While Wat and I've been publicly working on pins, stickers, dakis and the art book, our R&D division (led by Nocturn3) has been secretly developing some exclusive Changeling Tale merchandise -- and we're excited to say these brand new items are available NOW, today only!
Let's take a look!

Since we're making good headway on all things concept art related, I thought I'd share some sneak peeks this week! With all the old sketches exported at full resolution and the written insights complete, it's just been a matter of designing a layout-- and I'm pretty excited with how it's looking so far! (Minor spoiler warning: some of the images in the book may contain spoilers for those who haven't played through all the chapters!)
Here are a few sample pages from our first draft:

While this change won't impact the development of Changeling Tale in any way, I'm sad to see it go! It was exciting to reach the milestones we set for ourselves and gave us motivation to add new features that enhance the game experience. Thanks entirely to your support, we broke through go...

The pin poll is still active and the results are, as of writing, tied between the portrait and detailed feral designs!
If you're in the voting tier and voted for another row, you may want to consider changing your vote to one of those two to tip the balance toward your preference! 2023-03-07 19:11:46 +0000 UTC View Post

Hey everyone! After a very unpleasant start to the month spent knocked out in bed thanks to a particularly nasty virus, I've finally managed to crawl over to my laptop to knock out a post and share what's new!

Last year we began concepting out pin designs in order to start preparing merchandise for launch. You gave us some helpful feedback on Jessie's concepts, and now that the other sisters' designs are drawn, we'd love to hear which you think would make the best set!
If just one of these rows was manufactured as pins, from which set would you buy one or more pins?

This month we crossed the funding threshold for a brand new bonus feature: Character Profiles! I'm really excited for this one :D Thank you so much to all of you for making it happen!

With our table at Anthrocon confirmed, we're doing our best to make sure we have some merchandise ready in time for the convention! Some of the most requested items are, of course, dakimakuras (body pillows), which we plan to make for each of the MacLeod sisters.
One side of the body pillow will feature a front-facing sister in a final post-TF form. The opposite side will naturally depict the ...

At long last, Grace has evolved into a form capable of doing what she has always wanted: Giving atomic wedgies.
Malcolm probably deserves this. He knows what he did.

While we've been developing Changeling Tale, our game engine's creator, Renpytom, is also doing hard work to improve Ren'Py, keeping it up to date and adding new features for game makers like us to tinker with. We visual novelists are extremely grateful that Tom not only made Ren'Py, but that he has also continued to maintain and improve it for all these years-- almost 2 decades, now!
On the remote chance Tom ever s...

The following is a lot to digest, but hopefully it answers most of your questions. And don't worry-- we'll send out reminders as the launch window get closer!

Patreon now offers monthly billing from the date of subscription, rather than on the 1st of every month, and has begun allowing creators to opt into the new system! Since a fair few people have been confused when they pledge at the end of the month and are charged again at the beginning of the following month, I've gone ahead and switched to new billing system to eliminate that issue.
This will not impact existing patrons! Everyone who is already pledged will continue t...

Grace makes swimming through the waves look easy! It helps to have a powerful rudder.
Evidently Wat sketched this with the intention of the scene angled against the horizon, with Grace jumping out of the water like a dolphin, but I misinterpreted it as a backstroke XD Still, I think it turned out nice with the light dancing off the water! What do you guys think?
