Campfire Blaze is officially here!
Campfire Pro Patch Notes — November 1, 2020
Aggregated from Steam, cross-tracked with Battle.net coverage on GamePatchNote.
When we released Campfire Pro in 2018, users overwhelmed us with excitement and feedback. People requested more languages, a word processor, and worldbuilding tools so they could create their stories better than ever. We added tons of features over the next year and improved the software in every way we reasonably could.
Unfortunately, it was our first attempt at creating a writing software and had many shortcomings. The same way a novel needs good bones in the edit, so too does software. To create the greatest writing software in the world, we knew we’d have to start from scratch.
In September 2019, Campfire Technology created Blaze’s Kickstarter campaign. 378 backers in our community supported it and raised $37,141. Over the last thirteen months, we’ve added members to the Campfire team and worked tirelessly to create Campfire Blaze.
As a browser-based suite of tools built on a sustainable and scalable infrastructure, we have the flexibility to rapidly build any feature the community wants. Not only does Blaze contain improved features from Campfire Pro, but also all new features like a word processor that integrates with every module. You can collaborate with friends in real-time or work by yourself to flesh out every facet of your story. Campfire Blaze is the ultimate way to stay organized and write your story all in one place, and it’s only going to get better in years to come.
Though Blaze has a free version, we have to keep the lights on. When it came time to ask the community about pricing, they were split 50/50 between a subscription model or one-time payments. So we decided to allow both.
Expand Blaze’s free version by purchasing modules once and owning them forever. Alternatively, build your own subscription to pay only for the features you need. Add modules for less than a dollar, or unlock everything for a few dollars per month with a 30-day return policy.
Try it free today.
To celebrate, we’re running a contest in conjunction with NaNoWriMo. Write 50,000 words in November with Campfire Blaze and submit your story straight from Blaze for a chance to win $3,000 to spend towards your publishing efforts. The deadline is December 15th, so check out all the details at www.campfiretechnology.com/contest.
What’s Next?
We’ve committed to hiring four more software developers in 2021 to help us make Blaze the best writing software in the world. There are certainly features to improve and bugs to iron out, but we’re dedicated to making Blaze the perfect tool for storytellers everywhere.
In November and December of this year, you can expect to see significant improvements to the modules we already have – including a complete rewrite of the timeline in response to user feedback. In 2021, you can expect to see more languages, new features, more modules, a desktop app, and maybe even a mobile app for Campfire Blaze. But more on that later…
Thank you so much for all of your patience. We’re excited for you to use Campfire Blaze, and eager to continue improving it to create the ultimate writing software.
Sincerely,
The Campfire Team (Jason, Jackson, Levi, Liv, Hannah, Bryce, Cole, and Adam)
