An Open Letter from BLits Games
Aug 22, 2025 | Camp Buddy, Jock Studio, News, Scoutmaster Season, Seven Nexus
致我们的粉丝们：
To our fans,
今天我们希望花些时间给大家带来一份不同寻常的更新，希望更透明地传达BLits游戏公司及其项目的现状——包括Jock Studio、我们的合作项目《七届枢纽》（Seven Nexus），以及其他幕后开发工作。我们积极倾听社区的声音，并希望借此机会回应一些近期关于我们项目重心以及对Jock Studio承诺的疑问。
We wanted to take our time today to deliver a different kind of update, one that communicates more transparently about the current state of BLits Games and our projects – Jock Studio, our collaboration endeavor: Seven Nexus, and other behind-the-scenes development. We are actively listening to the community and wanted to take the opportunity to address some of the recent questions about our focus with our projects, and commitment to Jock Studio.
BLits多年历程
BLits Over the Years
首先如大家所知，BLits是一家独立开发公司，由一小群成员创立，我们的首部作品是Camp Buddy，随后是其续作Camp Buddy: Scoutmaster Season——这两部作品都成功发布并深受粉丝喜爱。在这两部作品之后，我们开始了迄今为止最具雄心的项目：Jock Studio。
Starting off, as you all know, BLits is an indie development company, founded by a small group of members debuting with our first title, Camp Buddy followed by its sequel, Camp Buddy: Scoutmaster Season – both of which have been successful releases and well-loved by fans. After these two titles, we pursued our most ambitious project yet: Jock Studio.
两年前，即2023年8月，我们以惊人的成功完成了Jock Studio的Kickstarter众筹活动——我们筹集到了高达566,160美元的资金，这对于Boys Love / Yaoi类型的游戏来说是前所未闻的，我们无比感谢大家让这一切成为可能！
Two years ago, in August of 2023, we completed the Jock Studio Kickstarter Campaign with an amazing amount of success – we were able to achieve an incredible funding amount of $566,160 USD, which is unheard of for a Boys Love / Yaoi game, and we are so incredibly grateful to all of you for making that happen!
我们团队和项目之所以能存在，完全得益于各位粉丝的支持。无论是通过购买我们的游戏和周边商品、传播我们作品的信息、参与我们的社区活动，还是花时间阅读我们的消息并表示理解！这正是我们努力定期保持更新的原因——确保粉丝们始终了解我们团队及所开发游戏的动态。这次，我们为粉丝撰写了这封信，旨在让大家更深入地了解BLits游戏公司的整体情况，并希望大家能抽时间阅读完整信息！
Our team and projects only exist thanks to the support from all of you, whether through buying our games and merch, spreading the word about our titles, participating with our community, and for always taking time to read our messages and showing understanding! This is exactly why we strive to keep up with our updates regularly – to ensure that the fans would always know what's going on with our team and the games we develop. This time around, we wrote this letter for the fans, to give everyone a deeper look at what's going on with BLits Games as a whole and we hope you take the time to read the full message!
2025年BLits财务状况
Financial State of BLits in 2025
凭借两款已完结游戏的成功，我们得以运营并发展整个公司。Camp Buddy和Camp Buddy: Scoutmaster Season的销售收入是维持团队运营成本、资助我们副业项目，以及确保所有与我们合作的人员获得合理报酬的来源。自然，随着时间推移，老游戏的销售额会下降，因为许多粉丝们已支持我们并购买了游戏，因此我们尝试引入其他项目，比如电子版图片集和实体周边商品。然而，由于2025年近期的全球关税形势，我们的实体商品生产被迫暂停，这直接导致了公司整体收入的降低。结合这两个因素——我们目前可用于以同样方式继续运营的资金减少了。
With the success of our two completed games, we were able to operate and grow the company as a whole. The sales of Camp Buddy and Scoutmaster Season are what sustains the costs of running the team, funding our side projects, and ensuring that everyone who works with us are properly compensated. Naturally, sales of older games tend to decline over time, as more fans have already supported and purchased them, therefore we try to introduce other items such as digital image sets and physical merchandise. However, due to the recent global tariff situation in 2025, it has put our physical merch production on-hold, directly contributing to lower overall revenue for the company. Combining these two factors – we are working with less resources to continue running our operations in the same way.
众筹活动筹得资金约为56万美金，但在Jock Sutdio众筹活动后保守估计开发资金需要众筹资金的两倍数额
与此同时，Jock Studio的开发资金已被证明需要近乎两倍于Kickstarter所筹集的资金。这是在众筹活动结束时我们就意识到的问题，其原因是游戏的玩法升级，从单纯视觉小说升级成一款拥有多项新颖复杂功能的完整约会模拟游戏。玩法升级也意味着我们需要额外的开发时间和资源来妥善完成这个项目。
At the same time, Jock Studio's development has proven to require nearly twice the funding raised through Kickstarter. This is something we identified at the end of the campaign, due to the massive scope of the game being upgraded from a visual novel to a full-on dating simulation game with several new and complex features. The increased scope overall also meant that we needed additional development time and resources to properly complete the project.
我们的解决方案
Our Solutions
为了保持开发顺利进行，我们在2024年以及今年已采取多项措施，包括将Kickstarter众筹活动中的部分额外达成目标推迟至发布后更新中实现，以及重新聚焦于核心机制、故事和艺术作品的完成，以确保Jock Studio能尽快完成。我们还开放了游戏预购，以持续为开发提供资金。然而即便如此，我们仍在寻找额外的方法来确保在整个开发过程中都有资金支持。
In order to keep development running smoothly, we have taken several measures in 2024 as well as this year, including pushing some stretch goals from the Kickstarter Campaign to a post-release update, as well as refocusing on completion of core mechanics, story and artwork to ensure that Jock Studio is completed in as timely a manner as possible. We have also opened pre-orders of the game to continuously fund development. However, even with all of that, we are still working on additional ways to ensure we have funding throughout development.
开发像Jock Studio这样的大型游戏意味着有许多相互关联的部分常常同时进行，但在等待下一个任务时，某些部门不可避免地会出现空闲期。当出现这种空闲期时，我们会寻找机会重新分配空闲人员，这时我们选择将时间投入到副业项目中——所有这些都是在不影响质量的前提下进行的，通过重新分配关键开发人员和艺术家的时间，以确保达到我们一贯追求的高标准。大家已经看到了一些这样的项目，例如Camp Buddy: Scoutmaster Season的DLC和Seven Nexus，但我们还有一个副业项目激动地想要告知粉丝。
Part of developing a large game like Jock Studio means that there are many interconnected pieces, often moving at the same time, but it's inevitable that certain departments are left with downtime while waiting for their next task. When that downtime arises, we find opportunities to redirect idle members, and that's when we choose to invest time into side projects – all without compromising quality by reallocating time from our key developers and artists to ensure we meet the high standard we always strive for. You've already seen some of these, such as the Scoutmaster Season: Side Stories DLC and Seven Nexus, but there is one more side venture we are excited to let the fans know about.
自2025年初以来，我们还与已解散的BL/Yaoi社团BlackMonkey-Pro (BMP) 的成员敲定了一项收购协议，获得了主要由我们的成员（包括Mikkoukun和Zael）参与创作的某些作品的版权。在贡献者的合作下，BLits现持有这些作品的版权，并计划在BLits品牌下为粉丝重新发布它们。我们感谢BMP成员给予这个机会，并请粉丝们敬请期待近期关于这些副业项目的更多信息！
Since the beginning of 2025, we've also finalized an acquisition agreement with members of the disbanded BL/Yaoi circle BlackMonkey-Pro (BMP) for rights to certain titles primarily worked on by our members, including Mikkoukun and Zael. With the contributors' cooperation, BLits now holds rights to these works and plans to re-release them for fans under the BLits brand. We thank the members of BMP for this opportunity, and we ask the fans to please stay tuned for further information about these side projects in the near future!
我们希望这些副业项目能达到两个目的：协助实现我们的资金目标和Jock Studio的开发，以及在Jock Studio在制作期间继续为各位粉丝提供优质内容。我们知道等待是漫长且需要耐心的，并且还有很多工作要做，但我们同样希望这种透明度以及我们定期的开发日志能够展示出我们对Jock Studio及其他项目所投入的热爱与用心。
We hope that these side projects serve two purposes – to assist with our funding goals and Jock Studio's development, as well as to continue to provide you, our fans, with quality content while Jock Studio is still being produced. We understand that the wait is long, and that there is a lot to be done, but we hope as well that this transparency and our regular development updates show how much love and care is being put into Jock Studio and the rest of our projects.
我们还将举办更多限量周边商品和折扣销售活动，以提供更多方式来支持我们持续的开发工作。非常感谢大家对这些副业项目的兴趣和热情，请放心，收益将被妥善分配与使用！
We will also be holding more limited-release merchandise and discount sales to offer more ways to support our ongoing development efforts. We're very grateful for your interest and passion for these side ventures and rest assured that the proceeds will be properly allocated!
