Hope everything is going well. Sorry, I haven't been able to subscribe in a while. I just wanna say I'm extremely proud and happy to see on how far this VN has came back in 2020 when I received the bookmarks, I still use them to this day. They are absolutely amazing. Thank y'all for everything y'all have done, keep up the amazing work stay safe and stay awesome p.s congratulations on the successful journey and here's to more adventures
Thanks so much Z Man! We've come a long way, but there's still lots more ahead of us with Changeling Tale. We really appreciate you taking this journey with us and checking in on the project! Cheers!
Given how Discord's identification policy (it affected me, so I'm locked out), I'm curious if others have suffered the same issue, and if there are plans to provide an alternative community platform :D Aside from that, I've some feedback for Rowan chapter 1 - problems that I didn't experience in the previous chapters - thus I believe it's fitting to address them in the WIP chapter. (MILD SPOILERS) . . . -The bramble sequence at the cemetery confused me. It wasn't clear who was stuck and who was pulling out whom at the different points, I had to re-read it to figure it out. It's first time I've trouble following the narrative in the game. Maybe it could be rephrased for clarity? That'd even help players who inevitably stay up late to play the game :D -Malcolm tends to use quite advanced vocabulary at times, especially at the train station. I feel like he didn't use to be a walking dictionary to such degree - it's kinda distracting from the experience, especially given the implied limited time before the train's arrival. -Gran's animation (choreography) feels awkward when she hugs Rowan and Malcolm, then "phases" through the dining table only to slide out the scene. Maybe it'd be better if she moved left directly after hugging Malcolm, instead of teleporting back behind the table? I'm aware the sprite is scaled to a large size when close to Malcolm, so maybe it looks awkward)
Sorry I missed your comment previously! At the moment Discord is still a major community hub for the game, although we can always be reached by DM here or on our various other platforms. And we really appreciate the chapter feedback!
Hi, I've been a member for quite a while but only recently checked back in. Is it still possible to download the key or have I missed the release and need to go through steam?
If you signed up prior to the games release we can work something out, you'll have to DM Little Napoleon though!
Having the same issue I cant download the latest build because Itch.io won't let me even tho I am defiantly subscribed
Thanks for reporting this, I just sent off a message to Patreon a bit ago and they seem to have fixed it! Can you give the download a shot and see if it works now?
any1 having issues downloading the latest build? itch.io keeps throwing an error as if im not subscribed and I am...
Did you get help with this?
I think I'll finally dl the latest build and give it a try. It'll be my first time since the very first build of it.
Have fun! A whoooole lot's changed since then!
I simply love the game & would actually like a Nintendo switch port of it ;) Also hope more stories come out (Actually also interested in Effie's, Hazel's & Alana's stories, tbh) Also, such a beautifull musical score... & ofc, on my mind, are there even more cow girls anywhere, in this beautifull tale? Or are we gonna see Marion's kids someday...?
Thanks so much for the kind words Danny! I'd love to see Changeling Tale on Switch, too, but I'm not sure our SFW mode would cut it for Nintendo's censors, haha. While Marion is our only cowgirl, she is not our only ruminant, and we have eleven total romantic storylines in store when all is said and done!
for some reason the android version just black screens when I load it up. do you know of any fixes for this?
Deleting the game and clearing the cache seems to fix this for some people, have you been able to load it up before or is the first time using it?
I am so invested in this story. Thank you for putting this together.
It's been a labor of love! Thank you so much for helping make it possible!
I found a copy of this online and my heart was lost to it so quickly. The characters and the charm the amount of love put into this. I was crying both from happiness and from sadness at scenes and this is a truly breath taking work of art. After seeing it I knew I had to support it. I love how gentle the path I am on is yet at the same time the vulnerability and just passion behind everything. To say this is an emotional ride for me is an understatement. Several projects I've pulled back on so I can show as much support to this as I can as I really hope this carries on its own adventure. This is very unique. I've always had a huge soft spot for relationships that go beyond boundaries out of love and the idea of human or beyond, for the love to not diminish in the slightest hits me to my core how much passion and love that sentiment speaks as well as trust. Honestly would go for £100 a month which is most of what I have left over but alas can't select a custom amount haha Thank you for creating this for so many to be able to experience its honestly breath taking.
Wow! Thank you so much for your kind words and generosity! With support like yours, we're able to continue the project that means so much to all of us. You really don't know how much your contribution means. We love hearing that the story is touching readers and impacting their lives positively. That's ultimately the end goal for the team and the visual novel as a whole. I'll pass along your words to the others, and let them know they're doing a great job. Hope the upcoming chapters hit the mark for you, as well. Thanks again! We can't do this without our amazing patrons, like you!
Hi! I can’t open it I am on mac and cannot make me the owner. I am in finder right now and the “make me the owner” button is greyed out. Any tips?
Hi James-- Does it work if you extract the files out of the zip and into a different folder/drive?
I'm absolutely blown away by this vn. Every aspect is so professional: the plot, the setting, the dialogue, the character development, the music, and especially the art! Though the process will be almost completely unbearable, I'll have to wait until the game's completed to play any more, since I don't think I can stomach another "to be continued". Until then, the least I can do is contribute as much as my student-debt ridden butt can spare. Since I can't spare much, I'd just like the Helmet Fox team to know how much I appreciate your commitment, passion, and willingness to put yourselves out there and share your talents with the world.
Thanks for the positive review and for your support! We're all really dedicated to the project, and are happy to hear when readers are loving so many aspects of it. We'll keep working hard toward release so you can enjoy the rest of it!
I just became a patron, and for some reason, the early access version of the game, despite downloading fine won’t seem to run at all for me.
specifically, it is a 0xc00007b error, and i've tried all the generic fixes with no luck
I cant open the game anylonger
Which build and operating system are you using, and can you screenshot the error you get for us?
why is there not a android link anymore?
The Android build is the .apk file ^^ There should be a little Android icon next to it on the download screen.
Always loved keys to maps and this is a great one. You guys put so much care into your game, your sites you use and into us. You’re definitely one of the most awesome developers out there! I really hope you guys make it big and help to influence the field into a more inclusive and friendly environment as you have done so far!!
Thank you for the support, we'll keep trying to meet everyone's expectations :B
Everything looks and sounds good from all the posts! ^^ Is there a difference between 0.4.21, and 0.4.22? I tried 0.4.21 back in november-ish and just noticed the number was a teeny bit different. Just a small bug fix or something?
Pretty much! We added the new logo and added animation to the first TF scene, fixed some image bugs, and made some adjustments to sprites for anatomy and consistency ^^
