It would have to be peer-to-peer player-hosted. Adding server and net code to the project would not be a simple task for a game where it was not originally planned.
I know it's something to do with fluids, so likely cum graphics/physics and some other little things. The fluid mechanisms are part of what's holding up the update.
Because, as usual, I'm waiting impatiently for the next update because the game, as I mentioned before, is cool and unique, I haven't played another game like this before. In general, this question will be something like surprise sex or rape in the future?
This game is a LOT of fun! I'm very excited for future updates.
Desperately hoping for some sort of breeding mechanic further down the road. Wish I knew anything about game development, 'cause I'd love to volunteer to help. ♥ Solo dev is kicking ass.
Dear Raliv, please drink water. Don't forget to stand up and stretch. And please, for the love of all gooners, get some sleep. The goons can wait. ♥
TLDR at end curious to ask if there will be any vore options added to the game, as the breeding / preg idea is great though have been curious if there's any people wanting vore in the game? Just asking as i really love the game so far but there isn't much story yet besides the "get money for X upgrade/item" but the idea of gathering funds to expand / improve the 'town' and see new faces. the idea of the town island expanding the more you play comes to my mind but i know the dev's/dev have a lot on their plate already
TLDR: i was curious if anyone has asked if there's going to be vore added to the game, and i was curious if the main 'town' will be expanded upon in the future the more you play as there's not much to do after buying all the upgrades to your home.
Edit 10/24/24: Jesus i wrote this yesterday only to come back and see a -10 rateing and all i did was ask a question and give some idea's that i thought would help the game. I don't know how many dev's are working on the game i only wrote down some ideas that came to my mind whilst playing the game and a question i was asked by someone i showed the game too via discord screen share, I guess there's a lot of people who either hate vore or hate the idea's i've wrote down i just didn't expect to hit -10 so quickly =.=
Haha wow, sorry about your negative votes. I hope you don't take it too personally, vore is a pretty niche interest, and people tend to either really like it or really dislike it I suppose.
I won't be able to add any vore content to this game, but depending on the future game I would not be opposed to it so long as players had a choice in whether or not to seek it. It's also pretty technically difficult to do well, so it is a bit out of scope this time.
(It is also not an interest of mine personally, so it doesn't tend to get top priority)
hopefully at least we could probably see a vore mod in the future cause there already a hyper growth mod so vore probably will be a mod soon enough at least
I've had it on my to-do list to make a roadmap for some time, but haven't gotten around to it. I have the major systems pretty much where I want them, and hope to mostly add more content now (apart from the fluid system coming next patch).
I personally quite like that idea actually, gives you the time to do what you need to do with hopefully some less pressure. And add what you can and want if any. Sometimes things dont go as you hope afterall.
We all appreciate your hardwork. And those of us who keep track of the gaming industry know tight deadlines make bad games. Take your time to do it right. A good game later is much better than a bad game now.
Take all the time you need! I think most of us would prefer a more polished outcome at a later date than you stressing yourself to meet a deadline. Deadlines in videogames just make for bad games.
Unity crashes that aren't widespread are usually due to needing a windows update or a graphics drivers update. Try those and see if it clears up the issue.
fr and its funny how they been doing it all by themselves all this time. its crazy how the game is good even now, i cant imagine what it could be when it will be finished(even if they abandon it, still would probably be one of the best games out there)
I can't say more for future scenes than that I liked the energy and eagerness of the crazy Girl in the village, that scene. I have no idea how I might want that to translate to other stuff here and there.
Seems like the old message was saved here for some reason.
Well after reading another comment I wanted a way to redo the existing character at a later point to fix things for example and if there are really interessting NPC I suddenly got the idea to invite them to the Village or your home.
This might be unrealistic but I liked the idea. This was a vacation night with some drinks you could say so if anything is weird just ask later please.
back before I had an idea that NPCs who die would change into the spooky boyz soon after allowing for more enemy variety. but bone dogs would be cool to since they could be much faster.
The project is super! everything is pleasant to the eye and so soft! But I would like to display sperm on characters with the accumulation effect, as well as the level of sperm filling of the main character, for example, to display it in the interface. Well, more of a character editor!! And also, know that you're super!!
read my below comment. "won't be for a couple of weeks I'm afraid" 5 days ago. I'm hopeful for sooner but I imagine the dev has much more of an idea about timeframe than I do.
"It has become clear that the delay is going to be longer than I thought. I am at work optimizing the fluid system to make sure it doesn't reduce framerates. The patch will be worth it when it does drop, but it wont be for a couple of weeks I'm afraid.
and my personal note is: a hard deadline of "every month on day x" is rough, don't let it become a chore pls, been goonin since flash days and would hate to see this dropped
Hey man, don't stress! We completely understand. We would rather you take your time to make the game as perfect and satisfactory to you as can be rather than rush it out due to pressure and be unhappy with the result. Your updates have been awesome, and I look forward to the next patch, as well as the future of this game! Keep up the great work Raliv!
To an extent, I agree; but perfectionism can be the death of a project. Better to forge ahead with imperfect but functional progress and keep on moving down the To Do list than take forever for things to be "just right" when it's still very much a beta product.
I understand your point of view, and I agree that too much "perfection" is a bad thing. However, striving for only satisfactory quality could also damage the creator's product. Like all things it's a balancing act :)
Yes. It's all about iteration. Implement a feature functionally but imperfectly, with ideas for improvement on a later second pass; then move on to the next line item while users try the new feature and provide feedback on how to improve it in ways you may not have considered if you'd just spent the extra time to polish it (and may have had to undo some wasted hard work). Then you come back to that feature with user feedback and requests, more experience from working on other aspects of the project, and fresh eyes to review past work under a critical lens.
This appears to be more or less what RalivDev is already doing; not rushing, but not getting overly fixated on the details.
First of all, I really enjoyed the game overall, but I would like to offer some ideas and suggestions for features that could be added to enrich the game even more.
Starting with the story: it's not very deep at the moment, it's quite shallow (which is understandable). If the dev wants to expand the story, they could explain what our character is, why they're there, and what happened before we ended up in the Archipelagates dimension.
Now, talking about the gameplay: it's good, but there's room for improvement. For example, the character animations could be made more fluid, or additional animations could be added for specific actions in the game. More varied facial expressions would also be a nice touch. Another interesting feature would be a climbing mechanic. Being able to climb certain areas would save players time from having to look for specific places to ascend.
I also believe balancing weapons, equipment, magic, and the market would be great to diversify builds. Adding more clothes and weapons would be cool for better character customization. On that note, character customization itself could be improved with more sliders, additional hairstyles, eye options, genitals, body paints, voices, walking styles, etc.
To further enrich the gameplay, I thought about quests, which I believe would help keep players more engaged. Let’s be honest, the available activities in the game can become repetitive or tedious over time. I’m not saying they’re bad, but adding quests, rewards, and such would make players more immersed and interested in playing for longer.
Regarding the graphics: personally, they don’t bother me; I find them quite nice. However, I feel the dev could optimize the effects and shaders better. It would also be great to add graphical settings in the menu, allowing players to adjust shadows, lighting, rendering, bloom, depth of field, FOV, anti-aliasing, etc.
I’ll wrap it up here. I didn’t include all my suggestions because I didn’t want to make this text too long. Just to be clear, I'm not trying to rush the dev or put any extra pressure on them. I’m simply sharing my thoughts on the game and offering ideas that could be added in future patches. The game has a lot of potential, and with a few improvements, it could become even more engaging and enjoyable for players.
I made a mod in the form of an xdelta patch file (159kb filesize). It adds a menu with sliders that control the growth rate of different body parts. When a player collects pink orbs/energy, they grow based off the sliders they set (arms, muscle, legs, etc.). Is it ok if I upload it here to itch under the game mods category with the name Archipelagates Growth Mod? The mod contains only the aforementioned patch file, no assets or anything like that.
Loving the game and definitely not making tons of NPCs in the creator. XD
My only real request is a bigger variety of creator options as there are a lot of times where I feel stuck because there are no marking or body part options that really work well. But baring adding options, the thing that would really be the best would be the ability to mix all the different body parts between all bodies. Like using an Elf face on a dragon body or give a canine body dragon horns, but especially allowing the canine and dragon bodies to use the elf hair and vise versa.
Other than that, the game is great and I look forward to seeing it get even better.
I understand. I don't want any features to be unavailable to future players though, so I won't be making anything early supporter exclusive (aside from being able to play now).
Hmmmm a excelent point. maybe a big tier ti have an oc (made in-engine character creator) a cameo/bit part as an npc?
ir early incintive content BUT when the game launches you charge a little extra for the game + old perks, so earlybirds get it free but it's something anyone can still get later?
ngl this game is peak although a few things i feel like missing.
an idea i had was to add 1st person view either to all the game or only the animations.|
-and the second idea is to add the hip control just like in kobold kare for example.
also if it was possible to mod this game or add animation creator where u could add ur own animations and send them to other ppl, it would be one hell of a upgrade.
(just a suggestion. also take ur time bro, we already learned not to rush things thanks to cyberpunk so now we will wait for the peak. take the time needed and even somemore if u want <3)
Unfortunately this month's update will be delayed by a few days. Hopefully it will be worth it though! Fluid tech has taken longer to implement than expected.
all good bro. a few questions if you have time. I believe you are doing this on your own or with a very small team. so are you having to learn fluids by hand? and if so, how much time do you dedicate throughout the week to this game?
I just want to know your thoughts and work ethics with small games like this, I feel like I can speak for the majority of us here that we get it. You are carrying everything on our back and all we want to do is support you. so there is no need to apologize. just keep us posted so we know that your ok and still attempting to make this work to the best of your ability. regardless of if you were to post every month, two months, or more, I know I and many of us will still be here waiting patiently for your efforts to come to fruition.

Maybe add footjob and titjob?
What about playing online with other users?Do you have any preferences about this?
it's not planned
It would have to be peer-to-peer player-hosted. Adding server and net code to the project would not be a simple task for a game where it was not originally planned.
"then make them do" lul. It's not your game, you can't demand things be added. You can suggest or ask, but that's about it.
maybe potions that give you hyper stuff temporarily lol
why is this being downvoted smh good idea
cause not everyone wants to see that stuff
so people get hated for suggestions now, wow.
i was referring to hyper not suggestion
any cumflation in the future?
Potentially, but not likely anything too extreme.
I'm excited for the upcoming update. anything you can tell us about whats to come?
I know it's something to do with fluids, so likely cum graphics/physics and some other little things. The fluid mechanisms are part of what's holding up the update.
ya, I remember. i was just courious about thee other stuff since reliv mentioned posting new stuff while still working on the fluids.
Do you know when the update will be available?
I'm aiming for this upcoming 3rd
Because, as usual, I'm waiting impatiently for the next update because the game, as I mentioned before, is cool and unique, I haven't played another game like this before.
In general, this question will be something like surprise sex or rape in the future?
There won't be any non consent in this game, sorry
i mean you can always pretend lol
consent is paramount
The dev does not owe you quickness. As far as I know this is a one person job. This is a lot for one person to work on alone.
Also just stop being fucking gross in this comment section fucking christ. Keep your shit to yourself.
What's the third thing?
My guess is 3rd of November
This game is a LOT of fun! I'm very excited for future updates.
Desperately hoping for some sort of breeding mechanic further down the road. Wish I knew anything about game development, 'cause I'd love to volunteer to help. ♥ Solo dev is kicking ass.

Those votes are all other community members and it's just RalivDev afaik with a little help from a friend here or there, maybe.

Are we possibly going to get a roadmap? Would be nice to see what we can look forward to
I've had it on my to-do list to make a roadmap for some time, but haven't gotten around to it. I have the major systems pretty much where I want them, and hope to mostly add more content now (apart from the fluid system coming next patch).
Add more sex positions
love the game so far just wondering if somewhere down the line are you going to add a pregnancy system like eggs ?
Please add smoothness and opacity sliders for clothing <3
I probably won't be able to do opacity with the current architecture, but I might be able to do some dyes with different smoothness.
That will be good enough ^^ Or make it a pattern instead of a dye. That would be amazing
RalivDev just needed some more weeks to get the next patch ready. I would say approximately 5-7 more days untill it is ready, may take longer tho.
My apologies, the fluid patch took longer than I anticipated. I might just end up adding more content and releasing it on the 3rd as usual.
I personally quite like that idea actually, gives you the time to do what you need to do with hopefully some less pressure. And add what you can and want if any. Sometimes things dont go as you hope afterall.
Good call!

learn to read previous comments, do research on other platforms and if there's no update it's just not ready yet so take a chill pill and wait...
Just bought the game but it keeps crashing on startup i get to the 18+ warning and it crashes unity?
Unity crashes that aren't widespread are usually due to needing a windows update or a graphics drivers update. Try those and see if it clears up the issue.
Mans really making one of the most anticipated erotic furry games.
Enjoy my $15
fr and its funny how they been doing it all by themselves all this time. its crazy how the game is good even now, i cant imagine what it could be when it will be finished(even if they abandon it, still would probably be one of the best games out there)
hope you're doing okay :)
Please add goats <3

Anyone play 0.1 patch
can we get a skull-dog or something I think it would be neat

Fluids are hard to get to behave, take your time, It'll be worth the wait.
will the game be available in the steam store?
no, if I remember correctly some complications forced them to drop the steam relise.
New update coming tomorrow????
Also I capped my FPS with RivaTuner, PC's running super cool when running this.

there's a mod page?!
I'll upload it for now, and promptly take it down if requested. Regardless, I'm very excited for the next patch!
How would i find it? I would love to mess with that mod.
It is currently up on itch under the "game mods" category. Titled "Archipelagates Growth Mod" and tagged adult.
I can't find the mod, or it was demolished or I'm doing something wrong
demo?
Looking forward to more updates
Game has a lot of potential. I think what would make it do really well is either a massive amount of customizability or the addition of mod support.
Is there a list of all the clothes and weapons in the game?
Not technically, but if you choose to create an NPC, you can look at all the equipment you can find in the game in the Equip Tab.
Loving the game and definitely not making tons of NPCs in the creator. XD
My only real request is a bigger variety of creator options as there are a lot of times where I feel stuck because there are no marking or body part options that really work well.

Other than that, the game is great and I look forward to seeing it get even better.
Ambitious, but so far so good by the looks of it! too early for me to hop on.
🤔 maybe throw some perks to early supporters to attract people on that fence of "wait and see" ?
food for thought?
Ganbatte kudasai.
I understand. I don't want any features to be unavailable to future players though, so I won't be making anything early supporter exclusive (aside from being able to play now).
Hmmmm a excelent point. maybe a big tier ti have an oc (made in-engine character creator) a cameo/bit part as an npc?
ir early incintive content BUT when the game launches you charge a little extra for the game + old perks, so earlybirds get it free but it's something anyone can still get later?

Thank you and everyone else for being so supportive! Y'all are great
love this game so far really fuckin good bones <3
Dude, take your time, there's no need to rush. Do it the right way, the way you want to do it.
