Sapphire Safari - Pink Moon Haunt v022d
🕑 Added 2024-10-31 20:04:35 +0000 UTCPhotographers, I hope you’re ready for a spooooooky Sapphire Safari patch! v022d is our LONG awaited update, offering new mechanics around familiarity, exploration, polish, sounds, and fixes! Buckle up!
Spooky Time
First, let's chat about the new seasonal content we have added to Sapphire Safari! The Pink Moon Haunt is the first “global event” in the game. Events are a new mechanic based on the time system. Normally, events are “localized” to a particular region, but “global” events occur all over the Island. The Pink Moon happens every full moon (every 14 in-game days).
When a full moon appears in the sky, the landscape fills with toxic aphrodisiac spores, driving all the native species wild with lust. Predators, Prey, Humans, it does not matter, the only thing that does is ejaculating. The Pink Moon global event is a fantastic opportunity to photograph the natives under this new effect called “spored” since otherwise, it is a rare occurrence. Just be careful as the natives are very very eager to taste you.
To make the Halloween event feel good we have included a special button on top of the Campsite which will speed up time and force the Pink Moon event to spawn, regardless of the lunar state. So enjoy being swept away! This button will only be here for this patch. You can also summon the Pink Moon by using the beds at Camp to skip forward in time.
Familiarity and Monsutra
Oh yes, it is finally here. The long-awaited system and mechanics for player progression and sex. These two new systems work hand in hand to give players an engaging system to reward their photography skills. Here is how it all works.
As you photograph the island natives and submit them to Monpedia, the species' Familiarity score increases. The amount depends on the quality of the photo.
Grow the Familiarity score enough that the species levels up from Feral to Curious, Curious to Friendly. With each tier, the species will react differently to the Photographer if they are spotted.
Instead of fleeing, they will now pose for photographs, and if you’ve managed to become Friendly they will even allow for several interactions. Headpats and any discovered Sex Acts on the island.
The discovery tool Monsutra is a collection of sex acts the Photographer has managed to photograph on their adventure. Unlocking a sex act in the Monsutra allows that act to be recreated with Friendly species, you can even choose what role you wish to take during the animations, top, bottom, or somewhere in the middle. It depends on what tools your character has (hehe penis) and what the creature you’ve approached has.
Combining the two new systems we have a unique and special way to interact with the wildlife on Sapphire Island. The crazy part about this is just how much more content we can add to the game, we are launching this with a modest amount of animations, but we already have plans to expand the number of animations as more builds are added. This system is very robust and is a perfect complement to our small team's art pipeline. Thank you all very much for helping us get to this point, we experimented with a lot of styles and systems over the past 3 years, and this one is just right for us.
Tools for Feedback and Reporting
In the previous builds, we had some very interesting crash reports that we were unable to reproduce with our test hardware. To help with future crashes that come up we have built a brand new EXE file that produces crash reports if the game does crash. So now we can quickly and efficiently see the cause of major problems going forward.
I ask that if you do experience a crash, no matter how small. Please report it to us so we can work on fixing all issues. You can find the crash logs on your PC here: "C:\Users\{userName}\AppData\Local\SapphireSafari\Saved\Logs" and I would urge you to email them to dave@kinkyfridays.com or join our Discord community and submit them there.
Given how rushed the last part of this patch was so we could hit the Halloween deadline we expect there are a couple of things we need to polish up in a hotfix following this launch. So if you find anything please let us know!

I hope you all have an amazing Halloween! Stay safe!

Thank. Hey the game seems crash whenever I finish the Hieroglyphics and yes I have tried this on three different saves and got the same outcome so for now i'm going to bypass and no all new saves.

Taming? No. We have familiarity but the game is about photography and not becoming a part of the ecosystem. It is just not that type of game.

If you see two girls masturbating next to each other they are waiting on a third. We will be working on something to get threesomes happening more frequently though. It is likely just a product of the game working the way it does.
Silver
Hey new question will there be timing? In the future or no.

I dove into the game for about 7 hours. I really enjoyed the exploration. Somehow i didn't find a single threesome. Did the predator and Plant System make it extremely unlikely or was there a special trigger?
Silver
Yeah , I tried that setting and set everything to the lowest setting. But it only seems to persist when the black screen starts. Maybe in the next update. You may find a work around, but I'm enjoying the game anyway. Okay, new development i turned all the sittings down to low, including the cum fluids and went around and ain't got jumped but the fps didn't seem to drop on the black screen. It seems to be only on the player once finished and then it fades to black that's when the fps drops.
Kinky Fridays
In the graphics settings there is cum fluids. The higher on the very bottom this sim the more fps drop you might experience. Set this lower for a better experience.
Silver
Hey, just wondering is my FPS meant to tank after the screen goes to black after the fun times of course and yes, that's even when it's at the lowest setting or is that just me?
Kinky Fridays
You set a waypoint. You can remove it from the map. There is a tutorial about it.
