20 announcements from the publisher, newest first.
The original pitch for Sapphire Safari was furry gal creatures on an island with a little spice of futa thrown in, following the release our community instantly asked where da men at? It was a question of scope for our team, it doubled the size of our projected creature count (from 60 to 120), it doubled the vocal talent requirements, and it increased the technical debt of the project.

Welcome photographers! Version 029 of Sapphire Safari marks a monumental change in the game and our development pipeline. The Lifestyle Director was the final piece of the puzzle that makes up the core gameplay system. It is a change focused on creating an environment simulation – opposed to a randomized experience. Sapphire Island now plays host to hundreds of persistent creatures, each species with their habitats around the plains, schedules, and desires. But why? The goal was simple. Remove RNG from Sapphire Safari.
[/img]
[/dynamiclink]
Progress marches forward, this patch is all about fine-tuning creature reactions and how the new lifestyle director system drives the gameplay. Some highlights for you all: creatures hunt other creatures and chase them around the island, creatures react to the player and other creatures react to that creature's reaction of danger, creatures return to their nest at night. Overall we are very close to achieving our desired feel for the persistent spawns. We are still working on how the game can sometimes feel a little empty, how creatures can somewhat be a little predictable, and how the spored effect can make the player invisible.
Excited to hear you’re feedback!

Our focus continues to be on the new Lifestyle Director system in Sapphire Safari. This patch focuses on the concept of creatures spawning in and around their designated nest locations. It still is a WIP, however, creatures of a similar type will congregate around each other until their need for adventure is high enough for them to strike out and explore. It means that Sweedees can be mostly found at their beehive, with some mingling with the rest of the creatures in the plains themselves. This goes for all the creatures and future additions.

Hello photographers! The long-awaited lifestyle director is here in the form of a beta, as today's patch is a fundamental shift in how creatures are spawned, managed, and laying the foundation on the new behaviors to come in future patches. Our previous system was only 10 creatures on the island at once, now we have 250 per biome. The current patch will fill the plains with creatures and that are persistent. This means if you find a creature you like, it will continue to exist until you leave the game. True persistence.
Expect bugs and unexpected reactions. A lot has changed and feedback is needed to assess how the changes affect customers. Check the known bugs below for details.
Animations have finally been released, there is a big focus on making penetrations work. Yet, with the new step system we are implementing to build a better pipeline their is likely going to be some skeleton and physics-related issues to contend with.
Lighting has also had a massive shift with further adjustments needed to get the final design. But expect a darker game space at night, more reactive lighting reactions and better time-of-day vibes.
Lastly the plains is received another overhaul, with the east of the map gaining extended regions into the future desert biome and more POI’s for upcoming creature nests.

Hello, potential actors!
Thank you all for taking the time to read through our audition for our game, Sapphire Safari. For a bit of context to get you all up to speed, please read through this document and submit your audios to dave@kinkyfridays.com. We would appreciate clean audio with a good level of volume for the game, as all characters will need to yell, be angry, orgasm, laugh, and make shocked reactions. One other requirement: if you choose to submit an audition for more than one character, be sure to separate each character into its own audio file.
Disclaimer: We will not be accepting vocal work from Female actors (additional roles are coming in the future, so we would like you to apply then). We want to include as many actors as possible in Sapphire Safari, so if you are accepted, know that future roles will not be offered.
[/img]
Sapphire Safari is a fantastical photography adventure in an unexplored landscape teeming with secrets, beautiful vistas, and unique wildlife. The game has been in production for a few years now and is a full 3D open-world game built on Unreal Engine 5. You play as one of two characters, tasked with documenting the new wildlife and scenery that Sapphire Island is home to. However, the scientists who arrived before you are nowhere to be found. Follow the clues left behind, unravel the mystery of their disappearance, document the island, and try not to enjoy the island's natives too much.

Sapphire Safari contains Furry, Futa, Orgies, Predator/Prey Dynamics (hunting for sex as an example), Supernatural Drugs, Human on Furry, Human on Human, Female on Female, Futa on Male, Futa on Futa, Toy Play, and some GOR (Game over Rape) content. After males are added, the following will be included: Male on Male, Male on Futa, Human Male on Male. Female on Male.
[/img][/img][/img][/img]
For audition number four, we will be finding the voices of the three male variants for species that already exist in the game. Choose as many roles as you’d like to submit; just be sure to separate the audio for each character into their own files.
On full launch, there will be a total of 60+ creature types; currently, we have only 12 creature species. The full script for Minor Roles will include syncing moans and orgasm sounds to animations for various different speeds.
Note: The Animal roles in Sapphire Safari have no spoken dialogue; instead, we ask that you take a look at the creature art and try to embody how you believe they would sound. We also have a size classification for the game; these are the general sizes for the creature in relation to average human height. Every creature can be Futa, Female, or Male. The creatures will also use something similar to “Simlish,” something like gibberish, to converse with another creature during social activities.
[/img]
These creatures are not very numerous on the island, but they exist to stalk and harass the player as they adventure around the island. They will grab the player and use them to pleasure themselves if they are caught. They can also be seen “hunting” other wildlife if their needs are not being met for sexual release. Furthermore, they generally have a more aggressive personality and vocals should reflect that.
Caiadaly are usually found anywhere where there is water. They especially enjoy waterholes and riverways where they can fully submerge themselves and lie in wait for prey. They are also more than willing to emerge from the water and chase down their prey if it's necessary.
Audition Lines:
Idle: sounds made while undisturbed
Idle Hunt: sounds made while hunting
Shocked: sounds made after discovering the player, shocked followed by aggressive sounds.
[/img]
Through unknown means, the Malous conceals itself from sight. It is able to achieve complete invisibility, and its presence is only known by smell, sound and a strange fog that follows it as it traverses the island. Despite its appearance, the Malous is not predatory and prefers to avoid contact if possible. It seems surprised that we are able to notice its presence.
Audition Lines:
Idle: sounds made while undisturbed
Idle Hunt: sounds made while hunting
Shocked: sounds made after discovering the player, shocked followed by aggressive sounds.
[/img]
Kokai prefer to spend their time concealed in tall grass and bushes. They usually wait for unsuspecting prey to pass by them, then strike them down in a sudden burst of movement. They are capable of running incredibly fast over short distances, but they typically tire out pretty quickly as well.
When they aren't on the prowl for prey animals, they will either remain out of sight or spend their time sunbathing. The plains are their ideal habitat for these very reasons, as there is plenty of sunlight and grassy areas to hide in. While primarily active during the day, they have been known to enter the burrows of bunets during dusk as well.
Audition Lines:
Idle: sounds made while undisturbed
Idle Hunt: sounds made while hunting
Shocked: sounds made after discovering the player, shocked followed by aggressive sounds.
[/img]
This is the fourth audition we have run for Sapphire Safari, and we now have an excellent idea of the average costs for previous recording sessions. The work needed in total should be roughly $220 USD per character. The work itself is simple audio barks that need to meet an emotion; the length of each “clip” is 1-2 seconds long, with each line requiring 5-10 different “clips”.
Successful applicants will be given the full details of the work required, along with previous work samples, so they can replicate what we need to match the systems in-game, along with vocal stims or ticks the female recordings established.
You will be required to invoice our company for the work you do. Details on this will be given once the time for payment arrives.
For your submissions, please do the following.

Hello photographers! Our team has been hard at work crafting what will be a massive change to how Sapphire Safari plays, so I wanted to give you all a heads-up on what's happening.
We have mentioned this before, but our new animation overhaul is coming to a head. We have been working with our new animation team to remaster all the existing animations to include penetrations and redesign the positions to allow for a smoother experience when multiple creatures use the same animation.
[/img]
In the game, we have made massive adjustments to creature sizes and the animation pipeline so previously locked animation to creature sizes can now be used by creatures that match the requirements. For example there are animations that are currently only usable by Tiny creatures (sweedee and salatonie), with the new pipeline they can be used for any combination of what we call two step sizes. In this example that would mean Tiny x Medium sizes, Small x Large sizes, and Medium x Enormous sizes.
[/img]
As a result of the math involved, Tiny classification has increased in size, while the Enormous size has come down some. Though they are still extremely diverse compared to the player model, here is how big the Enormous size is compared to Jamie.
[/img]
Along with the new animation work we also took the time to remaster our intro cinematic. Within the intro we plan to add in new save file customizations including photographer customization and island flavor settings (futa, male, female spawn options and other assorted settings).
[/img]
To make effective changes to creature behaviors, we needed to start fresh on how the island handles creature spawns. Our current playable system was very basic and only served to give the island the feeling of density. It came with a slew of RNG-related completion issues, optimization issues, dead AI for recently spawned in creatures, the list goes on and on. Our new system is hand made and extremely optimized.
In this GIF, the beginning shows the spawn distance possibly currently, in the second half you can see the new Lifestyle Director spawns in action.
[/img]
The goal is to populate the island with persistent spawns, to populate regions of the island with expected creatures so players can learn where to find a creature they want to photograph. A good example of expected behaviors is creatures congregating around their nest entrances. With some of them breaking off to explore the island. Currently we have the spawning system working as shown above, along with all the current systems in the game. So expect a beta patch for this soon.
The next steps will be to build new creature behaviors and an individual needs system. In the future expect that:
Creatures will seek sources to fulfill needs they have. Example: seeking entertainment if they are bored, water if they are thirsty.
[/*]Creatures will return to their nests once their resting time arrives. I.e., going to bed at night, with their beds being in their nests.
[/*]Creatures hiding from the rain.
[/*]Creatures moving together in herds.
[/*]Creatures being assigned jobs to complete in the environment: Ie Sweedee pollinating plants.
[/*]Species having their own unique behaviors. Ie a cheetah predator only reacting to the player if they run near them.
[/*]These are just some features the Lifestyle Director will be adding to the game. And we are making excellent progress with it. The new spawning system even though there are hundreds of creatures visible at once is actually less impactful on system resources. Yay for good planning.
The process for creating our male creature variants is going well. We have crafted four of the total twelve creatures and the audition for three of them is wrapping up currently. They won’t be included into Sapphire until we have more of the Lifestyle Director complete to give them a more diverse behaviour catalogue. Males are not Females afterall.
[/img]
As a result of the Lifestyle Director the map of Sapphire Island is being expanded. There will be a greater distance added between the nest locations of each species along with moving a lot of these locations around to better suit the species in question. For example, Lustra will get a dam nest within the river area.
Creature and environmental lighting is getting upgraded as well. The first is that in general we wanted the creatures and player character to react more to the lighting of the environment. Creatures should be reflective to the time of day and other sources of light. It means everything feels brighter and less bland as a result.
[/img]
There is another small change we are making to how reflective creature irises are. Something that happens in real life with photography and light is animal eyes will be reflective at particular distances. If the player is further away you’ll be able to see eyes looking at you through darker areas.
[/img][/img]
Bundled with the persistent spawns will be upgrades to the camera that take advantage of it, including more lenses like a telescopic lens and very likely something in the middle zoom category. We are also moving the tracking tech to a module system so players can disable or enable the system as they desire.
[/dynamiclink]
That’s all for now, keep your eyes open for new beta drops in the near future with some exciting but buggy systems for you all to test!

One of the most numerous species found in the plains. Bunets live in large communal burrows. These burrows can be found all over the plains and are interconnected by a series of underground tunnels. As with every species found here, Bunets have an incredibly high libido. They have proven to be one of the easiest species to handle.
As for the creatures themselves, they are much like their more ordinary rabbit-like counterparts found in the outside world. They are timid, quick to flee and ever alert for predators. However, our presence on the island has elicited much curiosity from these Bunets. Though they avoid predatory species, they are seemingly more than willing to approach humans and handle human-made objects. They are primarily active during the day and return to their burrows at dusk.
Audition Lines:
Idle: sounds made while undisturbed
Happiness: sounds made while enjoying an activity
Shocked: sounds made after discovering the player, shocked followed by annoyed sounds.

These fast sprinting natives travel across the plains in groups. While they have been witnessed foraging alone, they prefer the company of other Rudier when possible. They are an extremely wary species, and even the slightest noise can set them off and send them scattering in all directions. However, it is possible to gradually get them used to human contact.
They seem to have a distinct migratory pattern, choosing to graze at various stop points across the plains. These stop points are often locations for spontaneous orgies as well. Early observations would conclude they only mate within their species, but they have been spotted fornicating with several other creatures on the island.

These creatures are not very numerous on the island, but they exist to stalk and harass the player as they adventure around the island. They will grab the player and use them to pleasure themselves if they are caught. They can also be seen “hunting” other wildlife if their needs are not being met for sexual release. Furthermore, they generally have a more aggressive personality and vocals should reflect that.
The most common predator of the plains. The Furloin Fox is not only quiet, it is incredibly cunning. Out of the many species we've encountered so far, this one is undoubtedly one of the smartest. It seems to treat predation like it is a game, often letting its prey think it's escaped before pouncing on it. It seems to particularly enjoy hunting the same individuals multiple times, slowly improving its hunting technique with each chase. Like most species within the plains, the Furloin is typically active during the day.
The Furloin seems to be delighted to have new, intelligent prey wandering around the island. This could be due to humans employing strategies and technology to evade capture, thus making hunting more thrilling.
Audition Lines:
Idle: sounds made while undisturbed
Idle Hunt: sounds made while hunting
Shocked: sounds made after discovering the player, shocked followed by aggressive sounds.

This is the third audition we have run for Sapphire Safari, and we now have an excellent idea of the average costs for previous recording sessions. The work needed in total should be roughly $220 USD per character. The work itself is simple audio barks that need to meet an emotion, the length of each “clip” is 1-2 seconds long, with each line requiring 5-10 different “clips”.
Successful applicants will be given the full details of the work required, along with previous work samples, so they can replicate what we need to match the systems in-game along with vocal stims or ticks the female recordings established.
You will be required to invoice our company for the work you do. Details on this will be given once the time for payment arrives.
