If I buy the game today, will I have to pay again when a new update comes out?
No Ibought a while ago and I get the updates everytime
oh nice, ty
no worries
I've found the altar and all five symbols but it just tells me to expand coverage despite having been to each one twice to make sure. Am I missing something else?
Nvm guess that save was just bugged since it worked with a new one.
if you managed to get past that, don't upload the final glyphs at night or else you'll corrupt your save
Anyone Know the locations of the Glyphs, for the Altar in the desert area?
They can be found around the outskirts of the plains region. Hunt at night and listen out for the magical sounds they make.
i managed that but at night i uploaded the last 2 images hen caused a fatal crash wiping my data
Are you able to email me your crash logs?
yes where do i send them and how do i access the crash logs?
I would really love to play this game but I can only pay with paypal, is there anyway to buy the game with paypal?
Sorry no, PayPal bans accounts making pornography, which is what happened to us.
But is there a other way?
Yes! You can purchase on GOG, Jast, or wait for the Steam Early Access launch on March 7th 2025.
i bought it on jast but i cant open it after downloading
Not sure what that means. What are you downloading?
I keep crashing when I try to take a photo, it isn't every photo but it crashes everything. Any fixes?
Yes. Send me your crash log.
Next update your drivers.
Next make sure you're running v022d.hf2
Next if your hardware is old run the dx11.bat file
After that if nothing else works you'll need to do a clean install for your driver with DDU (it's software you can Google)
And please make sure your installing the game in a new folder and not overwriting the old install.
i hope when the game is more developed there'll be a free demo them people can try it before buying it
Yes, after we build the new intro we will be putting together a demo.
sounds great i can't wait
Love the game so far on Windows but I dont know how to export my photos, mostly i been taking poses and landscape shots and i really wanna hop into lightroom. Which folder is it in?
Photos are found in appdata/locallow along with your save file.
Ohhhh, okay, thanks
This is the mistake. I updated the drivers, but it didn't help
Did you do as the error suggested? If so what is your hardware specs? There is also the dx11.bat file in the game directory, try running that.
Will Simplified Chinese be added to this game in the future?
Should be. Most of it will be machine translated though as the game is a work in progress.
will the screen resolution be at 1920x1080? otherwise, after I want to click "continue", I have a black screen and a resolution error
Not sure I quite understand the issue here. You can choose whatever resolution you like. If you're having rendering issues please update your drivers and try running the dx11.bat file found in the install directory.
Please tell me you caught and fixed the camera bug? not sure if it's just me but after i take about 8-10 photo's, (even if I fresh install and even if I overwrite saves) the game teleports my camera angle to about 16 miles below the map and to the edge of it by the looks and needless to say makes it rather unplayable. I can't progress any research as I can't get past that marker of about 8-10 photo's
Edit: Just deleted the game save data folder and starting afresh will let you know if that fixes the issue just thought that the data from previous versions may be the issue after I wrote this
Edit2: It did not so this time I got to 9 photo's and bam under the world again and that's not just 9's the limit if I take 3 deposit take 2 deposit take 4 it's the same result, game's unplayable for me at the moment and has been like this for the past 2 updates
Did you perhaps get a video of it happening or screenshots? As that bug is very unique.
This time I only got to 6 images then got caught whilst it did the camera move. Having trouble posting the Images they dnt seem to want to post
almost forgot, it also requires a reset as it continues into the main menu after i quit game
got em posted finaly had to use the image link in the end as direct upload didn't want to play nice
Is it during a predator capturing you or just photo taking?
it's just a photo thing I just happened to be captured when i took the screen shot
huh… only one payment option huh… i hope steam is gonna treat you better
Yeah it's been rough. Despite all that people seem very eager to get themselves a copy so I have high hopes for our steam launch.
same here, i am hesitant on buying but thats fine now you can hide buying things
seriously it looks pretty neat (though i think i'm more likely to be the observer than the partaker if that is even a option)
I mean it is a photography game. That's basically the whole thing tbh. You can interact with friendly species, but it's mostly a peeping game.
how do i find more scenes or is there just 3 for now?
You take photos of sex acts happening in the world and you can recreate them with any friendly species. There are 20ish sex acts to find and more coming in the next couple patches.
ok thank you for letting me know and grate work on this current update so would i need futa on to find the others
Most require p penises
i am super confused, i understand i need to increase familiarity in order to interact with them, but no matter what i do or dont do, it just says fearful. is this game just incredibly grindy or is my save bugged or am i just doing something wrong.
That would only happen if you're playing a version that isn't up to date. Submitting photos will update the familiarity and the research level.
one request from someone that doesn't wanna get dicked but still would like futaxfemale scenes, could we get an option to disable futa on male forced scenes? just have them like steal your wallet and skip the animation, I'd prefer to play a male character but I can't really do that without having to watch scenes I don't enjoy. I could disable futa entirely but I WANT to have that in the world, just not forced onto me
You can skip any scene you don't want to watch. As your proposal is quite a lot of work.
to just automatically skip a scene if it's a futa predator attack? cause while I CAN skip them, they do still briefly play before I can do so, I realize how I phrased it may have sounded like I wanted it to be a proper mechanic but no, I just want it to automatically skip futa predator attacks without showing me any of it
That level of customization along with people asking for species only futa controls is not a big priority for development right now.
We are focused on optimization, content creation, and building the planned mechanics to the game. You'll need to wait until we have more time free.
Fair enough! all I ask is to consider it for the future! certainly not a priority but would be nice
Will do! Thanks for the feedback.
Hey Kinky, i got most of the girls to friendly but don't have any scenes. Were could I "find" them.
Interact with a friendly species and hold down the interaction key. It's all written in the tutorials for the game.
I did that but it just shows them locked with ??? under them.
Yes. You need to photograph the act before you can do it.
the oral animations & postions in general look so nice, but so much content being locked behind futa is a colossal turn off.
There is fxf stuff on the way. But generally a penis is used in sex.
o h n o
Can someone please tell where this one last is located?
that ones near radio 5
Thanks!
I've seen the singular stones around but where is that one that shows them all
from the camp head north east past plains radio 2, you could hug the right side of the world while heading in that direction. youll eventually come across an area thats lower down and should see a grouping of rocks. If youve got the radio towers near by and uncover this location itll look like a eye on the map
4th icon is up on the hill east of radio 1, 5th icon is next to radio 5
thank you so much!
will there ever be the ability to shear the sheep? maybe to make new clothing or something while getting to see them bette
Haha I don't think so.
why not? the only thing I can see on them through the wool is their dick. I just thought that 1. it would be fun to make them more naked. and 2. they look too hot with all that wool
is their a free trail version
Demo is coming soon.
Are different dick shapes on the roadmap, or only human shaped ones?
Yeah we will have some different ones. Nothing too extreme though.
Looking forward to it!
i have the other 4
All of them are on the edge of the plains map. Some are near beacons. Others are in high places. Good luck!
I completed it but now i keep getting fatal error
I think it might have something to do with Mal0 spawining becuase the game runs for a bit before crashing, and in other saves that dont have it completed it doesnt crash
So this fatal error is something that happens on amd systems. Also if you can please email in your crash logs.
1. If you could share your hardware specification it would help with further debugging
2. Try lowering video settings
3. Try different window modes
4. If using any resource intensive software in background, try closing them
5. If using undervolt on GPU, try using stock settings
6. Try removing all files in C:\Users\USER\AppData\Local\SapphireSafari\Saved\Config and C:\Users\USER\AppData\Local\SapphireSafari\Saved\SaveGames\Settings
7. You could try using DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) to remove GPU drivers and install them fresh
Let me know how you get on.
Are there any options to toggle off futa?
Yes in the setting menu, you should find a futa mod activated right now, or something like that. Desactivate it or activate it as you wish.
Will there be males in the game besides the main character?
Yes two other male humans. Male monsters maybe will come but don't hold ya breath as they will be the last thing we aDD if they ever get added.
Thanks for the answer, I hope you add them someday
It would be a great addition for sure, but with 40 plus species to be added we are looking at doubling that for adding males and then adding that many extra voice actors as well.
It's a lot of work.
You are doing a great job, thank you for that! I think your game has every chance to become very successful and popular
Thank you. If it helps we do have some very light narrative reasons for males not being around. Obviously we would change that if we added males but it should help suspend disbelief a little.
can’t you cheat by reusing some female ones and reducing the bust and just have them have cocks?
For those that don’t have much sexual dimorphism
We would build the same models but have shape keys for turning them more male. It still takes work, it is still extra vocals, and it pulls our team in a different direction.
a shame that you cant pay that game with paypal :( would be nice to try this game too plz add mor payment methods
We are banned on PayPal and itch does not want to support our development for whatever reason (likely mastercard being a butt) so what is left is what we have. You can always buy the game on GOG/JAST or wait for the steam launch on March 7th next year.
ahh ok good to know
Ive noticed that when i read through the documentation tutorial, the one you get for hitting the tab key, always freezes the game. ive tried it on both an existing build that ive updated, and a fresh install and it does it on both, am i the only one?
er, no, it seems to be exiting the tab menu? i reloaded in to the save and went in to the tab menu, didnt get the tutorial, but when exited the tab menu it froze?
The game pauses when you have a tutorial popup. You'll need to take a video of whatever you're doing to close the tutorial without unpausing the game, that way we can see what the issue is.
I'm having the same issue on the current build (V022dhf1) and the issue seems to be solely with exiting the Monsterpedia not the tutorial. When the tutorial is closed you can still interact with the Monsterpedia and all it's sections, but closing the 'pedia causes the game to... not freeze necessarily because it recognizes switching inputs between mouse/keyboard and controller, but it otherwise doesn't respond to your inputs.
Sometimes, however, force quitting the game and immediately restarting and selecting continue will cause whatever glitch is happening to just not trigger and the game will work fine afterwards.
Edit: anytime a tutorial procs while you are in the monsterpedia guaranties triggering the bug.
Okay I think I understand as your way of writing the issue is a little confusing
1. enter monpedia on a new save to prompt the monpedia tutorial popup
2. close popup
3. close monpedia
4. game is now frozen
you also mentioned switching inputs, do you mean to say you're using controller and closing the monpedia then removes control from the controller to mouse and keyboard?
Okay, I just tried it myself, I can confirm it is freezing the game. that is weird. Thanks for the report!
Is there a rarity system for the positions, or chances for the wildlife to interact with each other? Even during the pink moon event I only see maybe 4 or 5 and it's all the same position. (adding to this, what are the conditions for the threesome positions if there are any?)
If you play with the new hotfix you'll be able to see more threesomes. Every position can be seen with the same percentage as the other. It depends on genitals.
Is it possible to make backups of save files? I've been looking through the game folder in case I can copies of the saves but no luck. Adding onto that, if you can make backups, is it possible to transfer them over to the new builds? thanks
Save files are held in your appdata locallow folder. As for backing up data to transfer to new versions of the game, we will endeavor to make sure old save functions work, but there might be a chance in the future that the save structure will change. So take that with a grain of salt.
cant extract file/download file properly its telling me to make sure i make the file is safe to open and when i look at the file its like a paper doc only i cant do anything with it so i need help in order to make the game work . edit 1 i got the adv version to work but the rec version didnt
Not sure how you're getting that result. It is an exe file not a .doc
thats why im confused but i have it working so i cant complain
What kind of shitty camera deletes all pictures when jumped, Sneak system dearlord why is this not already in. Research is finicky All pictures should count toward the total and not diminish if you replace them with lower quality. Light or torch for nightime. I look forward to experiencing the blocked off areas when their done. Lastly Clipping jank. Manual Saves aswell
Camera is a gameplay choice for a soft failure state.
Sneak system is in. It's based on being spotted and if you're inside foliage.
Each category has a max score. It only adds score of the new photo is better than the last. It never takes away progress.
Considering adding a hip lamp.
Clipping will be fixed with another update to the models.
A big no to manual saves.
Yes I found the sneak button right after posting this. I've had score drop after replacing so theres that ok to lamp and clipping why not manual saves? currently the only way for me to continue playing the game is via continue the auto saves have not updated properly in the load game menu. And I don't want to reset progress just to figure out what tourist mode is.
What are you even talking about? The game saves every time you submit a photo. If you don't submit there is no loss of anything.
The only thing you lose leaving the game is your temp photos. And you can save those by submitting them either to your gallery or Monpedia.
As for the stealth, perhaps reading the tutorials found in game would be useful for you as it explains just about everything you need to get started on how systems and mechanics work.
When will the game be released on Steam?)
March 7th 2025
i did the rune puzzle and now it auto fatal errors ):
We are working on a hotfix for that and a few other things.
alr thank you. cant wait!
Only one real suggestion, a flashlight, we gotta find it or it could be on the camara but a flashlight nonetheless. Plus it'd add a cool effect for nighttime photos.
Flash is a planned camera feature for later content, but a flashlight might not be the best thing. We have considered a hip lamp though.
Android version pls 🥲
We are not focused in that direction. Maybe later, for now, we are building for PC and Steamdeck.
nests idea each nest should act diffirently based on the creature type
some might be more frisky then others instead of being ejected out some might try to trap you instead or some might try to be friendly with you and even try to feed you and treat you like their own
example the bunnys might be friendly in their nests even giving the player a show for pictures even asking to mate
but something like wolfs would be more aggressive and try to take you hostage for breeding
That's a lot of ideas, would be good if you could next time reply to your own comment so they are all in one place to see easier.
Most of your ideas are really specific to each species and while I am okay with that as a concept we are only 5 people making a massive game. The scope needs to be far easier to accomplish. We will have nests and side activities. Each nest will be unique but they will all act the same way for the most part.
We will have a first person pov during player and mon acts, not sure about a camera option though.
Predators already hunt the player and attack if they spot you even during mating with another Mon. Some species are rarer than others, when we have the entire island made it will be a big ecosystem of monsters interacting with each other.
No taming or pulling them back to the camp. It's a photography focused game at the end of the day.
Good ideas though
apexs and alphas :)
i think it would be cool if there was a way to get trapped if a alpha or apex sees you the apex is the top dogs of packs the alphas are like the officers
the apex would easliy outrun the player but alphas are just slower then the player make to many mess ups and you get pounced or grabbed by your neck and dragged back into the breeding cave
this could also be cool if all the creatures had their own apex and alphas
the bunny would place you on a rock and just bounce on you or make you bounce on them
each pack would have 1 male 1 female apex with alphas also having this
cool idea
if a preditor sees you while their mating they should roar out load to alert their kin to our pressence all you see its like 5 alligators charing you as you try to run away hahaaha
idea creature rarity
commons are always passive submissive mobs
uncommon can range from dom and sub but still passives
elite these are hostile but have a low chance of spawning a dom
hostile as the name suggest these are generaly hostile mobs but always spawn doms
boss/legendary mobs are super hard they always whip you out they are really atoned to their surroundings meaning bushes dont work if they get close and their basicly apex preditors no matter what they spawn in as even showing humanistic signs like knowing how cameras work
boss/legendary types have also been seen to leave a parting gift on researchers cameras with a kiss or a pussy shot to sorta tease their prey into trying again
if you hunt a boss or legendary type remember to bring your A game as they will surly do the same
another reason for this as well is to assign pp points higher raritys would give more and more with bosses being close to 2k or more depending on eco
add a 50% chance that instead of a photo getting deleted it gets corrupted
also if you did add the sub and dom thing you could make doms 25% more likely to delete your photos thru well them being super aggressive and subs will be more gentle with you so they have a 25% chance to not delete your pictures
