Changeling Tale FAQ
Added 2017-03-01 23:00:39 +0000 UTCNow that Changeling Tale is released, what's next?
We'll continue to work on new stories and romance options for Changeling Tale! Due to all the support the game has gotten, we are excited to continue expanding on the game's characters and lore. We plan to add a total of eleven romances across three story arcs, all total!
Because of this, and because we want our patrons to enjoy what we make as we make it, new game chapters will continue to be released into Early Access as they are finished. This serialized format also allows patrons to decide which chapters they would like to see next, while allowing our development team to share our progress as we go.
Changeling Tale is blocked on Steam in my country. Is there any way around this?
Yes! You can now make a one-time purchase here through Patreon to receive a Steam key directly, which you can then activate on Steam regardless of regional blocks. Purchase here!
Is this your full-time job?
Yes it is, and I'm extremely thankful for it! I do the coding, editing, sprite choreography, inking, coloring and background work. We also have three other part-time team members who contribute the music, writing, sketches and concept art.
What engine are you using?
Changeling Tale is built with Ren'Py.
Is there an Android version?
Yes, the Itch version of the game will work on Android. Installing it on your mobile device requires some Android knowledge, and the instructions are available on Itch.io.
Is Changeling Tale censored?
Changeling Tale is a romance game and features explicit sex scenes and adult situations. However there is an in-game "SFW mode" option that can be toggled on or off, censoring these scenes.
Are you considering any alternatives to Patreon?
At the moment we have no plans to migrate, but we are monitoring evolving policies and keeping our options open. Should Changeling Tale ever need to move, we will let everyone know where we go!
What happens after Changeling Tale is complete?
We still have lots more in store for Changeling Tale, so it will be quite some time before it reaches the culmination of its scope! That said, this Patreon is dedicated to creating TF-focused games, so when Changeling Tale is complete, a new game will already be underway! This means new goals and rewards, but don't worry; we will give everyone ample heads up in case they want to modify their pledge.
Can I change my tier?
Of course! We appreciate any support you can offer.
How can I participate in the game's development?
We periodically send out polls & posts soliciting the patrons to help guide the game. Feedback on the project Discord is also welcome!
How can I keep up with development?
In additions to the posts here, you can join the conversation in the Changeling Tale Discord channel, and you can watch Watsup and me stream game art creation on Picarto! Beware—there may be spoilers!
Why did you decide to create Changeling Tale?
Transformation themes and Visual Novels seemed like a natural fit, and the idea for the game quickly followed. Since Little Librarian and I had the means and the time to make it happen, we decided to make the idea into a reality!
Why is the game set in 1919 Rural Scotland?
Celtic mythology is a great basis for any TF story, and setting the game in a remote location at a time when many men were still overseas helps justify the "harem situation." It's also modern enough to be relatable, while not too far removed from a time when people gave credence to the myths.
Will Changeling Tale receive voice acting?
We agree, it would be amazing to hear the characters speak! Unfortunately Changeling Tale is too long for us to be able to adequately compensate talented voice actors for the time and effort it would take to fully voice the base game and the additional content we have planned. That said, if anyone wants to share their own voiceovers, Let's Plays on YouTube are more than welcome!

I'm mortified, I've been working on this for two years now. Yes it will, but the game is so incredibly tough to translate it takes a lot of time :(

2023-10-15 09:30:05 +0000 UTCWhenever you'll be looking for translators, I'm eager to help with translating the game into Russian, so feel free to contact me anytime.
2020-06-25 20:02:44 +0000 UTCPossibly one day! We will start looking into translations once the entire game is complete, since right now its structure is still fluid.

2020-03-23 19:58:45 +0000 UTCWill the game one day be translated into French?

2020-03-23 17:37:10 +0000 UTCFolks just need to be a patron at the time of release for the full game! Up until that point, people pledging will receive the most current early access build as we make them ^^

2019-03-15 16:24:28 +0000 UTC"including the Full Game upon completion!" How long does someone need to be a patreon to qualify for this? Or do you have to be a pateron in the month the game releases?

2019-03-14 19:40:01 +0000 UTCAwesome. Glad to hear that Malcom gets to get in on the TF action. As always, looking forward to seeing what you cook up. ^_^

2018-04-23 19:50:20 +0000 UTCWithout going too much into spoilers either: some will be immediate sequences like that one and some will be slower TF's; yes they will be permanent; and yes they will be varied ^^
Little Napoleon
2018-04-23 19:39:28 +0000 UTCCool. I just played the latest release and saw that one scene regarding this topic (don't want to go into spoilers). Will the others be like that? Will they be temporary or more permanent like what the sisters seem to have? Is there only one form or animal he becomes or will it vary depending on the story line?

2018-04-23 19:20:34 +0000 UTCWe'll try, but it's tricky to export and we aren't sure if we'll be able to get it to work. For now we can only guarantee PC, Mac & Linux.
Little Napoleon
2018-04-23 17:51:06 +0000 UTCI'm sorry I missed this comment earlier!! Yes, Malcolm will definitely be transformed in several of the story lines.
Little Napoleon
2018-04-23 17:48:47 +0000 UTCWill there be a android version
Marquise Pixley
2018-04-22 04:44:07 +0000 UTCAre there any plans for any transformations for Malcolm?

2017-08-18 18:26:41 +0000 UTCThanks!
Little Napoleon
2017-08-18 17:48:26 +0000 UTCGreat job
2017-08-18 04:35:02 +0000 UTCThe story won't go too deeply into his service record, but Malcolm enlisted early in the war and was with the Royal Scots Greys : ) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Scots_Greys" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Scots_Greys</a>#The_Great_War

2017-03-03 05:38:33 +0000 UTCLittle Librarian has written a bargaining scene, but Marion is doing the bargaining. If I remember right, I think it's for sugar? #spoilers
Little Napoleon
2017-03-03 05:34:43 +0000 UTCcools so will there be something to show the man's ww1 experience say when did he enlist? did he enlist when the war broke out in 1914? and surived all 4 years? which front did he serve in the wesetern front? galipoli? the massadonia front? which front or fronts did he partake in and what battles did he partake in? this will be interesting to know especially side things.
