Art Book Update & Sneak Peek (Minor Spoilers, NSFW)
🕑 Added 2023-05-12 23:46:46 +0000 UTCAn update on the Changeling Tale art book! With all of the content we wanted to pack into it, the art book ended up about twice as big as we were expecting. Right now it's sitting at over 100 pages! Although that has meant taking us longer than expected to put together, those of you who are excited to dip into what we've assembled will now have a pretty exhaustive collection of sketches, finished art, bonus art, and insights into development to peruse. It's a truly comprehensive companion to the game!
The art book is 98% complete, save for a few final sketches to add from the current game chapter still in development. While I'd love to make the book available as soon as it's done, because these sketches are very spoiler-heavy, we've decided to delay its release until Grace's finale is in Early Access. And finishing Grace's finale is what we'll be focused on next!
Our reason for prioritizing the art book was to begin the printing process, which will take several months to produce and ship the physical copies. We're still working on finding a printer who will print NSFW material like this, and hope that we'll be able to publish the book just as it is. If for any reason we need to censor anything in the physical version, be assured that the digital copy will remain exactly how we've assembled it now!
In the meantime, enjoy these sneak peeks at the art book! And thanks always for your support!

Depending on how much bandwidth we have what with the upcoming AnthroCon booth and completing Grace's finale, we may begin reaching out to eligible patrons as early as after the book has gone to print, or otherwise after the convention.

That's a minor spoiler if you haven't played through Jessie's story line ^^; Actually kind of a major spoiler, I guess XD

When will access to purchase/preorder the book be made available?
Pheagle
Hold on Malcolm turns into a werewolf too? I want to see those assets
Little Napoleon
Yes, the digital version is a $10 tier reward and will also be made available for purchase on Itch.io and Steam on release!
Ben Verschell
Fair enough. Will a digital version be available for purchase even if there are no excess physical copies?
Little Napoleon
It took up a lot more time than we were expecting! Definitely happy with the result, though!
Little Napoleon
If only Ach-na-Creige were real ;_;
Little Napoleon
Thanks Omni! We hope so too.
Little Napoleon
Thanks Scott! We did our best to make it look professional and stuff as much art and insight as we could into it!
Little Napoleon
At the moment it's only being offered as a reward for the $25 tier, although we may end up selling any surplus copies at conventions, or possibly online if there are a lot left over. Glad you like how it's turning out!
Little Napoleon
We really appreciate the chance to work on it for you all!

I'll save myself for when I get my physical copy but nice to see that you hit the 98% mark! This sounded like a real ball buster to get together for you and wat

Looks amazing! Also, apologies if this has been stated before, but will the art book be available to purchase for those of us not at the $25 level?

This is a wonderful sneak peak! The reference pages are also much appreciated for those of us learning to draw and want to give a go at the characters.
