It's New Years Eve already here in Australia, and the perfect time to look back at what we achieved in 2023 and what 2024 is going to look like for Two and a Half Studios!
First of all, thank you all for being here and supporting us. It makes a huge difference to what we're able to do and the level of detail we can put into our projects.
2023 was a very busy year for multiple reasons, but especially when it comes to game development. For those that don't know, we're just a two per...

Hey everyone!
Today we're releasing our very first Patreon exclusive game, The Divine Speaker: A Bounty Hunter's First Christmas, publicly!
This comes a little after a year of Patreon only exclusivity. We hope to work on more exclusive games/DLC etc. in the future (looking at you, A Date with Death!).
This game is set after The Divine Speaker, so it's really only best played after completing Leos' route of that game. It is 18+ as well, so keep that in mind!
You can gra...

Hello lovely patrons!
We've hit November, which I personally think is the start of the festive season. It's a very busy month for us, with a game release plus a lot of catch up after being overseas for a lot of October. December will see us winding down a little for the year before we come back full force in January.
Anyway, on to the update:

The theme this month is... well, it's "Your Birthday"! That's because it's my birthday this month. What a selfish reason to pick an art poll theme, huh?

We're working with a couple of super cool backers for them to add some custom outfits/hairstyles/accessories into the full version of the game! Many will appear as extras within the DLC that we plan to launch.
The backer went with the first design, with the bunny cardigan. We'll have a couple of different color combinations, too.
