Month #1 Newsletter (Patreon)

Hello guys! It's Mikkoukun and its time for our first newsletter!

This newsletter contains the current progress we have already developed in the game so far, usually it's about how much work left is done, or what new stuff was added to the game! I will explain each segment later below!

But first, I wanted to say Thank YOU! For everyone who have supported the campaign! Those who pledged and cooperated with me and even those who shared my Patreon page. It really means so much to me!

I was surprised that we were able to reach seven milestones just on the first month! It was really beyond my expectations! So a big thank you again for everyone!

Moving on to the Newsletter!

Funds

In the month of October, we have successfully accumulated a total of 7835 USD from 165 Patrons! As you may know, I had a bit of conflict before regarding the unintended charging of patrons on September, but I have talked to everyone who were involved and we decided to make it as an early bird promo. We managed to get 887 USD from our early bird Pledgers and I will include this to the overall funds! Meaning we have reached a total of 8722 USD!

Progress

CGs – CGs are special illustrations displayed during an important event in the game. The total CGS to be made are 113 different CGs. Included here are the new Beach CGs that were added upon reaching the Beach outing milestone of the campers! The total CGs will further increase if we have unlocked the other milestones!

Sprite Art – Sprite arts are the character illustrations that appear during conversations, they change expressions depending on the dialog. As of today, there are a total of 24 Sprite illustrations (since some characters have 2 poses) and most of them are already finished and rendered! (We are still deciding on the new characters)

Background art – I mostly focused on this because it is one of the heaviest workload to do. a total of 11 out of 12 backgrounds have been completed. Backgrounds are so complex since the backgrounds have different variations (Raining, Night, Sunset Etc.)

Story – The main framework of the story is already completed, however other components like Scripts, Expressions and Voices are still under process, and since we have reached the extended ending milestones, the story line will be extended! The story will again further extend if we have reached other milestones.

Programming – Our programmer, Kaenweinder have already assembled the interface for the sprite scene and main menu. He is currently beta testing the demo that will be released for everyone, so stay tuned!

Music – Since we have reached the additional music milestone, some music will
be added and few of the music will be remastered!

Opening theme – The storyboard and the Music for the opening
theme is already done, only the animation and the videography is still in
progress.

Event Preview

Sports Festival – The campers of camp buddy will be tested for their physical strength and teamwork! This scene was the featured theme in this month’s rewards!
