Sapphire Safari News

[p]Another beta update patch for everyone this week. v027.3049 introduces the new creature Salatonie, a rare sight on Sapphire Island that can only be seen during rainy weather. Even then, her presence will be difficult to detect, given that she fits into the Tiny classification of creatures.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]To help with her detection, we have come up with a way for her Tiny body to be found among the grass and flora on the island. So let’s play a quick game of “Spot the Salatonie”![/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]She has a very long fin-like tail that she uses to help capture the rain as it comes down, which also makes her a little easier to spot for keen-eyed photographers![/p][p]Along with adding the new creature, we have added a bunch more fixes and changes to the beta build![/p][p][/p][h2]Changelog v027.3049[/h2]

[p]Hello photographers! Starting today, we will be opening up our Beta program to anyone brave enough to dive into new (but buggy) content for Sapphire Safari. The goal with this program is to show constant progress that you all can actively participate in to continue to give as much transparency on our development as possible. There are a few things we will need to address.[/p][p]If you participate in the Beta program, you will experience bugs, issues, missing features, incomplete assets, and unoptimized content. But also the new stuff as well! New creatures, new systems, all the good fun stuff. This also means that we have a new save file system, so you cannot corrupt your old saves. There is also a very good chance that future patches to the Beta will wipe your Beta saves. So do not get too attached, okay?[/p][p]The big thing we added is the new Species called the Lustra! She is a curvy Otter found in the water systems on Sapphire Island![/p][p][/p][p][/p][h3]Changelog v027.3020 Beta[/h3]
