Bought this game 3 months ago and was gonna update it but i don't get a link to the new version, only to the v15 version from 96 days ago. What do I do
There is female on female, futa on male, futa on futa, male on female. There is only a handful of male characters, one of them is the player character.
Yeah it is but not only that I don't have pay pal or cash app so there's also that I'd love to see a WEB version or something like that but it's up to you I do like the design though your very talented I just wish I could download and play somehow
Hey there, thanks for taking the time to formulate your experience for us. It helps a lot to see what issues players are contending with so we can do our best to fix them.
So the first thing about your experience in the pre-alpha so far is the two major sticking points - retirement screen and the lust bomb system - both of these will no longer be in the game going forward from v016 onwards. Instead of the retirement screen, we will have an open-world submission system based on what regional towers you've unlocked, this means you can submit monpedia/quest/bounty photos way more frequently and with zero loading screens. With the lust bomb system, the issue is how the old sex system worked, which means in v016 there is a new sex system instead.
To iterate more on the lag issue you've been experiencing we believe it is tied to the number of actors on screen during v015 and we have begun to take measures into how we can best display the number of characters on screen that we want but keep lag to a minimum. This includes things like making sure the system is not spawning and unspawning girls all the time, and making better use of the characters currently in view. Stuff like that. All growing pains.
As for the blowjob scene, that was indeed a promotional video made to help advertise the game, but good news, v016 will feature 8 new solo animations, 12 new pair animations, and 6 new threesome animations. Unlike the current doll system, these are what we would consider premium animation sets made to be very sexual and appealing. Here is an example of a still from the new system...
Hope that answers your questions! We are hard at work getting v016 ready, and I hope by next week we will be good to launch. Time will tell though...
In the current build just throw a lust bomb from the Q menu at a girl and if she isn't in another animation like fleeing she will pose herself and allow you to enter the animation slot or another girl.
That one was made for advertising purposes. v016 which is the next patch will have some other blowjob animations though, both in solo and threesome animations.
sry are we playing the same game there is nothing has such has that q does nothing g and f also don't work the doll future is not usable anymore and most of the game play is just taking photos am i missing something ore is that a patreon build only thing
Press Q, equip the pink ball, throw it at a girl, they animate into a sex pose, you enter the hologram slot, animation plays.
Welcome to games in development. The next patch will change it all once again. We are building and trying new things to find the system and style we want the full game to have. Sometimes it works, other times it needs more developing.
We do not release Patreon patches differently. All stores get the same build at the same time.
Yes. PayPal banned us for making adult games, itch won't support adult game developers. So we have to use stripe as our only payment solution. Sapphire will be available on other stores like GOG and Steam very soon, best wait for them.
Yes, I believe gog does not sell adult games in Germany and places like it. However we will be selling on a specialized store for German audiences Steam keys. More information on that soon.
It is what it is. We just have to work with what we have. They have already made it harder for adult game developers to get paid here. So why not do a little more.
If that is the issue it's caused by the write speed of the HDD itself. So unless you can install the game on a faster drive you won't be able to change much.
If you downloaded it from here it won't have it, if you downloaded it from other places I cannot confirm it has only the game files in it. We have player telemetry in the game with you can opt out of when you start the game.
It's Linux so it's hard for us to fix this. What distro you using and what you have installed all change everything. We also cannot test very much and those we have it works fine.
Join our discord please and we will see what we can do there.
Sorry you're not making any sense here. The player can feel whatever they like when they meet the monster girls of different sizes. Be that awe or shock or horniness. That's is for each person to decide.
As a mechanic size changes the animations the monster girl can use with monsters of other sizes. Please read of dev logs for information on this.
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!

When to appear on Steam, otherwise there is no way to buy here
When we are polished and ready for the launch
Bought this game 3 months ago and was gonna update it but i don't get a link to the new version, only to the v15 version from 96 days ago. What do I do
Because that it is the newest version. The game hasn't updated yet.
Is there any M\M content in this game.I noticed in the last screenshot the tigger has a dong.
There is female on female, futa on male, futa on futa, male on female. There is only a handful of male characters, one of them is the player character.
So, if one buys this here, will they get a Steam key when it eventually launches on Steam, or will we have to buy it again on Steam?
No, Steam is its own store. You would not expect an Itch key if you purchased it on Steam, right?
If you'd like to own the game on Steam you will need to wait for the release there.
Good to know.
would you consider making a demo also if i did by this would i need to buy it when a new update came out or do i own it forever
Demo will come later. And no you won't need to purchase again.
Will the game ever come out for Mac?
Maybe. We have no way to test it on Macs so it's a little harder to put faith into the build without confirming everything is good.
well I would want to get this but 1 there's no apk and 2 I just don't have the money
Okay. We don't have any plans for mobile development at this point. And having no money is a bummer.
Yeah it is but not only that I don't have pay pal or cash app so there's also that I'd love to see a WEB version or something like that but it's up to you I do like the design though your very talented I just wish I could download and play somehow

How do I get the sex scene or is that noy out yet on here
In the current build just throw a lust bomb from the Q menu at a girl and if she isn't in another animation like fleeing she will pose herself and allow you to enter the animation slot or another girl.
ah ok do you know when the animated ones will available on the itch version or is that still in the works
What do you mean animated ones?
LIke on the page there a picture of a blow job when would that be added or is it in the game all ready? Is I ment sorry
That one was made for advertising purposes. v016 which is the next patch will have some other blowjob animations though, both in solo and threesome animations.
sry are we playing the same game there is nothing has such has that q does nothing g and f also don't work the doll future is not usable anymore and most of the game play is just taking photos am i missing something ore is that a patreon build only thing

We do not release Patreon patches differently. All stores get the same build at the same time.
went to get, but all my cards refuse to let me buy due to the name it's going to
We are based in Poland, so you just need to approve the payment with your bank if they have issue with it.
Is there a reason we cant use paypal
Yes. PayPal banned us for making adult games, itch won't support adult game developers. So we have to use stripe as our only payment solution. Sapphire will be available on other stores like GOG and Steam very soon, best wait for them.
Will it be regionlocked on gog as it is on steam?
Yes, I believe gog does not sell adult games in Germany and places like it. However we will be selling on a specialized store for German audiences Steam keys. More information on that soon.
Not sure I follow. Itch won't allow for embedding anything so we had to make gifs.
It is what it is. We just have to work with what we have. They have already made it harder for adult game developers to get paid here. So why not do a little more.
Seconds away from buying this game, just had a question
will we get premium scenes like shown or am I stuck with the plain ones?
fyi not calling the scenes bad, i just like some spice
We will have a lot more in the next patch. One type you would call premium.
Will you add knots or any kind of other dicks? :p
Eventually yeah. Adding dick flavors is not high on our list of content to make right now.
But yes.
Sorry I don't quite understand the question. Can you elaborate?
Okay I had to Google what this was.
so just let it finish downloading?
love this game but it constantly freezes
It saves photos to the HDD so if you have a slow read or write manual HDD you'll get some stuttering from that.
had a feeling something like that was causing it. Any recommendations to help fix it
If that is the issue it's caused by the write speed of the HDD itself. So unless you can install the game on a faster drive you won't be able to change much.
When during gameplay is the stuttering happening?
after like five pictures it starts then progressively gets worse the more I take pics.
I see. Well hopefully you'll test out the next build v016 as the game is going to change a whole lot.
why is scp-1471 in this game
why not?
I cannot open the game in the files, it says that it may contain a virus or malmware. is there a fix for this?
If you downloaded it from here it won't have it, if you downloaded it from other places I cannot confirm it has only the game files in it. We have player telemetry in the game with you can opt out of when you start the game.
I did download it from here on itch. still the same issue
Then you'll have to allow it passed the false detection.
nothing I do works even if I turn off my anti-virus. is there maybe the option of getting a steam code since I already purchased the game?
Sorry we don't sell Steam codes on itch or anywhere else for that matter.
Can you perhaps send me a screenshot of the issue you're having as there is no reason why it wouldn't work.
Will alpha be posted here if I buy it on here?
I assume you mean the future updates? Yes. If you purchase you own the game and will get updates as they come out.
Is there anyway to pay for the game without Kredit card and steam?... With paypal or something else or direct on Discord?
Nothing yet, we won't be selling on other platforms until we get closer to early access.
Game so laggy
Still in development. Things will get better.
is it possible to change the stone button ? can't find it in the keyboard & mouse option
I need this game but you only accept credit card as payment. Why no PayPal?
Because we are banned on Paypal and itch does not want to support adult game development so we cannot use it as a payment gateway.
Please send your complaints to itch support.
the game crashes when trying to depart to the first island, screen goes black indefinitely
Sounds like a save file issue. When did you start playing? Either way please delete your save in appdata and see if that helps.
We cannot test fully linux. It's hard to know the particulars with that sku. What's the problem?
It's Linux so it's hard for us to fix this. What distro you using and what you have installed all change everything. We also cannot test very much and those we have it works fine.
Join our discord please and we will see what we can do there.
can we turn off futa?
yep
Heights are for species. Like the tiger is large and the bunny is small. The player is medium.
Yes, I mean, I am making the game so of course I remember...
Most creatures will fit in the Large, Medium, and Small sizes. The last two are for special creatures.
Sorry you're not making any sense here. The player can feel whatever they like when they meet the monster girls of different sizes. Be that awe or shock or horniness. That's is for each person to decide.
As a mechanic size changes the animations the monster girl can use with monsters of other sizes. Please read of dev logs for information on this.
is this in VR???
Nope. We might do something in VR later. But not for this release.
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.
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
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.
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.
