Hey all!

I come with some pretty decent news regarding a web release of Camp Destiny and visual changes regarding the player character.

First, I’d like to say that a web version is being worked on currently and I plan on giving it a test play-through before I release it with the release of update 1.2. Hopefully then you should be able to experience Camp Destiny within the confinement of the itch.io page instead of having to download it. Worst case scenario is that you will have to download the web version and play it like any other version which would completely render it useless. But I have my plans... stay tuned for updates.

Finally, I’d like to discuss the protagonist’s appearance. As a developer I wanted the protagonist to be as gender-neutral as I could possibly make them. However this comes with a problem. The protagonist’s hairstyle is a particularly stereotypical hairstyle when portraying a gender neutral character and that could lead to a ton of backlash. As someone who isn’t particularly great at responding to backlash without making it worse due to my fault, I’m going to make changes to the protagonist’s hairstyle. This will be effective as soon as 1.2 releases, so that means new sprites for the newer hairstyle (which I’m developing right now) and any and all promotional material from this point featuring the protagonist will be altered with the newer hairstyle. Attached here is a picture of the old default sprite for the protagonist and the new default sprite.

Some new changes in 1.2 include:

- Updated Protagonist Sprite (default, different clothes, epilogue and wet sprites)

- Secret chapter selection menu that you’re able to unlock by inputting a specific name in the name selection screen. No hints, good luck :)

- Updated the Controls menu to contain updated control descriptions

- (Possibly 1.3, but will push for 1.2) The reception background at the beginning of the game will feature silhouetted people speaking to each other to make things seem more alive.

- (Will start to implement in 1.2, however it will not be finished until 1.3) Typing “Hat Mode” (case sensitive) into the name selection system will activate Hat Mode and ask you to re-input a new name. Hat Mode is where every character you see is wearing a hat for some unknown reason. Why am I adding this? No clue.

Thanks for reading, and have a great day! Love you all so much.
