Looking to the future
🕑 Added 2022-04-04 00:56:49 +0000 UTCHello everyone!
I wanted to write a quick update, separately from the monthly dev log, about the future of Two and a Half Studios.
A little recap-we now have three games released and two artbooks. We're so, so pleased with the support for our games. Thank you, everyone!
Don't worry, we have no plan of stopping here. We have lots of ideas and things in the work for the future, so lets chat for a moment about what we'll be working on and showcasing here.
The Divine Speaker
We still have the voice patch + OST to work on. I, personally, have little to do with this - Emma will prepare the scripts for recording the Fawn route, while our audio editor Cats on a Lilypad will work on editing, inserting and testing.
So, even though you see us working on other projects too, don't worry at all about the completion of the VA patch!
The soundtrack will also be balanced by our audio editor before release this month.
The Divine Speaker DLC
We're planning to do some Patreon exclusive DLC also, that follow the main characters (Fawn/Leos/Raen/Cyne) after the endings of their routes.
We're still in the ideas stage, but you'll see some more information later about these.
The Divine Speaker Prequel
We're now working on the prequel, The Sun and the Moon, which follows a younger Aemyl as he ventures into the forest alongside Caspian and learns of the outside world.
We initially planned for this game to be free, but with all the added content + CGs we've decided to include, it will now be a paid game (but supplied for free to KS backers and of course those on the correct tier on Patreon).
The full story has been written, and I am personally going through for a second editing pass and adding in extra scenes right now. This is my top priority at the moment.
All the BGs are complete, and two of the sprites, so we have around 3 sprites + CGs left to go. Emma will also work on continuing the programming for this.
The Divine Speaker... Sequel
Jesus, are we working on enough TDS content?
If you've finished the game, you will have noticed that it ends on somewhat of a cliffhanger in each route.
Maybe it's time to explore the rest of the story with Nox and Soren, hmm?
We're in the outlining stages of this project, and will probably be opening up a select few opportunities to create a character to be included in the TDS universe for this project. This means they'll be in the game, plus possibly in other TDS games in the future.
However, we'll first be focussing on completing the prequel
Dreambound
Finally, a non TDS related project.
Dreambound is our next large game that will feature a Kickstarter. It's very ambitious, set in a different world to TDS. If you scroll down a bit you will have seen us post the first reveal of the WIP opening animation of this game.
I am personally writing and outlining this project at the moment, and will be focussing heavily on it upon the prequel being completed.
You will see a lot of content for this game on our Patreon from this month, as we have been working on it for some time and have a lot to share.
Of course, we have loads of other ideas for the future and further games we want to make, including for games in the TDS universe with new sets of characters (and some returning ones!)
I hope you now feel up to speed on what we'll be working on and posting in the next few months!
As always, thank you for the support

Thanks for the comment!! Actually, some of our artists have had some major technical issues so it's been put on hold for now while we work through those, but we intend to go back to it once we get some other stuff done!

I'm really excited for the upcoming projects though!

I'm a relatively recent follower, so idk if you've mentioned this, but has Beyond the Abyss been shelved for now? :0
