Happy September all!
Cassie's Route has begun my extensive editing process!!
Check out this new background art. This is outside the mess hall looking through the window.
My biggest updates for this month are that I have gotten both Steam and Backerkit up and running.
Two days ago I sent out a "smoke test" through Backerkit. This opened up the backer survey to a small percentage of backers to test the system. Since there weren't any issues, I am sending backer surveys now to everyone. If for some reason you can't find the email from Backerkit, you can message me on Kickstarter or email [email protected]
We now have a page on Steam! If you haven't already, please consider wishlisting Camp Palut. It really helps with the many algorithms that Steam uses to decide what to promote.
You can wishlist Camp Palut at https://store.steampowered.com/app/1736850/Camp_Palut/ Please consider sharing the link with your friends, family, and anyone else you think may enjoy it.
Thanks for your continued support!
See you next month,

Hello and happy last day of August!
Here's a few updates from the month of August~
Bianca's route has been finished, which means the bulk of the writing is complete. However there is still a lot of editing and rewriting to do before Camp Palut is 100% finished. Amy and Nat's routes have already gone through my extensive editing process, and I plan to go through Cassie's route in September, and Bianca's in October.
No new background art at the moment, but a background is in progress and I'll be showing it off in the next update.
The creatures you encounter on the Test of Courage have updated character models!
The new Test of Courage creatures have been programmed in and the camp map has been updated.
There's still a few more updates I want to complete before I upload a new version of the demo. I'm planning on one more updated demo before the full release of the game.
Bianca's theme is complete, but I'm saving it for a special reveal later, so stay tuned!
Backerkit is almost complete. I plan to send a few "smoke test" Backerkit surveys within the week.
I've been working on getting Camp Palut on to Steam, there's just a few checks left!
Thanks for your continued support!
See you next month,

Happy July! Check out this month's updates for Camp Palut.
Writing Updates
- Cassie's route is now completely finished and Amy's route has gone through it's final round of editing and is now sitting on my partner's desk for feedback.
- Bianca's route is about a fourth of the way finished and will be completed in August.
Art Updates
- Amy's wallpaper is complete, but I am waiting to show all the wallpapers at once. Bianca's is the only wallpaper left to be completed.
- Two new backgrounds have been finished, one of them is here for you to see. The other image is a spoiler and I don't want to ruin the story, so look forward to seeing it when you play!
Music Updates
- Bianca's theme is currently in the works. It is unfinished, but I look forward to showing it to you all.
Backer Surveys
- Expect Backer surveys with next month's update. I will be collecting mailing addresses and the number and types of pins ordered with this survey. Once I have that information I will be ordering the pins from my supplier.
General Updates
- This last weekend I finished a huge and incredibly stressful move. I don't want to get into too many details, but a lot of things went wrong last minute. Because of this, July was a bit of a slow month, but we are still on schedule to be completed by December.
Thanks for your continued support!
See you next month,

Writing Updates
- I am happy to announce that I am finishing up the last details of Cassie's route. Amy and Nat's route have already been completed and Amy's route will be entering it's editing phase, before moving on to programming!
- The last major writing for Camp Palut that needs to be completed is Bianca's route. Her route has been planned, but I have not started the actual writing phase yet. We should see her route completed by the end of August.
Programming Updates
- After what felt like months of work, I have finally managed to program a CG gallery into the menu screen. Now when you unlock all the cute artwork, you will have a place to view it at your leisure.
Art Updates
- I have two new backgrounds from my artist to share, the bonfire, and the stargazing background.
- The character artist has completed Cassie's Alice in Wonderland wallpaper, but I've decided to wait and reveal the set all at once.
Music Updates
- Cassie's theme is complete and you can hear it here.
- The music for the stargazing scene is also finished.
Pin Updates
- I am in the process of getting ready for a move that will hopefully be completed by the end of July. When the move is complete, I will begin ordering pins from my supplier. I don't want them to get lost on their way to me which is why I am waiting until the move is complete.
Backer Surveys
- I am currently debating whether I would like to send backer surveys through Kickstarter or through a third party. There are pros and cons to each and I want to make sure everything is as easy and painless as possible.
General Updates
- Bearly Playing Games is growing! If you follow us on social media, you may have learned we have added a community manager, Olivia! She will be helping me run our social media channels as well as keeping me motivated and on task.
- Which reminds me- if you aren't following us on social media, you should!
- Facebook - Twitter - Instagram -
- I am planning on updating here on a monthly basis, but on social media we will be much more active (thanks Olivia!)
- Most of these updates can be seen in action in the updated demo, which you can play here.
Thanks for your continued support!

It’s been about a week since Camp Palut became officially funded on Kickstarter and it’s all thanks to you, the people who pledged something to help this game become a reality.
Kickstarter will begin transferring the funds sometime around next week. As soon as that happens, we will begin working on rewards, like commissioning the remaining wallpapers from our character artist, and receiving mock-ups of our pin design.
Backer surveys are in the works, but I am waiting to confirm a few details before sending them out.
Bearly Playing Games is expanding and added a community manager, Olivia! Olivia will be taking over our social media accounts, as well as helping to keep me organized and on top of things.
To stay up to date, check out our new Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.
Thank you, truly, from the bottom of our hearts!
