The spoops are upon us, and what better time to do a spoopy update for Wet Nightmares?
Development is moving along at an incredible pace, we are doing tests of the build internally and ensuring it is all perfect. Little bits of additional dialogue are being added to fix some misunderstandings and such. The hardest part about building this game is making sure the atmosphere is good, since we are working in a visual novel format here there isn’t much other than pacing we can do to affec...

Hello employees! We have been hard at work putting together everything we need for the second Department of Under Contract, and I wanna share our progress with you all! Just as a side note though, the team is kinda split between two major camps of work. The first is the programming and mechanics/systems development, and the second is narrative and art. The second Department is mostly a job for narrative and art, both take time to get right. So a new patch is due very soon to help you all with...

Hello everyone! A quick update to fill you all in on our progress thus far in building Wet Nightmares Chapters 1 and 2.
Progress has been good so far with building the next patch on Renpy. For the most part, Chapter 2 is in engine and now the focus has moved towards filling in missing art and polishing the presentation and atmosphere. Chapter 2 is pretty big, art wise, so the Erk is working hard on getting everything together.

Sapphire Safari has turned 2 years old! She has come leaps and bounds since we started building our game! To celebrate this fantastic happening, and the two years of labor we've poured into the game we have a 50% off sale running for the next four weeks on our Itch store. Get in while you can!
As for a look back, the earliest stuff we have is quite cringy but...

Salutations explorers! Welcome to our next patch for Sapphire Safari! Version 017, just a few days after our massive v016 release.
So unlike our other patches, this one will be short and sweet, so here we go.
AI Eyes and Sightlines
In the last patch, we had to turn off the eyesight for the roaming monster girls on the island, which in turn disabled the stealth mechanics of the game. It added a lot of computation requirements to the game leading to stuttering and just makin...

Hello explorers! As the development team breathes a sigh of relief at the final build of v016 has been completed the task now turns to me to write this - what will likely be a massive - release post.
So three and a half months of development time, what exactly did we accomplish? The game you all knew as Sapphire Safari has drastically changed. Gone are the small islands, the core loop map building, and the tiny user flow. In its place is a fully-fledged open-world photography game!

Hello explorers! Man, what a month, our projections had put us releasing v016 much earlier in August than we initially believed. The TLDR is that we are still working on implementing the overhaul of the sex system we are introducing. The reason is a lot of code debt, meaning we have revised the system too many times, it needed to be cleaned out of the game before it caused issues in the future.
We are close. Really close. I would not want you all to wait any longer without any updates f...

This will just be a quick post today to go over what we are working on right now, and the result of this is going to be the focus for the next patch of the game.
Level up your coworkers!
Coming in v0.4.6 is the leveling system for Richard and any coworkers he rescues on his climb to the top of the company. The basics are that beating any level in Under Contract will reward the active party member experience p...

Wassup explorers! Welcome to another Sapphire Documents Issue! Today we are talking all about the progress our team has made, along with a long-requested feature!
The angle of the dangle
Yes, you’ve guessed it, the team has created flaccid penis assets for our models. We have been putting off this long-requested feature for a while, as it was never essential. With the open-world rework, we decided “why not” and threw in the tech needed to arouse and unarouse?

Hello readers! Welcome to another update post for Wet Nightmares! Work is continuing at a good pace, and we hope to have a lot more than just a simple update to share with you all in the near future, but here is what we have for today.
Narrative Overview
As most of you know Wet Nightmares is not written in English by default, Spanish is actually the first language of the game. So a lot of care needs to go into the translation to make our largest audience feel at home and cover t...

Hello explorers! Progress continues along smoothly as we grow closer and closer to releasing v016 of Sapphire Safari. Let’s break down what's been made since we last spoke!
Wool, Scale, and Tail.
Three new species of Monster Girl! Yes, you read that correctly. Three new Species will be findable in the next build of Sapphire Safari. We have the cunning Fox, the trusting Lamb, and the seductive Snake. These three will find a home in our Plains Biome which is easily accessible fr...

By far the biggest critical piece of feedback we received was on the missing gallery system for viewing unlocked reward scenes. Those of you with already unlocked scenes will have them ready to access the moment you boot up the new pa...

First up, a little advanced warning for all of our dedicated players out there. Version 016, the next build for Sapphire Safari will be delayed for an extra month. The simple reason is that v016 is a super large patch for the game, and we need more time to work out everything before we put it in the hands of our community. The current ETA for v016 is in Early August.
With that outta the way, let's show off what we are doing.
v016 is the biggest we have made! The r...

Hello explorers! Welcome to another patch for Sapphire Safari! Version 015 was actually a very short development time for us, given that our last release was pushed really far into May we only had about 15 days of total dev time for the release. If things appear a little rushed, that is why!
So let's go over the biggest changes!
A new way to Install!
One of the biggest pieces of feedback we get on the regular is general installation problems and launching is...

As is tradition for our games, we wanted to start a development diary of the progress being made for Wet Nightmares. However, we won’t have much to say on the technical aspects of the development process because it is a visual novel, there are not a lot of technical and mechanical details we can go into, so expect progress and art updates for the game as they come out.

Our previous release had a bunch of temp art in chapter 01 for the game, many glossed-ove...

We found a critical softlock bug in the previous version. We have hotfixed the build to version 0.4.4c which will fix this bug. If you were soft locking on transitions before this is now corrected.
Welcome back, employees! A fresh new patch is ready to be enjoyed! This is going to be our final patch before the Early Access launch on Steam! Afterward, all future patches will then be applied to all stores at the same time.
So let’s talk about what is new in v0.4....

Okay, I know we are late. Lots of little annoyances happened during development causing the slowdown. Mostly the flu and other assorted things like that. Having said that we made massive leaps when it comes to our internal tools, and we can share with you all today an example of how our new sex system will work.
All of this will lead to our most significant change yet, a move to a fully open world.

This patch's basic summary is that the first department is now 100% complete, with all nodes, cutscenes, and rewards. It's all there. We took a very long time to polish how this game works, refine the gameplay experience, go over the narrative with a fine-tooth comb, and generally make it as good as we can!

We have gone through a lot of iterations on the Doll system, but it can be boiled down to a system that the game can automatically push NPC’s into realistic-looking sex animations, have them bang however th...

Okay, we heard you all, Sapphire Safari needed optimizations and it needed it two patches ago. We have a constant struggle, do we focus on building new content for the game, or do we refine the edges and make sure everyone who touches the game gets a great experience. Both take a lot of time, and we are committed to making sure we hit monthly releases. So version 013 is all about optimizations and quality of life fixes! Let’s begin!
