Campfire Blaze dropped and I have a full demo for it, so it you like cloud apps, check it out at • Campfire Blaze Demo | ...
*This video includes the MASSIVE update that just dropped!
Campfire Pro is a one time purchase, downloadable writing software available on both Windows and Mac. It isn't a word processor like Scrivener, but is instead a handy application designed to help you with the organizational side of writing. From timelines and outlining to serving as a series bible, this software is full of helpful writing features.
Not only can this software be used as a series bible for writers, but it also has other handy features like relationship webs, character arc tracking, and timelines (which can be used for outlining).
There's a free ten-day trial with no credit card required so you can try it out yourself before deciding anything. To get the trial, just visit their website.

Awesome suggestions!
I just realize that you arrange books by color. This is fantastic!
It's a pain in the ass when I need to find something and remove it and then return it to its spot later. But it is quite beautiful and makes a nice background lol
Just purchased Campfire Pro after experiencing another Scrivener “fun”. AND because I wanted to try it because of your video! Thank you 💐...AND, in the course of the installation routine, I was asked how I found out about campfire; you appeared in the list of possible ähm,... sourcerers🤗 which is no surprise! Your videos are immensely helpful! In my experience, writing depends strongly on circumstances! Thus, it is a truth universally acknowledged that a writer in possession of a good idea is in want of a cloud kitten video. 💐
That bookcase is amazing... I am totally jelly.
Wow! Your humor is amazing. I'm going to listen to this again just for the fun of hearing you talk! And yeah, I'll get the software for sure. Thank you.
You are so very welcome. I'm happy you enjoyed the video!
Love the one-liners as always. Impressive demo as well.
Thank you!
@@CloudKitten I have a question: I went to download it and my malwarebytes browser guard stopped an attack of Scams on the page of it being downloaded. So my question is, Is the app and the website safe?
@@Buffy8Fan I didn't hit any issues and I'm going to guess it's more than likely an expired or badly applied certificate or meta data or something along those lines. But I can't make any guarantees. If you have a second you should reach out to them and let them know about the issue ❤
@@CloudKitten Thank you. I let them know. And decided to get it. Its great so far. Using it for my editing of my nanowrimo novel.
You would have convinced me if I hadn't already taken it.
You mastered it !
I was interested in Campfire, but your review showed me I would be wasting a lot of writing time filling out all these little boxes without enough payback for my style of writing. As a side note, you were talking so fast I missed a lot of what you were trying to cover, but I appreciate what I did learn.
Sorry about that. Slow talking means I cut the script or make a longer video. Cut script means less content for you lovely people, longer video means no one clicks on the video and the algorithm buries is never to be heard of again. It's hard to find balance
@@CloudKitten Sorry, I have no idea how CZcams works, clicks, time, etc. Someone actually told me once that CZcamsrs get paid by ads, but there aren't any ads, so that didn't make sense. It's all a mystery to me. Personally, I pick videos for their content, not the length, so I would have watched it anyway. LOL
I tried the demo last month, and fell in love with the magic section and character arcs systems. Due to the cost of adding on the worldbuilding pack, I was on the fence about getting it, but you pushed me over the edge to get it! Also, I have to say that it's fantastic to see someone who is still happy with the program even though Blaze is being released, there's far too much negativity towards the developers over their choice to start the new program in lieu of the original.
dope intro
Thank you,
I've been looking for a good review. Really appreciate it!
I made the same mistake of not making a series bible, and I, too, discovered Campfire only to fall in love with it. 🔥
Glad to hear you're enjoying, Steven :)
It's crazy how common it is that we skip the series bible part. It's just so easy to think we'll remember all of that stuff.
@@CloudKitten right!?!?
This is probably the most aesthetically pleasing run-through 😍 Campfire looks amazing!!! Also, maybe it will assist in the speedy release of Red River? Haha! I can't wait!
No question about it, she did a fantastic job showing off Campfire Pro! :)
@@AroundTheCampfire I totally agree! She showed it all in great detail 😍
You're so sweet
@@CloudKitten Awh! ☺️ Your platforms and books are worth supporting!!
This is interesting! I will definitely check it out!
We certainly think it's pretty interesting ;D
It was nice that Nano gave a code for half off if you win, which I did. Got this for 25 dollars and it's very worth it. Thanks for the overview. Been looking for video tutorials
The benefit of the steam version is that you can download the program onto as many computers as you like. The non-steam version can be on up to two computers. Also achievements! Is it sad that the second fact is what brought me off the fence that I got on for fact #1?
Oh I didn't think of that! That makes sense. And I didn't know there were achievements @.@ Damn that changes everything, I should have thought to look. Achievements make everything more exciting.
Why would they not support PNG? I'd think the transparency feature in PNG is invaluable for some pictures to blend in well as well as the lossless no blocky artefacts being desirable. Or at least support webp or whatever. GIF is also great for line art. Vector image (svg) too for logos.
Know what? They should support whatever the browser supports.
Campfire Technologies, hit me up. I think I could implement that in a week, depending what you made the software in.
I'll admit I was pretty surprised. Though I can forgive the lack of webp support since even Adobe products somehow don't have that yet *cries*. Though I think Adobe is avoiding it because it's a format Google created and is pushing? Anyways, yeah PNG is high up on the list for me, especially given I almost never save to jpeg because of how lostfull it is
How many time there are sponsors like this
On my channel? Pretty rarely. I purposefully decline to keep the frequency reasonable
Thank you!
I think this may have just been the last bit of demo i needed to finally convince me of how amazing campfire is and just how much i need it ... good thing christmas is coming soon haha. great run-through, i really enjoyed how you mentioned little details as well (including some bugs), it showed just how carefully you tested it beforehand. great tips throughout, and the production value of this video is off the charts, as always in your uploads!
She really outdid herself on this one, this is the most thorough tutorial we've had of Campfire Pro!
Aww you're so sweet. Thank you for this comment! My editing style takes a lot of work but whenever I get comments like these it's instantly worth every second
I use World Anvil after seeing you show its use as a series bible and I've really enjoyed using it. I've actually been looking at Campfire for a while and I definitely see how it offers more than WA. Having used both do you have anything that you like more in WA/anything WA has that Campfire doesn't?
World Anvil does worldbuilding and series bibles much better, but they don't have the character arc change over time feature and I don't think their timelines can be used to outline as well as Camfire's can. They both have their strengths and it really depends on what you're looking for. I'll be using both (Wordl Anvil as my series bible and Campfire for outlining and character arcs) and if you can afford it that's my recomendation.
Campfire has the potential to do so much more than what it seems to at first.
On example, character sheets.
So you create your character in both. Not gonna lie, World Anvil is definitely more handy.
Now you want to add a lot of informations about things that aren't part of the template. What do you do ?
In World Anvil, like anywhere else, you'd just put it in the miscellaneous section and that's all about it. Easy, straightforward.
In Campfire, on the other hand, you can actually add new blocks for your sheet.
So… sur you already know that, its featured in the video, what is my point ?
What's not showed in the video is that you can :
1) Create an empty template from any sheet layout, and reuse it for any further characters who'll need the same template (ex : a wizard template with a spell table)
2) Make it default. Now on, everytime you'll create a new character, the empty layout won't be the original one, but the one you adapted to your story's characters.
WorldAnvil is easier, and quite faster. But I wouldn't say it's more powerful.
As someone whose weapon of choice is a wet pool noodle, I approve of your use of soggy waffles.
Thank you! Sometimes I wonder if it's a touch too visceral, but as a creator I like to make people feel things so I go with it anyways.
Is Campfire Pro Compatible With Dropbox?
I don't believe so, but if you're into the cloud I highly recommend you check out their new product Campfire Blaze. I did a demo on that as well. It's in the cloud, auto-saves every 5 seconds, and they're working on mobile and desktop apps
@@CloudKitten
Thank You.
I Utilize Scrivener, In Conjunction With Dropbox, So I Am Considering Their Product.
Campfire Blaze Maybe What I Am After.
The Encyclopedia would be most useful as catalogue of links to all the other "pages".
Books sorted by jacket color is driving me crazy.
Ah, but you see there is a genius to it. Every time I go looking for a book I have to read every spine to find it, which means I'm reminded of all the books on my shelves I still haven't read, so then when I go to buy more books, I can feel sufficiently guilty about doing so. It's an utterly flawless system, I mean, besides it taking 5x longer to find a book.
@@CloudKitten Interesting rational. I'll let it slide this time.
Soooooo are you actually using Campfire? I'm thinking about it.... But, like, Word Anvil? Scrivener?
Truth be told I've been bad and using nothing lately. I'm working on finishing up the sequel to Aletheia and then the 3rd and final book so the worlsbuilding is mostly in my head. But I personally still lean towards World Anvil for wolrdbuolding and Campfire for outlining and character arcs.
Though it's also worth noting that Campfire just released Blaze which is their brand new web app. I haven't tried it yet so that may change my preferences.
And then word and Scriviner are more apps to write in, not track worldbuilding and information. So I use Google docs for my actual writing. But I have heard good things about Scriviner. I just couldn't handle the design of their PC user interface last time I tried it, and I haven't convinced myself to give it another go.
Updated answer : Blaze released and I am actually actively using that and really enjoying it. Currently doing all my writing in it. I did a demo video if you want to see all the features
I can't start the software because apple cannot check if it's maleware... anyone has the same error? I want to use it on my notebook and since it's still a mac I'm stuck with it's shitty restrictions
Oh interesting, windows lets you ignore the warning and proceed. There's a little box at the bottom of the window I think. Does mac have something like that? I do hope they fix the issue soon. I completely forgot I was going to mention that to them and in the video.
soggy waffle you caught me off guard with that and I had to chuckle, worse still I had to mention it here
I no longer remember the context in which I used it, but I will assume it was glorious because you can never go wrong with a line that includes "soggy waffle"
thank you owo
You are very welcome
It sounds both intimidating and promising. Though I wonder if it has screen reader support. Kinda hesitant about joining the discord server due to not being sure how to leave one with a screen reader. :X
I went ahead and asked the techs on the Discord server and they're not sure but said that the code is written in a web friendly format so it's possible. But you could test it with the trial period
I'm clearly missing something.. but where is the actual writing area.
Or is the writing meant to be done elsewhere.
The app isn't for writing, but instead to serve as a series bible and for outlining. For writing you'll need something like Google docs (I have a video on that), or Scriviner, or Word.
Cloud Kitten Chronicles Ah okay my bad. And you did actually touch upon that in the beginning. Thanks for replying :)
WOW, move over StoryPlanner!
