Oh, this is the only game we're working on right now ^^ We're just planning ahead and collecting ideas for what we'll work on next when Changeling Tale's done, since we definitely want to continue making games! As for what's in store for Changeling Tale itself, we have several M/F and F/F relationships planned, but no M/M ones this time around. I don't want to go too much into spoilers here, but if you use Discord at all we do have a Spoilers channel where folks are free to discuss them!

2018-11-05 20:06:54 +0000 UTCAww now I'm sad that I didn't become a contributor sooner. I am still working my way in the story but I would love to see more tales reminencet to the region this is in ya know? Reading some of the comments though shows that you are also working on another game. I am curious to see where this game will help you jump off to! And no, I won't ask for detials, clearly you post when you need and are happy to do so. So I'll be happy when you do and, till that time, will be happy with such a wonderful masterpiece as this story! Naturally, I'm also curious to know if there is any other F/F storylines in this game. And, becuse being equal is cool, if there is also any M/M storylines as well.

2018-11-05 05:54:47 +0000 UTCYou mean for the next game? That sounds like fun, but I imagine we'll stick to original material just in case there'd be any IP issues ^^;
Little Napoleon
2018-11-02 01:06:09 +0000 UTCHave you ever considered a Crossover fan VN between two existing franchises? There's this one called "Turnabout Storm" that meshed Phoenix Wright and My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic (of all things! XD) quite well!
NightBridge
2018-10-30 20:45:48 +0000 UTCAgh, that's a shame, especially since it's so close....oh well. Either option will be great, and I'm sure that we'll be happy in the long run to get this mysterious next project out as soon as possible!
GREG STEELE
2018-10-20 20:58:15 +0000 UTCI wouldn't expect so-- we've got a lot of ideas we're excited about for the next game, so we're bound to move on when Changeling Tale is done ^^;
Little Napoleon
2018-10-20 00:04:50 +0000 UTCis it possible the the options that don't win could be dlc?
GREG STEELE
2018-10-19 19:00:29 +0000 UTCoh, i was imagining malcolm would tg....but that's awesome too!
GREG STEELE
2018-10-17 04:39:18 +0000 UTCSpoilers! Human world, and the romantic interest will tg ^^
Little Napoleon
2018-10-17 02:57:43 +0000 UTCI'm a little confused about Concept #1. Is it meant to take place in the Fae realm or human world and who is getting TG Malcolm or his war buddy?
James Parsons
2018-10-16 21:26:36 +0000 UTCRip options 2 and 4....3 could really use your votes ;) Check out the themes, they can't be beat!
GREG STEELE
2018-10-16 05:01:35 +0000 UTCI understand, thanks for explaining. I know you guys will do great justice to whatever option wins regardless!
Karras
2018-10-15 09:39:55 +0000 UTCPregnancy is a tough theme for this particular game, since we'd want to treat it tastefully and really integrate it into the character concept as critical to her character development. Given that the other existing romance options have other primary themes, we'd rather not tack pregnancy on and not do it justice! The next game will probably be a bit less serious--more light-hearted--so we'll definitely keep it in mind for the next one!
Little Napoleon
2018-10-15 03:29:14 +0000 UTCSince it seems unlikely the only pregnancy option will be chosen, will any other romance options currently included involve pregnancy? I would absolutely love even just one romance in the game that combined TGTF with pregnancy.
Karras
2018-10-15 02:27:02 +0000 UTCWe'll make sure to give everyone a heads up near the end of voting to let you change your vote if you like!
Little Napoleon
2018-10-11 15:25:47 +0000 UTCI'm glad they're all compelling!
Little Napoleon
2018-10-11 15:24:27 +0000 UTCSome day Patreon will implement that sort of poll, and a lot of creators will rejoice @_@ In the meantime, my recommendation is to check in closer to the end of the poll and switch your vote if you like!
Little Napoleon
2018-10-11 15:22:58 +0000 UTCWe really wouldn't need to go to a round of three before just moving to a head to head of the top two. Even now if every vote for 2 transferred to 4 it would still only have 26% of the vote (at the time of writing this) which is far less than the votes for 3.
Roidh
2018-10-11 07:39:20 +0000 UTCyeah, hey peeps you should do that! ....and switch to 3....hehe. We're closing the gap!
GREG STEELE
2018-10-10 22:17:40 +0000 UTCThe poll allows vote switching and is going to be up for 2 weeks, I think we want to have the poll finished soon so we can figure out how to work the character into the game :B If your vote is in 3rd or 4th place, you can switch to your second pick :V
Wat
2018-10-10 19:22:47 +0000 UTCOk, since people are having issues with the way the poll works (because patreon). Do others think there should be a run off poll between the remaining three spots to discount the votes the first place would get so as to have a final run between the winner of both polls in a single head to head? Wondering this because it is clear that people would love to rank their votes if they could and it seems like a fair way to find out how much interest was there for the other three ideas since they did pull high in the other polls beforehand.

2018-10-10 12:35:00 +0000 UTCI'm still putting in the good fight for this!
affie-beck-lauder
2018-10-10 12:31:39 +0000 UTCCould always link to an external poll site on occasion if it's really needed!
Val Salia
2018-10-09 22:42:03 +0000 UTCisn't it? 3 is my pick because species and unbeatable tf themes imo, but i wouldn't be upset with any of these. that's the good part about it being hard to choose :)
GREG STEELE
2018-10-09 21:23:56 +0000 UTCNo worries! Just a minor complaint :)
GREG STEELE
2018-10-09 21:21:08 +0000 UTCI find the four interesting idea, I would like all the reads ... the choice is really hard ...
Ethura Grym
2018-10-09 12:30:27 +0000 UTCApologies, we've requested ranked voting every single month on the Patreon community page and it is always shot down :(
Wat
2018-10-09 07:32:28 +0000 UTCAh, I see...so this means everyone better vote otter to ensure mc tf! Alert the media! ;D
GREG STEELE
2018-10-09 05:24:30 +0000 UTCyeah, that's a logical thing to do
GREG STEELE
2018-10-09 05:22:14 +0000 UTCLikewise, good sir. Likewise, indeed.
Cedric L.
2018-10-09 04:36:57 +0000 UTCI wish this wasn't done with first pass the post voting over some sort of ranked voting system. At least the votes are public and switchable so I can move it off of 2 since it seems to be a dead option at this point.
Roidh
2018-10-09 03:48:28 +0000 UTCoh gosh i wish
GREG STEELE
2018-10-09 03:42:47 +0000 UTCI've got to admit, I would be pretty excited to read how our writers treat the subject!
Little Napoleon
2018-10-09 03:36:41 +0000 UTCI didn't want to spoil things too much here ^^;
Little Napoleon
2018-10-09 03:35:51 +0000 UTCNumber One is hands down the one for me. I can already feel the emotional impact from it and I haven't even read the first word.
LastLight
2018-10-09 01:53:08 +0000 UTCI'm sure we'll ALL be happy no matter which one wins, but I'm gonna be extra happy if it's #3, for a bunch of reasons. >:3
Liane Rabbitfangs
2018-10-09 01:44:18 +0000 UTCCome on! Otter fans, f/f fans, feral fans, and multibreast fans unite! We can do it!
GREG STEELE
2018-10-09 01:11:47 +0000 UTCis that even an option?
tazkol
2018-10-09 01:02:06 +0000 UTCI wish these were labelled with which include malcolm transforming, only one that's for sure is option 3. i assume others do too
GREG STEELE
2018-10-09 00:13:50 +0000 UTCAlas, with this one there can only be one winner :c
Little Napoleon
2018-10-08 23:45:01 +0000 UTCI'll be honest, I'm surprised otter's doing so well, and I'm glad it's making for such a close poll! We'll be happy whatever wins!
Little Napoleon
2018-10-08 23:43:05 +0000 UTCHaha, I'm sure a lot of folks share the sentiment ^^
Little Napoleon
2018-10-08 23:41:52 +0000 UTCOtterly adorable!
Little Napoleon
2018-10-08 23:41:34 +0000 UTCLL & I collectively d'awed when we saw the idea! It was too good--and too poignant--to pass up! Thanks a ton for the suggestion!
Little Napoleon
2018-10-08 23:37:37 +0000 UTC*crosses fingers for all four*
Little Napoleon
2018-10-08 23:36:05 +0000 UTCWe did our best to make each option compelling :D
Little Napoleon
2018-10-08 23:32:00 +0000 UTCThat's the goal, if it wins! We'll do our best ^^;
Little Napoleon
2018-10-08 23:31:33 +0000 UTCCan't go wrong with vixens!
Little Napoleon
2018-10-08 23:31:06 +0000 UTCWhatever themes don't make it into Changeling Tale, we'll definitely consider for the next game!
Little Napoleon
2018-10-08 23:27:58 +0000 UTCYup :)
OPjack
2018-10-08 23:27:42 +0000 UTCIt looks like that is a broadly shared sentiment XD
Little Napoleon
2018-10-08 23:27:13 +0000 UTCA run-off, perhaps? We'll see!
Little Napoleon
2018-10-08 23:26:59 +0000 UTCIt'd definitely be a different story line from the ones currently in the story!
Little Napoleon
2018-10-08 23:26:43 +0000 UTCThanks! And agreed-- you guys gave us a great set of parameters to work with!
Little Napoleon
2018-10-08 23:25:50 +0000 UTCI dunno, it's looking pretty close right now!
Little Napoleon
2018-10-08 23:24:49 +0000 UTCIt's shaping up to be a close race!
Little Napoleon
2018-10-08 23:21:26 +0000 UTCIdeas 1 and 2 is great. Wish we could choose more options in this pole.
Shadow
2018-10-08 23:04:40 +0000 UTCWe know that with you guys though, whatever wins will be awesome!
GREG STEELE
2018-10-08 22:57:59 +0000 UTCit looks like otter has a chance! I'm so excited!!!!
GREG STEELE
2018-10-08 22:57:31 +0000 UTCAs interesting as concepts 2, 3, and 4 would be....... Sorry, dragons have always held a bigger interest with me.
Tmothy B. Ross
2018-10-08 22:42:53 +0000 UTCOtterwoman? I love it!
CADAMAN
2018-10-08 21:42:36 +0000 UTCI'm thrilled that you put the concept 1 on. Cannot wait for the result
Cedric L.
2018-10-08 21:25:47 +0000 UTCfingers crossed on 3
tazkol
2018-10-08 21:05:47 +0000 UTCDamn it... Can't seem to make a decision on which one to choose!
Some Foxy
2018-10-08 21:04:30 +0000 UTCi really love 1 and feel it will be a very emotional and feel trip
Corbynprower
2018-10-08 20:26:00 +0000 UTCIt was pretty tricky to pick between 2 and 3, but the M/F made the decision for me to pick 2.
MadameChakat
2018-10-08 20:21:01 +0000 UTCI really wish we could get all of them one day.
TheHyperblast
2018-10-08 19:51:37 +0000 UTC1 and 3 are both really good!
2018-10-08 19:50:01 +0000 UTCWhat will happen if there is a tie?
James Parsons
2018-10-08 19:37:16 +0000 UTCLove what you have all come up with! Otterwomans list of themes is too good to pass up :D
Drek the Bat
2018-10-08 19:28:20 +0000 UTCThey all sound so good! Whichever wins will be a welcoming addition regardless.
Aosheun
2018-10-08 19:27:42 +0000 UTCBig fan of 2 and 3, but I think Dragon will win with a landslide;)
OPjack
2018-10-08 19:26:55 +0000 UTCReally hope 3 or 4 takes it !
