Game Update 0.23.0.4 - June 2026 (Patreon)

Hey all, just in time for the June update! Got a lot to talk about so let's get into it.

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

Steam ban

Let's get the big one out of the way first. Camp Mourning Wood has been banned from Steam. This has come as quite the blow to the team and even I'm still processing it. The reason was mostly the backgrounds. The game looked too much like a summer camp, instead of a reform camp.

So we got banned. No appeal possible.

What does this mean?

We'll just continue CMW on Patreon until it's finished and move on. What else can we do? Making sure future games are not set in questionable locations, I guess...? I thought the reason was a bit vague tbh, but the decision has been made.

The fun stuff

Let's move on to something more fun, the new update. We've got a bunch of new stuff and despite my lack of sleep, it's still a chunky update ^^

We have a new D&D adventure added, this time with Laura and Paige as they take on a slime dungeon. I'm having quite a lot of fun making these little D&D stories so I'll probably continue making them while we wait for the finale art to be made.

Paige / Jane story finished

We got around to finishing Paige and Jane's social arc. Adding a bunch of new CGs involving these two blondes.

Little bit of Lola

I'm also adding some additional CGs to previous characters. I felt like Lola deserved some more love so there's a new scene with her and the player.

More anomalies

Remember that one scene where Hazel suddenly has Goth hair? Well we're adding more anomalies into the game! Just hair styles for now, but more will be coming in the future. For now you can collect 9 new hairstyles. Three per girl:

• Laura

• Amber

• Emma

Wrapping up

For the full changelog, check the update post here.

Phew~... and we're done. Becoming a father 'and' two heat waves in a row have been a challenge. Not to mention the Steam debacle. Troubles aside though, the family is doing well. We're enjoying our time together and everyone's healthy. Amazing how fast a baby can grow in two months.

I've realized that these are moments I'll never get back, so I'll be spending a little bit more time with the family from now on. Fear not because I've begun hiring more people to help with the next project(s)! Interested in joining the team? Check here.

Thank you

Seeing the chance to get on Steam fly away from me has me made all the more appreciative of you guys for supporting me. Even with a set-back like this, I can still keep everyone fed and paid and that wouldn't have been possible without you all.

Thank you all. Enjoy the weather but stay safe and I'll talk to you in the next update.
