Scope
The motivation behind building Camp Cozy
This world is built for sharing my joy for some of my hobbies: Biking, camping, bike packing, cooking and baking.
As the name implies, it will all be a cozy experience here. No dangerous monsters, no evil villans, no unnecessary drama.
I also had this crazy idea of making a video game with this topic, but as I have no idea of programming, this will have to do.
The goal of the project
I would like to give people a good read. A world where they can be certain that what they read will just be nice.
I'm trying to make it interactive as well, so people want to read about it.
Camp Cozy's Unique Selling point
1. It is supposed to be interactive, which not many worlds are
2. It is completely free of anything bad. Besides maybe the description of a spider, but come on ...
Theme
Genre
Everthing that happens at Cozy Camps does so during our current time. And on earth. But in a parallel universe, so not everything might be exactly as it is with our world.
So you could say, the genre might be "Alternative earth".
There might be some locations, animals or plants that don't exist on our real earth. And maybe, just maybe, there will be more sentient species then just humans, but I'm not sure about that yet.
Reader Experience
Cozy. It's that simple. It is just a chilled, cozy, relaxed feeling all over. Even if I were to write about thunder or a snowstorm, it should stay cozy.
Reader Tone
The tone of Camp Cozy is as bright as it can ever be.
Recurring Themes
1. Chirping birds, chirring crickets, babbling brooks and rustling wind
2. The cracking of a camp fire
3. Chatter of people sitting in a café enjoying some hot beverage on a rainy day
Character Agency
Pretty much no agency level for characters. But it is not about changing the world, only experiencing and interacting with it.
Focus
The camping.
Of course there have to be descriptions of what is relevant for a good camping trip. All the equipment and what to do while not sleeping.
The camp sites and its landscape.
I want several camp sites around the globe, that all feel the same but still different. As the campers should discover the world around them, there need to be some landmarks they can visit.

The wildlife.
What animals can you encounter and what is there to learn about them.
Drama
The only drama is, that there is no drama. And intentionally so!
