You guys need to make the camera an auto focus one. Without the tutorial available it's been a pain trying to see if mouse or controller is the better choice for your game.
The camera does auto focus, we made it slow for game balancing reasons as upgrades will make it faster. Tutorials are coming later once we get closer to having the beta ready for public.
Itch does not support Adult games so we cannot offer the same payment options as others. We will be releasing on Steam hopefully before the years end. Please wait for that.
All our stores are independent of each other, if you'd like to have the game on Steam you will need to purchase it from that store once it is made available.
Can you already release the game in steam with a postscript in early access? Steam is the only way to buy for many, because of the curve of the itch.io payment systems
Once we are in a more polished state yes, we are aiming for sometime this year, we just need to dodge around a few major releases like Starfield and others.
As I mentioned in the blog post, we will have a new version of the game which is open-world, it will include (hopefully) three new monster girls: a fox, a sheep, and a lizard.
Downloaded the latest version and the game is... kind of messy. Which can probably be expected in an early development state such as this. So for anyone who is new here, be aware of the following:
- no option to toggle between first and third person (third person only for now which leaves you with somewhat of a semi-blurry character taking up part of your view) - stealth/sneaking system doesn't really work so far, or not well at least - the mechanic to adjust focus manually is either not working at all or just really really bad at this point in time (or I'm too dumb) - autofocus takes some time, which is fine since it is a mechanism by the creators to prevent players from just running around no-scoping monster-girls... but during sex scenes the autofocus is... yikes; unless you look at the scene at just the right angle, it's extremely blurry - monster-girls and their actions in the photo don't get recognized; no matter what, quality is always F; so no way of doing quests/bounties like snapping a picture of a fleeing bun-bun
The general idea is great, the graphics are okay, the animations are okay-ish, but anything else still needs a lot of work. At this moment in time, the game feels not worth the $20 it usually costs nor the $15 it costs while it's on sale unless you feel really passionate about supporting the developers.
That is really the nature of super early development. All the systems you mentioned are WIP the only thing that is likely won't change going into the full release are the models.
Having said that, all the feedback you give is important to us, and part of the problem is making sure we have content to release every month is making things like the monster photo scoring thing fall through the cracks as it were. This is why v016 is going to take two months instead of one.
Thank you for sticking around, and thank you for taking the time to write us a comment. Know we are working hard to make Sapphire Safari the best it can possibly be, and I hope you stick around to see the final results.
*sigh* I can understand that. Developing a game is definitely not an easy task. And I apologize for my rather harsh tone in my initial comment, which I edited to be a little more factual and less hotheaded. Kudos to you for remaining so levelheaded ^^" Still, I don't feel like the price is adequate at this point - not that it matters to me after all this time.
And yes, of course I'll stick around to see where this goes. I'm curious about the final game, after all.
I always let folks know who are on the fence about purchasing right now, I consider this more a preorder with access to our builds than a full product release. Once we are on Steam and in the early access program there I will consider this a stable product. All payments help support our development, but always be mindful of what you purchase online.
So far the only issues I have are the lack of a tutorial, and having the penis clip through the body during certain combos. Such as the tiger and monkey. Other than that I can see a lot of promise.
The tutorials will come after we move into the next version of the game, as there is little point in making a tutorial if everything changes all the time. As for the clipping that is caused by monster girls being all different sizes, we will be changing that as well in v016. Check out the latest blog post for more information on both!
So when the launcher got added my game has been wayyyy too laggy, i liked how it was before if there could be 2 choices of downloading it from the zip file instead of using the launcher is that possible?? Because when i downloaded it from the zip which had the game and ect ect i never rlly lagged as much as to where now with the launcher im lagging a loooot and can't do stuff
No i only have the game running and im not using any old save lol i started fresh and idk what it is but i started lagging wayyyy worse when the launcher came out...i like the old one maybe an option (moreso a suggestion) for both? If possible
There is no could in there, the installer just puts the zip in a spot registered on the PC, using future installers will remove the old version and place the new files in the same spot. That is all it does. The game files between the zip and installer are identical.
is there any updates regarding Linux? I am trying to run this on the steam deck and i got one window regarding resolution and now i just get black screen even after reinstalling.
We cannot test on Linux as we are all Windows users except for our lead animator. When it comes to distros we can verify it can be run in its current state. As for Steam Deck, it's not something we are supporting until we are on Steam later this year.
Not sure what you're talking about. V015 changes how it is installed and tracked by windows. The only thing we don't have is a registered device signature.
Yeh the signature is probably why it shows up the way it does (unsafe windows program etc) no issues running it once installed though pretty good update though also more system draw so it equals out.
Hey I can't buy your game. It says all of my cards are declined but they work when buying other games on here. I don't know what the problem is and I've tried contacting people but no one will get back to me. Any help will be appreciated.
Our company is based in Poland. Your bank needs you to okay that you want this transaction. Sorry, this happens when Itch does not want to work with us because we make porn.
Love the game so far but i will say the camera focus can be quite difficult to get rid of even if you are standing still it can take quite a while to focus and sometimes it doesn't even focus. don't know if im doing something wrong or not.
Aye thanks for the feedback, it is something we are always touching on as the focus is kinda there as a gameplay element to slow the player down a little. otherwise you'll be no scoping monster girls as you run past em.
We wanna make it fun, easy to use, and strategic. It also needs to always produce good quality photos.
where it's suppose to say the key to throw the stone, it's just a white square like it's unbind but there's no setting about changing the key for throwing stones
I wonder if some kind of character customizer will be added into the far future of the game. I know its probably not in the talks as of now but it would be a cool concept to see in the future. Great game.
Nothing to the extent where you're changing the characters, however we will have attachments and clothing unlocks for them as you explore and find these items.
We are still working on the game. It's very early in development. For now just enjoy the environment and the monster girls. Actual gameplay will be developed over the next couple of patches.
The stone throw is accessed with the Q button. This will swap what is in your left hand.
The scene cannot be accessed traditionally in v014 but the girls will have spots around the waterfall they can enter the animations in. The next build we have have ways to force animations on the monster girl of your choosing.
Just to be 100% sure as it's happened before. Have you correctly exported the game from the zip folder? The game needs to be run from a standard folder.
is the third picture showing off images for the game. like is the third one malo from scp? cause it looks like her to me and if it is well whenever i can get this game i'm sure as hell playing it that's for sure plus malo is my favorite scp as well hehe
Aye, we are working on that. First we wanna build the tech needed for the open world sandbox (random monster sexing and other events), then it's side missions and collectables, then it's the main mission tech and narrative components.

so I can't buy the game with paypal and I don't have a credit card...how am i supposed to play?
Itch does not support Adult games so we cannot offer the same payment options as others. We will be releasing on Steam hopefully before the years end. Please wait for that.
Is there a way to buy this game in Russia?
Credit Card is the only way to purchase at the moment.
а когда она выйдет в steam?
Hopefully by the end of the year. But basically when we feel it's ready.
просто купить мне модно её тока в стиме а по карте ошибка из за того , что я Россиянин
Contact your bank to approve the transaction.
там пишет ошибка выбора набора цифр карты она не принимает карты со стороны России (
Okay, that seems like a Stripe issue as that is who is handling our credit card transactions.
Will it be possible to get a key to the Steam version or buy separately?
All our stores are independent of each other, if you'd like to have the game on Steam you will need to purchase it from that store once it is made available.
Thx

I feel the leveling up for the creatures very hard to do.
It is not fully implemented yet, so it is not feeling as it should. We are working on it thought!
Is there a way to switch back to first person?
There are none. No plans for it either.
Couldn't tell you the full number. We will keep adding them until we feel like we have a good number. Maybe 5 or 6 per biome. Not sure.
As I mentioned in the blog post, we will have a new version of the game which is open-world, it will include (hopefully) three new monster girls: a fox, a sheep, and a lizard.
I reached the full bar of famiriarity with some monsters but they still fearfull, its a bug or im missing something?
That functionality is still in development, it is tied to the AI systems which will be upgraded in v016 and v017.
Downloaded the latest version and the game is... kind of messy.
Which can probably be expected in an early development state such as this. So for anyone who is new here, be aware of the following:
- no option to toggle between first and third person (third person only for now which leaves you with somewhat of a semi-blurry character taking up part of your view)

Oh guess I should have looked first. Sorry. Thanks though.
So when the launcher got added my game has been wayyyy too laggy, i liked how it was before if there could be 2 choices of downloading it from the zip file instead of using the launcher is that possible?? Because when i downloaded it from the zip which had the game and ect ect i never rlly lagged as much as to where now with the launcher im lagging a loooot and can't do stuff
The launcher won't affect the game at all. It just installs it correctly on the PC. Are you running anything new in the background or something?
No i only have the game running and im not using any old save lol i started fresh and idk what it is but i started lagging wayyyy worse when the launcher came out...i like the old one maybe an option (moreso a suggestion) for both? If possible
I'll see what I can do. But I can tell you now, the ZIP or the Installer, it won't change your performance at all.
You could be right but from my experience I never rlly lagged as bad with the zip
There is no could in there, the installer just puts the zip in a spot registered on the PC, using future installers will remove the old version and place the new files in the same spot. That is all it does. The game files between the zip and installer are identical.

when I load into the map, I get error code "HUNG". Is this a hardware problem or a bug? (if bug can I fix it?)
Please join our Discord so we can get more information from you about the specifics of your issue.
Hey i cant place or edit any dolls btw. Im playing the latest version.
Use the lust bomb and throw it at the monster girl you like. She will setup her own doll pose which you can join in on by entering the hologram.
Is version 15 windows compromised? v14 never gave me so many warnings before v15 what did you change?
Not sure what you're talking about. V015 changes how it is installed and tracked by windows. The only thing we don't have is a registered device signature.
Yeh the signature is probably why it shows up the way it does (unsafe windows program etc) no issues running it once installed though pretty good update though also more system draw so it equals out.

Ah okay I thought it was something like that

We will get there eventually.
is there no way to play in first person now, i kind of liked it better.
not anymore, its one or the other atm
Is there a tutorial/guide available to the game? I am a little confused when it comes to general goals and the rock tool.
Not at the moment due to things changing so quickly. After or around v016 (two patches from now) it will be a focus.
Maybe a demo
Not atm, maybe in the future.
Ight
Have an issue with 014 where I'm not able to throw stones or get into sex scenes
The sex scene stuff will come in the next patch in a week or so. Can you describe the stone issue in more detail?
where it's suppose to say the key to throw the stone, it's just a white square like it's unbind but there's no setting about changing the key for throwing stones
What was the last version of the game you played?
v014
So you will need to delete your entire save folder to get it working as intended. Sometimes it has that effect on older saves.
C:\Users\[yourusername]\AppData\Local\SapphireSafari
Just delete the folder called "Saved" and restart the game.
trying to boot up game i get a run time error d3d device missing code.
any help appreciated.
Are you running it from the ZIP file or did you export it to a new folder first?
I exported it first
what is your system configuration?
this game seems nice but i cant afford it just yet so i will wait for now lol
I wonder if some kind of character customizer will be added into the far future of the game. I know its probably not in the talks as of now but it would be a cool concept to see in the future. Great game.
Nothing to the extent where you're changing the characters, however we will have attachments and clothing unlocks for them as you explore and find these items.
i am so confused help i have no idea what im supposed to do
We are still working on the game. It's very early in development. For now just enjoy the environment and the monster girls. Actual gameplay will be developed over the next couple of patches.
I can not access the game on my laptop.
Is it your first time running it? What is the specs of the laptop?
The stone throw is accessed with the Q button. This will swap what is in your left hand.
The scene cannot be accessed traditionally in v014 but the girls will have spots around the waterfall they can enter the animations in. The next build we have have ways to force animations on the monster girl of your choosing.
How can I update to 0.14 please :) ?
Just download the new zip.
Thanks for your answer
Just curious, will the price increase once it comes out of Early Access?
Yep, we have it discounted for early adopters. So when we come to steam it will be a little more expensive, and the full release will be $19.99 USD.
All I get is a black screen on start up
Dunno how that would be possible. Can you please post your hardware configuration?
alright heres my main components
i7 10700k
RTX 3070
32GB of Ram
Ryzen 9 7950X3D
Radeon 7900 XTX
192GB DDR5 5200mhz
Have the same issue here.
Just to be 100% sure as it's happened before. Have you correctly exported the game from the zip folder? The game needs to be run from a standard folder.
The file was properly exported, I’m sure about that.
is the third picture showing off images for the game. like is the third one malo from scp? cause it looks like her to me and if it is well whenever i can get this game i'm sure as hell playing it that's for sure plus malo is my favorite scp as well hehe
Yeah she is in the game. We call her skully though.
nice to know my favorite scp is in the game hehe nice nickname you gave her btw can't wait to play the game when i can afford it as well hehe
Ill gift it to you
oh thanks
Look at this champion.
agreed
I can't seem to get anyone past fearful or have sex with them
Yep, its a in progress feature. Coming soon.
so does that mean i can't have sex with anyone yet, playing dude with no futas
Not just yet, we are working on it though!
can i buy it whit paypal also ?
no you cannot...
Paypal does not want to work with us, the same goes for itch payments as well.
I already bought this but I can't find the download files anymore
Check your library or contact itch support. We cannot help you out with site functions too much.
how do you get followers?
That is an old function we are moving out of the game. The next patch will bring more sex content for everyone.
My camera recognition is not working on the animals, and when it works the square appears floating in anything else but the animal. Can you help?
Yes on my game that is also happening pls help
If you're talking about the square to show what is being focused on, its a known bug atm that we will address soon.
I know that inheat has a reference or two and the inheat visual novel as well. Is there any others I am not aware of?
I have a question I can't seem to download the new In Heat game do you mind helping me
Early build but ohwell its decent mostly just run around like a mad monkee taking pictures can't do much else at the moment
Aye, we are working on that. First we wanna build the tech needed for the open world sandbox (random monster sexing and other events), then it's side missions and collectables, then it's the main mission tech and narrative components.
So we got a little ways to go.
