New: Dialogue Counts! (Patreon)

While we've been developing Changeling Tale, our game engine's creator, Renpytom, is also doing hard work to improve Ren'Py, keeping it up to date and adding new features for game makers like us to tinker with. We visual novelists are extremely grateful that Tom not only made Ren'Py, but that he has also continued to maintain and improve it for all these years-- almost 2 decades, now!

On the remote chance Tom ever sees this, thank you! None of this would have been possible without the foundation you built.

One of the latest features Tom added is a way to see how much dialogue each character has in the game. Knowing that many of you have a favorite character, I thought you all might appreciate these stats:

Total Blocks of Dialogue Per Character (so far)

• Malcolm- 4,123
• Grace- 1,695
• Marion- 1,523
• Jessie- 1,178
• Agnes- 752
• Alana- 396
• Balgair- 378
• Owen- 137
• Effie- 85

Including narration and all other characters, the game so far has 20,409 dialogue blocks amounting to 308,597 words-- that's more than the first three Harry Potter books combined! And of course, we're not done yet :D

We hope all our American followers had a wonderful Thanksgiving, and wish to extend our heartfelt gratitude to all of you around the world who support us and our game. We are incredibly thankful for you no matter the season!

More sneak peeks soon!
