Low-poly campground at night. Four campers stand around a stone campfire on a dirt clearing, none of them using the two green benches or the log nearby. Lanterns light the paths, lavender and pine trees surround the clearing, and a river runs along the bottom right.

Put the campground's money into a fountain and some flowerbeds instead of, you know ... showers 🚿 No regrets so far 🤷‍♂️ #ScreenshotSaturday #CampingKeeper #tycoon #simgame #cozygame #indiedev #indiegame #gaming

Campfire hour🔥 Four campers, two benches, one log, and nobody sitting. The river right there. Alpha testers get the game next week, so these are the last quiet evenings before everything's broken 😂 Camping Keeper, a campground tycoon. #screenshotsaturday #tycoon #simgame #indiegame

Honestly, the simulation of each camper is not so much time consuming. The "bottleneck" is the rendering, so it has to be really optimized!

Thanks! That tension is kind of the point though. A tycoon where nothing ever gets in your way is not much of a game :)

Tutorial 2 in Camping Keeper is the one about water and power. Pipes and cables are buried, which is realistic and completely unhelpful when you are learning. So the lesson teachs how works electricity and water layers. #ScreenshotSaturday #tycoon #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame
A small campground in a management game, with tents, gravel paths, a reception building and street lamps along the alleys.The electricity layer of a campground management game. Buried cables glow yellow across the map, with wide yellow discs around each outdoor power post and the reception building lit as a single block.

Before / after: my ponds were just blue rectangles sitting on the grass, and my rocks were marbles 😅 Now the ponds are dug into the ground and the rocks got actual facets. And... I love the new fountain (editable by player). Camping Keeper #ScreenshotSaturday #tycoon #simgame #indiedev #devgame

Night-time isometric view of a low-poly campground diorama. A river winds through the site, crossed by two wooden footbridges. Campers gather around a bright campfire in the centre; colourful tents are pitched among the trees. On the left, a sanitary block with open-air showers; on the right, wooden-decked reception and dining buildings. Lamp posts cast warm and pale-green pools of light across the dark grass.

The hard part is drawing the line between impossible and just a bad idea. A pitch with no water line probably shouldn't be blocked, just left dry until someone complains. Trying that this week.

My sister playtested Camping Keeper this weekend. She stayed way longer than planned, which I'm choosing to read as a good sign. Closed alpha in September 🏕️ #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #tycoon #managementgame

#ScreenshotSaturday 🏕️ Stress testing the reception: a few hundred campers all show up at the same time. Nobody falls through the floor, they all queue properly. The last one in line is in for a long wait. Camping Keeper, every camper simulated one by one. #tycoon #simgame #indiedev #gamedev
Isometric view of a low-poly campground. In the middle, a large open-roofed reception building with a wooden floor is completely packed with blocky campers in colourful clothes, dozens of them crammed between the counters. A queue of more campers runs out of the building, along a paved path, and all the way back to the entrance gate at the top right, where flagpoles fly the French, Portuguese and Belgian flags. Around the reception: green lawns, trees, a lavender bed, benches and lampposts, a stone path, a red brick path and a grey asphalt road. Two white-tiled toilet and shower blocks sit at the top and bottom right, both almost empty. A lake is visible in the top right corner.

Spent the last few days on the barbecue. 🫕 Every group of campers has its own way of eating: grilling, snack stand or shopping at the grocery store. If the one they like isn't in the camp, they don't starve, they just fall back on something else. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #tycoon #simgame

Cranked the litter rate way up in Camping Keeper to see what happens. Two things are obvious now: it's far too much 😅, and my trash doesn't read as trash, it looks like confetti. So the bins stay and the models get redesigned 🤭 #indiedev #gamedev #screenshotsaturday #tycoon
Isometric low-poly campground seen from above, completely carpeted in scattered litter: pizza boxes, cans, crumpled paper and wrappers covering the grass, the brick paths and a wooden terrace. A few bins are visible but clearly overwhelmed. Campers walk around in the mess.

7am at my campground. Two toilets for the whole site: one broken, one nobody will go near. And a queue forming. Nothing scripted here, I just managed badly. In Camping Keeper, every camper is simulated. What's your worst campground bathroom memory? #tycoon #simgame #indiegame #citybuilder

New this week: paths! Five surfaces to build with: flagstone, gravel, packed dirt, boardwalk and (reluctantly) asphalt. Campers walk faster on them, and each one changes the mood of a corner. Which one gets the path to the showers? #indiedev #gamedev #tycoon
Isometric low-poly campground scene showing five path surfaces: a flagstone path leading to a wooden reception full of campers, a dark asphalt terrace with a bench, winding white gravel paths between trees, a packed-dirt clearing around a campfire, and wooden boardwalks crossing the river.

That could be a parameter of the difficulties in the sandbox mode: "Satisfaction variation" - difficult=narrow (10 last one), easy=wide (more than 30)

Camping Keeper @campingkeeper.bsky.social · 01/08/2026
It's 25 for now, but this is really something that will move when balancing the parameters of the game, maybe during alpha/beta test, or demo! This is not the most complicated parameter to change :)

They dent it, but proportionally. One camper is one voice among the recent crowd. The dent fades as the window rolls past them. I want players to notice "someone had a bad stay" without panicking. Sustained neglect is the only thing that really moves the needle.

No rating death spirals in Camping Keeper 🏕️ Your campsite score is a rolling average of recent campers' satisfaction. Each camper's in-the-moment mood softly shapes their overall impression. So one broken shower won't ruin you, but neglect will.

Camping Keeper @campingkeeper.bsky.social · 31/07/2026
Exactly the arc I'm aiming for! And you nailed the hard part: that chain needs damping so one bad stay stings without death-spiraling you. Reputation will average over recent reviews rather than react to every grump. Tuning that pressure is basically the end-of-project boss fight 😅

Camping Keeper @campingkeeper.bsky.social · 31/07/2026
Good eye! Though only the first star is muddy: you start as a muddy one-star field and climb up 😄 And yes, fully real: ignored needs become complaints > bad reviews > rating drops > fewer campers. I'm also toying with a marketing tab to help you fight back!

Yes, it cascades: long queues hurt satisfaction and campers can leave bad ratings instead of waiting. But you can scale: build multiple desks (check-in, check-out, complaints) and hire more staff. Curious what made you think of the storage-first tycoon pattern?

Camping Keeper @campingkeeper.bsky.social · 28/07/2026
Not flavor! Reception is the real hub. It handles payment, arrival queue, departures, and complaints. Every rental routes through it. Think of it as the strategic bottleneck of the whole camp, not just the first building you see ;)

After your feedback, I redesigned the capsule and kept the best of the old and the new. Old composition, new logo! Is this one better? #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #tycoon #simgame
Key art for Camping Keeper. The two-line logo sits on the left, "Camping" in cream above "Keeper" in amber, with a small flame in place of the dot on the i and a green leaf behind it. On the right, a low-poly isometric campsite at golden hour: a stone plaza, two blocky campers walking, a lit campfire, grass, bushes and trees.
