Monthly Update - February 2021 (Patreon)

Welcome back to another one of our monthly updates for The Divine Speaker! Lets jump right into what we've been doing for the past month.

Art

Art in the past month has been a mix of CGs and sprites for Leos' route, as well as a few small extras for our Patreon. Here's a little preview of a cutie you can see on the $7 tier...

Programming

The Leos route programming is now COMPLETE! Woohoo! You can now play through the full beta of his route if you backed us for the Beta tester tier, or if you're a member of our Patreon. We'll talk more about the beta below!

Work on Fawn's route has begun, and we hope to get through as much as possible in the next month so we can begin testing the three routes and adding in the journal entries, which takes some time.

Voice Acting

All audio for the common route has now been cut into their respective lines (we get recordings in large files that need to be trimmed and edited) and work is nearly finished with balancing. We also plan to start recordings for Cyne's route in the next couple of weeks.

Beta Builds

As mentioned above, the Leos Route Beta is now out! We couldn't be more excited to show off something we're so proud about.

If you're interested in playing early, you can check it out here!

Game Teaser Video

We put out a teaser video with some scenes from the common route/Cyne's route last month! It also features our brand new opening video animation by the talented おがわら あや. You can view it here!

Mailing List

For those that don't know, we started a mailing list! It includes a lot of the same information that goes in here, but it will also include other things that we've been up to, so it's a great place to keep up to date with us! You can sign up here.
