The cleanup pass was already updated, the additional romance is still in the writing phase. The expansions are a long way off. We have added a small bonus story content for 100%ing the game to the list of upcoming updates which should be sooner though.

I’ll see about updating the discord link, though I’m not sure where you found it, I can’t find any discord links here.

https://discord.gg/helmetfox should be a working link.

Oh, I’m very sorry, this is a year late response - for some reason your post was flagged. I wasn’t even aware posts could be flagged here.

Unfortunately we cannot afford professional localization on a project this large yet, there are fan translations for various languages but no one is working on a CN translation yet, I don’t think. Very sorry!

There are different types of characters coming but I can’t promise anything specific right now. The current roadmap is: 100%~ Completion bonus short story, Rowan, the Fae DLC and then a final DLC. No dates on any of them, they’ll be released on Patreon as they are finished for Patrons to preview in chapters.

First, thanks you for playing Changeling Tale! Glad you found it fun and enjoyed the story :B

The orbs on the tree don’t do anything, and I’m not sure they will.

The dials on the mainscreen are for access to the dev menu items, temp builds we made like the game announcement and april fools, and cheat mode to unlock everything.

Hazel might be more involved in future chapters we have planned :V

I believe the paths don’t hint that they are there at all, outside of achievements and such. That’s why the guides there! :B

You chase after her and then come back instead of swim to your death, and you’ll be on another path from there.

She doesn’t become a Seal, Malcolm does. It sounds like you are missing an ending, it is a path under catch and release, there are instructions in this guide on how to obtain it! :B

Hm, that’s odd, are you on the mobile version of the game?

After you finish the Selkie ending (the one where Malcolm turns into a seal), when the credits finish (don’t spam click through it on accident), you should be presented with a small scene with seal Malcolm and Grace and a sunken boat. You aren’t seeing this at all?

Which ending are you getting? The selkie ending is the one with a post-credits scene.

It sounds like you’re just missing the at least one ending, if you’re using skip to go over things it can sometimes miss the ending trigger if you skip the post-credits scene, you need to stop skipping the credits right near the end and let the post-credits play out completely. I think we fixed this bug in the next build we’re working on.

현재 게임을 번역할 수 있는 리소스나 지식은 없지만, 일부 언어 번역을 위해 적극적으로 활동하는 팬들이 있습니다. 안타깝게도 한국어로 번역하는 팬은 아직 없습니다. 팬 번역을 하고 싶으시다면 저희가 할 수 있는 모든 방법으로 기꺼이 도와드리겠습니다!

We currently don’t have the resources or knowledge to translate the game into Korean at the moment, but we do have fans actively working on translating to some languages. Unfortunately I don’t know anyone that is working on a fan translation into Korean. If you’d like to do a fan translation we would be happy to help you any way we can!

(Please excuse any errors in the translation, I am working with a machine translator.)

We’re still working on it :B

We have no set date, we’re working on Rowan now which will be a free update to the base game, the others will come in paid expansions to the game.

Hurray!

Glad you got it working, I hope you enjoy the game! :B

We’ve heard of this happening before but haven’t been able to figure out what exactly causes it. I think we narrowed it down to Russian users using Windows or Renpy not being able to save its persistent variable in the renpy save data directory in appdata.

Are you running Russian language windows?

If you are, one user gave us these instructions in order to fix this issue on their computer:

1. Start new game, unlock enough to use reset button in branches. (in the top left)
2. Go to game folder and start the game with admin rights and it should fix the bug.
3. Just open the game with steam as usual.

It does seem to be related to not being able to create files in the appdata folder.

Thank so much for playing, glad you enjoyed it!

Because of the way Changeling Tale is being funded (mostly over Patreon) we get to expend a lot of extra effort into the game to make it really high quality despite it’s niche genre. It’s a unique situation but when we asked our backers they almost universally wanted higher quality updates vs quick/short VN’s like a lot of other furry vn’s on steam.

Right now we’re hard at work on both the Rowan romance and another side story as a free update. We are going to put as much effort into each planned romance as we have the rest of the game.

But, all of that stuff in the back of the book is just for fun, don’t read too much into it :B

There are definitely more stories planned! Our plans are to keep following Malcolm but there are further romances and the world will definitely be elaborated on :B

Cernunnos is unlocked by getting 100% completion, you need to see every major scene in the game.

Nah, he’s workin on the next chapter still, he’s just busy on a lot of projects.

Hey, that’s fantastic, I’m glad it’s working now!

Enjoy Changeling Tale! :B

Hm, I just tried to run it on the itch app and it seemed to work fine to me, could you perhaps uninstall the game, the reinstall it and choose a different install location?

Thank you! Am I understanding that you got it working with the itch app?

Heya, this error seems to pop up when you’ve extracted the game into a weird place, like a protected downloads directory or to a directory you don’t have permissions to use. It can also pop up if you try to run the game from the zip file it comes in, are you sure that you extracted the program to its own directory before you attempted to run it?

Sorry, itch doesn’t notify immediately about comments - the next update will be a smaller one, just improving some of the art and very small content addition - new characters take a long time to make and won’t be for quite a while.

We have an update and a free DLC planned, then 2 paid expansions. The update should be next month, but the rest are going to be quite a bit of a wait. Game development takes time :B

Thank you, we will! :B

I won’t tell you who it is, but I will tell you it is supposed to be a mystery and it is not the player or a unnamed narrator. They will play into later expansions of the game when we get to those. There are some good theories on the discord and there are enough clues to figure it out in game if you pay attention to the lines, but it is intentionally vague.

There are 4 different dialogue options, I believe only 3 of them are required (specifically the 3 with unique scenes, the one where you tell Alana immediately doesn’t count). You get the achievement after you’ve completed all of the scenes associated with those choices to their ends. Make sure you aren’t bailing out after just clicking the options.

This is what you should see after you click download, these are all full versions of the game.

It also should have sent you a download link in your email that takes you to the same page.

Can you click on that download button? It should take you to a page where you get 4 different download links afterwards.

I’m confused, can you take a screenshot of what you’re seeing after you click the “download” button there and paste it here?

Hey! After you purchase new links become available. You should see something like this on the project page at the top:

You need to click download there and pick one of the full versions out. Once you do this you should be able to extract and run it somewhere. If you’re still seeing the demo you are likely accidentally running the demo copy somehow. Let me know if this solves your problem or if you still need help!

Hey fun lore fact, Ach-na-Creige isn’t an invention of our own - it comes along with the legend of the Glaistig!

https://web.archive.org/web/20060106110024/http://www.mysteriousbritain.co.uk/folklore/scots_folk/glaistig.html

The town itself doesn’t exist in real life, but is part of legends and tales, so it is itself a mythological reference. Feel free to include it! :B

This game was a success for us, so I think we intend to keep making games and content for games as long as we can :B

Thank you very much, glad you enjoyed it! :B

Grace does have a happy ending for just those two - if you check the pinned post on this board I have instructions on getting all the secrets, endings, and content in the game.

Unfortunately - the ‘when’ is the hardest part, I’m afraid. You’ll just have to wait for it, or pledge on Patreon if you want the news as we develop it!

Probably not a full sequel, but definitely expansions coming at some point.

Future planning! :B

Alternate languages? There are some fan translations but we aren’t currently working on any translations ourselves yet, sorry!

Heya, sorry it was difficult for you to find it! Glad you enjoyed the game otherwise.

The demo has been available for free for a long time, but not the full version, that’s always been paid.

We have, we’re trying to figure out how to best go about doing it first. We’ve got a patch to do before we jump into that though.
