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! :)
I was wondering if that was going to be fixed today, wonderful! though in the mean time I've made and saved a few characters to use thanks to that bug.
Thank you!! I have some suspicions, but it may take a while to investigate.. I hope it clears up for you in game. The character build system works overtime in character create so there is a chance it won't be bad in game.
I just recently found this game through Discord on Gator Dragon Games. I'm glad I did, I'm in love with the fact I can wall jump and air dash and the Idle animation is great too. 😍 I look forward to what is to come with the future updates!
I hope more body patterns will be added for the dragons that include body plating and some for the tail itself.
Add a dye and an armor to a dye station (randomly found in structures) to color it. The system is simple at the moment though and not every clothing item works.
do you plan to add a feature to make the characters you create be in the town for the player to interract with or the possibility to create custom travellers/bandits at some point ? because you have such a great character creator that it would be a shame not to capitalize on it :)
I actually wish some of the interactions lasted a little longer, considering you can jump cancel out of animations its not like you'd be locked in if an enemy came up
is this coming to steam and if so will we get steam keys for it? this is kinda a down the line idea but i would love to see workshop items for this game. assuming there would even be a community that wanted to mod this lovely game.
Actually like how the game is so far, looking forword to the next update and whats to come! Hoping to see more content and possiblity of different species to choose beides the three we already have? <3
Hey Raliv, it's me Zenta! Downloaded the itch app just to get updates to Archipelagates automatically. How do I know when the game has updated? Will it let me know?
If you have the Itch app it will just auto update like steam does! I will also update the page here with patch notes. It updates pretty silently though, so I am not sure what the best way to announce updates is..
I will definitely announce on Twitter and update the page here though!
are the normal NPC's supposed to attack you if you kill/defend youself agains the dead? also i wish we had more emots not even like just more differences but like a different animation for each emote option randomly. if that makes sense
NPCs are too quick to get angry right now, I'll be dialing that back in an update. More emotes are planned too. I like the idea of randomly chosen variants!
The biggest thing this is missing is polish around town and more content in general as you mentioned. I haven't encountered any (obvious) bugs, which is really surprising for a new release, and the game is fun to play even without the nsfw. Exploration is good, weapon & clothing variety is at a good start, and the random little groups you find interacting give the game a bit of life that it wouldn't have otherwise.
If there's no public Discord server, could you at least give the people who bought the game some kind of discord access, no patron stuff access just this game.
if you can't make a public part of the discord, could you open a forums section on the itch page and possibly show bits of what you're working on here? the lack of update news on both the itch page and twitter bothers me just because there's literally no news at all since the release of the game on those places.
Real cool game with a lot of potential. Looking forward to future versions! That being said, at it's current state, it is not worth the price and is more viable as demo.
That's actually not true anymore, thankfully! According to a comment by Raliv, the issue that was keeping it from being on Steam has apparently been resolved!
Alright, but if I understood Steam's response right, they can't just resubmit the game now that the stuff's been fixed. That ban from Steam is permanent, for that game.
I was playing the game (ran as administrator) when the game soft-locked with a black screen. I thought it crashed as it did not load after 2 minutes, so i closed the game and started it back up. when I did, my characters were gone and it said
new game, continue, quit.
I thought it just deleted my saved character tch is no big deal, however, when making a new character and quitting, no save could be found and I couldn't click continue.
I tried uninstalling the game, deleting the files, and redownloading the zip files, but nothing changed. if anyone has any idea what is going on I would appreciate some assistance.
There is currently a bug where any one save file that is corrupted will cause no saves to load. It is fixed in the upcoming patch, but for now try moving your saves out of the directory and adding them back one by one to find the corrupted save. Sorry that's a pain, but it will be patched soon.
hey, no harm. it's part of the growth of early access. I'm just glad you were able to get something out. I've been keeping this gem of a game in the back of my mind for a while now.
bugs and all, it was worth the wait. great work and I can't wait to see what comes next. :D
yo, dis game is really fun! please keep updating it! i like the way the physics work, i like the ragdoll, the proceural animtinos, the difficulty meter for each level! would be nice to see more structures tho. just, good work team!
-Generation seems to give up on spawning merchants and crafting benches pretty quickly on. I never saw a single place to dye or add patterns to gear after my first teleport. Merchants I now see in like one in five islands.
-When I saved and quit and then reloaded my game, enemies no longer dropped keys. Ever. So now I am unable to open chests.
2. Tuning
-Armor and health upgrades seem kind of pointless since getting hit by anything generally equals death due to the ragdoll? You get flung off the cliff or lay on the ground while enemies wail on you, perhaps maybe evading just as you hit the ground will make you quick recover from a ragdoll or something?
-The only attack that doesn't ragdoll you, the fireball, is hideously overtuned with it's damage, getting by it always causes me to burn to death even while spamming cooked berries. IT also seems impossible to dodge? I'll get hit mid dash, the only way to deal with spellcasters is to rush them immediately or they one shot you.
-Enemies interrupt sex scenes like constantly, to the point where I just stopped doing it and started killing NPC's for their money instead, since it was too much work to coerce them. No matter how long I spent clearing the map, it just seemed like I'd miss one or two skeletons SOMEWHERE who would immediately show up to ruin the party as soon as I tried to do anything sexual, basically negating that entire section of the game for me. This wouldn't be so bad if skeletons didn't one shot NPC's, the NPC's are extremely incompetent at dealing with the skeletons. But also, for some reason killing a skeleton near them causes them all to go hostile to you, and they one shot you.
3. Personal requests:
-A way to edit your character appearance/go back to the character creator and customize your character again.
-A way to copy an items appearance onto another.
-Wands that have spells attached instead of it only being gloves.
-Being able to add berries/cooked berries to quick use slots.
on one of my first islands i once had like 5 shops. but yeah latter on they do become very rare. also i think keys stop generating after a certain level, I was able to find them after loading a game and going to a low level island (at least level 5), but i never find any after a certain level.
about the balance I've had almost the opposite experience. when you get ragdolled, enemies just stand around and wait for you to get back up. and I've found armor to be quite effective at reducing damage. a full set of armor dropped by enemies in the current level is usually sufficient at protecting you from being insta-killed, and some non-skeleton npcs can drop gear that is a bit higher level than the current area for lower level areas. you will eventually find shops, and when you do, they will usually sell gear that is stupid powerful for the area (even the shop in town can sell some strong gear for early levels). to the point that items in the current, and next areas are almost always worthless in comparison. also i end up accumulating loads of gold that i never end up using until the rare occasion I encounter a shop, where i usually have enough mid game to buy whatever I want.
Copy this Sites Link and Paste it on the Itchapp there should be an "Adressbar" when u browse. Secondly apprenatly the Random Generator can generate some Enemies that look to "Minor" for Steam at least thats what i heard.
"Hes been putting a lot of his time into this, and he was crushed when Steam removed his game. Turns out the randomization of the bandits can lead to some young looking people, and since bandits can fuck the character, its .. Well. You get the idea."
YA LO COMPRE ESPERO QUE LLEGUEN BUENAS COSAS MAS ADELANTE ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ cómo animaciones y también sonidos en las animaciones o diálogos no se me encanta el juego

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!!
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~
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.
This game shows extreme promise and I'm excited to see where you go with it! :)
hello i said for 12 days ago can u plz do a demo and no answare
i love the game but the field sex is to fast
Yea agreed.. It is getting slowed down in the patch
perhaps just adding a Climax button so you can choose to take longer or make it quick to move on?
How do you delete saves?
How do you Load Saves >.<
You are experiencing a game save bug.. The patch coming on the 3rd fixes it. Sorry!
i managed to resolve the issue, the first character i had was bugged so i just removed that one and it worked
I was wondering if that was going to be fixed today, wonderful! though in the mean time I've made and saved a few characters to use thanks to that bug.
#SilverLinings
real
There isn't currently an in game way. For now the saves exist in your appdata folder on windows and can be deleted there.
Paste the following into your file explorer to find the directory
%appdata%\..\LocalLow\RalivDev\Archipelagates\saves
I see thank you
Experiencing massive lag in the character creator
I haven't seen this reported before. Does it lag in game? What kind of hardware are you running it on?
5700XT+3700X, 32GB Ram on Windows 10. Forgot to mention that its not all the time, will sometimes move very smoothly when tabbing back into the game.
Have yet to proceed fully into the game just yet, but will let you know if any other issues arise.
Thank you!! I have some suspicions, but it may take a while to investigate.. I hope it clears up for you in game. The character build system works overtime in character create so there is a chance it won't be bad in game.
I just recently found this game through Discord on Gator Dragon Games. I'm glad I did, I'm in love with the fact I can wall jump and air dash and the Idle animation is great too. 😍 I look forward to what is to come with the future updates!
I hope more body patterns will be added for the dragons that include body plating and some for the tail itself.
Not a furry, but enjoying the simple gameplay loop. Can't wait to see later updates.
Question though: How do you use dyes?
Add a dye and an armor to a dye station (randomly found in structures) to color it. The system is simple at the moment though and not every clothing item works.
Are there any posts showing what's in the next update?
When is the new update?
The update will be coming out may 3rd
Whats goin in on the new update
do you plan to add a feature to make the characters you create be in the town for the player to interract with or the possibility to create custom travellers/bandits at some point ? because you have such a great character creator that it would be a shame not to capitalize on it :)
Not for the may 3rd update, but yes that is planned.
yes, it'll be so cool :) but first i can't wait for the 3rd of may to come.
Lets get this answered once and for all.
Is it "Archipelagates" or "Archipela Gates"?
Haha, its a play on the word archipelago (a group of islands) and gates (the portals).
Is there a wiki or somethin? Would like to know what to do with the cooking pot
put berries in it
I actually wish some of the interactions lasted a little longer, considering you can jump cancel out of animations its not like you'd be locked in if an enemy came up
is this coming to steam and if so will we get steam keys for it? this is kinda a down the line idea but i would love to see workshop items for this game. assuming there would even be a community that wanted to mod this lovely game.

If there's no public Discord server, could you at least give the people who bought the game some kind of discord access, no patron stuff access just this game.
There is not really a mechanism for that to my knowledge.. But I understand your point. I'll consider opening a portion of the discord in the future.
if you can't make a public part of the discord, could you open a forums section on the itch page and possibly show bits of what you're working on here? the lack of update news on both the itch page and twitter bothers me just because there's literally no news at all since the release of the game on those places.

Can u plz do a demo
I live in south africa and 15 dollars is 290 rand so either i buy it on steam or i don't buy it ate all your thoughts
Unfortunately Archipelagates will never be released on Steam because of an issue during the review process. It will only be available on Itchio. :(
will fuck me or in south africa ma se poes
That's actually not true anymore, thankfully! According to a comment by Raliv, the issue that was keeping it from being on Steam has apparently been resolved!
Alright, but if I understood Steam's response right, they can't just resubmit the game now that the stuff's been fixed. That ban from Steam is permanent, for that game.
I'd certainly hope not!
Big issue and need help!

bugs and all, it was worth the wait. great work and I can't wait to see what comes next. :D
I will admit, I never had an issue like this in gaming, so I need a hand with moving my saves. do I find that data in:
Archipelagates_data > Managed
sorry to be a bother.
nvm I found it.
How did you find the .save(s) files? And what is the folder or files name?
Heya, I had the same question and I did some digging and found it out!
The saves are in your AppData Folder:
AppData\LocalLow\RalivDev\Archipelagates\saves
yo, dis game is really fun! please keep updating it! i like the way the physics work, i like the ragdoll, the proceural animtinos, the difficulty meter for each level! would be nice to see more structures tho. just, good work team!

Where can I see the controls
Is there a discord server for this game? I'd love to join it to keep up with your work, as well as chat with a lil community <33
Oh, also, this game friggin rocks. I can't wait to see where this'll go :3
Pretty sure the discord is patron only as far as I know
Aaah, yeah, that's fair!
One more thing did this game got remove off of Steam if so plesses tell me what happed to it that all and also I can find the game on Itch app help.
Copy this Sites Link and Paste it on the Itchapp there should be an "Adressbar" when u browse. Secondly apprenatly the Random Generator can generate some Enemies that look to "Minor" for Steam at least thats what i heard.
what random generator? all the non-skeleton npcs I've encountered have been presets.
"Hes been putting a lot of his time into this, and he was crushed when Steam removed his game. Turns out the randomization of the bandits can lead to some young looking people, and since bandits can fuck the character, its .. Well. You get the idea."
Qouted from a Forum post.
The issue described has been fixed
It's honestly really good already
Dose this game even eisxt because when I type it in it dose,innt show up
show plesse tell me if this game exsit thanks.
It does, bought It a few hours ago and I've really been enjoying It.
