October 2024 - Changes to Our Patreon Tiers
🕑 Added 2024-10-02 02:28:11 +0000 UTCWe have some important news to share with you, and we want to address it with the openness and empathy you deserve.
With a heavy heart starting today, we will be discontinuing the $35 and up tiers as commission reward tiers and transitioning them to support tiers with no additional rewards above $12 from now on. For those who already submitted your YCH forms for September, you will still receive your art commission as well as anyone else who has yet to receive their commissions from months prior.
We understand that this announcement might bring about a range of emotions—surprise, disappointment, or concern—and we want you to know that we hear you. Your support at every tier has been invaluable, and we deeply appreciate each and every one of you who has contributed to our journey.
Some of you have already experienced delays with commissions, and we sincerely apologize for any frustration this has caused. Our lead artist and studio founder has been wrestling with an internal struggle between their physical, mental, and emotional health and the financial demands of the studio. The heavy reliance on commissions to sustain our Patreon has placed an overwhelming burden on them, affecting not just their professional output but also the entirety of their well-being.
This intense workload has hindered their ability to develop their Intellectual Properties (IPs) like Something's Wrong with Sunny Day Jack, AphroDesia, The Groom of Gallagher Mansion, and DachaBo. We know these projects hold a special place in your hearts, just as they do in ours, and they deserve the passionate attention and creativity that inspired you to join us in the first place.
Before coming to this decision, we released a survey to $35+ tiers informing them of what our plans were and awaited their responses. They were overwhelmingly receptive, supportive, and understanding. It was enough to bring tears to the studio head's eyes and warmed the hearts of many others in the studio.
By making this difficult decision, we're prioritizing the well-being of our founder and the quality of the content we provide to you. We believe this transition will allow us to enhance the content released in all our other tiers, offering more value and deeper engagement with the projects you love. We're also exploring the possibility of creating exclusive or discounted merchandise for our $35+ support tiers in the future, as a way to give back and show our gratitude for your continued support.
We acknowledge that change can be challenging, and you might be wondering how this affects your experience as a patron. Please know that we're committed to making this transition as smooth as possible. Our goal is to enrich your connection with our studio and its creations, ensuring that your support continues to be met with meaningful and rewarding content.
Together, we can create a sustainable and thriving environment where both our founder and our projects can flourish. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for standing by us and believing in what we do.
With sincere gratitude and love,
SnaccPop Studios Team 🍏

I completely respect and understand their decision about not sending anymore Art Commission forms for Bad Apple and the other Art Tiers. When I first got the message of this, I was both shocked and sad, but i'm still supporting Snaccpop even if there's no more artwork being sent out. I don't want them to be stressed out and overwhelmed because of completing artwork orders. I'm sorry that I look like a chatterbox (Even though i'm not a chatterbox), but people need to understand that the Snaccpop staff are human beings not robots

Because of the Video Game VA's on strike against the companies that Created AI, it's going to be a while until the next update unfortunately

Sorry for the ramble >w< I love you guys and everything that you do. And hope your are doing well. So many unknown questions and theory’s for this game is killing me. Especially it’s release dates due to it being October already🎃 and the due day always on Halloween I think it was still its suggestion in 2022 now 2024 is here. I just really need the relief even if it’s disappointment or unfortunate news I just need to help the suspense that’s eating my heart away every moment. Anyways loves ya!

Hello:) I just wanna say I’m IN LOVE with the teams projects and especially something’s wrong with sunny day Jack. I’ve loved the game since the FIRST demo! And all it’s voice actors! I’m especially loving the new update for the characters! Now I know you have yet another demo for the newest update and early access to 12 month pay patreons. So I was wondering when will the new demo be released for Ichi? Also I was wondering on the release date for the FULL game are you still aiming to strive for halloween of this year? Or next year? Or due to the newest update and lost content it will unfortunately be pushed back have to be next next year. I’m just hoping to hear from you soon cause the suspension is REAL. It’s been almost 3 years since the original. Please make it finalized! BUT also! Please take as much time as you need honeys! And take care of yourselves as well! Be your best to do your best:)
