Personal Message from Team Apollo
Added 2025-07-22 17:53:35 +0000 UTCHey everyone,
We want to take a moment to thank you—from the bottom of our hearts—for the love, support, and encouragement you've shown us. Every message, every kind word, and every bit of backing has meant more than we can say.
As many of you know, Apollo Studios is a self-funded, independent team. We pour everything we have—time, energy, and passion—into what we create. But the truth is, we’re currently not receiving the financial support we need to keep things running at the pace we’ve been working.
We completely understand that the cost of living is high right now, and it’s hitting everyone—especially those who are self-employed or working in creative industries. We feel it too. And it’s because of that shared struggle that we’re being transparent with you now.
Unless things change in the coming months, we’ll need to slow down production and begin taking on outside work to cover our bills. It’s not the direction we want to go, but it may become necessary to stay afloat.
That said, we're not giving up. Your support—whether financial or simply spreading the word—can make a real difference. If you believe in what we do and want to help us keep doing it, now’s the time.
Thank you again for being part of this journey with us. We’re endlessly grateful.
With love,
Team Apollo

Hey, so we talked a little about this in more detail over on Discord. The short stories don't take time away from game production - as they're only worked on during days I don't have physical access to my desktop to do game work (which is about one day per week). We've stripped back the amount of vn projects and spent most of last year streamlining production. We've now released 4 New Hope updates in the time it previously took to make just 1. I understand that the short stories might not seem interesting - but they're a quicker and more reliable way for us to put out consistent content between game updates. There's some really great material there that people are missing out on.

2025-07-23 19:28:15 +0000 UTCGreetings! My personal reason why I don't support you with more money is that you have very little content and updates to the games and in my opinion that's too long :/ you have had PDF stories but I'm not that interested in them.
