Okay! So here it is. Our first major patch since launching into Early Access. Quite the ride so far, you can check out a quick reflection on what's happened so far with our latest Dev Diary here: https://subscribestar.adult/posts/1779252 Let’s jump into it!
Inverse Kinematics + Genital Socket Fixes Big time fix here. This new system is implemented to smooth the disconnect between models and animation. The long and short of it is that animations are made to be a “one size fits all”, but all models are different sizes. It has led to some animations feeling floaty and disconnected. The IK system corrects all this by rooting the pelvis, head, hands, and feet to points controlled with math. Penis’s are now also controlled by a socket system, so they are guided into the orifice we decide, and are dynamically hidden to boot. Each model will now attempt to do its best to be in the correct position based on its mesh, hands go on legs and bums, feet go on the ground, and hips slap into hips.
Head pats also work as intended!
The results are really good, but there may be some oddities that come about due to performance-related things. You might see some strange positions of hands or torsos. We have done all we can for the time being to get it ready, but you never know what happens when the majority gets their hands on it.
The TLDR here is that the system is functional and much better. There may be some issues, so please report them to us if you see anything.
Rival in Camp Your photographer rival can now be found wandering around at the Campsite. You can approach them and do two things. The first is by tapping the Interact key, you’ll be able to do any of the unlocked Monsutra acts in your collection. The second, by holding down the Interact key, is to swap your playable character with the rival. This will change everything about the save file character to the rival. This includes the Photography License on the save file itself. Your progress will not be altered.
Self Service Players can now masturbate in the game world, just select the lube bottle from the tool menu with the Cycle Tool key and hold down the Use button (mouse 1 for most players). The photographer will begin taking care of business, and if you’re lucky enough, you’ll attract the attention of creatures. They can join you jerking off, or simply watch what you’re doing.
Lots of QOL While the team was busy with the IK update, we also added some quality of life features to the game. Things like: Stationary orbit camera for viewing the photographer better, monsutra polyacts partner randomization, compass and map alignment, ragdoll updates, additional futa filters for futa predators only, testicle physics, controller sensitivity sliders, access to physical photo storage folder, delete options for gallery, and a pause for Steam Overlay for Steam Deck users. Lots and lots and lots. Check out the full changelog below for all the new additions and bug fixes.
Thanks again for being patient with us as we get the IK sorted out. It turned out to be a vastly more complicated fix than we anticipated. We added one series of IK, and three more needed to be added to correct fixes. Overall, we had to check each pairing of creatures on all fortyish animations present in the game currently. I hope you enjoy the new new!
Hello Photographers! What a momentous occasion! After years of dev work, the day is finally here! Sapphire Safari has launched on Steam! Version 025 is chock full of QOL features and updates based on the Steam Nextfest demo feedback. Lots of stuff is in the build, so let's quickly go over it now.
Just as a starting point, we were working tirelessly to get this build ready in time. One feature was unable to be completed in a state we would consider release-worthy, and that was the corrective IK system for the sex animations. However, the system is working, it just needs more time to polish. So following the launch of this build, the team will get back to polishing up the IK tech for the animations, and in a couple of days, we expect to have v026 ready, just to make all the animations feel as good as they can be! Just let us cook a little longer!
Okay, update time!
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!
