Hello explorers! Welcome to version 005 of Sapphire Safari! This patch was focused on two things. The first was our development team responding to feedback from our customers and followers have given. The second was to build the Doll System into the game. How did we do? Let’s find out!

The biggest feedback we received was about the lack of game settings, so a big focus was ensuring we nailed it on v005. Now we have built a full 3d menu experience, complete with concepts for visualizations, along with a functioning Gallery and Settings menu.

The Gallery
Here you’ll find all the photos you’ve taken in Sapphire Safari, eventually, we will have a very detailed system for filtering and managing your photos. However, in v005, we will only allow players to view a full-sized photo and delete photos from in-game. You can access the full photos via the shortcut in the game directory still.



The Settings
Here you’ll be able to tweak your game experience, resolution, keybindings, and much more. We have a special “game” tab just for setting up how large your photos will be and how much Futa content you be exposed to. You can turn Futa off completely or, make it all about the dong. Your choice.



We will expand this menu to include a lot of our other features and such, but for now, you can get a good idea of where we want to take this game just from the basic menu layout. So have fun exploring that!

Introducing the first integration of our Doll System! Right now the system is quite lightweight, but give us a few more patches and this feature will be BURSTING with lewd and customizable content. For now, the keybindings menu does not contain the buttons needed to access the Doll System, so please read below for the keybindings.

Let’s break it down. First, find yourself a tasty Monster Girl and get close enough to interact with her using the “F” key. You can have up to three followers at once!



Second, find a nice spot to lay her down on her back (since we only have missionary in the game right now). You do this by pressing the “TAB” key which will spawn a hologram of the position and orientation the Furry of choice will eventually take up. Press Mouse 1 to lock it in, this will bring you to the Doll Menu.



Third, within this menu, you can use the mouse to spin the camera, and the mouse wheel to zoom closer. Hitting the “E” key will allow you to choose the follower you want to assume the position on the ground. Hit the “Enter” button twice to confirm.



Lastly, with your chosen Furry on her back being patient you will now be able to rub your mouse cursor over her and move her limbs however you like.



In the future partners will be added to this scene allowing for a full spectrum of sexual content from 1 on 1 love making to dirty cum coated orgies. Just have to take it one step at a time.

You might have noticed a few different colored Monster Girls in our photos above because now they all have about 5 different variations they can spawn in! There are some that are really rare and very difficult to find. Eventually snapping photos of each type will be part of the Monpedia but for now, just enjoy the different flavors of Monster!





We also managed to get Linux working for Sapphire Safari this build! Users will have to make sure to mark it as executable in the properties tab of the .SH file. There might be a few oddities like the viewfinder in the camera flickering, but it should work fine!

Greetings, folks! I had some changes I wanted to make after Tuesday's patch, and it turned out that I was able to implement those changes very quickly, so I said to myself: "why not just push it out?" And so I have!

There are some cool changes to the way the game handles knockback into characters and spiked barricades, an in-game controls reference for gamepads, and more! Here are the new changes and improvements:

-- objects that deal damage when attacked (such as Spiked Barricades) now damage their attackers even when they are destroyed by the attack.

-- knocking units into damaging objects (e.g. Spiked Barricades) now not only deals the knocked-back unit regular collision damage, it also queues up bonus damage as though they'd attacked the object. (Shove them backwards into the spikes for a backstab multiplier!)

-- knocking an enemy into one of your allies can now trigger a counterattack on the enemy from that ally! (For this to work, the ally must have a melee-range counterattack available and they cannot be facing away from the enemy.) Note that your ally will still take collision damage if you do this--but the enemy will take a lot more damage overall!

-- added a gamepad controls submenu to the settings window laying out what function each gamepad button has.

-- fixed: in Crypt Diving, if turn 21 dialogue ending the battle failed to trigger due to the player already clearing all of the map's enemies, the player would simply remain stuck on the map.

-- fixed: the game would prevent characters from counterattacking AOE attacks if the attacker was facing the same direction as the would-be counterattacker, even if the attacker was not actually located behind them.

-- new script actions supported: IfGamepadGoTo and IfGamepadRun. These go to a specified dialogue branch number or run (a) specified script(s) if the player is using a gamepad to play the game.

-- added some missing documentation on how to add different types of custom images to campaigns, as well as an example custom object.


At this point, I'm pretty happy with the state Telepath Tactics Liberated is in. I'll continue to support the game, but I need going to start shifting development focus toward getting Together in Battle ready for its January 2023 Early Access debut.

If you haven't done so yet, I recommend going ahead and wishlisting Together in Battle--it's going to be something special! ;)


Tactically yours,

Craig

Noveans,

With Dual Universe about to launch, we would like to celebrate the end of beta with all of you!



Whether you are interested in building, fighting, or just having fun, read on for details of two upcoming NQ in-game events.

Calling all builders! We’re organizing a building contest. From Tuesday 6th of September at 14:00 UTC to Thursday 22nd of September at 14:00 UTC, all Noveans are invited to bring their creativity and building skills to the forefront! Dispensers with elements and honeycomb will be available at a site near the Exchange.

The goal of the contest is simple: if your build meets our specifications, the best speeders and outposts could be featured in a future iteration of the FTUE!

To be selected, constructs must be either a Speeder or an Outpost.

Construct Specifications:
Speeder Requirements: constructs must feature ALL of the elements below

• XS Core Unit
  
• 1x Hovercraft seat controller
  
• 3x Basic Atmo Engines XS (2 pointing backward, 1 pointing forward)

• 1-8x light sources (including Headlights)
  
• Adjustors XS only
  
• Atmospheric Airbrakes S only
  
• Tier 1 Honeycomb materials only (+ luminescent)
  
• Players are encouraged to add details through the use of elements, but should not get above the count of 60 elements.
  
• Must be able to be compacted

Outpost Requirements: constructs must feature ALL of the elements below

• Small core unit
  
• 1x mining unit small

• 150-300x total element count
  
• Total commercial value can’t exceed 1,200,000 h

All required elements will be available in the dispensers near the Exchange, for free, along with honeycomb.

To be eligible for potential adding to the FTUE, it is important that your construct remains in the scope and context of our starter constructs. Such as only tier one materials and things that you would normally find in a starter construct like a starter speeder or a starter outpost.

We’ll have information soon with more details on the submitting process for your constructs!

Come and join the battle! NQ is organizing a large PvP event to celebrate the end of beta. We will provide unlimited ammunition through dispensers for all able Noveans to pew pew!

These dispensers will only be available from Friday 16th of September at 14:00 UTC to Monday 19th of September at 14:00 UTC. The exact location of the dispensers will be released soon. We invite everyone to join the fun. If you’re looking for the fight of your life, don’t miss this call!

Stay tuned for other NQ surprises in the last month before launch. Our community is also all abuzz with events to mark the end of beta, so you can look out for more communications from us on these player-events!
