First of all, BLits Team would like to wish all of you 'Happy Holidays!'. We hope that you all have a wonderful time this holiday season, and we'd like to wish you all 'Happy New Year' in advance as well! 2017 was quite a wonderful year for the Camp Buddy game development all thanks to everyone's unwavering support, especially from our generous patrons!

We've prepared a progress update for everyone to see regarding the development so far with Camp Buddy upon reach the end of this year! Please take the time to read everything! Hopefully this announcement answers most of the inquiries that you may have! 

 --------------------------------------------------------- 

STORY / SCRIPTWRITING

We've decided to discuss this aspect of the development first as we have been fully focused on working mostly with story and scriptwriting ever since the last major update (October 2017). 

We're happy to announce that both Hiro and Hunter's story routes have been completed! Adding to that, we are also halfway in Yoichi's story route!

To give you all a brief idea, we'd like to give you a detailed example!:

Estimation by Playable Days

  • Hiro's story route alone contains 18 playable days (29 if various endings are included). 
  • If we include the first half of the game, playing Hiro's route would have a whooping total of 26 playable days per one full playthrough! (35 if various endings are included). 

Estimation by Word Count

  • Playing through Hiro's route and reaching one of the game endings would have an estimated amount of 120,000+ words!
  • If we include the first half of the game (60,000+ word count), we'll have a total rough estimation of 180,000+ words per one full playthrough!

And that's just talking about Hiro's route! What's awesome is, the same goes for the other character routes! We will try to keep everything balanced, making sure that every character route shines in its own way in terms of the storyline!

What's taking it so long?

We are aware that the process has been taking our team a huge amount of time, and we currently have only three people to work together with the story. We've also tried recruiting several writers in order to speed things up , but unfortunately ving too many people to work on the story would not produce the ideal vision we had for the story.  Miscellaneous documentation such as proofreading and cue-placing are all handled by a separate department though! What's most crucial is the execution of the plot into dialogues.  We prefer to execute the story just as our team has envisioned it, making storywriting the most meticulous process of the development. 

Our solution!

On a brighter side, we have found a solution to improve the pace! Our writing team has developed a new step-by-step method on how we will write story from now on. On top of the new method, we've also modified our schedules in order to put heavier priority to the storywriting process. 

With these adjustments,  It will now consume up to three days (originally four) to complete writing one in-game day! Once the story is completed, the rest of the development will definitely be faster, and we will be able to declare a reliable release date!

--------------------------------------------------------- 

ART

CGs / Scene Images

As mentioned above when we were able to finish Hiro's route, the creation of the new CG scenes came along with it! We were able to determine all the CGs needed in every completed character route, and we have drawn the CG scenes side by side when we were writing the story to guarantee that it's depicted perfectly as intended! Here are some teasers, with the new CGs that have been generated!

 We're sorry we really don't want to spoil any more new contents to maximize the actual playing experience.  But here's a super low quality of teaser of one of the hottest R-18 CGs in Hiro's route! (all his CGs are hot anyways~)

New Extra Characters + Cameos

On top of the original 15 Character-Cast (15th character being Yuki), a handful of extra characters, and cameo characters have been added to the game. These characters each have specific roles to play to support a certain character route, so please look forward to seeing them in the game!

  • William Clermont
  • Hina Akiba
  • ??? Springfield
  • ??? Hamasaki
  • Toshu Kanada (Cameo only)
  • Ichiru Yanai (Cameo only)
  • ??? (Secret Cameo)
  • Connor Bleufin (Cameo only)

As previously announced, we're going to feature our new character: Connor Bleufin in this update!

Connor was designed by Jey, our BLits team member and Camp Buddy's programmer!

He has a fisherman's vibe about him, as you can tell with his accessories and the anchor sigil! Connor will only be making a brief appearance in Camp Buddy, but stay tuned - you might see him again in the future! He definitely has a main protagonist vibe, doesn't he? =w=

---------------------------------------------------------

AUDIO / VIDEO

Music (BGM and Main Theme)

  • An extended version of the main theme is currently in the works by Mimi Neko!
  • New BGMs  / soundtracks composed by MYM have been added into the game (now a total of 32 BGMs)
  • The Main Theme has been officially completed since two months ago! 

Click the link to hear the teaser snippet of the main theme! (Audio quality intentionally lowered for preview purposes)

Let us know in the comment section on what you think about Camp Buddy's main theme! >w</

Go march ahead and make the greatest memories~!

While it sounds like it's still going to be a couple of months, getting these updates really keeps us excited! c:

I can't wait to play this game, 'cause hey just look at it.

Thanks for the update! Keep up the good work.

Ranulf

First of all Merry Christmas to everyone ^^ Moving on to the update it's great to hear that each route will have this huge amount of content in it. I'm really excited to see it once the game is released. ^^ Personally I think you and your team should take the time that is needed. I'm sure it's going to be worth the wait even if it takes a couple more months to be finished. Now onto the sneak peeks for the bonus rewards. I'm definitely excited for the Yoichi one and can't wait to see who is fondling with his nipple xD The Hiro one looks also really promising and I'm sure that Natsumis bonus reward will surely also be great ^^ So all in all I'm totally happy with the development of the game and I'm surely going to support it through to the end. Thanks for creating this truly amazing game Mikkoukun, Zamius and of course the rest of the team aswell. I hope all of you can enjoy the last few remaining days of 2017 and of course the next year aswell ^^

The release date has been indefinitely postponed. so sad.. . T_T

Ranulf

When thinking about it again ( and that is just hypothetically speaking) this could actually be a remake of the threesome considering the three characters are the ones from the threesome and that Yoichis preview has blue and orange lines in it xD ( It also seems like Hiro is peeking over a shoulder or something and considering that left from him seems to be an object (or a person) and the fact that the orange outlines from Yoichi are right from him this totally seems to be the scene with the three of them ( could still be wrong though) xD ( Guessing it is Natumis and Hiro dping Yoichi based on their expressions if it really is the threesome otherwise I can't seem to fit in Natsumis expression xD)

First time I see Connor, I think, Mikkoukun add more charecter?!!! Hey, you know how workload you are but you still add him to this game. Are you macho? After read announcement, I understand his role now and good to know that he will be cameo only. It seem you just announce Camp buddy II, right? (although Camp buddy I release day isn't announce yet...) I notice your homepage, you edit release date to be the first half of 2018, right? I know you have hard-time when some crew resign especially animator, this position isn't easy and hard to get someone handle this. I wish god will send animator to you as present in Christmas day. Fighting Blitz Team. I will wait for your new announcement. Thank you and Happy new year

dont be sad. They are smart guys and they're trying their best to make a game awesome even if it means we have to wait a bit longer (i hope not too long. I do not have much patience but enough to wait)

JayTeam

Hope Jirou is the secret cameo.

Ranulf
>>9074155

I mean I do agree but then again it is a bonus reward he wouldn't need to do at all. We don't even know for sure if it is the threesome redone or not so let's wait before jumping to conclusions but I would also prefer ( if it is the threesome and a dp for that matter) if it was Natsumi being dped by Yoichi and Hiro because I still think that's more exciting than a Hiro or Yoichi dp because you would expect it more from either of the two than Natsumi but I guess we will just wait and see how it turns out I'm sure it looks good ^^ and considering that neither position nor anything else except the three characters and a glimpse of what it will look like is revealed waiting would be better (I will only voice out concerns about it once I even know how the whole thing looks like xD) Considering the different poses people wanted I'm suprised that this could actually even be a redone version of the threesome since he simply can't please everyone with doing one version of it (pretty please for three versions with the bottom switching xD thats a joke by the way not gonna expect this much work flowing into a bonus reward)

Suiton00

OMG the new character is so cute!!!

natsuinfire are you there?

Merry Christmas，Mikkoukun!,We`'re wiling to see a better game,but we also wish you and all your staffs a healthier body and a happy new year~Looking forward to the new update~

Anonymous

hmm, so if the story is being written at a pace of 3 irl days for 1 in-game day, and the remaining routes are the same size as hiros i guess no update for another 135 days? Not counting "various endings" (not sure how to compute that)

Mitsuki
>>9078813

Yep i like some comment but like im a little sad because he dont give us the realease date iv prefer not said anything xD and let him have a great holiday. Like bots of u 😎😎😎

Ranulf

I have a question regarding the bonus rewards for pledgers above 30 USD. Does this indicate I would have to pledge 60-75 USD to get it since the deluxe set is kinda unnecessary if you pledged every month since june and the buddy set is something I don't really want to spend money on considering that the rewards are all in the game and I can simply wait. So could I for example pledge 40 USD and get the bonus reward for above 30 USD or do I really need to be in one of the two categories above 30 USD? (Also why does my comment not show up it is invisible for like the third time I tried now D:)

flannel you didn't answer my question did you play bacchikoi? you know about full service?

Mitsuki

Whats cameos? someone have understand this ?

Anonymous

I was wondering, you said the new characters will be just support characters, so what about Felix, Seto, Eduard and Lee? Will they also be support characters or since they are from the main cast you will make something for them? Srry if you cant anwser this question.

Ranulf
>>9095649

It just means they are characters that make a brief appearance inside the story (that could be a short scene with them or that they are just somewhere in the background art) and that they are characters that under normal circumstances would not appear at all in the story whether thats because they don't even belong in the universe of said story or other circumstances. I'd say they are more fanservice than story progressing relevant charcters. Toshu and Ichiru also already had a cameo apperance in one of the camp buddy backgrounds.

mikkoukun
>>9095715

Felix, Seto, Eduard and Lee are minor characters, just like Yuri. They have an important role to play in the story but they do not have playable routes. However, minor characters such as Yoshinori, Aiden and Goro are confirmed to have their route on the expansion of the game in the future.

Anonymous

I'm really loving your job. Sorry for my bad English. Goro and Hunter will happen?

Anonymous

I really like Goro! He is the best! &lt;3

Ranulf
>>9108712

If they were to be together in a poll where the winners have a scene together maybe but considering how people were voting up until now it's not likely since Goro is one of the least voted characters altogether and Hunter is the least voted main route guy ( he still gets more votes than most of the minor characters though) and if you meant in the finished game I wouldn't expect it. Maybe as a bonus scene but I highly doubt that he would go for that pairing as a bonus ( you never know though xD)

We're doing it as fast as possible without sacrificing any quality! We really appreciate everyone's patience so it's only deserving for you guys to be updated regularly of what's happening &gt;w

mikkoukun

Aww~ that's really sweet! thank you, D3stroyeRV! I really cant wait to release it as well XD

mikkoukun

You're very welcome Darii! We've really done alot of progress over the course of the year! Although its going slow... It's still a huge progress considering the amount of people working on it!

mikkoukun
>>9072965

Hi Flannel! Thank you for your feedback~ I'll be posting the bonus rewards soon &lt;3 As well as the other rewards! Thank you guys for being patient with us! I really hope you have a wonderful new years as well!

mikkoukun
>>9073368

Hahaha, don't worry I'm fully aware that adding characters will really make the workload bigger, but some of the character that are new are only for support/Cameo! They would help me out explain each character route's stories! Most of the cameos wont have any voice acting so it's really not of a huge workload~ I really wish god can really send us a new animator xD

mikkoukun
>>9077037

Yeahh! I agree 100%! Connor is the absolute ball of sunshine &gt;w/

mikkoukun

Thank you naicnaic! We do try not to overwork ourselves// It would be troublesome if we dont take care of our health XD

We would be giving updates regularly of how much we have finished from the last major update! Of course, Story isnt the only thing we'll be doing we'll still do abit of art on the side as well.

Hi everyone, just new here - Can you please let me know how I can avail a digital copy of the game once it get released/completed?

mikkoukun
>>9150592

Hello! The digital copy of the game will be available in our website as soon as the game is released! I encourage you to review the profile overview regarding this Patreon page before making any pledge :D

This is so good a pity ichiru and toshu only be in the background I wanted at least keitaro to talk to them or they would appear fast confirming the dating as well as the connor He is so cute a pity not to be used he would make a good Rival for hiro

linkster123

Question, I understand the overview states: "The tier of reward will be based on the accumulated successful pledges of a patron over the course of the 3-month campaign (October-December 2016) and further additional pledges until May 2017!" Is it too late to pledge the full amount needed and still get a copy of the game or do I just have to wait until the actual release to buy a copy?
