Hello everyone! It's finally the time everyone's been waiting for - the Fawn VA patch is now live on Steam! Here's a quick list of changes:

• Fawn route audio implemented
• Audio adjusted in all other parts of the game
• Some CGs adjusted
• Settings adjusted
• Minor text inconsistencies adjusted

We're finally at the point where the game is fully voiced! It's taken a long time, and along the way we've had many, MANY people assisting us with getting the voice acting complete. This wouldn't have been doable without the help of our audio editor, Cats on a Lilypad Studios. Check them out on Twitter if you've enjoyed The Divine Speaker - I think their games will be right up your alley. A quick note: You may experience issues with your save files if they are within Fawn's route. We've made major changes to the line identifiers that make our voice acting work, so old saves can be unstable. If you have any problems with your saves, start a new game and skip through to where you were up to. There we have it! As a final little plug, our new game Dreambound (BL mystery visual novel) has 12 hours left on Kickstarter! If you like BL, pretty art and a (hopefully!!!) interesting story, then check it out here. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38316591/affe12845bf5b8e7d9c99445f3d45c6ff1fc3153.png We also have one opportunity left to create a character that will be in our next The Divine Speaker game (a sequel that follows Nox and Soren!). That's all for now! I really hope you enjoy The Divine Speaker! Gabby, Lead Developer Two and a Half Studios

Hello gamers! Gabby here with a quick update on the Fawn route voice acting patch! First of all, I hope you've all been enjoying the Leos route. Did you know that the game has over 15,000 voice files? Our poor audio editor can probably recite them all by heart... Anywho, onto the update!

Fawn Route VA

All voice lines for Fawn's route have been cut, edited, and inserted into the game. We're awaiting three actors sending in a few lines that needed either redoing or were missed in the initial recordings. We're hoping this won't take too long to receive. Our audio editor is handling communication with the actors, editing and insertion of these extra lines, so at the moment we're hands off of The Divine Speaker while these last few audio related tasks are completed.

Bug Fixes & Other Updates

The latest build of The Divine Speaker includes a few bug fixes - mainly audio related, as well as a few extra CGs. We're planning to add one final one to the final release as a thank you for your patience.

Fundraising Campaign

We're currently running a Kickstarter for our next BL project, Dreambound! Dreambound is the story of a reclusive painter named Noah with the ability to enter dreams, and a series of murders (of people he used to know). It's a gorgeous, moody BL game that fans of TDS are sure to enjoy. We have 13 days left on the campaign and we're currently 94% funded. We're so close! If it's within your means, even $5 goes a long way into continuing our game development journey. Click here to check it out!

Hello, everyone! It's finally time to release the Leos Voice Acting Patch! Fawn's will be coming shortly after this month (yay!). Changes:

• All previous VA tested and edited
• Leos route VA tested, edited and inserted
• Three extra CGs added
• Misc QoL changes

I hope you enjoy the Leos route! Two and a Half Studios

Hello everyone! Gabby here from Two and a Half Studios! I hope you're all doing well - it's been very busy over here at the studio. We attended our first convention last weekend, and I thought I'd share some pictures! https://i.imgur.com/yYEY3CQ.jpg Here's a look at our booth, which showcased our three completed games and also our new upcoming game, Dreambound! https://i.imgur.com/E3GbUqJ.jpg https://i.imgur.com/GYoKnQM.jpg https://i.imgur.com/o7ztWq3.jpg https://i.imgur.com/rQahi4A.jpg And some of the brand new merch we made just for the event! We had a great time at TasPop South, and even met some people who had already played our games - something we didn't expect, in our little home town. Also, we have leftovers of some of our new merch up on our webstore right now, too! Our store will be open until the 4th of August!

Hello everyone! Just a quick reminder and update on the voice acting patch- the game has been released as unvoiced, but we left in the option (with a warning) that you can currently play the game with the common route + Cynes route voiced if you wanted to opt in, due to backers requesting it. The free massive voice acting patch will release Late April/Early May! As a reward, were also planning on creating a few special, extra CGs as thanks for waiting!

Hello everyone! We're so glad to hear that you're all enjoying The Divine Speaker. We just wanted to put out a reminder that demo saves are not supported in the full version of The Divine Speaker. This is because of new variables being initialized at the start of the game. What this means is that, if you use an old save, you will encounter crashes each time the journal updates after the extended demo portion of the game ends. Please use the fast skip option to start a new save and jump back to the extended demo ending. (P.S if you're enjoying the game, feel free to write a review! We're trying to get to 10 as fast as possible <3 ) Thank you! Two and a Half Studios

The Divine Speaker is now officially released! You can grab it now for 15% off for the next week. We hope you enjoy! Please note: full voice acting will be added Late April/Early May. We decided to add in the option to play the game with the voice acting that we've completed so far due to so many people asking - so you can play the Common Route + Cyne Route voiced if you wish! The option to turn it on is in the settings menu.

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FNcYeOeVcAMIq_R?format=jpg&name=4096x4096 Hello, everyone! It's official—The Divine Speaker will launch on the 29th of March, on both Steam and Itchio! Which route are you looking forward to the most? Now is a great time to wishlist the game, and get your friends to wishlist, too! We hope to reach 10 reviews quickly after launch, so if you enjoy the game you're encouraged to leave one!
