Sapphire Safari - Early Access v025

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!
