Play Scene (Minor Spoilers, NSFW, Hi-Res)
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?This week we also have a non-canon al...

At 40 music tracks and counting, the Changeling Tale Soundtrack is a work of art unto itself, and something our composer CheasyDino is rightfully proud of! While the OST is available on Steam and to our Sponsor tier patrons right here on Patreon, I imagine most of you listen to the soundtrack in-game; which brings us to today's topic, the Music Room!As one of the few remaining stock Ren'Py...

Baird's Entry - Faerie Ring
Faerie RingWithin the Earth, toil’d soft and brownThere grows the ring of mushrooms sownBy faeries’ toes, long after dusk‘Twixt in the paper’d berries’ husksGooseberry seeds sprout round the plotWhere flutt’ring nymphs plant burgeon knotsConcentric circles born of sporesThe sprites return when grounds transformFrom grey to white and white to greenSpring sun arrives and so the queenCall...

Grace Sprite Concept Art & Input (Minor Spoilers, NSFW)
Today we wanted to share with you some concept art for one of Grace's forms. You may not wish to read ahead and view them, though, if you don't want spoilers!When we sought your feedback last year, the community was fairly split on the idea of giving Grace an additional form, with those in favor slightly edging out those who would prefer her to remain as she is. We've listened, and as ...
Merchandise Poll - Pin Styles
We'd like to have some swag ready when the game releases, and one of the most sought after items in our merchandise poll was pins! As we get the ball rolling, here are a few designs Wat has come up with.If just one of these was made available, which pin would you buy?Whichever design is most popular, we will use the same style for the other romances. And don't worry-- whatever doesn't ...

First off, if anyone is planning on visiting AnthroCon, feel free to say hi to project artist Watsup while you're there! He'll be the official Changeling Tale ambassador attending the convention this year and will probably be doodling at a table somewhere in "The Zoo."While Wat is conventionside, I'll keep on coding here at home (while trying not to be *too* distracted by SGDQ ...

Name that Boat!
Hopefully everyone is enjoying Jessie's finale! While you all complete your playthroughs, we thought we'd get your input on a feature of the next chapter we're working on!Without going into spoilers, I think it's fair to say that having a Nessie girlfriend would warrant a nice boat of your own to follow her out into the water.With a maximum length of 6 letters (this is important fo...

Rhos When? (NSFW)
Malcolm is lucky-- it looks like Rhoswen is willing to be lenient today. Good thing he's had practice at giving good belly scratches... although perhaps she was angling for something else?Rhoswen superfan Nandred talked me into drawing his favorite bobby cù-sìth in between Grace coding sessions. You all remember Rhoswen from the trailer, right? ; )Even though this green dog has gone through ...

Quick Update!
My apologies for the lengthy period without a post-- I should share the unfortunate news that our artist Watsup had a loss in his family, and that there will be a delay in Jessie's chapter's release while he tends to his affairs :(I'll have brighter news next time, just wanted to be forthright about the cause of the holdup. Thank you for understanding!
Bonus Art - Griffin Grace (NSFW, Hi-Res)
Don't worry, we didn't redesign Grace *again* ; ) This bonus image came to be when Wat was sketching griffin ideas for last month's Baird's entry. With which do you think the youngest MacLeod looks better, fins or feathers?Speaking of Grace, the majority of the team is now fully focused on Grace's finale, with Jessie's conclusion completely coded and illustrated for all but...

Baird's Entry - Griffin
GriffinSuch a luscious feast for the eyes to behold! The fabled griffin—with the body and hindquarters of the regal lion, and the head and wings of a majestic eagle—is arguably the most royal of beasts. She is truly a divine representation of animal forms, known as a heraldic symbol of heavenly power.Blessed with a hypnotic gaze and innate abilities to defend, the lovely griffin has long been ...

Changeling Tale's Journey (with Numbers!)
Having just finished the last of Jessie's frame assets, and with only epilogue art and a few odd scenes to go, it looks like the next Early Access build will be ready to release in around two weeks! Since the stuff I've been finishing has too many spoilers to post, and with this big milestone just ahead, I thought now might be a good time to share with newcomers how far we've come sinc...
Itch.io Portal Temporarily Down (EDIT: It's Fixed!)
Just a quick heads up that Patreon's Itch.io integration seems to be down! We learned about the problem yesterday, and we and several other game projects have support tickets in with Patreon and Itch.io to resolve the issue.Hopefully it won't take long for them to fix the problem, but until then, if you need to download the current Early Access build, please DM either myself or Watsup here...
A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Stag & Nanny (NSFW)
Since all the assets I'm finishing are in heavy spoiler territory, this week we're sharing a picture our artist Watsup recently drew for fun of our favorite publican recounting quite the tall tail! Er... tale.At the moment this isn't canon, but it's always fun to let our imaginations run wild! Sometimes ideas like this even inspire Easter Eggs in the game!What sorts of Easter Eggs ...

Baird's Entry - Unicorn
UnicornAnd now is the time in which I settle in, dear reader, to tell you the personal tale of my interview with the elusive Bernice Bachelor, known internationally as the Hermit of Pittenweem, Fife. Despite the well-known history of Scotland’s national animal, the unicorn, very little has ever been recorded of the intimate details of The Transformation of Bernard to Bernice, the incident that o...

Which Assets Should We Revisit?
Wat's putting in a little extra effort to make the upcoming Baird's post special, so while he finishes that up, we wanted to ask for your feedback!Changeling Tale has been the longest project that anyone on our team has undertaken, and over the course of its development our skills have improved and our styles have evolved. This means that some of the earlier work we did on the game likely ...
Height Chart (Minor Spoilers)
A few people this month have been asking about the heights of the characters, and apart from a sense of their relative heights to each other, we didn't yet have anything set in stone! So this week I put together a line up of Changeling Tale's current protagonists and determined their heights using this handy-dandy height chart.Spoilers ahead for anyone who's not yet played to the end o...
