Via the dev on Discord: 

"I wanted to share a quick update, since some of you may have noticed that my Patreon page is currently offline. 

Patreon removed the page following a Trust & Safety review related to a post I made on January 4 about an interactive story scenario. I submitted an appeal and follow-up information to clarify the situation, but Patreon has ultimately decided not to reinstate the account. 

To be clear: Bound by Night is still in active development, and nothing about the game itself has changed. The visual novel has been in development since 2021 and is built in Ren’Py using images I create myself in Daz Studio (not AI-generated). The Patreon page existed to support development progress, behind-the-scenes updates, and sneak peeks. 

I’m currently exploring next steps for community support and development updates. Patreon indicated I may be able to apply again in the future after a waiting period, but it’s still unclear what that would look like in practice (for example, whether a future application could be for Bound by Night specifically, or would have to be structured around a different VN). I’ve asked for clarification and will share more once I know. 

In the meantime, I don’t want anyone to feel like the project is on pause or that you’re being left in the dark. The next development update will be published directly to Itch.io at no cost to supporters, and I’ll continue posting updates through my usual channels as well. 

Most of all: thank you. Your support has meant a lot to me, and it’s a big part of what’s kept this project moving forward. I’ll post another update soon once I’ve confirmed the best path forward. 

Thank you again for sticking with me, 

Snow"
