Camper Van: Make it Home, the new video game from the Spanish studio Malapata Studio, has launched its Kickstarter campaign. In less than 16 hours, the campaign had already reached its initial funding goal of €15,000 and surpassed the €27,000 mark with 25 days still left to go. The game, inspired by the cozy experience of video games like Unpacking, offers players the opportunity to camperize their own van and embark on a journey of personal discovery.
Limited Handmade Rewards and Exclusive Digital Content
During the Kickstarter campaign, players can get their hands on limited handmade rewards and exclusive digital content. Some of the merchandise has been handmade with the utmost care and detail, including a hand-embroidered journey album, a mat with an exclusive design from the game with a name embroidered by hand, postcards, stickers, and the possibility to name the cat, iguana, or van in the game. Other digital items are exclusive for backers of the campaign.
Goals of the Campaign
Now that the campaign has reached its funding goal, Malapata Studio has revealed some of the goals they hope to achieve with the campaign, including the launch on Nintendo Switch, decorative packs, and the van editor. More goals will be revealed as the campaign progresses.
The Relaxing Video Game About Camperizing Your Van
Camper Van: Make it Home is a relaxing video game about camperizing vans and discovering a story through the objects, adventures, and experiences of its protagonist. The game allows gamers to delve into the story of its protagonist, who leaves behind her comfortable and monotonous life to explore a more nomadic, natural, and environmentally aware one. The game invites players to discover the experiences the main character goes through on each trip thanks to the objects she carries with her, the ones she collects, the ones that undergo changes, and the ones she leaves behind.
Customizing Your Van
The journey starts with a totally empty van in a charming destination. In the process of camperizing, it will be possible to add as much furniture as space allows. Once furnished, the goal will be to store and sort all the traveler's belongings, which will be available in a pack list. Not only is it possible to decorate the space inside the van, but also the exterior is customizable.
Moving on to the Next Journey
Once the process of camperizing and organizing is finished, it will be the time to move on to the next journey. The destination is up to the player's imagination. The game offers a relaxing and immersive experience that allows players to create a space as creative as it is useful for organizing all their belongings.
The Launch
Camper Van: Make it Home is expected to launch during 2024 for PC on Steam, mobile platforms on App Store, Galaxy Store, App Gallery, and Amazon Store, and consoles on Nintendo Switch.
"We are extremely grateful to all the backers who have made this possible," said Malapata Studio. "We are excited to continue developing this game and to share our love for camper vans with everyone. We hope that Camper Van: Make it Home will offer a unique and relaxing experience to all players."
"We are thrilled to offer limited handmade rewards and exclusive digital content during the Kickstarter campaign," said Malapata Studio. "We wanted to create something special for our backers, something that reflects the love and care we have put into this project."
