuspecting tree!
The tree knows your sin.
says the one who's playing furry porn game, don't be judgmental of people. Hypocrite.
Forgot to ever follow up on this after my joke response.
I think there's a very low chance we'll see any appeal to niche fetishes or ones that depict such bodily-waste functions. Not in this game, at least, I'm not sure if it'd even be something you'd find on itch.io to be honest. It's not only niche, but also has a lot of disfavor laid upon it for the fact that it's considered "gross" by most people due to the fact it's unsanitary and so forth. Sex is already considered degenerate to a degree by more holier-than-thou types, and adding on urination would probably end in the immediate burial for indie games on most platforms like Itch.io, especially with the rounds that card companies are making.
Also, the tree knows your sin.
also, Zaato if you said anything in your own mind, other than "ok that's fine", then that would make you a hypocrite as well. not to mention im my personal opinion the use of "hypocrite" is worthless. if someone voices there opinion and someone disagrees, that makes them a hypocrite but whoever called them out is also voicing there opinion, making them a hypocrite.
I just think that we have the ability to voice our own opinions and ideas. And if people don't agree, they have that right. and if you cant deal with people judging your opinion, than don't make it public and go straight to the dev.
you can't honestly sit there and agree with every form of "desire". what of scat, gore, mutilation, diaper, and so on. unless you enjoy it yourself then i highly doubt you can agree with it casually.
and, the tree knows of your sins.
yo all i said is i wanna be able to take a piss i aint mean to start all this mb yall lmaooo
Hello. Can you add more optimization options in settings? I wanted to play this game but it lags a lot. I hope with optimization itll run better.
An optimization to jiggle physics is on the way. This should improve CPU performance, and hopefully will be noticeable to most users
I got a question concerning the premade NPCs, because it seems like there are patterns to their spawns. When I am out on the islands, I almost always run into Dusk and Razor at some point. They turn up with much greater frequency than any of the other NPCs, and they're almost always together. When they're not together, they're wandering around the island alone rather than being in a group with other NPCs. Is there something to this observation, or is it just a coincidence?
I also noticed this for a while. I have about 90 NPCs (Ones I've made), but there are a number of consistent concurrent ones that cause me to think that the preset have some sort of coding that results in their appearances more. Maybe like a priority list.
What ive noticed is that when you give them certian clothing/equippables, there seems to be a certian "level". As in higher quality gear spawns them more towards the higher levels.
Ive tested this very briefly and found that giving your NPCs the "low quality" option gear/clothing will most likely spawn them around the Level 5 to Level 9 mark.
It might be deeper and perhaps everything has certian values that effect at what level your NPCs spawn, but from what i can tell its linked to what your give them.
Maybe there should be the toggleable option of random equipment? So that the NPCs can spawn whenever with appropriate gear.
This is just a personal theory, but I think your character's name might act as a seed or one is generated upon character creation as certain characters ive made seem to have more npcs spawn in the world than others.
Looks interesting, keeping an eye out for this game once the 1.0 release comes around. Fingers crossed Itch doesn't do anything stupid.
Haven't seen anything about it or I may have missed it, but is there any futa content, or are there plans to add it in?
there is, kinda amazed there's not any in the screenshots.
Ooh aight sweet, that's good to know. Thanks!
game is pretty fun and has a cute style. a few issues being npc will get stuck in places trying to run after each other when stuck in like a hole. animations for M x M look like they are penetrating under the balls instead of where it should. would recommend making a anal receiving animation to have a more correct looking animation. npc can be attacked by enemies and have no way to defend themselves would be probably a good idea for them to have weapon of decent quality which would also make a challenge for doing like a genocide run or something since i noticed you can hit npcs.
Considering the whole situation with Itch and Steam, I thought I'd point out something. GOG seems pretty supportive of adult games. They're talking about how their games are DRM free and owned forever, they were pushing back against the situation, and I saw that for two days they were offering NSFW games for free, including the very popular Sapphire Safari. It could be that they're just using the situation for PR, but I see that they actually have a lot of NSFW games on their store. And I think they allow Early Access.
I don't suppose this is coming to Steam any time soon-
I wish there was like a pinned statement or something on here, but essentially Steam removed it under allegations of some sort from what I've heard by word of mouth. The game got delisted and, as far as I know, can't be put back up.
I haven't seen Raliv say anything about what's going on, anyone got insight on how they're doing?
Thanks for thinking about me. I'm doing ok, but things are really uncertain with the Itch delistings. I still don't know what to expect.
I am currently working on optimizing jiggle physics since it will be a useful task regardless of the outcome of all of this censorship uncertainty.
I know it isn't exactly what a lot of folks want to hear, but a performance boost will be nice!
"Optimizing Jiggle Physics" was not on my bingo card, but it is hilarious realizing that's something that actually does need to be done in games like this.
Glad to hear you're doing ok. Hope things go well and that the only things you gotta worry about is the jiggle optimization!
I need an "optimizing jiggle physics" snippet in a games world creation loading bar
All I can do is wish this game the best. if it does get removed, maybe an official discord could be made and the game could be sold as a MEGA access key or something of that sort. just a emergency backup plan.
There is a discord, it's just not publicly advertised for per se? It's only accessible via patronage to the patron, which is for the fact that it covers all of RalivDev's projects as I understand it.
ah ok thanks <3
no game is safe since the world now knows they can control the payment companies recommend finding somewhere safe to archive or continue development steam isn't as safe anymore
oh my god its still up thank god
