We're thrilled to announce a new artistic direction for Changeling Tale:

CalArts!


Polls show that the artistic style made popular by such animations as Adventure Time, Gravity Falls & Steven Universe better resonates with our audience than the highly detailed, fully shaded art we currently make.


Going forward we will be converting all existing, lovingly rendered assets into the new style. General Irrelevant, who made all these mockups, will be assisting in the conversion.


Here are some examples of the design changes. From left to right: Jessie, Grace, Marion, and Malcolm.



We're also excited to be working in tandem on an anime adaptation of Changeling Tale.


To complement the change to an animated style, we've decided to go all in and launch a series of animated episodes called Changeling Tale Shorts!

Nocturn3 has already generously begun storyboarding the pilot episode. You can check it out, attached!


We hope you all are feeling as "animated" as we are for these thrilling new developments! Big shoutouts to both General Irrelevant & Nocturn3 for their outstanding work that made it all possible. Happy April, everyone! Let us know your favorite designs in the comments!

I for one welcome our worm smile overlords.

Xaziana Tenebris

I, for one, can't stand the new art style, will there be an option to choose or switch between the two art styles?

OmniOtter

I just loooove the Thundercats Roar look. The CalArts style is here to stay... bahahaha.

And you get a pitchfork and you get a pitchfork. :D The artwork gave it away. Almost forgot what day it was.

MagicChurro

Thanks, I hate it Got me with the steamed hams comic, I appreciate the japes.

Justin Kinninger

If it wasn’t April fools day I would have believed that part about the anime but sadly I knew it wasn’t meant to be. Also does Malcolm have a transformation besides his dream/nightmare

It's a bold move, but some say the riskiest decisions can be the most rewarding. And by some, I mean CalArts.

U got me for a solid second there

Ngrasta

The change no one asked for, but everyone is forced to accept. \o/

1. Calarts doesn't look that good, stop lying... 2. Oh come on that would be awesome. 3. Can't we have a decent short series if you can't give us the anime?

MrMoonside

Another conversion? Duuude I'm still in the middle of the Snes version 🤣 Nice one though, made me smile and chuckle a bit 🤣

Tharkis

Drillhair for the win ! \o/

I think the scariest part is figuring out what is GI's and what could possibly be yours or wat's take on calarts style.

ComicTF

Doesn't matter. With a good story and characters anything can be sexy

Rey Fox

Ugh. I know, joke. Still, ugh.

Pheagle

Objection, your honor! Jessie's gloves aren't ripped in this art style :P

It’s a good joke and all but now I feel dirty. Seeing this is just plain uncomfortable.

Val Salia

AAAA WHAT AR U DOING STOP IT

Turnstyle

idk about this

Turnstyle

OH SHIT ITS APRIL 1ST YOU BASTARD.

I know this is a Aprils Fools post and all. But how about you actually put that version of main menu art in the game, with a 1/100 chance to appear on the game launch? Just to screw with players even after April 1st?

WHEN DO THESE DROP, I MUST HAVE THEM V:

I was so worried for a second that it wasn't april fools xD

Some Foxy

Dear lords, if i hadn't known this was for April... I do however, enjoy how you and your team managed to first terrify me, then intrigue me!

LittleNapoleon

Y'know I've never tried it! I'd be out of my element-- I've never watched any CalArts cartoons D:

this would be funny to put as an easter egg inside the game honestly ^w^ but that's my opinion
