Game Update 0.0.7.0 - October 2023 (Patreon)

And we're back already! You have no idea how excited I am to release this update. Please stick around and read through the post cause there's much to share!

>>First of all, you can find the new update here.
>>You can find your Patreon exclusive rewards here.

Halloween

First of, the game is being released a few days earlier to give you all a chance to play the Halloween update.  Those on twitter will have already seen this sneak peek of Hazel wearing her cute new Halloween outfit. In addition to that, there will also be a few new head items for El Presidente.

CGs coming at you

Like last month our artists have been busy, adding a whole bunch of new pictures into the game. From new models to new CGs. I'm not sure if I'm allowed to share this one on a public Patreon post, but... I think it's fine...? Nothing is being shown after all... I guess we'll see. Have some Lola!

Walkthrough

The walkthrough has been updated and uploaded for version 0.0.7.0. If you feel like I missed something, please let me know. I'll do a double check later to see if I have indeed updated it fully.

Main story

Okay, now for the big one. I've been hoping to continue the main story for some time now and I've finally had the chance to. You probably have a lot of questions about what's going on in camp. What is the WAR? Why is Scarlet so hostile to you? Why can't I stop eating holiday sweets? At least two of these questions will be answered in this update!

Also, if you want to figure out what the girls are saying in Archelean, I've added a few more language stones into the game (explore the forest to find them). Which makes communication much easier. =)

Side content

I've also introduced something new. Collectible miniatures of fairy girls that you can find with your camera and add to the shelves in your cabin. Right now it's only one as I wait for my artist to draw more, but I quite like the idea. With the major story patch out of the way, I'll be focusing more on side content for the December update. Basically additional stuff for things you've seen before, like tile puzzles, potion recipes and WAR encounters via your camera.

And of course... the Christmas update! If there's one thing I enjoy more than Halloween, it's Christmas. Hopefully I'll be able to put some more Christmas stuff into the game, but we'll see.

Poll

The last Patreon poll was about being ok with having a female MC. Thank you everyone for voting again. I am very happily surprised at the outcome. After three games with a male MC, I felt like it was time I'd try my hands at something new. Now don't worry, this is still a long time off, but it's good to already start looking towards the future now.

New Patreon layout

So Patreon has a new layout again aaaand... I mean I don't hate it. It seems like big tech companies need to change up their style every few years for whatever reason. The only thing I miss is the notification that shows you how much your income has gone up or down. Before I could see roughly how my Patreon was doing and maybe plan bigger investments ahead of time, but they removed that so now it's just sorta gambling. Hopefully they'll add that back in the next update.

Wrapping up

All right, all right. I feel like I've gone on for too long. Thank you everyone for your support. I feel like Camp Mourning Wood is legit becoming a very solid game to play! More and more placeholders are being removed and rough edges are being smoothed out.

As always, if you have feedback or see a bug, please report it here or on my Discord and I'll get back to it asap.

Thank you all and see you soon!
