Changeling Tale Demo 1.0 for PC (Major Spoilers, NSFW)

Little Napoleon

Thank you so, so much!!! We'll have an update to the demo out tonight with all sorts of new features and a new look, too :) Enjoy!

Eduardo Valenzuela Gutiérrez

I looooove it! I gotta say, it gave me shivers all the way to the end, and your art is fantastic as always. Please keep it up! I can't wait to see more ;)

Jennifer Friedl

Finally had the chance to get the second ending! It was super cute and I loved it :D

Little Napoleon

Wonderful! We really appreciate the support and encouragement!

Little Napoleon

Make sure you get both endings! Well, one's not really an ending, but it's as far as the demo goes, and it leaves off on a much happier note than the other one ^^; And thank you so much! We'll definitely include more interaction going forward ;)

Little Napoleon

Inorite?!

Kyera Angelus

Just finish the demo. The music and the writing, along side with the beautiful artwork... everything just pulled on my heart strings towards the end. If this is just a small piece of the pie, I'm certainly looking forward to the full thing. Once the money is in my hands, you'll find yourself with another backer.

Jennifer Friedl

Loved the demo but was left sad by my current outcome in chapter 2. Look very forward to delving deeper into the characters and to being a bigger part of the story. Loved the music and the content of the storytelling. Hope for slightly more interaction? But very pleased with our sneak peak :D

shay

Dis music tho

Little Napoleon

Thanks for the feedback! We'll definitely keep a close eye on it to make sure we don't overuse the same sentence structure over and over!

Guardianslade

I'm not really sure honestly? Really most visual novels I would think are translations of Japanese to English, and probably aren't even correct. It just depends on how you want the plot to flow. But the repetition like *these are just examples* "I went to the window." "I looked inside." "I could see Jessie sitting upon the bed" "I wanted to go to her but I was hesitant" Just the many times in a row sounds odd.. does it not? Maybe it could be, Sauntering up to the window I looked inside. There upon the bed was my love Jessie. How my heart wanted to be with her, but hesitation gripped me. etc. I'm not an English major or anything, it's just my thoughts

Wat

Is this done differently in other visual novels?

Guardianslade

Also sorry for the block of text, is silly it didn't separate paragraphs. I hate reading stuff when that happens. lol

Guardianslade

Well I must say that it was an incredibly good demo and even very tense in many spots, the music is great and the backgrounds and art are fantastic! I will say though, there is one thing that seems to stick out, that also might just be me. The writing while extremely good for the most part, in conversations and such it is really good, seems to snag when it's Malcolm on his lonesome. I feel the use of the term "I" especially to start him doing something *almost everything solo* is far over used since it happens many times in a row at the beginning of a sentence. Also the use of "I" makes me feel like it isn't me playing at all, since Malcolm does what he wants. Like if it's him telling the story, then why am I making a choice anywhere at all! *laughs* That is ok, but if he is going to do it, then he should just do it. So in a way it feels misplaced for some reason. *At least to me* Since we already know it is him doing whatever as he is the only person present. The rest is great though! So do not let me dishearten, I figured it would just be something to think about.

Little Napoleon

No spoilers, but... perhaps! :3

Little Napoleon

Woooo, go team Marion! Thank you so much - I was biting my nails on release, so comments like this are super-encouraging (and an enormous relief XP)!

Little Napoleon

Thanks for helping make it come to fruition!

Lord Zero 1606

I really would love to see the character be present during the first transformation of one of the girls. It would make an even stronger impact than watching your loved one transform back. Sadly it would also remove some mystery but I guess that would be a worthy price to pay.

Little Librarian

Nope! Just a fan.

Rye black

Awesome Demo! I had high hopes and it was better than that so awesome job! Now my only problem is that I want more! But I'm glad I still don't know anything about Marion's playthrough I got a funny feeling she will be my favorite because of her personality and that I'm a cattle farmer for a living haha. I can wait to dig into her story with the full Game!

Wat

No bias here :V

Little Librarian

What a great game! I can't wait to play it again and again!

Little Napoleon

Hahaha, thanks a ton! *high-paw-five*

Little Napoleon

Awesome! More is on the way!

Little Napoleon

I think we will leave this section as the "demo" since it is a good cross-section of what the game has to offer, but we're considering releasing some builds in advance of the final game, if people are receptive to the idea. Look for a Patreon post about it soon!

Scorchie

Fantastic work and two transformed paws up for a great job. Excited for the main build. ^^

Really great! It definitely left me wanting more.

CADAMAN

Amazing work! The! Hopefully in the next demo batch we'll get to see more on Marion. Happy to patreon an awesome project! 😁

Little Napoleon

Thankya! o7

Little Napoleon

I will pass that along to our writers for sure - thank you so much!

Little Napoleon

Sooooon! ;)

lightningshifter

The portion that is present is fairly melancholy in tone. A sweet, yet sad story. I think it is worth playing to even get a taste of the caliber in storytelling here.

Sheeron

Loved how the story played out and now I want more!

Little Napoleon

Awesome!

Little Napoleon

Totally up to you! There are definitely a fair number of spoilers in it, but on the flip side, the full game is many months away, yet!

Little Napoleon

There's lots of work ahead of us, but all this encouragement is just making us itch to see it through too!

Little Napoleon

That's fantastic to hear :D Glad you enjoyed the story!!

Little Napoleon

Thank you so much!

Little Napoleon

The game engine I'm using, Ren'Py, has a function for mobile builds but does not guarantee all of the elements will necessarily work. It's definitely worth trying though!

HJ

It works! Thanks!

Little Napoleon

It's just like a Windows Update!

Little Napoleon

Thanks! We'll have a post about the release schedule next weekend once people have had a chance to play the demo!

Little Napoleon

Brings a tear to my eye '_;

Little Napoleon

I'm not sure how well it works since I don't have a Linux machine myself, but here is a Linux build that you can try! Let us know how well it works for you! <a href="https://www.dropbox.com/s/jm4zaa8bwln4h1x/ChangelingTaleDemo-1.0-linux.tar.bz2?dl=0" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.dropbox.com/s/jm4zaa8bwln4h1x/ChangelingTaleDemo-1.0-linux.tar.bz2?dl=0</a>

Little Napoleon

Thanks a ton!

Nargus

I'm debating whether I should try it out now, or wait later for the full game for more surprises?

Sura-Resch

That was quite amazing. Looking forward to the rest.

Bradley The Blue Fox

Truly spectacular!!! I was with Malcolm the whole way, I truly felt the tension and the love between them. I can't wait to see what else happens!

Mr Nibz

Congrats! And its a very nice start :D Can't wait for the full game!

Austin Judes

Awesome is there any plan for a android/IOS build?

Zod

Congratulations! You're officially 3% complete!

Michael Christie

Lord Zero 1606

Great Demo, looks even better than imagined. You guys did a great job so far.

Wat

My understanding is that there should be a linux build, but he might need to figure out how to compile it for linux before he can guarantee anything.

HJ

Any chances of getting a linux build?

bakeneko

Little Napoleon

Wat
