[Important Announcement from Vanilla] Thank you for your continued support of Brave Frontier Heroes (BFH). As noted in the earlier announcement, DJT has decided to end BFH’s service. However, our current operating team—including Vanilla—does not wish to let BFH end here. We will therefore attempt independent operation by (1) securing operating funds through crowdfunding and (2) establishing a new company. Crowdfunding Goal We will launch a crowdfunding campaign with a target of USD $50,000 (approx. JPY 7.5 million). ・If we do not reach the target, we will regretfully abandon independent operation and end the service on Fri, 10/31. ・Details on rewards will be announced shortly—please bear with us a little longer. ・If the target is not reached, all funds will be returned. If the target is reached, the funds will be prioritized for: ・Essential operating costs (servers / monitoring / maintenance) ・Costs related to rights transfer and operational handover (contracts, professional services, etc.) ・Development costs (bug fixes and minimum UI improvements) Any surplus will be used for new feature development and service expansion. If the Target Is Not Reached: Service-Termination Roadmap We will proceed according to the roadmap [Service ends: 10/31 • Support contact: until 10/31 • Refund processing: until 12/31]. Addendum: Live Stream on Fri, 10/3 (in Japanese) To share our determination and plans: Date/Time: Fri, 10/3, 20:00 Agenda: ・Background and the overall plan for independent operation (schedule & structure) ・Crowdfunding details ・Review of the termination roadmap if the target is not met ・Q&A (we will answer as many questions as possible live) The stream URL will be announced on the official X (Twitter) account and community channels by the day of the event. An archive will be made available for those who cannot attend live. #BFH
