Two Years of Camp Arcadia - Thank You Letter
🕑 Added 2025-07-31 14:37:49 +0000 UTCCamp Arcadia turns two. And just a few days ago, our Discord server quietly turned one.
It’s hard to put into words what all this means to me. I started Camp Arcadia because it was always my dream to create a game. When I began, my only goal was to finish it. To see a story through to the end, no matter how small, weird, or niche it felt at the start. I had no expectations, but I definitely didn’t imagine it would become a world so many people would fall in love with.
But you showed up. You laughed, cried, theorized, supported, and even roleplayed your way into the heart of this project. And then it wasn’t just mine anymore.
In just one year, the Discord has grown into something more than a community. It’s become a home for so many strange, sweet, unforgettable moments. We’ve seen couples form, drift apart, and friendships begin. We’ve shared dumb jokes and deeply personal things. We’ve watched these stories and characters come alive in new ways through all of you.
And the game itself? It’s come a long way. From pixelated mushrooms to whispered nights behind cabin walls, Camp Arcadia has grown not just in style or polish, but in meaning. It now holds more depth than I ever planned for, thanks to your feedback, your playthroughs, and the way you’ve connected with the characters.
Elliot, Finn, Noah, and Gabriel. Liam, Kaito, Wyatt, and Aiden. The ones who made you smile, flustered you, broke your heart or healed it, brought memories, surprised you, or made you think twice before a choice. Maybe even changed your path. They wouldn’t be who they are without you.
This goes out to everyone who’s ever shared their feedback, cheered me up, or just played the game. Thank you.
And especially to those of you who’ve supported the project financially, whether consistently or just once. Whether you’ve been here since the start, just joined, or plan to return someday when life allows. I see you. I’m incredibly grateful. I hope this story is a good way to give something back.
Thank you for giving this little summer story a place in your world.
PS: Enjoy the freebie pics @ pixiv:
PS2: Since you made it here, why don't you leave a comment here telling me anything from your experience with the game? What did you like the most? What did surprise you? What made you laugh? <3
Happy anniversary, campers.

Hi, the game is awesome! I love the minibus scene as it brings back a cheerished memory. I can just agree with Denver right there, for me you are the absolute best creator out there. Congrats

Congrats on the awesome game! I’m really glad I found it and jumped in as a supporter—can’t wait to see what’s next. Keep up the amazing work! P.S. Tiny idea for the Taint event: maybe give each main character a special spot/scene that matches their vibe. Kinda cliché, I know—you’ve probably already thought of it, haha. Also, this whole project inspired me to start making my own—I’ve always dreamed of creating a story.

I've loved this game, and oddly, my two favourite characters got the attention they deserved in the last update. Liam and Wyatt... I'm really dying to see more of them two... Maybe even see a scene where we are on the bottom for a boy. Keep up the fantastic work, and it's gonna be a shame once it officially ends

I started playing before day 3, and since then I've been playing and loving the game. I hope the game continues to evolve. Congratulations to Hael for this masterpiece.

Two years! I'm late to the amazing Camp Arcadia party but in the time I have been here I've seen how much work you put into it and how dedicated you are Hael. I am loving the whole journey and community. That's new for me and I know I don't say much but I really do appreciate what you do. Never cried reading a fictional message in a bottle before. Or a real one come to think of it but I have now. Thanks for all you do. I love the characters, the world, the art. The hike scenery is still my fave. Find it calming and comforting. Glad I can support your creativity in some small way. Thanks again man.

You didn't just create a game, you managed to create a community for people to come together to talk, laugh, cry, and just be friendly with one another (usually lol). The community may have been built around Camp Arcadia but it feels like it is more than that now. I only joined in the last month of two but I keep meeting, or at least seeing, new people every day. I can't speak for anyone else but I've at least have made some new friends and some interesting memories so far, and I'm not even the one at camp! You may be thanking us but I am also thanking you for making such a wonderful place. Here's to more fun, more friends, more updates, and an awesome future! Thanks Hael! P.S. I just reread your post and realized iI didn't properly read it so now my comment feels like I am paraphrasing it. Oops. But I meant what I said so I'm not changing it lol. It'll take me to skip over things... Maybe.
