Sapphire Safari (Early Access)
Sapphire Documents Issue 011
Wassup explorers! Welcome to another Sapphire Documents Issue! Today we are talking all about the progress our team has made, along with a long-requested feature!
The angle of the dangle
Yes, you’ve guessed it, the team has created flaccid penis assets for our models. We have been putting off this long-requested feature for a while, as it was never essential. With the open-world rework, we decided “why not” and threw in the tech needed to arouse and unarouse?
The mobs will determine when they grow, normally when they enter sex poses, but we could have a system that shows how toey a monster girl is by the size of their erection. I mean. That just makes sense…
The full erection sizes won’t change as it will make our sex system complicated, however, we have a nice way to randomize the flaccid penis size. The system will spawn a dong size between our largest and smallest possible sizes. They all grow to the same length, but it will offer a nice diverse selection of futaness.
And yes, physics is a thing…
Speaking of physics, the first pass for our new models for physics is up and running, here is a look at our lovely fox, with her floppy ears and bouncy assets.
Dialogue and Holocalls
On the back of an open-world move, we had to develop our own conversation system. There will be about 6-8 human NPCs and some more intelligent monster girls you can converse with in the game so building a system that allows for unique conversations is important. Couple this with our dynamic facial animation system we have quite a nice system in place. We can configure close-ups or wide shots, over-the-shoulder shots, etc depending on the dialogue used and how many participants in the conversation there are.
Two examples here are talking to NPCs in person and taking a Holocall (our version of a phone call).
Sapphire Island gets more tweaks
Surprising no one we continue to build upon the island to get it ready for her launch in v016. Here are some money shots to keep you all excited!
Hope you all enjoyed this brief look at what we’ve been working on! More to come soon!

Hey there, I love this game and everything currently in the works! I just have one small gripe, and wanted to bring to attention that many intersex and transgender folks consider "futa" or "futanari" a degrading slur.
I see it used most often in reference to trans women and certain intersex individuals. These terms are used a lot in the NSFW space, and it makes myself and my other trans friends very uncomfortable seeing so normalized.
This doesn't affect my support of the game, but please take into consideration how word choice can have an affect on current and future players of your games 💜
The word is japanese and literally means hermaphrodite. I am glad you enjoy the game but know our use of the word only is relevant to the context of how it is used.
While our game pretends to be scientific, it is still very much pornography, and to enable our customers to access content without confusion we need to use industry standard words to describe the tagging and sexual offerings.
"Hey uh me and other people like me who invaded this creative space are seeing your longstanding terminology and getting uncomfortable so could everybody just stop for us please?" Fuck right off
random question....are there swallow animations?
Not right now, we plan to have some oral content in the future, perhaps for v016. Fluids will come later though.
Will there be collision during sex scene ? Not just two heaps of pixels that fit inside , I know it can be a lot of work but it can be a insane add.
We are going down a hand animated route. So no much physics in the penetration.
the hip swing on fox is gorgeous. (But I hope for some real big 'bouncy assets' on a future mongirl)
The Snake and Lamb both have a lot more curves going on. We wanted the fox to be a lean predator though.
Thats fair, just I love bunnies and Foxs and thiccness and I'm sad they weren't combined XD maybe I can get an full body hourglass squirrel or mega bust cow or a huge butt chicken.. :P
Oh the lamb has some big old tiddies, and the snake is all ass.
I'm glad we're getting a nice wide variety of body types. Those of us who like a svelte figure get some rep, as well as the fans of ample curves.
You see young curious friend, when a monster girl is created in the world, her opposite must also be created, that opposite is called a futanari. If a vagina exists, there is a penis made for the purpose.
Unless you turn off the futanari toggle, then it's all girl on girl.
Ain't no boys on Sapphire Island...
Yet...
I dunno just didn't want to make males. Nothing really secretive about it. Once we get further into development that might change.
Man, I hope. This game would be perfectly fine without them, to be fair, and I'm sure in a distinct minority on this, but it would be so nice to have male mons.
I'll still support the game regardless, though, because it's pretty damn good. Godspeed, you Black Emperor.
If we find the time we will. Adding males means adding homosexual content as well, which means more workload. It's just something we are holding off until the game is polished enough to bring in another type of customer.
Not a sausage fan, myself, but it looks like a fantastic amount of detail for those that do.
That fox is adorable. Love these designs.
Understandable about the stance on sausage. I'm glad you like her design!
