Sapphire Safari (Beta Access)
Beta - v027.3049
Another beta update patch for everyone this week. v027.3049 introduces the new creature Salatonie, a rare sight on Sapphire Island that can only be seen during rainy weather. Even then, her presence will be difficult to detect, given that she fits into the Tiny classification of creatures.
To help with her detection, we have come up with a way for her Tiny body to be found among the grass and flora on the island. So let’s play a quick game of “Spot the Salatonie”!
She has a very long fin-like tail that she uses to help capture the rain as it comes down, which also makes her a little easier to spot for keen-eyed photographers!
Along with adding the new creature, we have added a bunch more fixes and changes to the beta build!

when i try to buy beta access it goes to a broken link
Itch doesn't allow us to sell directly here anymore.
so if I payed for the game here, I cant get anymore updates for it?
You can. Just no more people can purchase on itch. We will continue to update the page here.
Can I get access to the beta on GOG?
Yes just access the beta branch. When it asks for the password just leave it blank. No idea why it does that.
Found it, thanks.
Aside from a few IK glitches here and there, the significant bug I've encountered so far was predators when charging are failing to engage moving targets, it seems pretty persistent on every build I tried.
another one would be that mons pretty oftenly not affected by the pink spore, and when they do, will sometimes have the same issue - failing to initiate moving targets.
epic :)
The only thing i hate about those small characters, is that you have to remove all grass in order to even take a picture of them, because the grass not only block them from taking pictures, but all of those small ones LOVES to sit around in those tall grass.
(and the grass is not tall enough to hide yourself in it, but tall enough for them to do so and your camera)
That, and because its insanely hard to get their monsutra pose so that you can have fun with them when you become friendly or when you try entice them to join you.
Almost like they are designed to be hard to photograph.
Tall grass, my nemesis
