Some of the biggest mechanical changes to the core loop of Sapphire are in this patch, if you have not already seen the last Sapphire Documents Issue where we go over the Photo Stacking mechanic and other small changes the jist is that now Photos are stacked together if taken roughly in the same location and time frame. It should lead to a very diverse Monpedia and allow players to focus on taking lots of photos instead of conserving their photo roll.

A huge sweeping balance patch has taken place on the Island as well, now creatures will take up General actions and stay inside them for longer. You will see fewer aimless wandering around, and more activities and intercourse.

The Monsutra has also received some love, with 21 new sex animations added to the game, some of which are multi-gendered and work on every combination. With this, we now have a good amount of content for those who never want to see a dong. Speaking of dongs, Jamie can now come packing heat! She can choose from a regular meat dong or a strapon cosmetic! The strap-on affects her standard costume as well, for a little extra somethin’.

Achievements and Expedition Logs are now fully trackable via the Collections tab in the Guide Book. From here you’ll have a nice way to keep track of everything you can discover in Sapphire Safari! You can also now replay the Expedition Logs from the menu as well! Achievements are a very nice addition to the game, and bookend the completion experience Sapphire Safari is moving towards. There might be some oddities in how they are currently tracking, but things will be smoothed out as we develop the system more.

The main menu has received a nice overhaul as well, we have updated buttons for news postings, social, community, bug reporting, and our lovely roadmap. No matter the version you’re playing these will always be up-to-date! The save slots have also received a new coat of paint! Each slot shows off the chosen photographer and his/her stats in the game! We also added a fourth save slot!

NOTE: The completion counter WILL be buggy for saves older than version 024, you can continue to play the old saves but you will see some interesting numbers and such, this will affect the Photography License upgrades as well. Play Time and Photos Taken are new tracking metrics so older saves will have no data to load, it should track these going forward. For the best experience with this system please consider making a new save file. 

We have finally admitted defeat with the cursed flashbang bug from the cum fluid system. So we have pulled it from the game. Instead, we are going with a customized Niagra Ribbon Trail system. It should remove any complication with FPS drops and still look very reasonable for ejaculate. It will be an ongoing mechanic though. Naturally, we also removed any system options related to those old systems.

Nighttime will no longer be dreadfully dark with the brand new hip lamp for the photographers, it will automatically come on during dusk and be disabled during the day, it does not do anything for the AI it mostly just smooths over the darkness that can sometimes be too overbearing in the game.

Plus a lot more!
