This is a copy of our v005 release post for early adopters over on Itch.
Hello explorers! Welcome to version 005 of Sapphire Safari! This patch was focused on two things. The first was our development team responding to feedback from our customers and followers have given. The second was to build the Doll System into the game. How did we do? Let’s find out!
Menus Galore!
The biggest feedback we received was about the lack of game settings, so a big focus was ensuring we nailed it on v005. Now we have built a full 3d menu experience, complete with concepts for visualizations, along with a functioning Gallery and Settings menu.
The Gallery
Here you’ll find all the photos you’ve taken in Sapphire Safari, eventually, we will have a very detailed system for filtering and managing your photos. However, in v005, we will only allow players to view a full-sized photo and delete photos from in-game. You can access the full photos via the shortcut in the game directory still.
The Settings
Here you’ll be able to tweak your game experience, resolution, keybindings, and much more. We have a special “game” tab just for setting up how large your photos will be and how much Futa content you be exposed to. You can turn Futa off completely or, make it all about the dong. Your choice.
We will expand this menu to include a lot of our other features and such, but for now, you can get a good idea of where we want to take this game just from the basic menu layout. So have fun exploring that!
Furries on their Backs!
Introducing the first integration of our Doll System! Right now the system is quite lightweight, but give us a few more patches and this feature will be BURSTING with lewd and customizable content. For now, the keybindings menu does not contain the buttons needed to access the Doll System, so please read below for the keybindings.
Let’s break it down. First, find yourself a tasty Monster Girl and get close enough to interact with her using the “F” key. You can have up to three followers at once!
Second, find a nice spot to lay her down on her back (since we only have missionary in the game right now). You do this by pressing the “TAB” key which will spawn a hologram of the position and orientation the Furry of choice will eventually take up. Press Mouse 1 to lock it in, this will bring you to the Doll Menu.
Third, within this menu, you can use the mouse to spin the camera, and the mouse wheel to zoom closer. Hitting the “E” key will allow you to choose the follower you want to assume the position on the ground. Hit the “Enter” button twice to confirm.
Lastly, with your chosen Furry on her back being patient you will now be able to rub your mouse cursor over her and move her limbs however you like.
In the future partners will be added to this scene allowing for a full spectrum of sexual content from 1 on 1 love making to dirty cum coated orgies. Just have to take it one step at a time.
Girls of all Colors!
You might have noticed a few different colored Monster Girls in our photos above because now they all have about 5 different variations they can spawn in! There are some that are really rare and very difficult to find. Eventually snapping photos of each type will be part of the Monpedia but for now, just enjoy the different flavors of Monster!
Linux Build
We also managed to get Linux working for Sapphire Safari this build! Users will have to make sure to mark it as executable in the properties tab of the .SH file. There might be a few oddities like the viewfinder in the camera flickering, but it should work fine!
