Sapphire Documents Issue 016


Hello explorers! Hope you all are enjoying the latest patch for Sapphire Safari. I know we have had a lot of really positive comments about the scoring and weather tech added to the game! But today we are talking about a bit of ye’old in n’ out. The hokie pokie. The wham-bam-thank you-mam. The “you get the joke now so I’ll stop”. We talkin, sex.

Over on our community Discord, we held a meeting to discuss our plans for the very anticipated v022 Intamacy Update for the game, we also addressed a lot of questions you all had so be sure to join our Discord for the next time we do it. In the meeting we broke down our plans for the patch and how we will release it.

The short version is that v022 will be broken up into five milestones, each one a micro-patch that we can release quickly as it is completed. Let me go into better detail on what you can all expect.

v022a

This patch is focused on patching the model issues we have had up until now, basically aligning the model legs, renaming bones, and fixing face shapes for every model. They have been broken for quite some time now and getting this done first means we can push out new animations without backtracking. On top of the fixes, we will be adding the final three species that will be found in the Plains region. 

The Crocodile Predator called Caicadaly - Our first “small” classification predator in the game. She can be found around the rivers and bodies of water on the island, hunting those silly enough to loiter around the water.


The Bee Prey called Sweedee - Sapphire Safari’s first “tiny” classification species. She will have a job pollinating the island flora and enjoys being used as a sex toy. You can find her buzzing mostly everywhere but her Hive can be found closer to the mountains.


The Undead Wolf Special called Malous - The first special spawn species you can find on Sapphire Island she will have to be “unlocked” before she can be spawned, the hows and whys are up to the player to discover. Even if you manage to get her spawning, finding her will be quite difficult.


v022b

Now that our models have a better foundation the next task is overhauling the current sex system called Doll. This means replacing all the prototype sex animations and adding in a larger pool of animations along with speed variations, cuming scenes, and post-sex animations. This also will come with an IK fix, so all those misplaced hands, dongs, and sex collisions will be fixed with this.

Adding to this we will be putting in our first variation on a cum fluid system, we want facials and bukkake to be a possibility in this game, so expect to see some bunnies covered in cum very soon.


Finally, for this patch, we will be adding our vine flora trap creature. This is a stationary plant that will grab unwilling creatures (including the player) and use their vines and plant tongues on them. This will include a spawning tool that can interact with Sweedee as she pollinates them.


v022c

The big boi patch, the predator system. What can I say about this that you wouldn’t already know? Our three predator classification species - Kokai (snake), Furloin (fox), and Caiadaly (crocodile) will get a brand new AI system that enables them to hunt, stalk, and sexually use any species they deem tasty enough. This also doubles for the player, if they are spotted by an active predator they will become the target, being attacked, filled, and dragged off to their nest.

We will also be adding things like torn clothing and dripping fluids after the player makes their escape, this all coming off the game's first “failure state” aka being caught is bad.


Lastly for this patch, we will be adding the “Mating Tab” of the Monpedia accessible, so you can start scoring photos for sex acts.

v022d

The other aggressive plant will be added in this patch, the Spore Plant which will start a new system. The spores shot out will turn normal prey into sexually aggressive creatures, who will pounce the closest species they can find (player included) and do what they like. If the player is spored they will be woozy and drunken-like, and moving will be harder to control.


With the spore effects in place, we can then add in the “Pink Moon” event. On every full moon in the game, the island natives will go sex crazy, and be fucking each other for the entire night. The player if caught during this time won’t be able to escape until the next morning. So if you want to capture the event as a photographer be sure to not be seen.

v022e

The final micro patch for the intimacy update, this time we are focused on turning on the familiarity system and adding in a bunch of rewards here. Meaning the more familiar a species is with you the closer you can get where you can eventually walk up and interact with them, engaging in some sexywexy. We will also have 3 unlockable reward scenes with each species, which will include very unique animations making the best use of their anatomy.


So that wraps up our plans. I know you all have been waiting a very long time for this, and we thank you all from the bottom of our hearts for how you’re enabling us to spend time polishing and making the best game we can.

Thank you!

Malous already been sending me dms, should be easy enough.

(little strange that some of them are pictures of myself though)

Soon I will become the islands best photographer! And since none of the mons are taking pictures and there is no multiplayer to worry about I will be uncontested!! (at least until a mon with a camera gets put into the game who is better at photography than me out of spite.)

The player model you don't pick will become your rival on the island and offer side quests to compete against them in a photo scoring contest. You'll also be able to see them around the island taking photos of things.

I will destroy them with superior skill. And probably give them to the mons as a peace offering.

You'll be able to destroy them yourself as Player x Rival sex scenes are planned for the future.

But can I still sacrif-*ahem-  generously offer them to the girls as a plaything so as to Ingratiate myself to them and join their clearly fluffier civilisation?

Reject man, embrace monster/animal girls.

The attention to detail and care put into this is super impressive.

Are there still plans to allow for those of us who don't like futa?

You can turn futa off in the gameplay menu. We designed the game around there being mons with penetration so you'll be removing a lot of animations if you do so. But yes. You can turn off futa.

Happy to see the game evolve, would've brought it by now if i could, but for some reason i can't pay with my debit card due to "insufficient funds" despite knowing i got the cash for it on hand. i mean when using a online banking service it works just fine but.. eh whatever. can't wait to see the finished update. i wish you guys all the best. i'm just happy to see projects move along.

really. my biggest fear is that a game ends up abandoned or in development hell i took a fancy towards.

The only way wouldn't succeed is if sales dry up. Everything we make in sales is poured back into the game. With PayPal blocking us our and itch removing it's payment services we are very lucky we make enough from credit card transactions alone to keep ourselves making the game the best it can be. When we get to steam we will be back at full strength with the full power of complete payment systems available to everyone.

Shame i can't buy it on steam sadly. german restriction and all, but i will try to find a way to pay for it one way or another. either way, as long this game gets finished i'm happy.

Guys, this "piece of art" is the goat of all furry-type games, you absolutely must raise its price to $17 or more

Eventually it will be 19.99 but not until we have like 2 or 3 regions in the game. I'm glad you think so highly of our game though!

Will there be translations into Polish, Ukrainian? If yes, do you plan to hire voice actors for character dialogues, quest lines, or special scenes?

Our studio is based in Poland so yeah we likely can add it. As for polish VO that might be more difficult given the sparse vo pool for sex games as it is. We already are working with  15 different actors for the game as it is (lines recorded just not implemented in game yet). But if we make enough sales I don't see why we couldn't try. It's more likely we will find more JPN actors then Polish.
