Time sure flies huh? Today Sapphire Safari turns 3 years old! What an absolutely crazy ride it has been so far. The team is still hard at work building the dream game, and this year alone has been a massive step forward for the game!
As a birthday gift to you all, Sapphire Safari will be 50% off for the next 2 weeks! This will be your last chance to grab the game at this price since we won’t be dropping so low ever again! Also, today marks the day that v022c has been released, which i...

Welcome, everyone! The day has finally come: We have just updated Wet Nightmares to version 2.0. Let's break down what is new and what the user can expect for this build, as it has been a long time since we patched.
What’s New
Short answer: We remade the entire chapter 01 of Wet Nightmares from the ground up. Every single asset in the game has been fully overhauled to match Erkerut's updated rendering style. We have also overhauled the story and fixed so many bugs and UX prese...

Welcome explorers! Lots to talk about today, needless to say, we have been very very busy. Our focus has been entirely on the new Predator system, and I can say without a shadow of a doubt, that this feature will be one of your favorites.
Time to Hunt!
Predators will now spawn thirsty for a sweet treat, entering hunt mode which a pink mist around their eyes can indicate (don’t worry this does not show up in photos). They will stalk their prey and wait for an opportune time to ...

Hello everyone, as of today we will now be offering bi-weekly Internal Builds to our supporters at the VIP Member tier. These builds are the internal versions of the game we use for testing and finding bugs before releasing patches. We only really wanted to do this to give our most supportive fans a chance to look even further behind the curtain of our development.
What is an Internal Build?
Well for starters it's like the rawest possible version of the game you can play. There ...

Welcome explorers! Yeah I know, dev times for this “micro patch” were f’n brutal. We sincerely apologize to those expecting a quicker turnaround. We had a lot happen during this patch, stuff like lead staff leaving and new staff coming in, moving houses, funerals, etc. Sometimes real life just kicks you in the gonads. However, the dev part of the patch also threw us into a loop, the proposed timeframe for updating the doll system to its final form was 2-3 weeks. In the end, that whole p...

Hello everyone! Thank you very much for your patience in waiting for news about Wet Nightmares and our development. There is always a big question floating around as to when the next patch will come so let me quickly put everyone’s hearts to rest.
Wet Nightmares Chapter 01 is now in a Gold state, meaning that the first chapter has been fully completed, and all the polish and shine needed to make the chapter amazing has been added. The release for this will be coming in the next couple...

I won’t get into the nitty-gritty too much here as those details you can read about in our last dev diary. But scoring previously was based on the distance to the target and how obstructed they are in the photo. What result...

Hello everyone! It has been a few weeks since we dropped any information about our development for the game. The short version is that we are currently working on overhauling the scoring tech in the game, we have met some issues with specifically how Unreal Engine handles focusing and reporting that back to a usable state so we are building our workarounds.
That does not mean we have been sitting idle though, let’s break down some of the brand-new features expected to drop when the sc...

Hello explorers! Welcome to another patch day for Sapphire Safari. Version 020 is about stealth, and getting proper feedback for sneaking around the island. Let’s get into it.
Stealth and UX
As hinted in the last two dev blogs we have been working on getting the UX and UI for stealth feedback working and feeling solid. The way monsters react to you needed to be completely reworked to make the system we will be launching today which is why it took us a little longer than expect...

As I explained in the previous Sapphire Documents issue, we have changed how players control their trusty camera and created a few new QOL tools to help snap the perfect photo.
First though, a disclaimer. You can no longer take several photos within a qu...

To put that into perspective, the entire game that is available to the public right now is only 30,000 words. This would make department 2 t...
