Hey! It's been a while.

It's been over 3 years since Sepia Tears first came out on Android and desktop, and over a year since it first hit Steam. In that time, the game has reached over 200,000 downloads across all platforms. That's a lot more than I ever expected from my humble freeware project! ːtorielː

A few people have requested a paid DLC, sequel, or some other expansion for Sepia Tears. Within the next year, I'll be able to expand Scarlet String Studios into a full-time pursuit — and that means plenty of time to deliver on those expectations.

For those who want to support Sepia Tears in some way, do any of these ideas catch your interest?

• Digital copy of OST* - $5
• Short (1-2hrs) DLC side story (potentially featuring Rin's not-quite-crush as he tries to worm his way into the group and ask her out) - $5
• Partial remake with some new assets (e.g. improved background art, UI, trading cards) and new story chapters, like the above idea [strike]or a Lillian route[/strike] - $10
  

* OST is unfortunately only available in mp3 320kbps as I don't have access to the source files
** Lillian route is a real possibility, but I'd have to brainstorm some ideas
*** Steam only allows Trading Cards for free games if the paid DLC costs $10 or more

If you'd rather vote anonymously, here's a strawpoll: https://strawpoll.com/3wx3aefa

None of these ideas/prices are set in stone, but I'd like to get an idea of what people are looking for before planning ahead. Looking forward to this! ːmomocatː
