v0.25

Tig ol’ Bitties
You can now change the sizes of the creatures' breasts in the game to suit your needs. By default, they are randomized, but you have complete control over what scale you’d prefer to see.

Default (regular size as designed), Random, Small (smaller than default), Medium (slightly bigger), and Large (bazongas).

Sadly the croc won’t have any changes due to her never having breasts to begin with. Such is life…

Speaka ma language!
We now have a total of 12 supported languages for Sapphire Safari. These are machine-translated so expect some wobbly translations here and there. It is very difficult to do LQA on languages we do not speak so I hope our lovely community can point out any glaring issues.

Languages include: English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Japanese, Polish, Russian, Thai, Ukrainian, and Chinese (Simplified and Traditional). We will only have English Voice work though.

On the topic of speaking, we have also fixed the cursed Lipsync the humans had

Peepin for Science
You can now enter bushes and peep out of them without being exposed! And to top it off the Photographer will be able to enter stealth mode automatically even if they are standing up as long as the bush or foliage is big enough to cover them!

There is also a nice UI darkening effect when you are hidden from sight, which should help stay in the shadows better.

Achievements for all!
The last big one is that now we have finally added all the early game achievements we wanna add, plus have done extensive bug testing to make sure they are triggering correctly and registering on Steam’s backend!

You can also 100% the entire game now, it took me like 30-40 hours of raw doggin the game to get there, but it is entirely possible without issue. You’ll even get a fancy License upgrade on the main menu for your save slot if you pull it off!

And a whooooole lot more!

v0.22b

So why did it take so long? The older doll system was pretty unique, for one sex pose - let's take doggy in this example - required a start/intro, a slow, medium, and fast core loop, a finisher, and post-finisher animations for each pose, for each participant. The game using its tracking and needs data for each NPC would then choose which animations to play based on their stamina, their lust, etc. It was stupidly complicated and created a lot of tech debt and jank. Mons would not be synced correctly, or they would not animate long enough for player discovery.

Instead, we ripped all that away (including the NPC needs), and built the sex system off the back of the Smart Object system. Now when a monster spawns, she is given 3 tasks, she seeks one out and does it. If someone enters a sex Smart Object, another mon is pushed to seek out and join, and voila, the sex magically works, jank-free. The removal of the old system required a lot of cleaning, and the new system needed a lot of tweaking. Some interesting examples we had to contend with during development include:

• Too many girls wanted to get some fuckywucky and it made the world very underpopulated.

• Too many girls are obsessed with coming over and over.

• The bees are too horny and ruining threesomes by overcrowding.

• Girls sliding around the world jerking off.

• Girls gain the power of flight after they cum.

17 unique sex animations are being added to the game which include Female x Female, Futa x Female/Futa, and Futa x Tiny (bee). It is worth pointing out that while we do support the removal of all Futa content from the game your play experience will be vastly different from the intended design. For the best results please use Medium or High Futa spawn rates.

It is also far from being completed as well, we made the unfortunate discovery that because our generic animation rig is too different from what the monster girls look like, every animation is off by like 10 centimeters, so penetrations are not what we intend for them to be. The solution for this is to redo all the animations with a monster girl-sized animation rig instead, so that will be pushed into the next patch.

New Features for v022b
After all the doll system overhaul, there is a lot more added to the game that is worth discussing. The first big addition is the new fluid cum system. Now when the ladies goo they actually goo! Naturally, we have a few different ways this can impact the performance of your computer as it is a fluid simulation that mathematically sticks to models - very difficult to build that - it will shoot from the right place, cover whatever it lands on, combine, and stick to models. If you turn off the fluids to save GPU power you will instead get a sprite spray which, won’t stick to much, but it still looks nice. Especially the Bee girl, she can get absolutely covered in batter.

We also fixed the floating hand jerk-off issue as well using an IK system which directs the tip of dongs into the right holes/hands. However, because model sizes are slightly different the actual execution will vary. We plan to normalize all the models going forward so these slight deviations won't be an issue.

Grass now dynamically flattens around sex acts in the game, we might need to come back to this as it can look a little wonky at times when you zoom in from a distance but the flattening is very useful for taking clearer shots when you’re on the same level as your subjects.

Sex now has sound! Plaps, slaps, penetrations, and ejaculations are now dynamically added to the audio soundscapes, you will be able to find sex happening around you just by keeping your ears open. We have also added a temp vocal track to the sex as well, which is mostly used to give us an idea of what exactly needs to be recorded via actresses as it is also a dynamic system.

Plus a bunch more smaller fixes!

• Jamie has a brand new locomotion which makes her far more feminine.

• Monster Girls will not be aware of the player's presence while they are asleep, they will wake up if you make noise or startle another girl.

• Upgraded the engine to Unreal v5.4.2.

• Corrected a boatload of shapekey errors for Monster Girl faces.

• Updated lighting models to improve nighttime visibility.

• Map light sources and props have been overhauled.

And that about sums up everything in this “micro patch”. Our next focus should include a lot more interesting gameplay mechanics as we will be turning our attention to the Predator AI system and how that flows into the current gameplay. Here is a short list of our next patch goals.

• Mating tab for Monpedia for all species.

• Predator AI system.

• Predator spawning system.

• Predator capture and animation system.

• Failure state for capture.

v0.0.4

Two new systems called VLife and Doll. Both systems allowed for greater interactions and responses for the players to enjoy.
Moved to Unreal Engine 5

v0.0.3

Cuddle UI overhaul: The previous system flat out did not work, we have refined the UI to focus on the UX experience. Now you can tab between Tools, Toys, and Poses to direct your cuddle fantasies.
Cuddle pile: We have created the foundation for what will be a fantastic multiple partner system. The eventual goal is to allow multiple monster girls to join in on the cuddle session and for that, we needed a simple system for swapping and including multiple monsters in the system.
GUI update: This build features a very simple GUI update to give direction on how to interact with the systems in the game. When you enter the cuddle mode you’ll have a popup to direct you into accessing the new UX features. Simply press “H” to review them once more.
PC update: The pc in the player camp now has a controller-friendly and more clear UI associated with it. It is not fully implemented but the features should be more robust than they were previously.
Model Update: Monster girls are now more updated than ever, the horse model has more “horse-like” features and the girls’ models are more up-to-date with the current rig requirements.
Flattened play area: We have made a small change to the play area for the idle monster girls to fix clipping issues presented by uneven ground.

v0.0.1a

Mechanics in the Alpha:
The Monster Girls in the current alpha are as follows:
Bunbuns: A yellow bunny-type creature with a lot of joy to share.
Tsunbee: A bee-like creature with a terrible attitude.
Crabby: A crustacean like no other, can be seen digging in the sand.
Lizzurn: A striking reptile with a cheeky disposition.
Use your camera to take photos of the Monster Girls around the play space, right-click to enter the viewfinder or aiming mode. Use the mouse wheel to adjust the zoom. Hold ALT and scroll the mouse wheel to adjust the focus. If the camera detects a Monster Girl you will see a red box around their heads. Snap a photo to capture the moment!
Stealth is working in the build, but it is quite simple for the time being. Use the CTRL button to crouch, slowing your walking speed and making you hard to spot. The Monster Girls have a vision cone that is interrupted by objects and fauna. So hiding in a bush to get those candid shots is the goal!
In this demo space, you will have 10 total shots you can take in your camera, however, you can empty the storage by interacting with the campsites computer. Here you can store the photos you like, and delete the ones you don’t. The UI is quite simple here but eventually using the computer you’ll be able to submit your photos for cash and for bounties.
A basic day-night system, spend enough time roaming the demo space and you’ll notice day cycles into night and back into day again. You can speed things up by interacting with the bed at your campsite.
