Hello, once again, wonderful Kickstarter Backers!

Welcome to our newest monthly update where we update you on all things Dreambound. As always, these will come out every month on the 6th (AEST).

We're already well into October! October is a very busy month for us, with a demo release, Steam Next Fest, Steam Scream Fest, and more. I will also be overseas for the last two weeks of the month, which makes theses first two weeks even more busy!

Lets jump into a quick update on our progress:


Art

We're still going with Ivan's CGs! We've recently received a new sketch from our lead artist, Sinran, which you can check out below.

As I mentioned last month, we probably have around 4-5 months left to complete the artworks. We're excited to get started on Kaine's route CGs soon, and then they'll all be finished.


Writing & Editing

It's time to celebrate, because writing on Dreambound is now COMPLETE! 🎉🎉🎉

I finished up the epilogue to Ivan's route last month. He actually ended up with one more ending than the others-two bad endings, one neutral, and one good.

We still have editing left to complete. There's one scene that needs some adjusting in Crow's route, and I will be going though Kaine's route in late November and early December.

How about some previews?

This first preview is a scene at the start of Ivan's final chapter. Both Ivan and Noah are quite similar people.

This scene is from Ivan's point of view! 


Programming

With the writing on the game now complete, we're moving on to focus on programming more heavily. We'll be working on both Ivan and Crow's route at the same time once the programming for our other game, A Date with Death, is complete. Until then, I will be just working on Crow's route.

Other News

In the other news section, we'll update you a little on our other projects and general business of Two and a Half Studios.


A Date with Death

A Date with Death is our upcoming free to play romance chatsim about dating(?) the Grim Reaper.

We've been toiling away at the demo + the complete game for a little while now. Fortunately, it's not a particuarly long game, so we don't expect it will take up much of our time.

The best way to support the game and know when it releases will be to wishlist it on Steam!


The Divine Speaker: A Bounty Hunter's First Christmas

The Divine Speaker: A Bounty Hunter's First Christmas will be coming to Steam this December!

The Divine Speaker: A Bounty Hunter's First Christmas is an 18+ Leos-centric afterstory to The Divine Speaker set during the Winter Solstice.

When Zarryn and Titus send the pair on a mission to hunt down the elusive Mister Bells, how will Raen and Leos manage to balance their first Winter Solstice and their (very well paying) job?

This game remained Patreon exclusive for one year, but will be releasing to everyone come December.

🎁 Over 25,000 words of story that comes after the end of The Divine Speaker
🎁 Two brand new CGs from lead game artist Fuyuure
🎁 Beautiful chibi CGs by Tsy Shen
🎁 Choose between a Leos top or Raen top scene
🎁 A rock-paper-scissors show off against Leos
