New Scars content will be coming soon!
[p]Hi everyone,
This post is exactly what it says on the tin. I wrote a bonus chapter set in the All Scars and Starlight universe uhhh... Not last year, actually, because that would be 2025 (wow, time flies), but in late 2024, because I thought there were a few more interesting things I could explore in this universe.
The bonus chapter was meant to be on the shorter side, but I got carried away and it wound up being around 100,000 words, making it a full-length story in its own right haha...
I liked this chapter enough that I decided to turn it into a visual novel, so I got to work editing the script (I was able to trim it down to 80,000 words) and commissioning assets.
This bonus content is now finished, and it's been fully coded. I'm just waiting to get it proofread, but after that, it'll be all done! Yay!
The new content is set in the large timeskip which takes place between the end of the main story and the epilogues of the good/'true' ending. It takes place about one year after the events of Scars proper, and it details Yuel and Tavi's developing (or disintegrating?) relationship during Yuel's captivity.
The story features a lot of mental breakdowns, trauma, tears, and all that good stuff. Plus, Tavi's mother actually makes an appearance, and Tavi spends most of the story slowly losing his mind, so that's fun!

I wasn't sure how to release the bonus content initially, but I decided it would make the most sense to release it as paid DLC on Steam which needs the base VN to run. The bonus chapter will make no sense if you haven't read All Scars and Starlight first, so releasing it on its own seemed a bit unintuitive, and the bonus content is too long and has too many unique art assets to release it for free.
I'm hoping to release the bonus content before the end of the month, but we'll see how long it takes to be proofread. The DLC has been approved for release by Valve already, so I'll be able to release it the moment it's done.
Thank you to everybody who read All Scars and Starlight, and thank you to everybody who has supported me in general. It means a lot, and I'm going to keep working hard to make stories that you can enjoy. I hope you have a happy 2026!
