Welcome Photographers to the new year! 2026 is the year of the horse! Unfortunately we won't be able to add horses just yet – we gotta make far too many new animations for just one new creature to make it happen. Just prefacing that heh.
Anyways… 2026 is gonna be a big year for our development team. Lets breakdown our plans and goals!
Q1 (Jan, Feb, Mar)
Starting off hot, we have a patch for the beta branch 90% ready. The original goal was to have it done before Christm...

Well, well, well. What can I say? The wait, you’ll find it was definitely worth it. Today I have an absolutely monstrous update for the Samara lovers out there. Wet Nightmares beta version 4.01, this update is the full chapter 3 experience completely blocked out, and this is something you can experience right now on the brand new beta for Wet Nightmares! It will download a whole new game and will ONLY be Chapter 3. It will not have any nice menus or support your old saves, but you can see e...

Hello Photographers! And welcome to the new players Sapphire Safari has gained since our launch on Steam! I will be very honest with you all, the support, feedback, and community growth since we entered Early Access has been downright incredible. I have spent most of my time interacting and commenting on everything everyone has been doing and saying about the game. I have seen countless players strive for that S-Ranked photography license, seen amazing works of fan art, sated the curiosity of...

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 correc...

Hello Photographers, a quick hotfix patch for version 023. We had a good amount of feedback on the last patch which had a bunch of movement issues and crashes inside due to the numerous changes.
A couple of things to note - this hotfix will NOT be compatible with old saves including saves from v023. This is partly to solve possible issues with users somehow loading very old saves and circumnavigating the compatibility fix.
I have also added a Troubleshooting Guide to the installat...

Welcome Photographers! Version 023 is a girthy girthy boy, and there is a tremendous amount to go over in this patch. So I won’t tease you any longer…
NOTE: v023 of Sapphire Safari will require a new save file to function correctly. You will not be able to load previous saves. Too many new things were added and we won’t be able to troubleshoot complications from using older versions.
I am honored to show you all what we have built over the past two months,...

It’s cold out there, the warmth of a lone cabin draws you in. The wood beneath your feet groans under your weight. Collect yourself, and knock.
Wet Nightmares v3.0 is out right now and it has also launched on Steam in the Early Access program! Developing this game has been a right of passage for everyone involved. It started as a solo project for Erkerut, and with the involvement of Kinky Fridays, the game has come leaps and bounds since then.

Happy Holidays everyone! It’s been a hell of a year for team Kinky Fridays, we have been hard at work smashing out Sapphire Safari for you all and honestly, we are so close to crossing into the beta territory (beta as in, base mainline mechanics are all operational and now we focus on extra mechanics and main content). We have never been this confident in our game and it is all for one reason alone.

Hello Photographers! Feedback is still rolling in after the excellent v022d patch dropped. So much so that we have another optimization and crashfix Hotfix ready for you all to enjoy! First though a couple of big pieces of news.
As of today, we will be dropping Linux native support.
The reason for this is simply that we are unable to efficiently support the development of the game on that operating system. Each unique branch of Linux comes with its complications and we are simpl...

Hello Photographers, the last week we have been collecting all the crash logs you sent in and working overtime to fix them all! Again, I need to thank you all very much for that, the help in finding these things will prove to be extremely helpful going forward. So it is my great pleasure to share with you all today a Hotfix Patch that should considerably increase the game's performance and reduce the usage of hardware across the board, with the bonus of making the download size much smaller.<...

Hello photographers! Welcome to another issue of the Sapphire Documents, today we have a whole lot to talk about so let's just JUMP (hehe) into it.
The Jump
Yes, yes. I know. You’ve all wanted it, so we have added it. Jamie and Oscar can now jump within the game world. We had to make a few mechanics for the locomotion to work correctly and there are likely some bugs related to it but for the most part, the tech is functional and it opens up some great traversal options.
