Movement isn't just about getting from A to B.

🏹 Ranger — Combat Roll
🛡️ Guardian — Bulwark Charge
☣️ Toxicologist — Toxic Thrusters
Every class moves differently.
The fun begins when you start weaving them together.

Three classes.
Three signature abilities.
🏹 Ranger — Explosive Shot
🛡️ Guardian — Sunder Axe
☣️ Toxicologist — Poison Cloud

Every class has its own role.
The fun begins when you start weaving them together.

Every class has its own identity.

The real strategy comes from weaving them together.

Ability Weaving lets abilities remain active after switching classes.

In this combo:

🤖 Deploy Overwatch Drone
⇄ Switch to Guardian
🪓 Fight while the drone continues providing support
The goal is to create combinations across classes instead of locking players into a single playstyle.

Ability Weaving lets abilities remain active after switching classes.

In this combo:

💚 Rapid Regen
⇄ Switch to Guardian
🪓 Sunder Axe
Different classes. Same fight.

Ability Weaving lets abilities persist after switching classes.

In this clip:

☠️ Deploy Poison Cloud
⇄ Switch to Guardian
⚔️ Fight while poison continues dealing damage
Still prototyping, but the class-combo system is starting to come together.
#gamedev #indiedev #unity3d #actionrpg

[Jimmie Gilmore @campprotodev]

Build your own combos.

🛡️ Guardian Shield
➡️ Switch to Ranger
🏹 Open fire
Abilities can persist between classes, allowing players to chain buffs, attacks, and utility across multiple playstyles.

@ColdBanner That's a huge milestone. Getting a boss from "static threat" to "active threat" completely changes the feel of an encounter. Looking forward to seeing what attacks you give it.

[Jimmie Gilmore @campprotodev]

@LUPDigital The worldbuilding here feels really unique. I don't see many games drawing from African mythology, and the elemental themes already feel distinct. Looking forward to learning more about this universe.

@workshop_lunar That's a lot of frogs 😄. Curious what ended up being the bottleneck first—AI, pathfinding, rendering, or something else?

[Jimmie Gilmore @campprotodev]

@GoldilockOne The contrast between the cold environment and the warm greenhouse lighting is really well done. It makes the herbalist's home feel like a refuge in the middle of a harsh world. Was that contrast something you intentionally designed around?

[Jimmie Gilmore @campprotodev]

@imbananacrazy The green sky and foliage give this a really distinct atmosphere. Curious to see how the environment evolves once you start placing structures and points of interest.

[Jimmie Gilmore @campprotodev]

⚔️ Why choose one class?

🔫 Ranger
🛡️ Guardian
☣️ Toxicologist
Switch classes in real time to adapt to every fight.
Every survivor changes how you fight.

Meet the Toxicologist ☣️

A robotic survivor that weakens enemies with corrosive toxins and devastating damage-over-time effects.

Every survivor changes how you fight.

Starting to feel less like a prototype and more like a game.

[Jimmie Gilmore @campprotodev]

Dune Vermin encounter update for CAMP: PROTOTYPE.
• Improved enemy AI
• New animation integration
• Stylized shader pass
• Combat polish and effects
Still early in development, but the world is finally starting to come together.

Progress isn't always flashy.

Tonight was spent exporting animations from Unity, importing them into Blender, and trying to teach a custom mutant rat how to run.

Lots of trial and error, but we're getting closer.

CAMP: Prototype is finally starting to feel like a real game.

⚡ Overcharge Mode
⚡ Combat polish
⚡ Projectile FX
⚡ Arena atmosphere
Still early in development, but the combat is finally developing its own identity.

Small CAMP: PROTOTYPE update tonight.

Enemies now drop Cells — the first step toward replacing traditional XP with a resource-based upgrade system tied to the control room.

Still early, but the combat loop is starting to connect to progression.
