Hi everyone!

First of all, I want to say a big thank you to everyone that's played, rated, and commented on The Divine Speaker. I know every creator says this, but it's true that your support makes everything worth it. I read all of your comments, and I'm so happy you've been enjoying the game!

I know you're all hanging out for a release date - and trust me, we want to tell you all too - but we'd like to get a little more work done before we talk about it publicly. Just know that everyone is working their absolute hardest to get it to you as soon as possible.

In fact, we've just hit a major milestone, which I wanted to talk about...

The Fawn Route Beta has been released!

We've just released the Fawn route beta to both Kickstarter backers and Patron's at the Raen tier and up. This means that this build has all content that will be available in the full game - all of Fawn's, Leos' and Cyne's routes! Yay!

It's really exciting for us to know you can sit down and play the entire game. It's certainly been a long time coming and a significant amount of work.

Let's take a look at what's in the current beta:

• Fawn, Cyne and Leos route
• Optional side stories/romances depending on your choices
• Full common route voice acting (minus one Nox line, a handful of Leos lines and Narrator scenes)
• Every common route CG
• Journal entries up to the end of the common route
• Brand new characters not seen in the demo - including backer characters
• Some route CGs

And what's missing:

• Voice acting for the routes - being recorded now
• Majority of route CGs 
• Journal entries for routes
• 18+ scene song - currently being created
• Credits
• Two sprites in the Fawn route

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 raw story, and a chance to help us shape the end product.

If you want to experience the twists and turns of the story to the best of their degree, then you are better off waiting until the full game is released, or we release a more polished, complete beta build.

If you are excited for the story, want to see what comes next, while seeing the behind the scenes of game development and helping us improve the game, then this is for you!

Sorry for the long warning - this story and this world means a lot to us, and we want to make sure that, going in, you are ready for it not to be perfect.

We'll hopefully bring news on a release date soon! Until then, you can find us on Twitter for most updates!

Thank you,

Two and a Half Studios
