Supporting Ukraine
I'll get right to the point: For the month of March 2023, all donations contributed here on Itch.Io to Bound by Night will in turn be donated to support Ukrainians via United24. Further, I'll be matching the first $100 in donations.
It's been one year since Putin ordered his troops into Ukraine. In that time, international observers have documented countless war crimes and crimes against humanity, including those targeting LGBTQ+ Ukrainians, from beatings to imprisonment and sexual assault. Many members of the LGBTQ+ community have also taken up the cause to defend Ukraine from a foreign aggressor, openly and proudly wearing the Unicorn patch to show everyone how LGBTQ+ individuals are contributing to the effort..
When the war first started, I made one or two posts on social media about my personal support for Ukraine and its people, but otherwise decided to leave politics and real world events out of what I was doing with Bound by Night. But, as this conflict enters its second year, I realized I have an opportunity to do something... and I want to do more.
So, while BBN will remain free to download, every dollar donated to BBN from today through March 31, 2023 will be donated to United24, a global initiative launched by the Ukrainian government. United24 is recognized as a 501(c)(3) charity by the United States and is supported on a pro bono basis by the professional services and auditing firm Deloitte.
And, while donations here on Itch usually amount to about $50/month, I will personally match the first $100 donated, so that the first $100 donated will become $200. I don't expect to use the BBN platform say a lot more about the war, but I will offer transparency and accountability. In early April, I'll make a follow-up post showing donations received during the prior month and a receipt of the donation I've made to United24 so you know I did what I said I would do.
Until then -- and until the there is peace in Ukraine -- my thoughts are with those defending their homes, families and loved ones.
Thank you.

Tysm for ur support, I am Ukrainian and such a big fan of you and your work. Can't wait for the new release.
I wish I could do more! 🫂
There is a recent release from a couple days ago, and I'm trying to finish up another release with Nick that I hope to have in Early Access soon, then here on Itch. That update is going to be relatively small but still something for Nick's fans.
I found this devlog accidentally and decided to check it out. Sorry, I'm not a gay, so your VN is not my thing. I just want to wish you the best.
The story looks interesting, and visuals looks good. You should post some pictures in your game thread.
No problem at all! I'll look at adding some pictures in the description. Thanks for the kind comment.
