Changeling Tale at MFF!

We don't have a proper table, but we did rig up a little demonstration booth at the con suite! Come by and pay us a visit this afternoon if you are here- we are handing out flyers and bookmarks to folks to help spread the word!

Character Bio - Hazel (Minor Spoilers)

Today we'd like you to meet Malcolm's heroic steed, Hazel!  I'm sure horse and rider will learn to get along just fine.  Eventually.

Maybe.

Hope all the Americans among you had a wonderful Thanksgiving and that everyone is having a good start to the holiday season!  To kick it off, Wat, LL & myself will be attending Midwest Furfest this weekend, so if you happen to be attending too, give us a shout on Discord if you'd like to say hi in person!

Biking Scene (NSFW)

(Patreon had a hiccup so I am posting the low res scene again - sorry!)

Bicycles weren't just a handy mode of transportation; around the turn of the century, they were also a fashionable cornerstone of women's independence.  Jessie is a dedicated cyclist, of course.  Maybe you'd like to go for a ride with her sometime!

A slightly less risque version is attached for those who plan on doing a more wholesome play through ; )

Just two more scenes and a set of frames to go, an...

Next Funding Goal: What Will "Limited Animated Effects" Entail?

This week, instead of sharing the latest Campbell Homestead backgrounds we've finished (booooring!), I thought you guys might like a quick behind the scenes look at some recent Changeling Tale R&D.

While we are still a ways away from hitting our next funding goal, "Limited Animated Effects," I invested some time over the past few weeks to get a sense in advance of the workflow involved with animating assets in the game.  This included building a sprite from the ground up and learning ...

Campbell Stable Setting (Hi-Res)

Have you always wanted a digitally painted old Scottish barn for your desktop wallpaper?  Well today is your lucky day!

Once these backgrounds are out of the way we'll have some spicier scenes for your HD viewing enjoyment, promise!  In the meantime, um, just imagine someone's rolling in the hay :D

Campbell Stable Setting

Chapter 1 introduces us to the Campbell farm, a cozy but aging little homestead in need of some TLC.  Here we have the stable, featuring some of the finest equine accommodations in all the Highlands!

Mind, if you want a happy tenant, patching up those roof holes might be one of the first orders of business.

With the first three days of Chapter 1 all written and coded up, we're focused on ch...

Changeling Tale Demo 1.2 Released!


>> Grab it here! 


This demo release is primarily an asset update while we continue work on the upcoming Chapter 1 build! Several new backgrounds, scenes and sprites have been added for your viewing pleasure.  Check out the attached change log for a full ...

Character Bio - Balgair

If you've played the demo, then you'll recognize this familiar face - although his design has been tweaked to be just a little bushier around the mutton chops!  You'll also see that he has a shiny new alternate pose, part of the assets update that he and several other major characters are getting in the upcoming demo build.

You may see a few more familiar faces in the future as we make sure the Patreon has a post for every character!

Game Soundtrack - Pub Jazz

Today we have for you some newfangled jazz, an original track created by guest composer Transfurom!  This kind of music is right up Jessie's alley.  Do you like it too?

Transfurom also mocked up some sexy Changeling Tale wine bottles, pictured.  How cool is that?!

In other news, the Dev Team is playing through the fully compiled Chapter 1 build draft as we speak, and we will be painting the new assets for it as soon as the new Demo build is out to you guys!  Watch for...

Jessie Attacks Scene (Hi-Res)

The high resolution version of an appropriately scurry image for Halloween month.

Because you guys are awesome, I've also attached the alternate of when you choose to defend yourself ; )  That way you'll have a fighting chance!

Jessie Attacks Scene

Make fun of her makeup, and you're gonna have a bad time.

This is a taste of some of the new art assets we'll be including in the upcoming Demo update!

We'll be releasing that next, followed by the first three days of Chapter 1, which the Dev Team is play testing now.  After that is released, we'll give you the opportunity to decide which girl's story line we work on next!

Character Bio - Effie (Minor Spoilers) & Progress Update

Introducing Effie, one of the new characters you will meet in the upcoming game build for Chapter 1! She seems to be hiding something under that big hat...


Quick update on progress:

This is the chapter where all the major story lines branch off, so it's proving to be a lot of material! LL has written over 120 pages for it, although you will only see a fraction of that on a single play-through. It's a challenge to try to keep track of all the paths and variable...

Changeling Tale Original Soundtrack (so far!)

Hey all!

As promised, here are the sound files for the Changeling Tale songs that CheasyDino has composed so far!  Based on your feedback, we are providing them in compressed (.mp3) and lossless (.wav) formats.

Chapter 1 will feature a few new songs as well, including a lively jig at the Stag & Nanny, some newfangled jazz, and some really beautiful piano-driven motifs (the samples we've heard so far sound amazing!).  Keep an eye out for more music as they're finished!

New Title Splash Screen (Hi-Res)

Both versions of the new title screen in HD, all big and desktop wallpaper-ready!

New Title Splash Screen

As we pull together Chapter I for the next game build, we've updated the Title Screen to reflect the broader focus on all three girls!  In this chapter you will get to know all three MacLeod sisters, and your choices will determine with whom (if any!) you develop a relationship.  You'll meet some other characters too- more on them soon!

Attached are variants of the Title Screen before and after you have finished the characters' story arcs!

Preferred Music Format?

The intrepid explorers among you may have noticed that in the first demo build, the music files simply sat in the game folders, and that now this is no longer the case!  To help implement adding Cheasy Dino's great soundtrack to this reward tier, going forward the music files will only be available through Patreon posts, not loose in the game builds.

That means I need to get to you guys the balance of the songs ASAP!  In which format would you prefer the music files?...

Feedback Poll Results

We got some requests to show the results of the feedback poll!  The full results are below, but here is what we learned and how we are acting on it:

  • You want to play the game!  We'll be releasing new updates as soon as they are ready, and won't make you all wait until the game is totally complete.
  • Don't spam your inbox!  We will focus on weekly updates to keep you apprised, and won't fill your emails with the boring stuff!
