We've actually still got a pile of work to do, so we're not giving an exact date yet--but we're expecting around the 29th of March. Yay!
We still have sprites and CGs to complete this month. Here's a preview of a sketch posted a couple of days ago for those on lower tiers:

Tada! The official artbook cover by Shikama!

Hello everyone!
We're participating in Nanoreno 2022, which is a game jam where you make a visual novel in one month!
We'll be making a complete, full BL visual novel this month and releasing it at the end of March.
Here are our four characters - Sev, Mikhail, Rinne and Nini!
We're looking forward to sharing more about the game this month, so please look forward to it!

It's time once again for our first monthly poll, illustrated by the wonderful Alyssa.
It's just hit Autumn in Australia, so let's do an Autumn theme! Vote away below :D

February is so short!!! Somehow we're already at the end of Feb, and we're scrambling to get as much done as possible before March hits.
We haven't announced an exact date for The Divine Speaker's release yet, but please expect it soon!
Also, we'll have a proper post about this later, but we're participating in NaNoReNo next month, which is a one month game jam. That's right, we'll be attempting to complete a full, commercial game in one month.... the same mo...

Woah... new complete BGs? These might... perhaps... be for our main project after TDS is released 👀
Notice: we're also going to be working on a nanoreno project next month, separate to the game these bgs are from. TDS release and another BL game release in one month.... going to be interesting.

Well well well, what's all this 👀 ? A little teaser for our next project? 👀👀👀
The wonderful K from Hatoge Games did a guest artwork for us this month!
We're big fans of their games (go check them out here) so it was really fun to work together on something!

Ta-da!
We don't usually do two people artworks for the monthly polls, but it's the month of love after all, so these two have to be together ⭐
Here's the first of our monthly artworks from the amazing Alyssa!
Fawn's ready for his Valentine's date ⭐

Hello everyone!
Today I bring two guest illustrations from the amazing Tomomochi! We left it up to them on which characters they would like to draw, and Veras & the Divine Speaker were chosen!

Better late than never!! Here's our Veras artwork for last month!
Fuyuure will be skipping this month's NSFW to focus on the last few CGS, so well organise some other goodies for this month!
Hello everyone!
It's already time for another monthly update. I feel like time is absolutely flying by at this point, ahead of our release next month. I haven't given an exact date yet, but expect somewhere between mid-late March. We'll have a proper release date very soon!
With that said and done, lets jump into the update:
Fuyuure spent most of last month working on NSFW artworks, as well as a couple of SFW ones. Lets look at some non spoilery crops ...

It's about time we got started on this months SFW art poll! The NSFW art for Jan will be posted very soon, Fuyuure is just finishing up with some CG work.
The theme for this month is... Valentines Day!
Vote away below :)
Hello everyone!
Somehow January is already over and we're heading into February, another month towards the release of The Divine Speaker! We're full of nerves and excitement at Two and a Half Studios.
Big, huge thanks to our Patrons, whose money is currently going towards voice acting... which, as you know, is very expensive and much past our original budget.
Anyway, lets jump into a quick wrap up of our Patreon in January 2022.
Hello again everyone!
For the past week we've been working on the artbook, so we can launch it around the same time as the game in March.
The cover was made by the fantastic artist Shikama! We're so pleased to have them on board. We're going with the lower left hand side design.
Here's some previews of the pages, while we're here:

Hello, everyone!
This month we've been focussed on NSFW CGs, so most of our sketches are on the NSFW tier at the moment, but here's a little preview of one we just posted to the Solaris tier!

Yet another Fawn route CG in the making! As you can tell, most of our efforts at the moment are going towards the NSFW scenes, but we still have a handful of SFW CGs to complete, too.

NOTE: We've just released a new update to the last build!
It's time for another update to the beta! This time, with a focus on additional CGs!
SOLARIS TIER: Welcome to the TDS beta! A lot of new people now have access to this. Please enjoy!
Please note:
This is not the best way to experience the game. Please understand that before going in. It is missing CGs, some sprites (Fawn Route), voice acting. This is the r...

Hello everyone!
Here's a couple of screenshots from various scenes in the game. I've spent the last few days adding in additional CGs and music!
Also, this is a quick notice to say that as I'm now working on the credits, anyone that signs up for our Patreon after today will no longer be added to the credits of The Divine Speaker, but will be included from our next game.
Thank you for your support!

We still have a handful to go before all nsfw scenes are complete.
