Patron Decided Romance - Concept Poll

Little Napoleon

Oh, this is the only game we're working on right now ^^ We're just planning ahead and collecting ideas for what we'll work on next when Changeling Tale's done, since we definitely want to continue making games! As for what's in store for Changeling Tale itself, we have several M/F and F/F relationships planned, but no M/M ones this time around. I don't want to go too much into spoilers here, but if you use Discord at all we do have a Spoilers channel where folks are free to discuss them!

Raxynus

Aww now I'm sad that I didn't become a contributor sooner. I am still working my way in the story but I would love to see more tales reminencet to the region this is in ya know? Reading some of the comments though shows that you are also working on another game. I am curious to see where this game will help you jump off to! And no, I won't ask for detials, clearly you post when you need and are happy to do so. So I'll be happy when you do and, till that time, will be happy with such a wonderful masterpiece as this story! Naturally, I'm also curious to know if there is ​any other F/F storylines in this game. And, becuse ​being equal is cool, if there is also a​n​y M/M storylines as well.​

Little Napoleon

You mean for the next game? That sounds like fun, but I imagine we'll stick to original material just in case there'd be any IP issues ^^;

NightBridge

Have you ever considered a Crossover fan VN between two existing franchises? There's this one called "Turnabout Storm" that meshed Phoenix Wright and My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic (of all things! XD) quite well!

GREG STEELE

Agh, that's a shame, especially since it's so close....oh well. Either option will be great, and I'm sure that we'll be happy in the long run to get this mysterious next project out as soon as possible!

Little Napoleon

I wouldn't expect so-- we've got a lot of ideas we're excited about for the next game, so we're bound to move on when Changeling Tale is done ^^;

GREG STEELE

is it possible the the options that don't win could be dlc?

GREG STEELE

oh, i was imagining malcolm would tg....but that's awesome too!

Little Napoleon

Spoilers! Human world, and the romantic interest will tg ^^

James Parsons

I'm a little confused about Concept #1. Is it meant to take place in the Fae realm or human world and who is getting TG Malcolm or his war buddy?

GREG STEELE

Rip options 2 and 4....3 could really use your votes ;) Check out the themes, they can't be beat!

Karras

I understand, thanks for explaining. I know you guys will do great justice to whatever option wins regardless!

Little Napoleon

Pregnancy is a tough theme for this particular game, since we'd want to treat it tastefully and really integrate it into the character concept as critical to her character development. Given that the other existing romance options have other primary themes, we'd rather not tack pregnancy on and not do it justice! The next game will probably be a bit less serious--more light-hearted--so we'll definitely keep it in mind for the next one!

Karras

Since it seems unlikely the only pregnancy option will be chosen, will any other romance options currently included involve pregnancy? I would absolutely love even just one romance in the game that combined TGTF with pregnancy.

Little Napoleon

We'll make sure to give everyone a heads up near the end of voting to let you change your vote if you like!

Little Napoleon

I'm glad they're all compelling!

Little Napoleon

Some day Patreon will implement that sort of poll, and a lot of creators will rejoice @_@ In the meantime, my recommendation is to check in closer to the end of the poll and switch your vote if you like!

Roidh

We really wouldn't need to go to a round of three before just moving to a head to head of the top two. Even now if every vote for 2 transferred to 4 it would still only have 26% of the vote (at the time of writing this) which is far less than the votes for 3.

GREG STEELE

yeah, hey peeps you should do that! ....and switch to 3....hehe. We're closing the gap!

Wat

The poll allows vote switching and is going to be up for 2 weeks, I think we want to have the poll finished soon so we can figure out how to work the character into the game :B If your vote is in 3rd or 4th place, you can switch to your second pick :V

affie-beck-lauder

Ok, since people are having issues with the way the poll works (because patreon). Do others think there should be a run off poll between the remaining three spots to discount the votes the first place would get so as to have a final run between the winner of both polls in a single head to head? Wondering this because it is clear that people would love to rank their votes if they could and it seems like a fair way to find out how much interest was there for the other three ideas since they did pull high in the other polls beforehand.

affie-beck-lauder

I'm still putting in the good fight for this!

Val Salia

Could always link to an external poll site on occasion if it's really needed!

GREG STEELE

isn't it? 3 is my pick because species and unbeatable tf themes imo, but i wouldn't be upset with any of these. that's the good part about it being hard to choose :)

GREG STEELE

No worries! Just a minor complaint :)

Ethura Grym

I find the four interesting idea, I would like all the reads ... the choice is really hard ...

Wat

Apologies, we've requested ranked voting every single month on the Patreon community page and it is always shot down :(

GREG STEELE

Ah, I see...so this means everyone better vote otter to ensure mc tf! Alert the media! ;D

GREG STEELE

yeah, that's a logical thing to do

Cedric L.

Likewise, good sir. Likewise, indeed.

Roidh

I wish this wasn't done with first pass the post voting over some sort of ranked voting system. At least the votes are public and switchable so I can move it off of 2 since it seems to be a dead option at this point.

GREG STEELE

oh gosh i wish

Little Napoleon

I've got to admit, I would be pretty excited to read how our writers treat the subject!

Little Napoleon

I didn't want to spoil things too much here ^^;

LastLight

Number One is hands down the one for me. I can already feel the emotional impact from it and I haven't even read the first word.

Liane Rabbitfangs

I'm sure we'll ALL be happy no matter which one wins, but I'm gonna be extra happy if it's #3, for a bunch of reasons. >:3

GREG STEELE

Come on! Otter fans, f/f fans, feral fans, and multibreast fans unite! We can do it!

tazkol

is that even an option?

GREG STEELE

I wish these were labelled with which include malcolm transforming, only one that's for sure is option 3. i assume others do too

Little Napoleon

Alas, with this one there can only be one winner :c

Little Napoleon

I'll be honest, I'm surprised otter's doing so well, and I'm glad it's making for such a close poll! We'll be happy whatever wins!

Little Napoleon

Haha, I'm sure a lot of folks share the sentiment ^^

Little Napoleon

Otterly adorable!

Little Napoleon

LL & I collectively d'awed when we saw the idea! It was too good--and too poignant--to pass up! Thanks a ton for the suggestion!

Little Napoleon

*crosses fingers for all four*

Little Napoleon

We did our best to make each option compelling :D

Little Napoleon

That's the goal, if it wins! We'll do our best ^^;

Little Napoleon

Can't go wrong with vixens!

Little Napoleon

Whatever themes don't make it into Changeling Tale, we'll definitely consider for the next game!

OPjack

Yup :)

Little Napoleon

It looks like that is a broadly shared sentiment XD

Little Napoleon

A run-off, perhaps? We'll see!

Little Napoleon

It'd definitely be a different story line from the ones currently in the story!

Little Napoleon

Thanks! And agreed-- you guys gave us a great set of parameters to work with!

Little Napoleon

I dunno, it's looking pretty close right now!

Little Napoleon

It's shaping up to be a close race!

Shadow

Ideas 1 and 2 is great. Wish we could choose more options in this pole.

GREG STEELE

We know that with you guys though, whatever wins will be awesome!

GREG STEELE

it looks like otter has a chance! I'm so excited!!!!

Tmothy B. Ross

As interesting as concepts 2, 3, and 4 would be....... Sorry, dragons have always held a bigger interest with me.

CADAMAN

Otterwoman? I love it!

Cedric L.

I'm thrilled that you put the concept 1 on. Cannot wait for the result

tazkol

fingers crossed on 3

Some Foxy

Damn it... Can't seem to make a decision on which one to choose!

Corbynprower

i really love 1 and feel it will be a very emotional and feel trip

MadameChakat

It was pretty tricky to pick between 2 and 3, but the M/F made the decision for me to pick 2.

TheHyperblast

I really wish we could get all of them one day.

1 and 3 are both really good!

James Parsons

What will happen if there is a tie?

Drek the Bat

Love what you have all come up with! Otterwomans list of themes is too good to pass up :D

Aosheun

They all sound so good! Whichever wins will be a welcoming addition regardless.

OPjack

Big fan of 2 and 3, but I think Dragon will win with a landslide;)

littleironman

Really hope 3 or 4 takes it !
