You seem to have tied the camera to the main character's head, and that is a very very bad idea, especially in a third person game. The character should react to camera movement, not the other way around. The problem is if the character can't move its head quickly enough or the movement animation forces the head to move, the player's control over the camera feels either sluggish or not in their hands at all.
Also, the camera item's focus adjustment doesn't go far enough to allow you to take properly zoomed in pictures, not that it's possible to do that with the creatures that run away anyway, since you can't zoom in far enough at the closest distance you can get... Maybe this is the starting camera item, and later you get an improved one with more zoom/focus?
Why are there invisible walls blocking you from getting to the ice and volcano areas? Those are in the screenshots.
Is there already or are there plans to make some form of a questing system? Or is this mainly just going to be a freeroam "walk around and have fun taking pictures" type of game? I am extremely interested in trying it but i sadly loose interest fast if game don't have objectives. Even some form of like unlockables. Like how visual novel games have unlockable pictures and stuff. More worlds with more monsters maybe? Potentially a story?
I don't know if what i am asking makes any sense. But yeah. Doesn't hurt to ask xD.
- Quest system and goals? Check - Unlockables and Hidden Collectables? Check - Narrative and Story? Check - Free Roam and Take Pictures? Check
We hate that shit too, so we are building this game to be fun! The closest thing it comes to right now is the old Tony Halk Skater games where each level is like its own course with hidden and obvious objectives, however, there is a lot of free roam elements in there as well. Hope that helps.
Unfortunately, we are banned from PayPal for making porn games. However, if you purchase the bundle that should be available we have teamed up with another developer to offer the PayPal purchase solution. It will be the same price.
Happy to be transparent. We have had our artist change, so we have to replace their models before we can do another patch. Wont be much of a wait though!
Will futa monsters be a very common sight in this game? I'm hoping so because there's just something extremely alluring about futa characters. Like perhaps there could be a few species of monsters that are exclusively futa or something like that.
We have not fully decided yet, but my first thought was that they would be like alphas, not too many in number as they are at the top of the species mating chain.
I feel like there is currently literally nothing to do in this game in the current build. I am very confused what exactly the point of taking pictures are, they don't appear on the computer, and the monster girls standing there basically do nothing. This game is very confusing to me in this current state.
Yes, we are working on the project still. There isn't much to go with, as its alpha, the next patch will be in a month or so which will expand a lot of what the game is about.
I get that, and I have had that game on my Steam Wish List since the game was placed there. I own all of Kinky Friday's content on Steam as well. I want to see this project work.
Oh, thank you for the patronage! We are working hard to build exciting games, even if that means going back to the drawing board when things don't work out so great. Don't worry though, Sapphire is going to be great!
hey I would like to report that after I press play I get a black loading screen and then the game crashes idk if this is a bug but this is a new computer ..so please help!
Yes actually, we will be beginning development again on Sapphire in April now that we have a fantastic locomotion base and sex interaction system. The next build will very likely include our reformed exploration system and at least the very first iteration on how our core gameplay loop will work.
Thought about it, might consider it if it goes really well in sales. We are putting the bones in there, it's just on the sales/marketing side of things it is limited on what stores we can sell. Might not be the best use of our time in the end. But the bones are there!
Yes, we are building a better interaction system at the moment. It will take a little longer as after that we need to update the model skeletons and rigs.
Are you saying that your keys for W and D are not functioning? The build is quite early right now so we have not prioritized the options and configurations yet since they were causing issues in the previous build.
Hey so we are building a new interaction system tech base first before we go back to making content for Sapphire, it should be done in Feb maybe and we will be bringing it to the game here for great results.
Correct, we are focusing right now on building the interaction system we want for the game first, its possible interactions are getting quite long. After that is done we will be rebuilding the landmass along with pushing the content into the new system and focusing on building the core gameplay loop and exploration methods. Lots to come.
Anything is possible, I don't really have a plan for it. Futa is tied into the game mechanics so unless we find an elegant solution for that without stripping the game of mechanics, the answer will be a no.
I like the aesthetic, but the game runs poorly and is badly optimized. I ran it at low graphics and I still only managed 10-15 fps. That is about my only complaint. And yes, I can run modern games with few issues on this PC.
We are not claiming that the game is optimized at all right now, we still need to correct our lighting models, our AI cycles, how much vegetation can be seen, the dynamic nature of the models, everything like that needs to be corrected and fine tuned. It is a process and not something our very first alpha release will be capable of. Our goal is for a toaster to be able to run our game.
Yes, that is what the next update will be featuring as a major focus. Before this we had a working inverse kinematics system, basically, this means you can grab the girls and move their bodies around as you like, you could enter a sex animation with them and then move them freely. However, it was a little awkward so we are simply refining it to be far more pleasant.
Here is how the system will be presented in the full game. You take on bounties from your employer who will ask things like "take a photo of the bunny monster doing this and doing that" once you have completed enough bounties, the bunny monster girl will become more familiar with you and allow you to get closer. Once close enough you can enter into play mode with her where you can do things like give head pats and give them gifts (maybe). If your familiar level is high enough and you play with them enough they will "present" themselves before you and you can begin having sex with them.
The whole petting and sex system are in the same mode, basically, when you enter it you lose control of your player and you get a kinda orbital camera on the girl, and you can rotate and inspect the girl. Your mouse then becomes your hand, and using the hand you can touch, pull, finger, rub, slap, different parts of their bodies as you like. You can also swap your mouse pointer to be other things like a tongue, penis (if you have one), or tools like dildos, feathers, whips, etc. With tools like dildos or penis you basically set them up on a hole, feet, breasts, hands, etc and you choose the speed at which they move along the spline course. We have some nice ripple tech in the game so things like breasts and butt cheeks will ripple and slap in a nice way. The biggest hurdle we are trying to overcome is that when you grab the girls right now any animations they have will stop, so our goal would be to get it to a state where you could set up a penis tool banging away on a lower hole (like the anus for example) then swivel the camera to the mouth and put a dildo in there and do the same thing, then you can play with the breasts as the animations of the monster girl getting railed plays out.
Finally, we want there to be a button you can hit to just cum, so any tools or penis's currently animating will then enter into a cum state and shoot dynamic ropes of cum inside and around the girl.
That is what we are working on, how does all that sound to you?
Out of curiosity, is there any plan for a "progressive" system with the sex acts? As in, actions working toward a climax, either in yourself or the monster girl, or both. Or is it to be more "have fun until you push the cum-button"?
For that matter, are the monster girls going to be able to climax at all, or is it just the player?
You will build-up to the final moment, and so will she, you both can independently climax or at the same time. She can also get frustrated if you do things wrong, or touch the wrong part. Also yes there is a progressive nature to the sex that is tied into the mechanics of the game aka the girls being more familiar with you leads to more intimate sex acts.
Is it better to purchase it here or on steam? As I'd rather purchase it and know it will continue to be the most recent version and be updated until it is finished.
Its currently not for sale on steam and it won't be until beta. But when we do get to that point both platforms will continue to receive all updates and patches.

Why are there invisible walls blocking you from getting to the ice and volcano areas? Those are in the screenshots.
This alpha is quite far behind what we are doing now.
- first person game
- new island area maps
- new monsters and such
- unreal engine 5
Lots of changes, this should address your concerns. I will be updating the keyart/screenshots shorty.
Is there already or are there plans to make some form of a questing system? Or is this mainly just going to be a freeroam "walk around and have fun taking pictures" type of game? I am extremely interested in trying it but i sadly loose interest fast if game don't have objectives. Even some form of like unlockables.

Thank you very much for the fast and detailed response. That helped a ton ^^
Will the game be purchasable with PayPal?
Unfortunately, we are banned from PayPal for making porn games. However, if you purchase the bundle that should be available we have teamed up with another developer to offer the PayPal purchase solution. It will be the same price.
So is it fair to assume we can expect a update in June at the earliest? Not wanting to rush just can't wait to see how the game has changed
Maybe June but the latest will be July.
Thank you for replying and being honest. I have liked that from you guys/gals !
Happy to be transparent. We have had our artist change, so we have to replace their models before we can do another patch. Wont be much of a wait though!
will there be an option to not see futa?
Have not put this in yet, but we might be able to do it.
Will futa monsters be a very common sight in this game? I'm hoping so because there's just something extremely alluring about futa characters. Like perhaps there could be a few species of monsters that are exclusively futa or something like that.
We have not fully decided yet, but my first thought was that they would be like alphas, not too many in number as they are at the top of the species mating chain.
Will people who bought the alpha get upgraded to the full release when its ready?
Yes, you will get the full release here on Itch and every patch going forward.
I feel like there is currently literally nothing to do in this game in the current build. I am very confused what exactly the point of taking pictures are, they don't appear on the computer, and the monster girls standing there basically do nothing. This game is very confusing to me in this current state.

hey I would like to report that after I press play I get a black loading screen and then the game crashes idk if this is a bug but this is a new computer ..so please help!
Hello, we are going to be working on an overhaul for the game soon, please be patient while we fix all this!
ight no rush yall
Will we be able to be a futa as well? I would love that option and maybe some graphical optimizations too
We will have a gender selection in the game, at a minimum at least. Not sure what you mean by graphical optimizations.
I think they may be talking about how most games have high med and low graphical settings
Yes, we are currently overhauling a lot of the game so this stuff comes after we are done with that. Thank you for your patience!
wait so are you only watching what's going on or can you join in too?
you can join in.
will there be a free demo?
Sure, we can build one once we get some gameplay loops in place.
k thanks cant wait
Any updates on an update?
Yes actually, we will be beginning development again on Sapphire in April now that we have a fantastic locomotion base and sex interaction system. The next build will very likely include our reformed exploration system and at least the very first iteration on how our core gameplay loop will work.
So yeah UPDATES!
Thank you for the response, I am looking forward to it!
I know this question is bothersome, but, do you have plans on making this game VR compatible?
Thought about it, might consider it if it goes really well in sales. We are putting the bones in there, it's just on the sales/marketing side of things it is limited on what stores we can sell. Might not be the best use of our time in the end. But the bones are there!
thats awesome!, and i totally understand how time consuming that can be, thanks for the reply!
No, the stores are different stores. If you want a steam version, please wait for the steam version to drop.
Will this one be updated alongside the steam release? Or will the steam release take priority?
they will be updated at the same time.
Will there be a difference between the steam and itch.io versions?
None at all. Outside of maybe like, steamworks integration for achievements of steam cards.
if I buy it once and you update it will I still be able to download the game or I will have to buy it again.
You are able to download the game again if there has been an update. You don't need to buy the game again.
You purchase at any time, you get all future updates and content.
only take a picture now?
You can bang the girls on the beach as well, we are building a new system atm, will report back here once its ready to show off!
are you planning on Updating the game? Its still v.0.0.3 here
Yes, we are building a better interaction system at the moment. It will take a little longer as after that we need to update the model skeletons and rigs.
Will there be guy on guy too?
If you mean male x futa then yes. We don't have male monsters in the game or plan to have them.
will there be foot fetish? vore or watersports stuff
Feet stuff yeah, pee stuff naw. Unless you mean banging underwater then very likely yes.
impreg stuff?
Probs not. Cos. Yeah I dunno.
pokemon furry?
What's a pokemon? -_-
hi will there be frottage scenes?
I dunno maybe, we are building the reworked sex content at the moment, we can add it to the list and see how it feels.
My inputs are messed up W and D aren't working. Is there a way to change add these somewhere?
Are you saying that your keys for W and D are not functioning? The build is quite early right now so we have not prioritized the options and configurations yet since they were causing issues in the previous build.
when is the game coming on Steam
Arr, when she be done boyo!
Alright Thx
Will there be an update soon? :)
Hey so we are building a new interaction system tech base first before we go back to making content for Sapphire, it should be done in Feb maybe and we will be bringing it to the game here for great results.
Sounds great!
are you just able to travel around the beach in this Alpha??
Correct, we are focusing right now on building the interaction system we want for the game first, its possible interactions are getting quite long. After that is done we will be rebuilding the landmass along with pushing the content into the new system and focusing on building the core gameplay loop and exploration methods. Lots to come.
Anything is possible, I don't really have a plan for it. Futa is tied into the game mechanics so unless we find an elegant solution for that without stripping the game of mechanics, the answer will be a no.
Any chance of a short demo version? My PC is very unreliable and I'd like to benchmark it to make sure it runs at a decent frame rate.
No demo yet, we hope to have something for the game once our new face tech systems are built.
I finally found this game, Apparently "3D monster hentai game with camera" wasn't a good Google search
Haha, where did you first see the game btw? I am curious how you found it without the logo on whatever you were looking at.
I saw the game here but it was a long time ago, I just remembered the game's trailer and not the game's name
Ah okay, that makes sense, well hope you enjoy the content so far, plenty more to come.
If we buy on itch will we get a steam key when it comes out on that platform?
No, the stores are different. If you would like a steam key it'd be best to wait for the release over there.
why you only accept credit card payment?
Is there a way to use paypal?
As a developer, we are not allowed to use PayPal. We will need to start another bundle for Paypal to appear as a purchase option.
okay, thank you for the fast responds, i wish you goodluck
how will the steam version be? will there be any restrictions?
Unless steam tells us to change things, it will be the same version that is on Itch.
I missed the bundel sale to be able to pay with paypal and Steam locked the game in my region too. Is there any bundel release in the future?
Yes, there will be! Be sure to join our discord for updates as that is the most reliable way to get information.
How do I get it to open I bought the early access and it won't let me open it after I download i
It is zipped, so you just need to pull all the contents out of the zip and then run the exe.
Is EA coming to steam as well as i have it wished on there. just prefer it on the quick delete/download list vs the hard drive i put most of itch on.
We will release in early access once we have about 80% of the game done. So sometime next year.
how do I swap from girl to guy?
this will be a feature in a future build. For now we just have one playable character model.
I don't know what happened, but WASD stopped working.
I replied to the other post you made, but we need more information on the bug.
I like the aesthetic, but the game runs poorly and is badly optimized. I ran it at low graphics and I still only managed 10-15 fps. That is about my only complaint. And yes, I can run modern games with few issues on this PC.
We are not claiming that the game is optimized at all right now, we still need to correct our lighting models, our AI cycles, how much vegetation can be seen, the dynamic nature of the models, everything like that needs to be corrected and fine tuned. It is a process and not something our very first alpha release will be capable of. Our goal is for a toaster to be able to run our game.
question when will the game come out just asking sorry to bother you i have it wish listed on steam and can't wait it looks so good!
We have a bunch more we need to do with the game, likely nearing q3 next year.
sounds awesome!
When the Mc was a Man and you could fuck all the Girls that would be nice ^^
Character creation is a feature that will be added later. The current model can be swapped already to be male.
And what is about too fuck the girls ? Is this in the next update possible ?
Yes, that is what the next update will be featuring as a major focus. Before this we had a working inverse kinematics system, basically, this means you can grab the girls and move their bodies around as you like, you could enter a sex animation with them and then move them freely.
