Grace What-If Forms (Hi-Res, Minor Spoilers)

In the upcoming patch, these two new pieces of Grace art will join the popular Were-Marion and Cow Jessie images already in the game! Since the youngest sister is the one most excited to transform, we wanted to make sure Grace had some what-if cameos as well. And judging from her expressions here, she certainly seems to be glad we included her!

NEWS - Patreon Payments on iOS - Sprite & Scene Upgrades - Rowan Design Poll Winner

Before I get to the progress update, just a quick note for those of you who use Patreon on the iOS app! As you may have heard from other creators, Apple has twisted Patreon's arm into using only the Apple payment system on iOS, which takes 30% of all transactions. To account for this upcharge, the cost of new pledges made on th...

Patron Decided Romance - Human Form Concept Art (Minor Spoilers)

Today we're excited to share some more concept art with you!

Here we have several possible designs for the human form of the Patron-Decided Romance, Rowan Ashfield. The war has taken a toll and aged Rowan beyond his years, despite being only a few years older than Malcolm. Rowan wears facial hair to help hide some of the scars.

The poll to decide which design we move forward with is up now! Be sure to cast your vote if you are in the Sponsor Tier or above:

Patron Decided Romance - Design Poll (Minor Spoilers)

It's been a while since we last had a vote about Rowan, the romanceable character we've been listening to you, our supporters, to help design! If you're new to the character you can catch up on previous feedback posts in this collection!

With Rowan's transformed design previously selected, we're now looking to decide Rowan's human form. Wat has whipped up three pieces of concept art to choose from bel...

Asset Improvements - Before & Afters

Here's a handful of the scenes that Wat and I have been working on improving for the upcoming patch! Our art skills and our ability to consistently draw the characters improved quite a bit over the years of development, so early scenes like these have benefited a lot from touch ups.

So far we've polished 32 scenes, with mostly Grace's story assets remaining. We'll try to wrap the rest of them up quickly so we can complete this patch and move onto Rowan's chapter! Thanks so much for your...

Status Update - Polish Patch, Rowan & More!

Hey everyone! No specific news today, just wanted to fill you all in with how things are coming along!

Our main focus post-launch has been to prepare a big polish patch that will bring some nice-to-have improvements to the game and revise art from early chapters up to our current standards! We've made headway on both fronts, as well as on some new unlockable bonus content-- a special cherry on top! The second draft of that content is written and under review, and I'll be coding i...

Baird's Entry - Pig-Faced Woman

Pig-Faced Woman

Think she but simply an ugly sort of lass? Nay! ‘Tis she, the Pig-faced woman of lore! Cursed by sheer revenge, destined to live in shame after rejecting the pleas of destitute street beggars. Be careful whose requests ye deny, lest they be the entreaties of witches, themselves.

Bitter witches love nothing more than tricking otherwise fine Irish and British women of noble blood. Those who are lucky receive not eternal damnati...

Baird's Entry - Ceasg

Ceasg

Stay wary of the maiden fair,

Whose eyes lure men in, unaware

Of that sweet temptress lurking low

Beneath the sea caps, wracked with foam

Of gushing oceans, gasping breaths

Across the waves’ engulfing breadth

The flowing hair of golden flax

The cunning stare that hides the acts

Seductive gestures, devilish thought

Swam in her brain before she wrought

Revenge on he who stared ...

Changeling Tale v.1.0.2.2 Released - Android Update!

This patch is primarily for all the Android players out there! With this release, Changeling Tale for Android and the Changeling Tale Demo have both been brought up to current 1.0.2 standards. The game's menus and correspondence have also been carefully revised for fit and legibility on smaller screens. The patch fixes some glitches that were discovered in the Cast Profiles, too!

Remember, if you received the game via Itch.io and...

Changeling Tale v1.0.2 is LIVE, as is the Steam Client Privacy Feature!

Edit - We had an issue getting Ren'Py to sync with Steam for achievements, and created a hotfix (1.0.2.1) to fix it. If you played the game in the window between the patch and the hotfix, the next time you open the game on Steam, after it updates, it should correctly award you any earned achievements. Itch users are not affected.

Today we are excited to release Changeling Tale version 1.0.2 on PC, Mac & Linux! An update to Android will follow a little later this month.

Played on a Real 1854 Concertina!

Those of you who have played through Grace's Chapter 5 may have encountered a sea shanty that our composer Cheasy Dino wrote for a particular scene-- which I won't spoil for those who haven't yet seen it. Since this was one of the last songs finished before release and a powerful moment in the game, we went all out to make it special... by hiring a professional concertina musician to play the piece on an original antique concertina!

What is a concertina? It's a squeezeb...
